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.
|
||||||
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.

Bouldering Seagull Rock | ||||||
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.
|
||||||
Thu 23rd Nov 2023 - Hallet Cove Bouldering | ||||||
Virtue Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★ Homage to the Lowball | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Bested me at the end of a big session on the beach. Will come back on a cooler day.
|
||||||
V4 ~V3 | ★ Impending Virtue | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
An overlooked high class line that deserves more traffic. Technical Overhung climbing 10cm off the ground.
|
||||||
Wed 18th Oct 2023 - The Big Green Frog | ||||||
V4 | Riddy Left | 4m | Average | |||
After a re-assessment this line feels quite a bit harder than the other 2 lines
|
||||||
Mon 17th Jul 2023 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Eden Central Mini Slave Boulder | ||||||
V4/5 | ★ Shadow Walk | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Got 3/4 of the way up and slipped on the smears. A fun line.
|
||||||
Mon 1st May 2023 - Prilep | ||||||
Baba Low Boulder 10B | ||||||
6A+ ~6B | Blur | |||||
Seemed much tougher than other 6As around.
|
||||||
Thu 9th Mar 2023 - The Big Green Frog | ||||||
V3 ~V3 | ★ Riddy Up | 3m | ★ Good | |||
In a bit of a panic I accidentally broke the beta. Once matched on the sloper at the lip I threw a high heel hook above my head and hauled up on it to the great hidden jug on the lip. Makes it considerably easier for those willing to put themselves into such a risky position.
|
||||||
V4 | ★ Frogger — 2 attempts | 3m | ||||
Managed to get off the ground this time, 2nd & 3rd move is very desperate and hard on the fingers.
|
||||||
Sat 4th Feb 2023 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Froggies Mankini Boulder | ||||||
V4 Hard | ★★ Hard On — 3 attempts | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A tough line and a satisfying one.
|
||||||
Fri 25th Nov 2022 - Granite Island | ||||||
Bouldering West Side Boulders Rift Boulder | ||||||
V4 Hard | ★★★ The Rift | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Found this one really tough, as it has not been repeated and I am not a proficient roof climber I will stick with V4. A very high quality line that has some grit due to wind blasting, but all holds are bomber.
|
||||||
Sun 16th Oct 2022 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Emerald City Maleficent Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Maleficent | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Absolute killer fridge compression climb. 3 pads covers the landing safely with 1 spotter. Keen to try the lower crack.

Very enjoyable traverse. High tension & friction.
|
||||||
Wed 21st Sep 2022 - Magic Wood | ||||||
Bach 18 | ||||||
6B | ★★ Ziggy Stardust | ★ Good | ||||
Seems there is a much harder variant going directly up on bad slopers, rather than going right to jugs.
|
||||||
Wed 21st Sep 2022 - Magic Wood | ||||||
Bach Supositorium | ||||||
6B | ★ Supositorium | 4m | Average | |||
Awkward start leads to nicer movement through the middle to a strange end through the gap.
|

|

Thu 1st Sep 2022 - Glen Osmond | ||||||
Wheal Watkins Mine | ||||||
V4 V4/5 | ★★ Wheal of Time | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
More a route than a boulder. Around 30 moves with the redpoint crux being a few moves from the end makes this one a heartbreaker.
|
||||||
Sun 21st Aug 2022 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South West Tweedledum | ||||||
V4 | ★★ I'm Late Sit Start - with Elena | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Some fun traversing on good holds. Felt about V3
|
||||||

Some good movement around the lip that adds a lot of value.

Wonderland South West Tweedledee | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Mad Hatters Tea Party - with Luke Dow | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really fun line, much easier in winter with more grip on the crimps.
|
||||||
Sun 19th Jun 2022 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Eden Central Goliath Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Earnest Croissant | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Once the beta was worked out it was actually quite cruisy
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ A Stone's Throw | 4m | ★ Good | |||
This must fit my body/ flexibility very well, found it quite easy, much to my spotter's displeasure who found it much harder.
|
||||||
V4 | Technique Nazi | 4m | ||||
This line has likely changed since the FA due to hold breakage. The line was also an eliminate originally. A separate non-eliminate line will also be made that goes at about V3.
|
||||||
Mon 18th Apr 2022 - Halls Gap Area | ||||||
Southern Wonderland Range Sundial Peak The Bleachers Slappers Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Slappers Arete | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Better heel hook tech and tension unlocked this one for me. Bring your smearing A game.

