Trad 130m Bungonia Gorge Very Good Sat 27th Apr 2024
Took a long long time. Some very thin sections at the grade, definitely much harder than strangeness and harder than the start of evolution. Pretty sure we found the right line based on the description, but found it rather desperate.

Came back to clean up the top pitch, so much glorious air. Incredible location. Next time i'll be back for the whole deal.

Finally!

 
23 Dead Metaphor — 2 attempts Trad 25m Arapiles Thu 28th Sep 2023
Took two shots, and ended up using the face much more than expected. Obviously with the bolts at the hard bit it feels like a sport route

 
22 On Edge Mixed trad 28m, 5 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 22nd Aug 2021
Got it! Great moves and a delicate crux. Keeps you on your toes.

 
22 Glory Rodent — 4 attempts Trad 20m Arapiles Very Good Wed 19th Apr 2023
Finally went after the last attempt had me climbing a waterfall.

22 Easy Does It — 3 attempts Mixed trad 12m, 2 Arapiles Good Thu 28th Sep 2023
Three shots, fun moves, used the face a lot more than the crack. Not as classic as skydiver really

 
E2 5c E2 5c The Goblin King Trad 20m Goblin Combe Classic Sun 7th Jul 2019
went back to finish it off.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Touch the Fire Trad 21m Shorn cliff Good Sun 8th Sep 2019
The start is spicy, but that doesn't really justify the grade

Had to bail out Neil. Suckaaaa

 
E2 5c E2 5c New Horizons II (New Horizons 11) Trad 18m Avon Gorge Classic Fri 7th Aug 2020
Felt really easy this time

 
21 Traverse of the Gods Direct Start Mixed trad 25m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 7th Oct 2021
Slipped off the tricky opening sequence, then it went fine the second go, cool traverse and an easy finish

 
21 The Janicepts Trad 27m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Thu 28th Oct 2021
Finally it goes down. Still a struggle, but never bored of working this one. I'll be back for laps.

 
21 Conquistador Trad 45m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Wed 13th Jul 2022
Managed to squeeze it in as the sun set. What a view and what a climb. Flawless.

 
21 Spoilt Brats and Gash Attacks Mixed trad 57m, 10 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Sat 17th Sep 2022
Came back to free it. Such a pleasure through beautiful 3D climbing. Its definitely a sport route, there is no runout on the flake, and anyway, who wants to place gear on layback.

 
21 Spoilt Brats and Gash Attacks Mixed trad 57m, 10 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Sat 17th Sep 2022

Went back for it and it didnt disapoint

 
20 Christian Crack Trad 13m Arapiles Classic Wed 7th Apr 2021

Went nicely this time as expected.

 
20 20 R Scourge Trad 20m Arapiles Very Good Fri 8th Apr 2022
Quite sustained and interesting start yields to a nice headwall.

Gear was fine, just a little wiggly. I missed the onsight because i didnt want to move far above a tiny nut, shouldve just kept it together.

 
20 Devils Dihedral Trad 45m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Tue 12th Jul 2022
Finally came for the lead. It took an age, bit finally i was clean on the top. Exhausting but brilliant

 
20 The Great Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine Trad 33m Frog Buttress Very Good Tue 27th Jun 2023
Came back for it and it went much better

 
20 Cadenza — 2 attempts Trad 20m Arapiles Classic Sat 30th Sep 2023
Two shots, didn't see a move on the onsight. Great fun, really well protected but heady traverse deserves more traffic

 
20 Atomic Punk Mixed trad 25m, 5 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 27th Jan 2024
Felt good this time, but it really is a bit of an intense lead, the runouts are solid but safe

Finally came back for it

 
E1 5b E1 5b Elysium Trad 37m Swanage Classic Sun 14th Jun 2020
Came back for the tick after falling at the peg first go. A nice route of varying style.

 
E1 5b E1 5b King Kong Trad 90m Wintour's Leap Classic Wed 1st Jul 2020
A great line with some great movement, seperated by some choss and vegetation. I still think the crux is the one stopper move in the second pitch

 
E1 5b E1 5b Flying Buttress Direct Trad 20m Stanage Mega Classic Wed 29th Jul 2020
Just gotta go for it

 
19 Jaws Trad 32m Point Perpendicular Classic Sun 24th Jan 2021
Got it again, the mega double hands at the top gets the rating.

