16 Getting Up - with Al Trad Coffs Harbour Good Sat 14th Jun 2014
16 Hot Tap - with UNEOAC Trad 8m Coffs Harbour Good Sat 24th Aug 2013
16 Caballero - with Benji Dutaillis Trad 10m Ebor Gorge Very Good Sat 14th Mar 2020
Love the off-width at the top. Keeps you thinking.

 
16 Twist - with Brendan Heywood, Richard Curtis, carol, Alex, Ili, Narelle Trad 15m Ebor Gorge Very Good Sun 26th Jul 2015
Great jamming, a very enjoyable route.

 
16 Svea - with Ili Mixed trad 10m, 3 Upper Gara Gorge Very Good Sat 24th Aug 2013
A tall persons 16 if you're topping out through the crack and not bailing out the arete.

 
16 Patient Scruff - with Ili Trad 30m Kaputar Good Sat 15th Jun 2013
Took a while to find chains out to the left, a bit loose in places.

 
16 Knight's Mare - with Ili Mixed trad 130m, 2 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 13th Oct 2013
Would climb this route again for the 4th pitch alone. A very adventurous climb. Would advise against linking 4th and 5th pitches unless you enjoy rope drag.

 
16 Xerxes - with Iliane Beuke Trad 20m Western Gara Gorge Classic Sun 24th Jul 2016
Wow! If this 20m thing wasn't at the bottom of a 100m granite slab accessed down a sketchy waterfall gully in the far flung reaches of Oxley Wild it would probably be only slightly less memorable...it was sick!

 
16 Dynamic Bureaucrat - with Alan Trad 28m Eastern Gara Gorge Good Mon 21st Oct 2013
Interesting climb, but still a bit of loose stuff to be found here.

 
16 P's and Q's - with Richard Trad 75m Eastern Gara Gorge Good Sat 31st May 2014
Only did the second pitch

 
16 Nicomodes - with Iliane Beuke Trad 65m Western Gara Gorge Sun 24th Jul 2016
Well we found the first pitch fine, a filthy enjoyable line! From the grassy belay ledge at the top of the first the second and third pitches didn't appear to exist, no cracks in sight, just slab. If I'd paid closer attention to the first ascentionists the lack of pro wouldn't have surprised me. Perhaps a good line to add to the route description would be something like 'stupidly/excitingly run-out'... We 'bailed' up the more lenient slab to the right, putting in two alternate pitches along the way.

 
16 Chicken Wing to Bomb Town - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m Upper Gara Gorge Good Fri 25th Sep 2020
Not quite as 'classic' as we were expecting but still good fun. Even got to use the homemade BBB's (Bloody Big Bro's).

 
16 Rasberry shortcake - with Brendan Heywood Trad 6m Ebor Gorge Average Sun 19th Jul 2020
Stick to the face on lead. Maybe worth getting on once you've done everything else..

 
16 Thinner inner - with Brendan Heywood, Dr. Phil Trad 12m Ebor Gorge Very Good Sun 19th Jul 2020
16 Stonkey Kong - with Brendan Heywood, Simon Porter Trad 15m Ebor Gorge Classic Thu 3rd Feb 2022
The top section felt like I was throwing choss at Simon but will clean up further. The bottom 2/3rds is really high quality jamming with options for the top out.

 
16 14 Action - with Scotty Trad 150m Dangars Gorge Classic Fri 10th May 2019
Really happy to finally get on this route. I think I first looked at Dangars 10 years ago and imagined what it would be like. Well, it was great and certainly delivered. Really good clean climbing in parts (particularly on P1-P3), but plenty of loose blocks (P3-P5), and a few chossy teetering towers here and there and we even a couple of passing showers thrown in the mix to keep us on our toes. Pretty good wire placements throughout despite the routes reputation, need to be careful with cam placements though this rock spits them out pretty easily. Probably a few sections that warranted a stiffer grade (16-17), but I guess that the nature of a choose your own adventure, slightly wandering route. Linked P1 & P2, seconded P3, linked P4 & P5. Climbed on twin 60’s. Good times

 
16 Eat The Meat - with Al Mixed trad 10m, 2 Coffs Harbour Good Sat 14th Jun 2014
16 Squelch The Magic Dragon - with Brendan Heywood Trad 15m Ebor Gorge Good Mon 4th Jun 2018
A climb with a view...except that you're facing the wrong way. Likely pretty wet most of the year but is currently dry and was well worth the extra farmers friends.

 
16 The Moai Escape (The Moai Eascape.) - with Skip and Ili Trad 60m Fortescue Bay Good Sun 8th Feb 2015
Seconded Skip up the bottom pitch and jugged up the second to belay the others. Fun climbing in its own right, despite the proximity to the Moai.

 
16 Hope - with Mark, Alex and Ili Trad 25m Upper Gara Gorge Good Sun 10th Feb 2013
Love the techy start.

 
16 Half Mast Trad 10m Diamond Head Classic Sat 10th Oct 2020
A really beaut line in a fantastic setting.

 
16 Reunion Alternate Finish - with UNEOAC Trad 20m Upper Gara Gorge Very Good Sun 13th Mar 2016
A bit of everything in this route.

 
16 Sunshine in a dress - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m Ebor Gorge Good Fri 14th Jan 2022
An engaging experience. I loved the helix hug deep in the crack around the back of the pillars. Short but special.

 
16 Crooked Vision - with Brendan Heywood Trad 15m Ebor Gorge Good Sat 6th May 2017
The grade made far more sense once we realised that the bridge was in! Spent 4 or 5 attempts at working the direct line (without the bridge) which will go at low 20's. Smaller gear needed for the start.
