Thu 7th Sep 2017 - Looking Glass Rock
5.4 East Ridge Sport 100m Mega Classic
2nd ascent within a few days, soloed the first pitch, then swapped leads for the 2nd and 3rd pitch.

I made a 3 min movie of the climb and rappel here:

20 the Italian Route Sport 20m Good
Had to pull on the 4th bolt. Can also get a small BD red (#0.1) in about 1m above the 4th bolt.

17 The Devils Tears Sport 45m, 16 Very Good
Repeat, enjoyed the 1st pitch far more second time around, really good. Didn't bother with the 2nd pitch this time.

17 First Born Sport 20m, 8 Good
Better for the rope to bring the second up and abseil off.

 
15 Parents in Pain Sport 20m, 6 Good
Nice moves up blunt arête. Better for the rope to bring up the second and abseil.

 
Sun 18th Jun 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Bald Head Long Routes
19 Weld Party Sport 80m, 45 Classic
Awesome. Repeat ascent, leading the opposite pitches from last time.

17 Moonlighting the Renovations Sport 35m Good
Good climb. Don't bring "diagonal" bolt plates, don't fit on some carrots. Awkward mantle over the lip on P1. P2 is a big arc, starting 5m left of belay but finishing right.

 
19 Year Long Winter Sport 18m Good

19 22 Bad Blood (Bad Blood – P1) Sport 45m, 17 Good
Sun 25th Dec 2016 - El Chalten
Paredon de los Condores
Opposite Hosteria Vertical lodge on rubbish rock Sport 150m, 33 Don't Bother
Probably the worst rock I've ever climbed on. Didn't know anything about the route, found the bolts and started climbing, looked about Aussie 18. Silly horizontal traverse for P5, very thin for feet and maybe worse for hands. P6 crux I had to pull on draws, then fortunately someone had left a sling attached to the 2nd bolt, then maybe the 5th bolt I had to use a sling for a foothold, too difficult for me!

 
Sat 17th Dec 2016 - El Chalten
La Nueva Escuelita
Main Wall Bolted 7 Sport 13m, 5 Average
Too difficult for me, surely there was more earth to stand on previosuly? The base must be lower, surely, but I know I'm a terrible crack climber! I used BD 0.75 cam just to get in the vicinity of the first bolt! :o)

14 How Much is That Doggie in the Window? Sport 27m, 6 Good
New bolt just below the lip of easy angled section?

 
Sun 1st Nov 2015 - Mt Ku-ring-gai
Moto Cross wall
18 Fossilized thought Sport 10m, 3 Average
BD #2 (yellow) reassuring for the bouldery/layback corner start.

The top bolt is surrounded by 5 scars of broken holds, presumably the grade 18 holds? And the grade 19 holds... and maybe 20 too ;o) the bolt worked well instead! ;o)

Get in that cave for an early rest

Funny featured rock, plenty of bolts, great exposure, good beginners lead intro to Point Perp

The Lighthouse Red Riding Hood Area
18 Hooray for Hippies Sport 28m Very Good
Mel's first Point Perp lead, wow, great exposure. Cold rock in the winter shade, much hand blowing between moves!

 
Sat 13th Jun 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Wet Feet Area
17 Wet Feet Sport 14m Good
Amusing line just above the water, love watching everyone's expressions, especially the 2nd who's probably at more risk of a dunking ;o) Actually climbed past the 4th bolt (couldn't get a good position to place the bolt plate) to a good comfortable stance level with the 4th bolt.

18 Stormin Norman (Stormin Normin) Sport 12m, 4 Good
Crux is 2/3 up, options left & right. Nice route, maybe a 17?

20 Truancy Officer Sport 15m, 4 Good
Soft for 20, I can't lead 20's but lead this! Everyone's first 20? Interesting iron stone cylinder thing at the crux.

Perfectly dry after a 30 min thunderstorm. Fun juggy climb.

Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Afghan/Girl in the Mirror wall
16 Sweet Seduction in a Magazine Sport 50m, 14 Very Good
13 FHs (maybe 14?) + 3 carrots on top. The crux at 1/3 height is a little trickier/thinner than EPIAL next door.

 
Sat 17th Jan 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Shock Wall/Fire Bug Mall
14 Baby Carrots Sport 35m, 10 Good
Nervy abseil and hanging belay! Pretty happy to get moving and back on the rock! ;o)

 
Sun 28th Sep 2014 - Point Perpendicular
Bayside Flotsam Area
18 Playful Penguins Sport 10m Good
A 10m route and I even managed a sit-down rest at the 1st bolt while figuring-out my next few moves! ;o) Fairly overhanging but big holds

 
Sun 27th Apr 2014 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
17 Monkey Girl Sport 23m Good
Struggled just to get off the ground! Went right a bit & then back left for the roof, nice moves.