Sun 10th Apr 2022 - Salem | ||||||
The Altar | ||||||
V4 V3 | ★★ The Lord of Salem (low finish) - with Elena, pamelalansbury | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pure compression board climbing. Feels about V4, easier than the right line.
|
||||||
V4 | ★ Sacrifice - with Elena, pamelalansbury | 3m | ★ Good | |||
A proud send. Some powerful high tension moves on some interesting holds. A stiff 4
|
||||||
Sat 2nd Apr 2022 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Wonderland South West Tweedledee | ||||||
V4 | ★ Control | 5m | ||||
Was working this one when i found a decent crimp just right of the LH pocket for these lines, looks like it has recently opened up. You can now match hands there. Could change these lines here quite a bit.

|
||||||
Mon 21st Mar 2022 - Port Elliot | ||||||
Crockery Bay Main Wall | ||||||
V4 | FA ★★ Smuggling Through the Congo - with Elena, pamelalansbury | 8m | ||||
Great endurance line with a fun sit start that will go as sit starts for 'the seam' and 'senior pass' too for a higher value experience.
|
||||||
Sun 20th Mar 2022 - Port Elliot | ||||||
Crockery Bay Ice Cream Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★ Balance It Is | 3m | ||||
Climbed this face froma stand with LH in a small 2 finger pocket/crimp and RH on the arete. Small crimps further left didnt feel as easy to hold. Felt about V3
|
||||||
Sat 12th Mar 2022 - Port Elliot | ||||||
Rocky Bay Fountain Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Fontanata | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A clean and easier repeat has me a bit more convinced on the grade.
|
||||||

Thu 10th Feb 2022 - Mitcham Quarries | ||||||
Car Crash Quarry Sector 4 - Graffiti Wall | ||||||
V4 | ★ Traverse Right And Dyno / TRAD - with pamelalansbury | 6m | ★ Good | |||
Unsure if climbed before, if it has let me know!
A punchy high tension line finishing with fireworks that can make or break the whole thing!
|
||||||
Sun 30th Jan 2022 - Port Elliot | ||||||
Crockery Bay Wingspan & Ja Man Boulders | ||||||
V4 | ★ Na Man! | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Thought I was getting totally shut down on a V0 until I found out that the V0 headed up on the black slab section of the arete rather than slightly overhung part. It ended up going after a lot of 'Na Man this isnt a V0'. I have no clue if this direct approach has been sent previously but it was a lot of fun when it finally went.

Sun 19th Dec 2021 - Granite Island | ||||||
Bouldering Crush-tacean Boulders Golden Shower Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★ Death by 1000 Cuts (Golden Shower) | 4m | ||||

|
||||||

Good movement, powerful line, like most here.

|
||||||
Mon 11th Oct 2021 - Mitcham Quarries | ||||||
Car Crash Quarry Sector 4 - Graffiti Wall | ||||||
V4 | ★ The Nigel Rees Traverse | 20m | Average | |||
Got to the base of elephantitis, bloody long traverse and the graffiti makes it tricky to find feet!
|
||||||
Sun 8th Aug 2021 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
The Outpost Arms Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★ Call to Arms | 3m | ★ Good | |||

Whomping Willow Booty Boulder | ||||||
V4 V3 | ★★ Big D | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Second round on fresh hands, the grade feels about right. A couple of high tension moves to an easier top out.
|
||||||
Thu 29th Jul 2021 - The Enchanted Forest | ||||||
Trotters Bottom Whale Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Exploding Whale Extension | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A great pumpy extension that will make that final mantle that much more desperate.
|
||||||
V4 | ★ I'm Done Being Human, Wish I Was A Whale! (I wish I had a Whale) | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Starts off powerful, ends with some slopey endurance.
|
||||||
Thu 8th Jul 2021 - Norton Summit | ||||||
The Bachelor Pad | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Chocolate Aftertaste (high traverse) | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Slippery AF. Precise feet are key on this one or prepare to cut loose.
|
||||||
Sun 23rd May 2021 - Halls Gap Area | ||||||
Northern Wonderland Range Venus Baths Stoplight Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★★★ And Then There Was Red | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
As enjoyable to send as Diagonal Laneway but the line quality wasnt quite up to par with quite a bit of moss in the corner and top of boulder.

