V5 | ★★★ Wish You Were Here — 7 attempts - with Hyakatan | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Working the second half, every attempt pulled on from the big horn. Finally linked it from there on the last attempt. Beta: same as last time, except once you have one hand on the jug past the sloper, get a really high right heel matching your right hand. Use that to match the jug, moving the left hand to the far left bit. Then rock up to the right using the heel and the next few sidepulls. From there you can wedge your hip in and fully recover. Remaining moves are easy, just scary to commit to (for me at least).

V7 | ★★★ Rocknasium — 12 attempts | 4m | ||||
Ditched some of the previous beta, too hard to get the feet out of the toe hook. Used the feet out left instead, was able to set up for the dyno and give it some good attempts. Not too close but at least able to generate force towards the right. Progress.

V2 | ★ 6 - with Hyakatan | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Went a bit higher than is marked on the topo here and topped out over on the right. Felt like the easiest sequence to me though, so seems like this is the closest match to what I did.

Don't know what exactly counts as the top here, but I wasn't about to hands-free stand up on the narrow top section

V4 | ★★ Wall Crawler - with Hyakatan, aaron lam | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Worked a bit before and after trying Wish You Were Here. Got all the moves but the topout, just couldn't put it together.
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Up and Easy - with Hyakatan, aaron lam | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Warmup.
|
||||||
V5 | ★★★ Wish You Were Here - with Hyakatan, aaron lam | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Got all the moves but the last couple off the jug in two parts. Beta for the crux: both hands on the far left undercling, left straight to the far sidepull, right foot heel hook on the right side of the jug, then left foot heel hook opposing it. Then squeeze the two to maintain tension to match and keep bumping the hands up. Once the left is on the jug just campus the right up to match.

Good session. Got the first three moves or so, fairly solid.
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ Dead Calm — 5 attempts - with Hyakatan | 3m | ||||
Beta: left heel in on the outside to throw right hand up to the pocket. Then really stretch with awkward feet for the left hand sidepull jug.
Finished from partway in. Then fell off the topout on the send go. Then couldn't get back to high point. |

Might not have been done exactly as listed here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
|

Psyched myself out on the topout on second go.

Blocs | ||||||
V4 | ★ Warmup Warren — 6 attempts | 4m | ||||
Second hold felt so bad. Could get to it but couldn't really do anything from there. Others were using a left heel on the right side of the start hold but I couldn't make it work.
|
||||||
V10/11 | ★★★ Fools Gold — 7 attempts | 3m | ||||
Pulled on for the hell of it. Just barely managed to hold the start position.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Bigboy had his bigday — 4 attempts | 6m | ||||
Gave it a few goes but found the section out right really awkward.
|
||||||
V1 Hard | ★ Warmup Ecka | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Fun. Think I made it harder than it needed to be.
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Jug-a-thon | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice little warmup
|
||||||
V7 | ★★★ Rocknasium — 8 attempts | 4m | ||||
Got all the moves up to the crux. Used a toehook out right for the first move up left and the bump, then on the start hold to move the right hand up to the pinch. Could barely hang on after releasing the toehook, so couldn't go for the dyno at all.
|
||||||
Sun 18th Sep 2022 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Eastern Bloc | ||||||
V5 | ★★ Berlin Blockade - with Hyakatan | 3m | ||||
Couldn't figure out the right beta. Many options for the feet. Got to the sidepull a few times but never in a good position to pull through to the next hold.
|
||||||
Sun 18th Sep 2022 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Main Wall | ||||||
V6 V6 R | ★★★ Milo and Kofi | 6m | ||||
Gave it a couple goes. First move was easy but couldn't match. Tried a few different left hand positions, no conclusion on the best one for matching.
|

Sun 18th Sep 2022 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline Front and Centre | ||||||
V5 | ★★★ Sloper-Dan Milosevic - with Hyakatan | 5m | ||||
A bunch of attempts from the start, got very close. Best attempt got one hand on the top rail, but not in the best spot, and the left hand fired off.
|
||||||
Sat 6th Aug 2022 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline Front and Centre | ||||||
V5 | ★★★ Sloper-Dan Milosevic | 5m | ||||
Another session. Had some weird wrist stability issues latching the sloper for the first half of the session before trying different beta. Then the wrist was magically fine when switching back to the original beta. Got up to the crimp past the sloper from the ground and felt solid, but the left leg got in the way somehow going up to the next hold, and I was too tired to make any more proper attempts. Next time need to add in the intermediate before the final right hand.

