Short Sharp Loud Wall
16 15 La Mer - with Radka Sport 7m, 2 Good
The start is ideal for a tall person as my partner found out (she's not tall)

 
13 Victory Beers - with Radka Sport 7m, 2 Average
A good climb for the beginner leader.

 
Sun 5th Jul 2015 - Bangor West
17 Grandma's Wheelchair Direct - with UTS Sport 10m Good
A fund start out of the cave then an ascent of rails.

 
16 Grandma's Wheelchair - with UTS Sport 10m, 4 Average
This climb offers an interesting start and a so so send to the anchors

 
13 Whippersnapper - with UTS Sport 8m, 3 Average
Unfriendly start with an average ascent to the anchors. Did it in hiking shoes.

 
13 Zulu Trainer - with Gordon Sport 10m, 2 Good
Fun climb thanks to its edgy start on rails. some pockets to help you through the start and ending with some decent ledges.

 
17 The Whorl - with Patrick Loa Sport 10m, 3 Very Good
An amazing climb offering fun features, rails, scoops and juggy goodness. Great protection and awesome anchors in place!

14 Chicken Stuffing - with John Hollott Sport 8m Good
A short but great climb. I may have done a direct start as it was much harder than a 14. I'm guessing the 14 starts off to the left on the evident block. All in all a fun climb.

19 Into the Void - with Ranger Dave Sport 20m, 4 Very Good
Worth the star. Great route and as always with slab it makes you think. I'll be back for this one.

 
19 21 Frantic - with Matt Short Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
A stiff 19 but certainly not a 21. Really good climb with a crux that makes you think. Sadly I had to dog to figure out where the holds were. Once I figured out the crux move it was quite satisfying.

 
Mon 29th Dec 2014 - Mount Alexandra
Between the First Cave and the Vox Populi wall
19 Trollberg McDougall - with John Hollott Sport 16m Very Good
A very satisfying start requiring some good balance and reach.

Didn't finish as the route was wet at the top so bailed at the routes 3rd RB.

Quite run out between the 2nd and 3rd RB so made good use of the RB to the right on Trollberg between TM's 2nd RB and the ledge. The ledge itself is quite narrow and on an upward slope so if you fall before clipping into the 3rd RB you'll defiantly hit the deck. Try and use an extender if using RB on T to reduce the swing if you do fall.

20 Funky Moves - with Ranger Dave Sport 30m, 12 Very Good
didn't finish the climb sadly. A big jug exploded when i weighted it for a rock over move above the third bolt. This send awaits for another day.

16 Hole in the Wall - with Rinaldi Top rope 13m Good
Always a good climb as far as slab goes!

18 K3 Variant 1 - with Ranger Dave Top rope 8m Good
Barn door time! A great climb and a great challenge but one that offers a little barn dooring if you don't stay switched on!

 
18 K3 Variant 2 - with Ranger Dave Top rope 10m Very Good
Got it clean this time! This is a great 18 which offers various challenges the entire way! If you're climbing at this grade you'll be able to achieve it (if you don't slip) but you'll have to work for it.

 
13 Musical Flakes - with Ranger Dave Top rope 7m Good
Fun route but I use it to access the top of the boulder to set up the top ropes.

 
Sun 10th Aug 2014 - Mt Ku-ring-gai
Lost & Found Wall
17 Wing Commander - with Mandy Leung Sport 15m Average
Besides the crux this climb offers nothing of real interest. The first bolt is in a high position so make sure you're sure of your holds before committing.

 
18 Aerospace - with Mandy Leung Sport 16m Very Good
Talk about getting the heart racing! The crux really blows you away and makes you work for it. Great climb offering a solid challenge.

 
18 Dendrobium - with Mandy Leun Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
This climb really rates high in my books! Excellent, fun moves and the crux itself requires a bit of faith.

 
16 Lactose free - with Mandy Leung Sport 13m, 4 Average
The starts harder than the grade indicates. Started to the right to get on the climb.

