22 23 R The Seventh Pillar Left Hand Variant Mixed trad 46m, 1 Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Classic Wed 13th Jan 2010
Did this years ago thought the memory of the feeling on the runout is still very much alive.

 
22 Yodel up the Valley Trad 22m Frog Buttress Very Good Tue 27th Aug 2013
I would have never got on this one but damion said it was a good egg. Interesting climbing with a weird move to get into the peapod rest then bolt and rad face climbing to the top. Pretty easy but a touch bold toward the top.

 
22 Erg Direct Trad 25m Frog Buttress Classic Thu 20th Jan 2011
Did this a few years ago and it's mega. The best and hardest line I had done at frog at the time. The sliding fist jams near the top are to die for.

 
22 Child in Time Trad 25m Frog Buttress Classic Tue 27th Aug 2013
Gee I was working hard for this one. Thin sequence start then sustained thin hands for ever. I have really want to climb this for a while and it didn't disappoint.

 
22 Pole Dancer Mixed trad 40m, 12 Cape Raoul Mega Classic Fri 6th Jan 2012
14 hour day for one climb. Fully worth it. Stella.

 
22 Iron Curtain Trad 130m Bungonia Gorge Classic Sat 26th Jul 2014
Radical route and despite, it being the the easiest multi in the gorge its still no cake walk. The crux is in the first 8m then continues funky and interesting climbing on all the pitches. Recently cleaned so go give it a lap.

 
22 Glory Rodent Trad 20m Arapiles Very Good Sat 16th Sep 2023
Took me a couple up climbs to commit to the start, then just hang on.

 
22 ~21 Cecilia Mixed trad 25m, 4 Arapiles Very Good Tue 19th Sep 2023
I worked myself up expecting a solid lead, turns out it’s easy and a lot of fun. So much so I did two laps.

 
22 Scorpion Corner Trad 25m Arapiles Classic Sat 6th Jul 2013
Felt pretty easy even though a muffed the roof crux. Great gear and lower off's... Perfect. And then the rain started, time for beers.

 
22 The Second Coming Trad 57m Arapiles Mega Classic Mon 18th Sep 2023
One of the best routes I did this trip. Both pitch’s challenging my mind and skills. I lead both pitch and got a bit lost up top of the second.

 
22 Honeycomb Trad 30m Arapiles Very Good Fri 22nd Sep 2023
A great crack that should see more repeats. Don’t worry about the bees, they left us alone. Plugged a few C3’s in the narrow crack for the move then easy jugging to the top

 
22 Archimedes Principle P1 Trad 20m Victoria Range Very Good Tue 6th May 2014
Bit soft but a good fun pitch. The sideways start puts you closer to the ground then when you start. Fun Fun.

 
22 Psychodrama Trad 45m Blue Mountains Classic Fri 25th Sep 2015
What an awesome long adventure. I didn't mind the unprotected start just set a good over grip start for the rest of the route. With no chalk on the route some of the slab sequences could have gone either way. Piddo classic for sure.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Billy Whizz Trad 18m Lawrencefield Quarry Classic Tue 7th May 2013
I was apprehensive about climbing this rig but found it a lot easier then I thought it would be. Glad. Good gear the whole way with a hard move to reach the top.

 
E3 5c E3 5c Time For Tea Trad 20m Millstone Edge Mega Classic Tue 7th May 2013
The line we most worried about climbing. Wicked finger crack slab that was finger locking fun to a tricky move before the crack fused up and your faced with a 5 m traverse and run out to the top. Brilliant...

 
E2 5c E2 5c Regent Street Trad 22m Millstone Edge Classic Tue 30th Apr 2013
The classic of the area and more intimidating then difficult. The route of the day. Long finger locking fun. What's next??

 
E3 5c E2 5c Pull My Daisy Trad 40m Llanberis Valley Area Mega Classic Wed 1st May 2013
Wow this is amazballs.. Hard crack moves down low then once you reach the pipe in the wall the gear stops and the slab fun starts. The gear at the top is creative but not what I would call bomber. So glad to top out.

 
E1 5c E1 5c Fool's Gold Trad 20m Llanberis Valley Area Very Good Thu 2nd May 2013
Would be a great first E1 with the crux being short and well protected. Nice crack climbing.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Extraction (The Extractor) Trad 55m Tremadog Area Very Good Fri 3rd May 2013
One long and scary pitch. Climbs the cracks and groove to the left of the fang. Tricky mixed cracks to some hard moves out to a stance under the roof and even harder and more committing moves back to get on top of the fang. I finished up the fang wall with the same minimal gear trying not to be blown off the wall.

 
22 24 Nose Job Trad 30m Arapiles Good Fri 8th May 2015
The way we climbed this up comeing on Chris, with the gear in it 22...Max. Still a fun climb with some great holds and bomber gear.