 
19 Morfydd Trad 30m Arapiles Classic Thu 15th Apr 2021
Finally

 
19 Thruxton Trad 57m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 23rd Apr 2021
Maybe pumpier than the 21. But it went fine

 
19 Bereska Mixed trad 18m, 2 Watagans Classic Mon 12th Jul 2021
Went back for the send. Still pumpy but it went well

 
19 Tannin Trad 35m Arapiles Mega Classic Sun 10th Apr 2022
Always a pleasure, one of my all time favourites

 
19 Lemmington Trad 30m Arapiles Classic Thu 7th Apr 2022
A bit spicy at the top, definitely not what i remembered from years ago, but excellent moves and position.

 
19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Blue Mountains Classic Thu 19th May 2022
A really nice lead, great rock and moves, but i'll never understand the bolting or grade.

The only supplementary gear that would actually be useful consists of two #4 cams. But either way theres a couple of spots where a fall would drop you on a small ledge before falling onto a bolt a meter below. With the addition of two or three bolts it would be well protected sport. As is its just runout sport, but not a real mixed route.

As for the grade, theres no way the boulder goes at 19, its about 22. If you aid past then its probably only 17/18 from there. So how do you grade it? "17R Sport Batman start" might be fair, but it seems ridiculous.

 
19 Foreword Trad 69m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 26th Aug 2022
P1 Quite exciting and harder than it looks. Very smeary, and it's not over once you step around. Went up and placed high gear then led it clean, might be back to improve my style and to do the top pitches

 
19 Colosseum Corner Trad 78m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 11th Nov 2022
Thought I'd been up before, until i realised i remembered nothing of the top pitches.

Honestly the first pitch is mega, but the top pitches are really dirty and quite vegetated. Quite the adventure and still worth doing to the top.

Seconded the first pitch, which id led before. Led the second 19. Ran out of gear, so didn't link the final pitch. Also didn't like the carrots in that anchor, so belayed from the rings out right. All and all a bit of an epic, but that's why we're here.

 
19 Tannin Trad 35m Arapiles Mega Classic Wed 12th Apr 2023
Night lap this time. Alwaya mega

 
19 Gemini Trad 51m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 3rd Sep 2023
Beautiful. Really happy to feel chill the whole way up it

 
19 Sweet Dreams Trad 88m Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Classic Tue 3rd Oct 2023
Excellent. The first mixed pitch is a pretty rare style in australia, and the top two pitches each have a rather powerful crux through wild terrain at the grade

 
18 The Eternity Trad 22m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Sat 17th Sep 2016
18 Iron Mandible Trad 24m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Fri 13th Jul 2018
Finally came back for the clean lead. Delicate then powerful

 
18 The Rack Trad 13m Arapiles Classic Wed 7th Apr 2021
Nice, classic thin hands

 
18 Skink Trad 110m Arapiles Classic Sun 11th Apr 2021
Had to pitch it as i ran out of draws. should be a 2pitch

 
18 The Eternity Trad 22m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Fri 24th Sep 2021
I would do this route every day for a warmup and never get bored.

 
18 Hyaena Trad 16m Arapiles Very Good Wed 20th Apr 2022
Amnesia onsight. A great line and a hard move or two of powerful jamming. Good stuff.

 
18 Hyaena Trad 16m Arapiles Very Good Wed 20th Apr 2022
Another lap

 
18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Thu 19th May 2022
A really nice little clim. I expected a dawdle, but the start and the stepover were more intense than i expected, young me was pretty brave for how weak he was.

 
18 Elastic RURP Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Tue 12th Jul 2022
Hero climbing through easy but really exposed positions

17 Flake Crack Trad 53m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Thu 7th Oct 2021
again of course

 
17 Fire Bug Trad 63m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Fri 22nd Oct 2021
Finally got back to do the final pitch clean. Still a little strenous to be honest. But it went down without too much fuss. The first two pitches remain some of the best introductory jam climbing in the mountains, with good jams surrounded by good feet and some jugs. A great place to learn, and the top pitch is a great test at the grade.

 
17 Psychopath Trad 28m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Thu 28th Oct 2021
Again and always a pleasure

 
17 Grey Mist Trad 30m Point Perpendicular Mega Classic Sat 18th Dec 2021

A run up it to show claire. Lovely jugging, just gotta keep on trucking.

Pure class as always.

 
17 Ozone Action Mixed trad 20m, 3 The Cathedral Classic Sun 20th Nov 2022
Nice warmup as a sport route.

If led only on the bolts (including clipping one bolt from the offshoot left which can be reached very easily) its a bold but not unsafe sport climb. The nerviest bit was actually just getting to the first without stick clipping it.

Perhaps the description should be updated, as it is definitely reasonable but not mandatory to place any gear.

 
17 Currawongs & Chocolate Cakes Mixed trad 18m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Thu 15th Dec 2022

17 Interstate 31 Trad 30m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 31st Mar 2023
