Sent! EZ PZ - Something harder now would be good. Also it's a prima route that deserves more than three ascents it got so far; jump on it! Thanks for bolting, Seb

28 27 Spoonman Sport 20m, 11 Mega Classic
First go today. Felt a little soft for a 28 but super classic it definitely is!

Done and dusted. In complete spooge none the less; humid and as tucked away from the breeze as baaaaaals today

8A - I swear I'm not even that good... But fuck it; maybe I am. Sky rocketing through grades lately. Plateau incoming in 3, 2, 1...

26 Three Men and A Ladder Sport 10m, 5 Mega Classic
On my fifth attempt today. Really pleased of how well I climbed it; was chatting to Tamati whilst doing all the moves. Provided me with some much needed beta; through the crux ended up doing my own [as per usual]. A bicycle toe hook to the anchors

 
Tue 10th Jan 2017 - Mt Coolum
28 27 Call of Duty Sport 25m, 16 Mega Classic
And it's a wrap. Second shot today. Felt really solid the entire way; this completes WoC. If you send the 27, definitely jump on this!

 
Wed 28th Dec 2016 - Mt Coolum
27 Weapon of Choice Sport 15m, 9 Mega Classic
A nice way to wrap up the year. Rock solid with NikoBetaâ„¢ most of the way - Umby lent a hand with the sequence [body position] for the top pinch section. Arrived at the anchors with minimal pump and had a quick go at COD (the climb, not the game) - best climb I have been on so far in my life. Even beats ghetto superstar

22 Skeleton Coast Sport 17m Very Good
Dino'd up to the reachy hold expecting a jug on my first attempt... Should have done the move statically; it wasn't a jug at all... cleaned the dog on my second ascent

KAPOW! A sneaky afternoon session. Second Shot - after working the crux sequence on my first go to a complete automation - Excellent climb

25 Hung Like A Fruit Bat - with jjobrien Sport 8m, 5 Classic
Second shot (third if i count the botched start). To be fair it would have taken longer if I didn't have a spray of beta coming my way - thanks for the great times John

Blew the on-sight on that long move. Make sure you meathook your left over it. It goes with relative ease then

20 I Can Believe it's Not Legal Sport 7m Very Good
So, we had heavy thunderstorms, rain and mist for the last 3 days straight. But this place is bomb proof right...? Well... It seems I may have been too overly enthusiastic about how dry this crag stays. I tried jumping on every climb today only 2 of them were any way possible to pull on. This on and Drug Baron. To the credit of this crag; these two routes apart from the hideaway were probably the only ones in NSW that were even remotely climbable. One Aid onsight to dry and one redpoint.

 
22 21 Drug Baron Sport 8m, 4 Classic
This is actually a very good climb. Once again I went up aiding on every clip. Emptied Sydney's supply of chalk on the holds and sent the following run.

There is a Niko Super Sandbag Variation at around grade 24-25 using the two chalked up mono-pockets because you didn't see the (non-chalked) undercling bellow.

Sent! Yeah I know what you're thinking; how the hell did that happen?! I can't believe it either. With that said, full disclosure: I clipped the anchors prior to making the last move. Im counting it.

Picks some of the best pieces of this wall and joins them together. Bring slung out draw for the traverse.

26 Junkyard Dog Extension Sport 25m Mega Classic
New quality rating - Legendary. The only climb that compares is Ghetto Superstar. If your upper difficulty is 24 and you're looking for your first 25-26 tick there is no route better than this. 5 Slings are >needed< to dial down the rope drag from abysmal to slightly less ridiculous. When coming back left towards the anchors of the 25 reach bellow to unclip the previous quickdraw and move it to the next bolt; helps a lot! Also met the kids. More broken glass, bongs and rubbish.

21 Welcome to the Body Shop Sport 12m, 5 Classic
Ground Fall from slightly above the 4th clip. Thankfully I landed flat on my back with minimal force as my belayer was still being pulled up by the force of my fall... From now on only normal ATCs and grigri's.

Wouldn't go out as far as saying the best 21 in Sydney. Vulgar Direct I felt was much much better; maybe it's because I decked though... Jump on it!

21 The Climb that was Sport 18m, 7 Very Good
Damn; should have onsighted but once again poor footwork on nothing particularly difficult got me unstuck

 
21 Vulgar Direct Sport 32m, 13 Mega Classic
Contender for the best 21 in Sydney region. This is the climb in the middle (not left) as the description has outlined. It's in-between BJ and HIL. Extend the following draws: 3, 4, 7, 8. Extremely solid for its grade; not an easy 21 tick.

25 24 The Junkyard Dog - with Sam Sport 17m Mega Classic
On second go; first clean 25! Bring three extended Quickdraws and a couple of longer boned ones to minimise rope drag. Also this and it's neighbour climbs are the only ones not to seep after rain. The extension is wet also. Will be wet for some time. If you're planning on coming here this weekend go to the hideaway instead. Will be wet for a few more days.

Hard to onsight. But a real pleasure to redpoint. Again 3 times; in order to set up top ropes for friends.

 
23 Fifty Shades of Mt Druitt. Sport 25m Mega Classic
4 ascents total. Should have sent it the second time but did a stupid move and slipped off the best jug on the whole climb. Had to do it again and then an other time to clean it all! Maybe the best 23 in Sydney.

Just love the starting sequence. The surfboard is pretty awesome too; that is when you realise it's much more sturdy than it looks. (Thank god)

23 Roast Lobster Sport 12m Mega Classic
Had to do numerous laps today with Tom as the holds were almost completely soaked in parts. We had mer minutes to get back on the climb before it became wet again. Finally sent this bad boy. Phenomenal roof climbing

P.S Double toe hook FTW!

Hmm... Guide says 22; I would say a bit soft for the grade apart from the move from the thin upside down flake near clip 2-3. Enjoyable.

In one word "eventful" went for a massive Dyno above the third clip. Grazed the entire front of my chest and found myself 50cm off the ground; Dom was dangling above. There went the onsight. Redpointing this was much better the second time around!

Funky slopers and committing movements. Fell off the last move by dyno-ing to it; apparently the juggy looking hold is very much a sloper. Ticked it the second time around.

20 Gloucester Buckets Sport 12m, 5 Classic
Came here with my best friend. Wow! What a #%%$ of a climb! Everything was super greasy and wet. Took a few good lead falls and wacked myself in the face with both my hands. Used up my entire chalk bag contents; red pointed on the second ascent. My advice, check the wind direction before you go and the amount of time since it last has rained!

Came here with a bouldering mat (as well as quickdraws); imagined this was a boulder; nek minut I'm at the top. It's incredible what a bit of confidence does for you.
