V5 | ★ This Way Out | 3m | Jessicca's | ★★★ Classic | Wed 4th Feb 2015 | |||
Really enjoyable! Recommended!
P.S. I used a heel hook on the lower hold off towards the left. I'm assuming that it's okay and there are no special 'no feet'/'no heel hooks' rules.

V5 | ★★★ Anorexic | 4m | Killarney Heights | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 9th Jul 2015 | |||
Sent. But almost at the ultimate price of snapping my ankle in half. Learned the hard way that the heel hook if positioned as far forward for the most amount of reach may lock in place as you fall. Thank god for spotters. In the end it was the sideward toe hook/drop knee hybrid that did it. Got the match fully static with no swing by having my right foot still inside the mega bulge.

On the softer side of a V5. Very low on the start. Excellent!

V5 | ★★ 12 | 3m | Lindfield Rocks | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Jan 2015 | |||
Didn't think that I would get it. Sceptical of the tick feel like I maybe cheated, but can't really tell how. Started off semi seated/standing with my right hand on the broken hold and my left foot inside the small chalked slot - my left hand on sloper, heel hook around the corner followed by using both arrets all the way up to the top...

A couple of quick fangs for 15min after work.

A quick warmup and a warmdown lap. Quite easy for my bodytype.

And sent! However conditions were less than favourable. Damp holds all the way! Very good problem.

V5 | ★★ Right To Left - with Sam Clark | 6m | Black Cave | ★★★ Classic | Tue 2nd Jun 2015 | |||
It seems that my memory is not the best when it comes to climbing. Could hardly recall any of the developed beta. But managed to tick it. Awesome!

V5 | ★★ Ralph's Arete (sit start) | 4m | Lindfield Rocks | ★★★ Classic | Sun 1st Feb 2015 | |||
Very good and almost had it. But doesn't add a grade to the V4 by making it slightly harder by making it two moves longer. The difficulty of a boulder problem is judged by how hard the moves are- seldom on endurance.

A project! Nice!

V5 | ★★ Berlin Blockade | 3m | The Balkans | ★★ Very Good | Sat 10th Jan 2015 | |||
Will admit; read the map wrong and ended up here thinking its a warmup V1. Got up to the high heel hook and my hand on the intermidiate side crimper. Just don't have it in me to get to the solid hold higher.

V5 | ★ Out Of The Lions Jaw | 4m | East Killara | ★★ Very Good | Thu 12th Feb 2015 | |||
Excellent easy, yet satisfying climbing to a petrifyingly difficult topout. Need to do this with spotters and an extra mat. The sacrificial anvil shaped "widow maker" rock at the bottom of your potential fall-area is not a what we would call an ideal landing zone.

V5 | ★★ Going Goliath | 4m | East Killara | ★★ Very Good | Thu 12th Feb 2015 | |||
First dyno is super satisfying. Not sure about the second as soon as I went for it half way up the flight the sun beamed straight into my eyes and I completely missed the hold, and almost my mat. Scared me enough not to attempt again, will be back though,

V5 | ★ Fluxx (Back to the future) | RnR | Mon 9th Feb 2015 | |||||
The latter part of the traverse is tricky. Must put the heel hooks in perfect position; once your feet cut loose you will scrape the floor!

V5 | ★★★ Mr Smiley | 3m | Forestville | ★★★ Classic | Tue 24th Feb 2015 | |||
Stopped being fun today. Holds we're damp and no amount of chalk helped.

V5 | ★ Razorblade Alley (2) | 4m | Lindfield Rocks | Don't Bother | Sun 1st Feb 2015 | |||
As the french would put it "Oh my got'; eet eez a peaze of sheet" The very sharp kind. If you have the hands of steel you would think is far to easy or after an entire session of bouldering way too hard. Either way nothing to rave about. After trying the first two moves for a few minutes, I skipped them and easily topped out. Those two holds is really where the grade is at and not really worth it IMHO

V5 | ★★ No Name 1 - with Sam Clark | 5m | Jessicca's | ★★★ Classic | Mon 22nd Jun 2015 | |||
Ha! Almost flashed it. Again that bloody long shared throw at the end got me. This micro crag is like being stuck on an island with really rare Pokemon. Trying to catch them all with only a few crappy pokeballs and no way of getting more.

V5 | ★ Dislocation Station - with Sam Clark | 5m | Blues Point | Average | Thu 4th Jun 2015 | |||
Putrid Feet; really wrecks your shoes. Interesting how the rock can be so solid yet so crumbly and perishing at the same time. Not quite sure how to match on that ledge.

V5 | ★★★ Antiquity | 3m | White Rock Conservation Area | ★★ Very Good | Thu 13th Oct 2016 | |||
Cool problem. A couple of goes today before heading to the cave area. Almost topped out at my last attempt; make sure you brush the topout, it requires some friction

V5 | ★★ Can I Get A Witness | 3m | East Killara | Average | Sat 27th Sep 2014 | |||
I may be the only one here; but the problem had very little appeal to me. Although I'm very short and could potentially log the flight time from the lower section to the snout. Interested if the picture on here with the heel hook actually gets anyone up there. It really didn't work for me. Used the outer edge of my left foot instead. Oh, and talking of the snout, it is also very sharp.
