Mon 22nd Apr 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South Hill Forest Capture The Flag | ||||||
V0 | Sneaky Pocket | 2m | Average | |||
Hard to find where to sit to get off the ground. Once I was on it was over in 2 moves.
|
||||||
V0- | ★ Slap & Tickle | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Mon 22nd Apr 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South Hill Forest Crucifix | ||||||
V1 | ★ Freddy Jams | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Saved by a great fist jam near the top. An enjoyable line that is much easier to jam then try and lay back!
|
||||||
Mon 22nd Apr 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South Hill Forest Bogan Boulder | ||||||
V0 | Thonged | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Travserse was more enjoyable. Great holds throughout

Lots of very good holds.
|
||||||
Mon 22nd Apr 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South Hill Forest The Dans | ||||||
VB | Right Hand Dan | 3m | Average | |||
A nice easy warm up
|
||||||
V2 ~V1 | ★ 1st Dan | 3m | Average | |||
This one was not quite as fun as the left lines and also felt a bit easier.
|
||||||
V1 ~V2 | ★ Dan In The Middle | 3m | ★ Good | |||
This one seemed to share the same hard move as the other left line with a spicy mantle to boot.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ 2nd Dan | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Quite an unassuming line on 1st inspection, but climbing it was enjoyable and rewarding.
|
||||||
Wed 27th Mar 2024 - Rocky Paddock Camp Ground | ||||||
Jake The Muss Boulder | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Even Flow — 3 attempts | 5m | ||||
Stella session today, unlocked the last 2 moves i couldnt do last session and sent in two overlapping parts. Need to dial the new beta, then go for the send!
|
||||||
Thu 21st Mar 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Emerald City Wall of Evils | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Def Totes Amazeballs — 3 attempts - with pamelalansbury | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A really great line with some sick jams and good moves! Loved the whole journey and keen to jump on it again.
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Crack Therapy | 4m | ||||
Got upside down, had a lot of fun but couldn't quite reach the good hold. I reckon it will go next session!
|
||||||
Thu 21st Mar 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Emerald City Blood Boulder | ||||||
V4 Easy | ★ There Will Be Blood | 1m | ★ Good | |||
Without the beta this would be much harder. First few goes were quite a challenge, but with some good beta from Pete's struggles it went quite well. Felt about V3 for me.
|
||||||
Thu 21st Mar 2024 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Emerald City Emerald Boulder | ||||||
V3 ~V2 | ★ Diamonds Are Dorothy's Best Friend | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Fun line that was higher than expected. On the easy side for the area, V2 in my opinion.
|
||||||
Fri 15th Mar 2024 - Rocky Paddock Camp Ground | ||||||
Chungus | ||||||
V0 | Chunky Monkey - with Elena, pamelalansbury | 3m | Average | |||
Not much going for this one. The two further right had a branch fort built over them, so they are currently unclimbable
|
||||||
Fri 15th Mar 2024 - Rocky Paddock Camp Ground | ||||||
Jake The Muss Boulder | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Even Flow — 2 attempts - with Elena, pamelalansbury | 5m | ||||
Worked the first moves into where it meets broken flow. Straight forward but will need to be dialled in before linking up. Going to be a power endurance suffer fest.
|
||||||
V6 Hard | ★ Broken Flow — 2 attempts - with Elena, pamelalansbury | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A great boulder with lots to offer. Powerful, Precise and Technical
This is in my opinion the hardest V6 I have sent to date. A crimpy test piece of the paddock.
|
||||||
Sat 2nd Mar 2024 - Rocky Paddock Camp Ground | ||||||
Jake The Muss Boulder | ||||||
V6 Hard | ★ Broken Flow — 3 attempts - with Elena | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Fell off the final hold on the send attempt and scored a flapper for my efforts! Felt dialled, just need that last 1% for the send. Brutal crimps from start to finish.
|
||||||
Mon 26th Feb 2024 - Rocky Paddock Camp Ground | ||||||
Jake The Muss Boulder | ||||||
V6 Hard | ★ Broken Flow — 3 attempts | 4m | ||||
Back on this boulder, fingers definitely need to be conditioned to this rock again.
Relearning the sequence and exploring different beta.
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ Sloper Traverse — 3 attempts | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A hard working line, like most on this boulder.
|
||||||
Mon 5th Feb 2024 - Blackwood | ||||||
Smoke Cave | ||||||
V4 ~V5 | ★★ Fighting Fire with Fire — 3 attempts | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Strong steep climbing. I think this is a bit harsh at V4.
|
||||||
V4 Easy | ★★ Burning Down the House - with Ross Paynter | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great fun, strong roof climbing.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ The Kids are Restless | 3m | Average | |||
Sun 21st Jan 2024 - Aldgate Super Crag | ||||||

