22 23 R | ★★★ The Seventh Pillar Left Hand Variant | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 40m, 12 | Cape Raoul | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 6th Jan 2012 | |||
14 hour day for one climb.
Fully worth it.
Stella.

22 | ★★★ Iron Curtain | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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) | 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 | 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 | 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) | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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)) | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 25m, 6 | Wolgan Valley | Sun 19th Aug 2018 | ||||
Past tick
Another great slab, I vaguely remember some very thin holds
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Gorgon | 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 | 28m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Fri 25th Sep 2015 | |||
Classic MikL sandbag.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Contented Cows | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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. |
