17 19 R | ★★★ The Fear | 47m | North Head | ★★★ Classic | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Wild moves in an unbelievably exposed situation. Rock quality not bad but it was very sandy (almost every hold needed cleaning!). Many of the the old bolts are almost rusted through completely and the old peg on the final overhanging headwall is useless (good cam next to it though). Topping out was desperate, mainly due to rope drag - it would have been better to use double ropes.

17 | ★★ Checkmate | 85m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Fri 27th Feb 2004 | |||
If you were an aspiring grade 17 leader, this really would be checkmate to the mount. A good bold lead by dave.

17 | ★★★ Mari | 35m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Wed 25th Feb 2004 | |||
the pollished slick rounded layback is not nice but it gets better.

17 | ★ Cardiac Arete | 38m | Blue Mountains | Don't Bother | Sun 6th Jun 2004 | |||
could be OK, but no worth-while pro on upper pitch means you may as well forget your rope. extremely poor effort by FA.
