Oceania Australia Queensland South East Sunshine Coast Mt Ninderry Caves Area
22 ★★ Skeleton Coast Sport 17m ★★ Very Good Mon 31st Oct 2016
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

  
Oceania Australia Queensland South East Sunshine Coast Mt Ninderry Ocean Vista Area
26 25 ★★ Zazen Sport 22m, 9 ★★★ Classic Mon 24th Oct 2016
KAPOW! A sneaky afternoon session. Second Shot - after working the crux sequence on my first go to a complete automation - Excellent climb

  
Oceania Australia Queensland South East Sunshine Coast Mt Coolum
24 ★★ Has It Got a Chevy Motor? Sport 12m, 7 ★★ Very Good Tue 6th Sep 2016
Hmmm... Somehow this one was a ghost according to the crag. Must have forgotten to log something. Lets make this official

  
25 24 ★ Crazy Horny Sport 10m, 4 ★★★ Classic Tue 1st Mar 2016
Chucked 4 laps on this. Enjoyable bat hang, kneebar and tricky starting sequence. Did this during an other heavy thunderstorm -

  
25 24 ★ Horny Fuzz (linkup) Sport 11m Mon 10th Apr 2017
Done and dusted. In complete spooge none the less; humid and as tucked away from the breeze as baaaaaals today

  
26 ★★ Caught With a Horny Weapon (linkup) Sport 15m ★★ Very Good Mon 10th Apr 2017
Pow! My fingers are completely destroyed

  
28 27 ★★ Call of Duty Sport 25m, 16 ★★★ Mega Classic Tue 10th Jan 2017
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 Sport 15m, 9 ★★★ Mega Classic Wed 28th Dec 2016
A nice way to wrap up the year. Rock solid with NikoBeta™ 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

  
27 ★★★ Weapon of Choice Sport 15m, 9 ★★★ Mega Classic Mon 6th Mar 2017
Absolutely destroyed this climb today

  
26 ★★★ Wholly Calamity Sport 20m, 12 ★★★ Mega Classic Wed 7th Sep 2016
And sent.

  
26 ★★★ Screaming Insanity - with Tom Collins Sport 15m, 9 ★★★ Mega Classic Tue 19th Jul 2016
Sent, Sent, Sent, Sent, Sent, Seeeeeent - had it in the bag in the previous session but fell for no good reason. Glad I could redeem myself

  
29 28 ★★★ Iron Man Sport 20m, 11 ★★★ Classic Tue 6th Jun 2017
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 Mon 1st May 2017
First go today. Felt a little soft for a 28 but super classic it definitely is!

  
29 ★★★ A Kneebar Too Far Sport 12m, 6 ★★★ Classic Sun 26th Mar 2017
Today; It wasn't far enough to stop me

  
26 ★★ Three Men and A Ladder Sport 10m, 5 ★★★ Mega Classic Thu 19th Jan 2017
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

  
29 28 ★★ Guns For Show, Knives For A Pro (Linkup) Sport 15m, 10 ★★★ Classic Tue 14th Feb 2017
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...

  
25 ★★ Hung Like A Fruit Bat - with jjobrien Sport 8m, 5 ★★★ Classic Tue 26th Jul 2016
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

24 ★★★ Howler - with Tom Collins Sport 16m, 5 ★★★ Classic Thu 14th Jul 2016
A quick dog cleanup from last time. Good route. Jump on this

  
25 ★★★ Madder Sport 15m, 5 ★ Good Tue 20th Jun 2017
Oceania Australia New South Wales and ACT Central Tablelands Blue Mountains Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
22 ★★ Lady Grinning Soul Sport 25m, 7 ★★ Very Good Fri 20th Mar 2015
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.

23 ★★★ Lyptus Sport 23m, 8 ★★★ Mega Classic Thu 26th Nov 2015
Blew the on-sight on that long move. Make sure you meathook your left over it. It goes with relative ease then

23 ★★ Elastic Analysis Sport 12m, 5 ★★★ Classic Fri 23rd Jan 2015
Loved it!

  
23 ★★ Alien Signature Sport 19m ★★★ Mega Classic Thu 10th Dec 2015
One of the best 23's around. Do it! On second go because I made a stupid mistake near the top.