 
22 Spasticus Autisticus Mixed trad 17m, 3 Arapiles Good Sat 16th Sep 2023
Harder than it looks from the ground but fun enough. The only no star route we did all trip

 
22 Blunt instrument/Burning spear P2 Link-Up (Blunt instrument linked into Burning spear p2) Mixed trad 35m, 8 Fortescue Bay Classic Tue 6th Jan 2015
The one long pitch... A big hold had recently broken off above the first bolt but I doubt it really changes the grade. A couple of interesting moves and a couple of cams takes you to the half way ledge and a rest before attacking the upper pitch. I found the top sequence harder and not as good as I thought it would be. Sadly its contrived and hard to stay off the top moves of Sacred Site.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Tom Thumb Trad 18m Peak District Limestone Good Mon 6th May 2013
Again on Paul's gear, he laced up the crux but it wasn't to hard. Steep jamming. I was worried about some of the wet spots but it doesn't effect the climb.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Bean Stalk Trad 18m Peak District Limestone Good Mon 6th May 2013
Not to hard just a two move wonder. An wee bit sandy and not as good as some of the other E2 around the crag but worth a lap if you have done everything else.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Five Finger Exercise Trad 22m Peak District Limestone Very Good Mon 6th May 2013
Way cool, lap up Paul's gear. Great Wall climbing with a few run outs and some gripping moves. The top underling flake was scary.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Suspense (Suspense (Lawrencefield)) Trad 20m Lawrencefield Quarry Classic Tue 7th May 2013
Flashed on Paul's gear, finding the bomber wire slot he was looking for to make the crux safe. After watch Paul battle I was put off and intimidated but the moves on the crux weren't to hard just committing. Hard man classic. Closer to E3???

 
E2 5c E2 5c Sterling Silver Trad 25m Llanberis Valley Area Good Thu 2nd May 2013
After watching Paul climb up this loose and scary line I was a little worried leading on his gear but most of it was bomber behind the loose flakes. A couple of hard moves at the top but the lower death flakes have been removed now so it's a lot more solid.

 
22 Yankee Go Home Trad 26m Frog Buttress Classic Fri 8th Jan 2016
My Onsight finished with my right hand on the jug at the end of the second crux... A massive flapper and a shot and a half later I got past and into my own personal crux in the steep V groove about. 5 days on and hitting the wall.

 
22 22 R Memorable Moves Trad 30m Point Perpendicular Classic Fri 18th Mar 2016
So glad to finally free this old dog. Scene of one of my biggest trad whipper of all time a few years ago. Felt fine today with solid moves and bomber gear.

 
E2 5c E2 5c Fern Hill Trad 18m Peak District Limestone Mega Classic Mon 6th May 2013
The climb I came here to do.... Fell off the start and hit the ground, but only lightly. Then plugged a bit more gear (6 placements in 2 metres) and then to the top. Stella route and some of the best grit I have been on. Super

 
22 Dien Bien Phu Mixed trad 25m, 6 Wolgan Valley Sun 19th Aug 2018
Past tick Another great slab, I vaguely remember some very thin holds

 
22 Gorgon Trad 170m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 18th Oct 2014
Been on the list for a couple of years so it was nice to tick it off during the festival. A good fun trad-venture route, mostly good gear the whole route though the couple of carrots are due for replacement. The shale band on pitch 2/3 is absolute choss and is a bit unnerving but the climbing is easy and gear is ok. I didn't break a hold on the whole climb but was climbing lightly.

Mainly grade 20 climbing on good rock with just a couple of hard/tricky moves on the crux pitch.

Get on it..

 
22 On Edge Mixed trad 28m, 5 Blue Mountains Classic Fri 25th Sep 2015
Classic MikL sandbag.

 
22 Contented Cows Trad 280m Blue Mountains Don't Bother Sun 16th Oct 2011
The top two pitch are exciting but not worth the effort.

 
22 25 Planet Earth Trad 65m Bungonia Gorge Good Sat 17th Mar 2012
Only the top two pitchs A great two pitch climb off big greenie, first pitch a little tricky, second pitch mega roof holds.

 
22 Popeye Trad 35m Victoria Range Very Good Thu 8th May 2014
After giving paul an extended belay I didn't find this to bad or to hard. Looked tricky on the onsight with minimal chalk on the holds but climb well.

 
HVS 5c Pedlar's Slab Trad 11m Stanage Very Good Wed 8th May 2013
Solo problem so why even bother tie in. Trick start then easy.

 
E1 5c Pedlar's Rib Trad 11m Stanage Good Wed 8th May 2013
I pushed the boat out a little bit to far on this one and gave myself a fright. Last solo of the day and pretty gripping, the only gear on the route is after the crux so solo it is.

 
22 Turning Of The Tide Mixed trad 30m, 8 Point Perpendicular Classic Sat 19th Mar 2016
Darn it!!!

I was climbing well, last climb of an awesome day, sun starting to set, got to the last move of the crux and messed up my hands and touched the draw to adjusted my weight.