|
||||||
Super Solid Right | Average | |||||
V0 | Super Solid | 3m | Average | |||
V1 | Undercling Left | 3m | Average | |||
V2 Hard | ★★ The Balance | ★ Good | ||||
Like this one. When you have an hour in the morning and mt barker summit is shut coz its too early, this place will do.
|
||||||
★ Sidepull This | 3m | Average | ||||
★ Not So Super | 3m | Average | ||||
V3 | ★ Supersonic | Average | ||||
Tried a few times, seemed like it might be a dyno?
|

★ Super Easy | 3m | Average | ||||
Wed 17th Jan 2024 - Mount Barker Summit | ||||||
Little Arapiles | ||||||
V6 | Coughing Fit [Link Up] | 12m | ||||
Got 1 finger onto the ledge of the dynamic move of Editors! Definitely getting more recovery at my rest position.
|
||||||
V5 Hard | ★★ Phlegm Cycle [Link Up] — 2 attempts | 10m | ★ Good | |||
This one feels as hard as Scarred for Life atm. Still cant finesse the move to Warm up Downclimb.
|
||||||
V5 Easy | ★★ Chief Editor [Link Up] | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
V6 | ★★ Scarred for Life [Link Up] — 2 attempts | 7m | ★ Good | |||
Super smooth both go's just didnt have enough foot pressure on final LF and slid off. 2nd go was buttery.
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ Scar Tissue | 3m | ★ Good | |||
V4 Easy | ★★ Another Bum Scraping Reverse (ABSR) | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Mon 8th Jan 2024 - Mount Barker Summit | ||||||

V0 | First Time Desire | 3m | Average | |||
Something to warm your body up on
|
||||||

Almost dropped the first throw, but cleaned up my act for the 2nd throw.
|

2 attempts, ran out of fingers on the final edges.

Twice

Sat 6th Jan 2024 - Glen Osmond | ||||||
Wheal Watkins Mine | ||||||
V5 Easy | ★★ Con lentitud pederosa | 2m | ★ Good | |||
A nice line through the middle, however some nicer holds alongside the ones specified in the description made it feel a bit easier. Definitely a grade harder than Wish and some good movement.
|
||||||
V5 Easy | ★ Possession Obsession | 9m | ★ Good | |||
A push at the end, some epic heel hooks saved the day here. Very much my style.
|
||||||
Sat 16th Dec 2023 - Glen Osmond | ||||||
Wheal Watkins Mine | ||||||
V2 | ★ Main Arete | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Good warm up.
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Wish You Were Here | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Felt much harder on my second go of this, fluked it with the flash last time! Once beta was remembered it went ok.
|
||||||
V3 | ★ The Upper Floor | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Nice warm up for Possession.
|
||||||
V2/3 Hard | ★ Jump & Run | 8m | ★ Good | |||
Bit of a novelty jump start found the reverse of Whealy easy to be quite a challenge. Grade was a feeling and may change on a fresh day
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Whealy Long | 8m | ★ Good | |||
A very enjoyable sustained V1 with a show stopping mantle to finish!
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Iron Cave Traverse | 6m | ★ Good | |||
Quite sustained with a heart breaker move towards the end if you dont have much in reserve.
|
||||||
V1 | Whealy Easy | 3m | Average | |||
A nice warm up line for the lower cave
|
||||||
V5 | Iron Maiden — 3 attempts | 5m | Average | |||
Chossy roof may clean up with time. Some tough thought provoking moves at the top that will need some work.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Hole in One | 4m | Average | |||
A big first move into the traverse make for an interesting variant in the cave.
|
||||||
Thu 7th Dec 2023 - Granite Island | ||||||
Bouldering Seagull Rock | ||||||
V0 ~V0 | Over and out | 2m | Average | |||
Was quite an easy one mover
|
||||||
V3 ~V2 | ★★ Calm down man | 2m | Average | |||
Not sure if this was a lip eliminate or a total eliminate following the exact beta outlined in the write up. I climbed it using other small crimps, which made it much easier, and couldnt really avoid matching the sidepull without being at the lip as it was only a few cm from the lip.
|
||||||
Fri 1st Dec 2023 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South West Tweedledee | ||||||
V5 Easy | ★★ Six Impossible Things | 3m | Average | |||
Seems quite easy for the grade. With a better beta this time it flowed quite well.
|
||||||
V6 | ★★ Mock Turtles Last Stand | 3m | ||||
All moves sorted other than the 'bust around' to big sidepull.
|
||||||

