Grade Route Gear style Quality
Mon 4th Nov 2019 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Duck Wall
16 Rabbit Season, Duck Season Sport 12m, 7 Good
Mildly stiff start then lots of rest stances.

 
18 Gosling Sport 12m, 4 Good
Crimpy start, then eases with rest opportunities.

 
21 Duck Tits Sport 16m Very Good
Difficult moves approaching (reachy) and after (crimpy) the big horizontal break.

 
17 How Much Is A Duck Worth Sport 15m Good
Good to get some extra length, but the final, easy push through the roof is a bit contrived.

 
Sun 18th Nov 2018 - Victoria Range
Red Rock Area Red Rock Pinnacles Vertebrae Pinnacle
19 Vertabrae Sport 15m Good
Looks incredibly unlikely at the grade, but the holds are all there.

 
Mon 2nd Apr 2018 - South-Eastern Grampians
North-West Serra Range Dreamtime Wall
17 Sorry Sport 15m, 3 Average
Definitely sandbagged, and with uncharacteristically long bolt spacing for the area. Felt more like 19. Definitely don't expect this to make a good warm-up climb.

 
Wed 19th Apr 2017 - Point Perpendicular
Seaside Windjammer Wall
20 21 Blowing In The Wind Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Very soft for a 21! Let's call it 20. Very nice climbing through a series of juggy breaks with occasional reachy moves and a few of the horizontal breaks being quite rounded. Lead on pre-placed draws.

 
22 Shooting The Breeze Sport 23m, 10 Very Good
Sustained grade 20-21 climbing with a crux finish that is very much grade 22, and quite reachy. Led on our told pre-placed draws.

 
19 Drunk And Disorderly Sport 20m Good
Mostly juggy, with maybe one move at the grade, a little above the ledge, when approaching the first ring bolt.

 
Thu 26th Jan 2017 - Camels Hump
Omega Block Area My Only Wish Wall
21 The Oblivion of Conformity Sport 18m, 4 Very Good
Very nice. Bouldery start then thin moves on the face. Unfortunately the final bolt isn't in a great position, as the crux is below it, and is quite run out from the previous bolt. By the time you reach the final bolt, the difficult climbing is all over, and there's trad placements available anyway if you want protection for the easy finish. If that bolt were a metre lower, then it could protect the crux.

 
Sat 14th Nov 2015 - 阳朔 Yangshuo
田家河 TianJia River 竹帘洞 Bamboo Cave
5.10d Chinstrap 下巴扣 (Chinstrap) Sport 16m, 8 Classic
Start left of bolt for an optional harder, bouldery start. Fantastic moves through overhang on tufas, requiring lots of bridging and careful footwork. Crux gaining stance on wide tufa left of 5th bolt.
