Fri 16th Jun 2023 - Blue Mountains
The Overlook Section D
17 Hard Turds in Tin Hats - with maaddzzyy Sport 14m, 6
Accurate for the grade. The direct start is committing and you'll need a switched on spotter. Sus the holds and sequence out before you start. Once through the sequence and on top of the ledge, take a moment to breath and smile. Route appears run out between several bolts but the good holds are there, just need to find them. More traffic = more chalk, so will be easy to spot holds once crag is released. An excellent climb and well protected.

Be mindful the rope naturally falls and runs through the crack beneath the 5th bolt when being lowered.

 
16 Easy The Rapture of Being Alive - with Marty Middlebrook Sport 14m, 7 Mega Classic
Best climb I've done to date! Route is easy to read and well protected on quality rock. Nice bouldery start followed by perfect holds exactly where you need them. Will return to this crag simply for this climb! Good one for the kids on top rope.

The big pinch to the left was fun to use offering a great hold to move left to the bolt. The fun really came when climbing through the overhang to the anchors.

Good pockets on the slab however they sound a little hollow. Jovial mantel before the overhang gave me a run for my "foot work money". Great mantle and a fun trip around the nose to the lower offs at the back.

16 The Eiger Sanction - with Geoff Cooper Sport 12m, 6 Mega Classic
Best chimney climbing one could hope for. Managed to get out onto the face with grace rather than squeeze through the gap like a beached whale. Used the adjacent 17 lower offs by accident which made the climb even better as it gave me some air time when traversing over to them! Highly recommend this accidental finish. Simply a brilliant climb!

 
17 Happy Hogmanay - with Phuong Ho Sport 14m, 8 Classic
Start was balancy with a few good pockets and ledges before getting to the bones of the climb and finding out that the move to the final legde didn't agree with me. Looked left and found a more appealing variant. Toes on the iron stone ledges and use all the awaiting holds. Had to climb further to the right by one move before being able to traverse across to the anchors. Variant route=AWESOMNESS!