 
Tue 5th Aug 2014 - Wahroonga
Browns Road Courtyard Area
18 The Cheerful Giver - with Ranger Dave Sport 5m Very Good
WOW! An amazing sports climb offering some thought provoking moves tagged along with a walk on the wild side. One of the better Sydney sports routes. Well bolted if you follow the true line of the route, otherwise watch out for a flip if you fall and have your right leg behind the rope.

18 20 Vril - with Radka Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Only made it to the overhang (third draw) but what an awesome climb to that point! Had to scrub the first major sloper hold as it was covered in salt residue but after that it was highly satisfying. The moves! The holds! I'll be back to tackle this one again!

18 Pox - with Radka Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
I didn't get pumped this time, probably because I remembered where lots of the key holds were located. Three times a charm, next time I'll do it clean. An amazing climb with good holds, some cool moves and makes you work for your send. One of the greater Sydney climbs.

12 Dudes Christmas Carol - with Lewis Sport 10m, 4 Average
Quite a bit of choss to be worn off through much needed traffic. Average climb but passing the final rail to get to the anchors is ok.

15 The Meaning Of Life - with Mandy Sport 11m, 4 Good
Loved the climb. Slab is a beautiful thing which goes underappreciated! Thought provoking and challenging. I didn't use the broken flake at foot level to get up which made it all the more interesting. Brilliant start by eliminating the flake.

 
17 Foundlings - with Mandy Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Sensational climb! Some amazing moves that require thought to go into them. Crag favourite so far!

 
18 Lichen A virgin Dog - with Mandy Sport 15m Good
VERY stiff for the grade! A great ledge halfway up rest out on.

Wagstaffe - Lobster Cave
21 Spider PIG (Loftys route) - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Due to developing bouldering crags for the past 12 months I've lost a lot of my climbing mojo. Excellent ledge and holds through the roof presenting ample room and opportunities for heel hooks, toe hooks, resting on straight arms and resting on calves. A little run out to the last clip before the anchor but if you fall you'll fall into space. Mark my words, I will come back and I will conquer this climb!

 
19 17 Left Hand Slab - with John Hollott Sport 13m, 5 Very Good
The crux is exceptionally amazing requiring trust in your toes, crimpers and balance. An amazing climb before, during and after the crux. Avoid tending right on your way to the first BR. Single RB lower off.

The Promised Land Middle Tier The Last Highball
Goliath And His Spotter - with Geoff Marshall Sport 8m, 6 Good
Great start and solid holds through the problem. Top it easy and open with no challenge to offer. The rest of the problem, well that's a different story being a highball.

 
The Boxer Girls Feet - with Geoff Marshall Sport 8m, 6 Good
A challenge for the feet at the beginning but smooth sailing after that. A highball that offers some commitment and trust in your shoes.

16 Practice Your Mantle Part 4 - with Dom Chan Top rope 10m Good
Always a fun climb, especially for the double knee jam. Look mum NO HANDS!

An amazing climb, and amazing roof, and amazing crux! Cant wait to do it all over again!

The Promised Land Middle Tier The Last Highball
Kats Crack On A Wing And A Prayer - with Ranger Dave Archer Sport 7m, 6 Good
Took the highball nice and slow considering that no one has ever climbed it before. Naturally the idea of a hold breaking off while on it is not a nice thought, even with Ranger Dave spotting me. Had some choss go from underneath my right thumb on a crucial hold which scared the living day lights out of me. All in all a really good highball that I believe is now choss free, trust me I tested all the holds and they're good as far as I'm concerned.

One word...PROJECT!

 
19 Mufasta - with Alex Sport 10m Very Good
An amazing climb with some brute strength required. Overhang, heel hooks, boulderery start solid reachy finish and a few decent rests through the climb. Well worth the stars!

20 Hernia - with Jake Sport 10m, 3 Very Good
Managed to do the entire climb today but had to rest on each draw due to pump factor. Utterly brilliant climb !

 
17 Space Trucken - with Jake Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Not hard for a 17, considering the entire crags a sandbag! Amazing moves that will take me back there again and again.

 
21 The Fixer - with Jake Griffits Sport 13m, 7 Good
Enjoyable climb unto the overhang which is where it gets trick. Gota dynov for the decent ledge above the last draw.

