19 | ★★★ Thor - with Rachael Brock | 30m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Sat 8th May 2021 | |||
Pretty sure I got the onsight of this years ago, but didn't log it. Call it an alzheimer's onsight
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Magical Mystery Tour - with Jacinda Boully, Raechelle | 34m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Mon 3rd May 2021 | |||
Thank god for double #4 & 5
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ When the Levee Breaks - with Andrew Durrer, Rachael Brock | 20m, 4 | Point Perpendicular | ★★ Very Good | Fri 5th Aug 2022 | |||
On this one, the wind caught the empty camera bag, and threw it off the edge.
Turns out it landed right on the edge of the ledge, just before Rach started climbing. 3 from 3 |
||||||||
19 | ★★ Quisling | 30m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Mon 14th Mar 2022 | |||
Little bit strenuous at the bulge. There’s a fixed nut still which I didn’t bother trying to remove
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Firedance | 15m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 13th Mar 2022 | |||
Thought it was a soft touch at 20, obviously it’s been downgraded since the guidebook
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Morfydd | 30m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sun 13th Mar 2022 | |||
Didnt expect to score so much steep jambing at Araps!
|
||||||||
19 Hard | ★★★ Tarantula - with Rachael Brock | 20m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Fri 14th Apr 2023 | |||
Bit tough for the grade, but at least it was dry
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Pine Crack - with Rachael Brock | 65m | Moonarie | ★★★ Classic | Fri 7th Apr 2023 | |||
Did the last pitch to the top, but probably best to bail after P2. Awesome route
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Icarus - with Rachael Brock | 60m | Moonarie | ★★★ Classic | Sun 9th Apr 2023 | |||
Awesome, but it’s a shame you’ve gotta do the flying buttress escape.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Downwind of Angels - with Rachael Brock | 40m | Moonarie | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 10th Apr 2023 | |||
Lives up to the hype. A 70m gets you down from the chains
|
||||||||
19 ~18 | ★★★ Blue-eyed Blonde - with Andrew Durrer, Rachael Brock | 25m | Freycinet National Park | ★★ Very Good | Tue 10th Jan 2023 | |||
Very fun - little bit of a one-move wonder, but love the granite slab crack
|
||||||||
19 Hard | ★★★ After the Goldrush | 70m | Freycinet National Park | ★★ Very Good | Sat 31st Dec 2022 | |||
That 2nd pitch is a bit of a surprise! Did pitch 1, realized party in front was too close, downclimbed pitch 1, then came back after lunch for the route.
Did the variant finish that breaks out left, including the foot traverse the whole way around… then climbed back because I realized rach wouldn’t want to do that. 10/10 would recommend for a little bit of exposure |
||||||||
19 | ★★ No Turn Unstoned | 45m, 1 | Freycinet National Park | ★★ Very Good | Sat 31st Dec 2022 | |||
Super spoogy around the crux area. Probably linked into something else at the top - but it’s really all the same on those top slabs. Finished up the pillar hand crack, because it’s the best feature on the wall
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ You Don't Look At the Mantelpiece When You Poke the Fire | 12m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Wed 14th Dec 2022 | |||
Nothin to write home about, but at least the gear is interesting (and bomber)
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Colosseum Corner - with Andrew Durrer | 78m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Thu 14th Sep 2023 | |||
First pitch earns the stars. The top was surprisingly not as dirty or vegetated as it looked, but the climbing was pretty mediocre.
Did in 2 pitches, Canadia led the first, I did the top. |
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Gemini | 51m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th Sep 2023 | |||
Just the first pitch. Finished up 2 bolts of arete
|
||||||||
19 | ★ The Magnificent Ulysses Butterfly | 15m | Cania Gorge | ★ Good | Jun 2020 | |||
Kinda crappy start, but nice face climbing around the thin crack. 3 starts if the top section were 30m long
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Age of Destruction | 40m | Cania Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Jun 2020 | |||
A good reminder of how sharp tight sandstone hand-jambs can be
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Remains of the Dale - with Julia Lloyd-Smith | 25m | Cania Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Mon 28th Jun 2021 | |||
Real fun jambing at the start, and fun moves through the bulge
|
||||||||
19 | Do it for her | Kiama | Average | Sat 12th Aug 2023 | ||||
Rach didn’t like the start of the 17, so I decided to go direct to avoid it… she didn’t like that either
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice | 30m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Sun 21st Aug 2022 | |||
Classy, chill crack climbing. Definitely done it before, but it needed logging here
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Llafnwod | 130m | Mount Buffalo | ★ Good | Sun 26th Dec 2021 | |||
Slipped off the traverse first go. All over after that. Never climbed such frictionless friction slab! Was even slipping on the scramble to the corner
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ The Silk Road - with Rachael Brock | 130m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 20th Jan 2024 | |||
Nice chill morning with rach, good to place gear again. Some sections of really good climbing, interrupted by ledges and dirty topouts. Worth it for p3
At 5’2” rach was on the lookout for the move that was “harder if you’re short”, but failed to find anything reachy 🤷🏻♂️ #6 is absolutely unnecessary, with the crack taking plenty of other gear at that point. Also only took 2 x #2 and it was fine (the p2 belay has options). Got to place my 4 a couple times though, which makes me happy |
||||||||
19 | ★★ Comeback Trail | 29m | Mount Buffalo | ★ Good | Mon 27th Dec 2021 | |||
Made an adventure out of this thing! Ended up being 3 pitches of awesome (although not the climb) Rapped down from above Wicked Solitaire and walked across (terrible idea), scrambled up and squeezed through a chimney to get to the tree (p1).
Did the corner as intended, but was not keen for the mossy, wet, and crumbly traverse. Decided that the finger crack going up and left looked WAY more fun. Doubt it’s a FA (it’s just so obvious), but was so full of loose and crumbly rock it’s obviously not been touched for many many years. 3 stars (probably about 22, but hard to tell given the loose rock and wetness) - out left and belayed on the ledge. Finished up the mossy crack, which was harder than it looked, but really topped off the adventure |
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Infinity - with Max Wasley | 40m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Mega Classic | May 2020 | |||
That offwidth start is hard. Save yourself some skin, go around!
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ El Dorado - with Dylan Glavas | 35m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th Mar 2023 | |||
Got entirely lost on the walk-in, leaving us with time for only one route. There some sick climbs here, but could really do with some more traffic to pound in that trail.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Pestilence - with Harrie Van de Linde | 20m, 2 | Arapiles | ★ Good | Thu 17th Mar 2022 | |||
Harrie’s lead. Everything else was wet, so had to do something
