26 | ★★ Three Men and A Ladder | 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 | 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!

27 | ★★★ Weapon of Choice | 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 | 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

25 | ★★ Hung Like A Fruit Bat - with jjobrien | 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

One of the best 23's around. Do it! On second go because I made a stupid mistake near the top.

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 | 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 | 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.

19 | ★ Tiny Dancer | 8m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
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.

The Junkyard Cave | ||||||
26 | ★★★ Junkyard Dog Extension | 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.

Didn't think I could get to the pocket but the high left heel hook and the micro crimp off to the right brought the send home

Wakehurst Parkway Steep Side | ||||||
24 | ★★ Walking on Ceilings (Dancing on Ceilings) | 12m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Should have stars! Double toe hook start into a high heel hook into a undercling crimp and asymmetric throw. Mega!
|

Wed 24th Jun 2015 - Bluebell | ||||||
21 | ★★ Welcome to the Body Shop | 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 | ★★ Vulgar Direct | 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 | 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. | 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.

23 | ★★★ Roast Lobster | 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! |

22 | ★★ Lady Grinning Soul | 25m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
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!

21 | ★★ Lobster | 8m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
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.

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!
