Interesting.

 
Sat 30th Jan 2016 - Dangars Gorge
The Dragons Belly
23 Middle Earth Traverse Extension - with Al, Alan Ezzy, Phil Deep water solo 30m Very Good
A really enjoyable section. The blocky stemming compression was the highlight. Can't wait to see if this traverse can go further still!

 
24 'Dis'-Location - with Al, Alan Ezzy, Phil Deep water solo 5m Very Good
A nice find by Al. He was all over It until a crucial foot went astray and turned a tight gaston into inspiration for the name of the climb.Under the rooflet I ended up heading left where Al went right. Scope for an alternate finish out right into M.E.T.ext. Nice and fingery with small feet.

 
21 Dyno Access Ramp - with Al, Alan Ezzy, Phil Deep water solo 3m Good
Good fun. An easy one to keep throwing yourself at to try and get to the block a little easier than Thor's Traverse.

 
Sat 5th Sep 2015 - Ebor Gorge
First Breakaway
22 Dead Calm - with Amy O'Toole Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
Really enjoyed this one. Techy feet and holds just when you need them.

 
Sat 29th Aug 2015 - Western Gara Gorge
The Sphinx
28 Ramesses I - with Alan Ezzy Sport Classic
A very cool route - and much cleaner now that Nick's climbed all over it Did all the moves but will need to milk the "rest" and undertake some endurance training to get through this clean.

 
Sat 25th Jul 2015 - Western Gara Gorge
The Sphinx
26 25/26 Hieroglyphs - with Alan Ezzy Sport Classic
Great route, and the only one to 'warm-up' on at The Sphynx. Had to work for the top section beta before getting the send.

 
Sun 19th Jul 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bowens Creek Main Wall Right
26 Chimp Chowder - with Alan Ezzy Sport 15m Classic
What an epic. Did all the moves, but waaaay too late in the day.

 
Sun 19th Jul 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bowens Creek Main Wall Centre
25 97% Fat-Free - with Alan Ezzy Sport 20m Classic
Awesome climb. Got to the chip in the roof below chains and was (disappointingly) too pumped to pull through to the glory jug finish Will be back for this one!

 
Sun 19th Jul 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bowens Creek Main Wall Left
25 Pretty Fly - with Alan Ezzy Sport 12m Good

Sun 21st Jun 2015 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Waihoo Streaked Wall
19 Mickey G's - with UNEOAC Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
A sustained and techy number.

 
22 King Brown - with UNEOAC Sport 15m, 6 Classic
Waihoo just keeps delivering. Had loads of fun on this climb and a few laughs to when I decided that a mantle was warranted before the crux....haha, that made things interesting. Awesome climbing.

 
Sun 21st Jun 2015 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Waihoo Hero Wall
18 Beached - with UNEOAC Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
An interesting route to get started on. Watch out for the deck, bro.

 
19 Super Grover - with UNEOAC Sport 18m, 6 Classic
A nice techy first section followed by a jug haul made this a route full of fun, and the group favourite for the wall.

 
22 The Pretender - with UNEOAC Sport 15m, 5 Mega Classic
Wow, what a sick climb! I weighted and then avoided the creaky honeycomb in the roof that others have mentioned, and was at the anchors on my first attempt but couldn't clip....don't you hate that. A shake out and a much smoother second attempt was warranted anyway for such a sick climb!

 
Sat 20th Jun 2015 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Fort Knox The Alcove
23 Sex And Drugs On The Rock And Roll - with UNEOAC Sport 15m, 7 Classic
Just classy really. Punchy from the start with pockets where you need them. Another favourite from the trip and a sure project for Timmy who swore his way up it.

 
Sat 7th Mar 2015 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central climbing areas Mad Woman's Breakfast Area
20 Mad Woman's Breakfast - with Match, Alan Ezzy Trad 10m Very Good
An absolute grovel-fest! Great fun though. The jams are solid, getting out from under the roof proved to be the crux. Gear in the wrong place here will result in a deck bro! Bring gloves or tape, and don't pre-place your gear unless you're happy to be bagged out by Carol

 
Sat 7th Mar 2015 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central climbing areas Shooting Star Block
26 Rodney’s Garibaldi Metwurst - with Alan Ezzy, Match Sport 10m, 4 Classic
A very cool and equally techy route. All the moves are there with some delicate feet placements to move through the two crux sections. And if none of it's working you can always cool off in the creek!

 
Fri 30th Jan 2015 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central climbing areas Illusion Buttress
19 Heavy Metal - with Mitch and Mark Sport 18m, 4 Good

Sat 7th Sep 2013 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central climbing areas Shooting Star Block
24 Sweet Surrender - with Alan, Thor, Carol Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Awesome pumpy route. Great picnic spot and swimming hole, combined with a southerly facing aspect makes this sector a no-brainer in warm weather.

 
Sun 25th Aug 2013 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Fort Knox The Alcove
21 Milk and Honey - with UNEOAC Sport 15m, 5 Classic
Great climb with plenty of variety, from dynos, to plenty of jugs, crimpers and an awkward mantle to boot.

Tough for little people

Central climbing areas Shooting Star Block
21 Low Flying Angel (Low flying Angle) - with Brendan Heywood, Alan Ezzy Sport 8m, 3 Good
Thought we'd boulder this one. We set up a landing zone over the gap, which we constructed out of nearby driftwood and then covered it in pads. Was sick! Our platform was then washed away during the next flood. Cool moves through the roof!

 
Sun 17th Feb 2013 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central climbing areas Illusion Buttress
20 Heavy Metal - Direct Start - with Mark and Carol Sport 18m, 4 Good

25 Allypop And The Ice-Man - with Alen Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
Sweet mixture of juggy/slopper throws, finishing with crimpy moves, gets a bit pumpy at the top.

 
Wed 25th Apr 2012 - Upper Gara Gorge
Downstream climbing areas The Sea Cliff
27 Bermuda Triangle - with Alan Sport 8m, 7 Classic
Need some more Weet-Bix for this one. Sea Cliff delivers again - Fantastic climbing

 
26 Se A Cabo / Happy Birthday Francis Sport 8m, 6 Classic
Even sweeeeter. Great moves, bit of everything and then it gets better. The extended top-out is icing on the cake.

 
25 Bullet with Butterfly Wings Sport 7m, 4 Classic
Sweeeeeet climb. Juggy, powerful right was the crux for me. A little overgrown, but Alan soon located all the holds.

 
Mon 16th Apr 2012 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Fort Knox Strong Room
21 Jeff's Live Round Sport 8m, 3 Good

Fri 16th Dec 2011 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Fort Knox Goodvibes Wall
23 Will of the Word Sport 15m, 5 Good