  
22 ★★ Room With a View Sport 15m ★★ Very Good Fri 23rd Jan 2015
Almost on sighted. Went for the uber long reach when I could have used an intermediate.

21 ★★ Je Baise Ma Frangine (Je Baise Ma Fraigne) Sport 12m ★★★ Classic Sat 3rd Jan 2015
Fantastic Climb. More than a little slimy in the heat

  
Oceania Australia New South Wales and ACT Sydney Metropolitan Royal National Park Rockford
22 21 ★★ Drug Baron Sport 8m, 4 ★★★ Classic Thu 5th Nov 2015
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.

  
20 ★ I Can Believe it's Not Legal Sport 7m ★★ Very Good Thu 5th Nov 2015
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.

23 ★★ Tracksuit Time Warp - with Brent Sport 12m ★★★ Classic Wed 8th Jul 2015
Super!

  
21 ★ Scrambletown Sport 10m, 4 ★★★ Classic Sat 11th Apr 2015
Hard to onsight. But a real pleasure to redpoint. Again 3 times; in order to set up top ropes for friends.

  
26 ★★★ Junkyard Dog Extension Sport 25m ★★★ Mega Classic Sat 18th Jul 2015
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.

 
25 24 ★★★ The Junkyard Dog - with Sam Sport 17m ★★★ Mega Classic Fri 24th Apr 2015
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.

  
23 ★★ Fifty Shades of Mt Druitt. Sport 25m ★★★ Mega Classic Sat 11th Apr 2015
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.

  
Oceania Australia New South Wales and ACT Sydney Metropolitan South West The Hide Away The Prow Wall
23 ★★ Booby Traps Sport 15m, 7 ★★★ Classic Thu 2nd Jul 2015
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

  
23 ★★ Ergonomical Boobies (Link Up) Sport 15m ★★ Very Good Tue 28th Jul 2015
Picks some of the best pieces of this wall and joins them together. Bring slung out draw for the traverse.

28 ★★★ Ghetto Superstar Sport 23m, 13 ★★★ Mega Classic Wed 19th Aug 2015
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.

22 ★ Gettin Wet - with Dominik S Sport 10m, 5 ★★ Very Good Sun 15th Feb 2015
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!

20 ★★ Gloucester Buckets Sport 12m, 5 ★★★ Classic Fri 14th Nov 2014
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!

Absolutely loved the move from the two finger pocket upwards. Fantastic.

24 ★ Surfboard Sport 15m, 4 ★★ Very Good Thu 9th Apr 2015
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)

  
21 22 ★★ Trickles Sport 10m, 4 ★★ Very Good Mon 10th Nov 2014
Second go to redeem myself!

24 ★★ Walking on Ceilings (Dancing on Ceilings) Sport 12m ★★★ Classic Fri 26th Jun 2015
Should have stars! Double toe hook start into a high heel hook into a undercling crimp and asymmetric throw. Mega!

  
Oceania Australia New South Wales and ACT Sydney Metropolitan Sutherland Bluebell
21 ★★ Welcome to the Body Shop Sport 12m, 5 ★★★ Classic Wed 24th Jun 2015
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!

20 ★★ Luv Handles - with Sam Clark Sport 12m, 5 ★★★ Classic Tue 14th Apr 2015
Still love this climb! x2.2 Because the 22 extension is really not worth doing. Seriously crumbly rock on a hollow ledge.

19 ★★ Ladder of Gloom Sport 12m, 4 ★★★ Classic Sat 8th Nov 2014
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.

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.

  
24 ★★ Ginger Meggs Sport 8m, 5 ★★★ Classic Sat 27th Dec 2014
Yeeeeeeeeah! If you like powerful short climbs it doesnt get any better than that. Fantastic!

23 ★★★ Roast Lobster Sport 12m ★★★ Mega Classic Thu 2nd Apr 2015
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!

  
21 ★★ Lobster Sport 8m, 6 ★★ Very Good Sat 20th Dec 2014
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.

  
Oceania Australia New South Wales and ACT Central Coast Joll's Bridge Lower cliffline
21 ★★ Vulgar Direct Sport 32m, 13 ★★★ Mega Classic Tue 19th May 2015
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.

  
21 ★★ The Climb that was Sport 18m, 7 ★★ Very Good Tue 19th May 2015
Damn; should have onsighted but once again poor footwork on nothing particularly difficult got me unstuck