19 Ladder of Gloom - with Jeremie Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Took me awhile to find the reuired hold to get past the traverse which made it much easier and quite enjoyable. The crux of the climb was very balancy and required patience to get through. Great climb. Loved the crux!

Sport 60m Average
First pitch is a sandbag 18 around the first draw. Couldn't finish it. Second pitch is def not a 12! Run out on the traverse and thought provoking holds making it a 14 in my books. Third pitch will be done another time as we ran out of light.

West Face
17 18 Fingers - with Jennifer Evens Sport 12m, 5 Good
Not a 17, that's for sure. It runs in line with the entire grading system for Mt.K...sandbag! I would give it an 18 at least. Possibly because I could not find a much needed hold until AFTER i'd pumped out. Nice enough climb though once the flow was happening. had to use the left arete part way to get through it which is out of bounds. need to do it again to get the clean tick for lead.

16 New World Order Direct - with Mandy Leung Sport 18m Good
Excellent start but dont climb up and use the cave like Mandy did. Start direct, feels slightly like a boulder start (nice) and then easy climbing from there.

 
15 Slip & Slide - with Mandy Leung Sport 18m, 7 Very Good
Excellent bouldry start if you go direct. Well worth the climb simply for the start. Rest of the climb is easy and enjoyable slab.

 
18 Honey Pot - with Mandy Leung Sport 18m, 7 Average
Bloody difficult start but quite interesting moves after the third bolt. Quite a tall climb for the area of slab its located on. Some slopers, lots of foot work.

18 Saturday Night Fever - with Lucas Dobolot Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
The move after the mantle is a little difficult. had to dog on the draw to get past it. Other wise this climb is quite good!

 
18 El Alto - with Mandy Leung Sport 12m Good
DEF NOT AN 18! 19 is more appropriate. Dogged on the anchors.

 
17 Chacaltaya - with Mandy Leung Sport 20m, 8 Good

20 Spinning Blades of Steel (Eat My Spinning Blades Of Steel, Mother....er) - with Mandy Leung Sport 9m Very Good
This is the second time ive attempted this climb. The first time i dogged it on every draw (5). This time i dogged it on only 3 draws. Next time clean hopefully.

 
19 Alien Space Monsters - with Mandy Leung Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
A fun start if you do it lay back style. Hrd move from the flake to the main face. had to do on the sdraw here to get across. The slab/traverse was brilliant and a little run out. Great holds but dogged it about 1/3 of the final ascent. Small sloper hold well above the previous draw which is the clip in point. Will def give it another go.

Wards Hill Black Panther Wall
22 Gaucho - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 3 Good
Hard crimpy moves. Use your feet wisely and you'll finish the climb. The crux is after the third draw and worthy of the grade given to the climb.

 
17 Areptile - with John Hollott Sport 9m, 3 Average
Got it on the seoncd attempt. Much harder than the 17 given to it. I'd grade it a 19 at the best. Tricky finish and a hard move after the second draw. Nice climb and a little fingery.

Interesting and tricky crux. Fell on the crux.

Watch out for the crack up above before the 2nd bolt. If you smear and slip you'll be aure to break your fingers in the finger jam required!

Excellent climb! Ranger dDave says it all in his remarks! Brilliant!

Excellent climb, especially after the 2nd clip. Worth the effort!

V1 16 'Thar She Blows! - with Ranger Dave Top rope 13m Good
The crux is simply having the balls to do the problem. Good holds and a slightly committing move about 2 moves from the top out. Great, easy climb just don't do anything cocky up the top.

19 20 Lynn Hill (Lyn Hill) - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 6 Very Good

Suffragette wall
18 Freda Soul - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 3 Average
I'm not sure this is an 18. I'd be generous and give it a 20. The last move to the anchor is very tough and there's nothing but slopers at the top around the anchors. The start is rough on the fingers, nearlt tore them apart. I'll give it another go though, some interesting moves in it.

 
18 Faur Out - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 5 Good
Nice climb. Watch out for the angry ants nest at the top.

 
18 Du It - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Fantastic 18.

 
17 16 Freda Mind - with John Hollott Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Awesome climb all round. Made great use of the crack to the left. Pitty it didn't go all the way up.