Fang Buttress and Surrounds Golden Streak Area Boulders Golden Streak Boulder | ||||||
V4 V3/4 | ★★ Three Moves to Glory - with Harry Judd | 3m | ★ Good | |||
This was surprusingly technical. I think V4 is on the money for difficulty.
|
||||||
Sat 20th Feb 2021 - Blackwood | ||||||
Paul's Roof | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Wolf Howl - with Eddy Pistorius | 3m | Average | |||
Cant give a star to a climb with holds glued back on. Most of these lines should not exist due to numerous holds being glued back on.
|
||||||
Sat 24th Oct 2020 - Port Elliot | ||||||
Crockery Bay Main Wall | ||||||
V4 | ★★ The Seam - with Harry Judd, Elena | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good line but felt closer to a V3. I followed the vertical seam right up using features on either side to make my way up to an easier top out.
|
||||||
Sun 27th Sep 2020 - Para Wirra | ||||||
South Parra River He Devils | ||||||
V4 | ★★ March Of The Flies - with Elena | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Dayum, tough climb. Strong moves with some spicy foot technique. Great line and would recommend it to someone looking for a technical V4 problem. Definitely the problem of the area.
|
||||||
Fri 31st Jul 2020 - Norton Summit | ||||||
The Bachelor Pad | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Shout - with Luke Dow | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Decent problem, would be great if it wasnt for the sharp fin you have to dynamically move to.

Tried a couple of times and pumped out on the last proper move! Need to build some enduro for the send. Nice problem none-the-less
|
||||||
Wed 3rd Jun 2020 - Hallet Cove Bouldering | ||||||

Finally after many attempts, a new beta was tried and it worked. A solid V4 problem, think it is hard for the area to be graded a V3.
|
||||||
Thu 21st May 2020 - Mount Barker Summit | ||||||

V4 V3 | ★★ Raging Boner | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||

|
||||||
Thu 21st May 2020 - Mount Barker Summit | ||||||
Northern End Isolation Boulder | ||||||
V4 V3 | ★★ Isolation | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Found a low LH on a bomber pinch hold that makes this already hard problem harder and adds to the enjoyment. The loose rail left was not used as I didn't really trust it. Instead a small positive edge at the bottom of a long edge was used. Overall a classic line on really good rock.
|
||||||
Sun 17th May 2020 - Para Wirra | ||||||
South Parra River Down By The River | ||||||
V4 | Tree of Life | 5m | Average | |||
Made an attempt. Fell when a hold gave way, decided it best to come back sometime and remove loose flakes as its current state is not safe.
|
||||||
Sun 3rd May 2020 - Para Wirra | ||||||
Devils Nose Boulders | ||||||
V4 | ★ Out Of Sight - with Elena | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Hard mantle problem almost got the better of me! Was not the most graceful send, but got up after a few grunts and wriggles.
|
||||||
Sun 29th Mar 2020 - Mount Barker Summit | ||||||
Little Arapiles | ||||||
V4 | ★★★ Sounds Like a Guinea Pig - with Elena | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Yes!! So much yes! I finally sent this insane problem, easily hardest climb I have sent to date.
|
||||||
Sun 22nd Mar 2020 - Rocky Paddock Camp Ground | ||||||
Sanskrit Boulder | ||||||
V4 V3 | ★★ Sanskrit Sutra - with Harry Judd, Elena | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Once i worked out the beta it seemed to be more like a V3. Seemed about the same difficulty as Noniocal Intelligence, could also just be my style of climb.
|
||||||
Sun 9th Feb 2020 - Reedy Creek | ||||||
Upper Falls | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Andy's Slab - with Ollie Dow | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Worked the first couple of moves at the end of the session and assessed the top out.
Seems do-able and well graded, will require better skin and possibly another 2-3 pads to make the fall safer. |
||||||
Sun 9th Feb 2020 - Reedy Creek | ||||||
The Gallery | ||||||
V4 | ★ Instantaneous Combustion - with Ollie Dow | 3m | Average | |||
Based on my ability and past experience I would have graded this a V3.
I don't believe this to be a classic or even a 1 star climb. The rock was crumbly and part of the flaky crimp was hollow and moving under weight. A rock also fell from being touched on the way up. This could be a 1-2 star climb if loose crumbly rock was scraped away.