|
||||||
V4 ~V3 | ★ Impending Virtue | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
An overlooked high class line that deserves more traffic. Technical Overhung climbing 10cm off the ground.
|
||||||
Thu 23rd Nov 2023 - Hallet Cove Bouldering | ||||||
Beach Boulder | ||||||
V0 | ★ Mantle the Bow | 2m | ★ Good | |||
A slippery lower section for feet inspired some above the head heel hooking to take the desperation out of the initial move.
|
||||||
V0- | Rigging | 2m | ||||
Good warm up
|
||||||
V1 | Jam Donut | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Very nice jamming through the middle.

Harder than expected
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Sailor's Delight | 2m | ★ Good | |||
A quality mantle

||||||

A high quality line tarnished by surrounding boulders. will be more enjoyable for shorter climbers
|
||||||
Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Port Elliot | ||||||

An obvious line
|

||||||
V0+ | ★ The Two Step - with Elena | 3m | ★ Good | |||
A coordinated start to a relaxing finish.
|
||||||

The start move may be harder for short climbers unless you enjoy a good dyno.
|
||||||
Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Port Elliot | ||||||
Crockery Bay Main Wall | ||||||
V1 | ★ Audacious Albatross - with Elena | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Sent under the watchful eye of an Audacious Albatross who was no phased by me topping out right next to him.
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Licking the Rhino - with Elena | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Sent in reverse this time, a strong drop down onto the sloper rail.
|
||||||
Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Port Elliot | ||||||

|
||||||
Sun 12th Nov 2023 - Whitewater Creek | ||||||
Waterside Boulder | ||||||
V2 Hard | ★ Paul & Conrad | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Balancy problem, took some quick thinking not to peel off this.
|
||||||
V5 ~V4 | ★★ Waterslide Sit | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Very nice movement and quite aggressive on the fingers. Enjoyed the tension. The sit only felt like it added one grade. Started with LH sidepull and RH low sidepull.
|
||||||
V3 | ★ Waterslide | 1m | ★ Good | |||
Had some strange beta to top out, but it worked. Started standing on wide opposing side pulls.

|
||||||
V1 | ★ Blue Suede Flip Flops | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Enjoyable slab.
|
||||||
V2 ~V1 | ★★ Top Slip | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Another fun line, felt as hard as the one next to it. Cool slabby moves trusting your feet.
|
||||||
V2/3 ~V1 | ★ Black Flag | 4m | ★ Good | |||
A quality line, i couldnt find a V2 move though. Started and 2 downturned sidepulls and headed straight up nubbins in the break to big LH sidepulls at the top.
|
||||||
V2 ~V1 | ★ Minor Threat | 3m | ||||
Nice climb but felt a bit soft for the grade.
|
||||||
Thu 9th Nov 2023 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ||||||
The Gorge - Bouldering Dewsworld Bike Boulder | ||||||
V3 | ★ Table Tops - with Elena | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Stronger than the neighbouring mantle problem and a much easier mantle. Enjoyable climbing in the gorge.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Cutty - with Elena | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Fell first go overbalancing on the mantle move. Some funky tech here in the gorge, but i like it!
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Kicker - with Elena | 2m | Average | |||
Started with foot on sandwiched boulder below, not sure where else to put the feet to begin. Climbed well once standing.
|
||||||