Pyrmont Wall Jones Bay Wall | ||||||
V5 | ★ Drill Sergeant - with Hyakatan | |||||
Got all the moves up to the slopey sidepull in the right drill hole. Couldn't find a way to get enough weight on it to stand up and go for the big sidepull jug in the left drill hole.
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ The Long Reach - with Hyakatan | |||||
Gave it one go. Got a few moves and then got stood up on a poor foot which I didn't trust enough to make the big looking next move.

Pyrmont Wall Jones Bay Wall | ||||||
V2 | ★ Wrap up - with Hyakatan | ★ Good | ||||
V4 | ★★ Tango - with Hyakatan | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Beta: used the lower, slopy part of the right foothold. Rocked up via the right sidepull, used the vertical sidepull as an intermediate for the left hand, then bumped left hand to the top. The last bump was full span, so probably too reachy if you're shorter.
|
||||||
Tue 18th May 2021 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Corridor Boulders | ||||||
V5 | ★★ The Pincer Movement - with Hyakatan | 4m | ||||
Still real hard. Tried clamping the feet this time and got off the ground but no further.
Beta: used the big obvious foothold with the right foot, and clamped the right side of the left foot very close, against the left side of the arete. |
||||||
Tue 18th May 2021 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Far Side | ||||||
V5 | ★★ The Bright Side - with Hyakatan | 2m | ||||
Started out working this one. Got all the moves up to the slopey ramp, but couldn't find any good feet to move up to the left where the ramp gets a bit steeper.
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ The Bright Side Var - with Hyakatan | 2m | ||||
Switched to the variant finish after not having any luck on the original. Eventually managed the finish but didn't get it linked. Next time.
Beta: spanned the feet wide in the cave for the first move around the lip, stuck the right foot out wide to bump the left hand, then for the traverse right got the right foot wedged real good into the slot, and got a left toe hook onto something in the cave (don't know if that actually helps) then shuffled the hands over using every hold on the way. |

The Frontline Front and Centre | ||||||
V5 | ★★★ Sloper-Dan Milosevic - with Hyakatan | 5m | ||||
Good progress. Stuck the first couple moves up to the sloper, came close to next left hand bump.
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ Diplomatic Immunity - with Hyakatan | 3m | ||||
Not much progress. Didn't get anywhere near sticking the left hand move up to the bottom of the crack.
|
||||||
Tue 18th May 2021 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Eastern Bloc | ||||||
V1 | ★★ Eastern Bloc Arete - with Hyakatan | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Sun 4th Apr 2021 - East Killara | ||||||
The Promised Land Bottom Tier Did Someone Forget Heaven Pockets Of The Apostles | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Judbartzealot - with Hyakatan | 2m | ||||
Fun problem, if a bit sandy. Stuck all the moves except the topout (and maybe one more?). Topout probably isn't too bad but next time I should go up there and clean it first, as it was covered in twigs and dirt and stuff.
|
||||||
Sun 4th Apr 2021 - East Killara | ||||||
The Promised Land Middle Tier Genesis Right Wing Christianity | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Thy Mighty Right Hand - with Hyakatan | 4m | ||||
Had a few goes. Making it up to the titular right hand wasn't too bad, but I could only barely reach it, so I wasn't able to make it further. Next time perhaps just need to use what I've got, and shuffle it up a bit, or maybe go a bit more dynamically to get deeper in.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ The Light Yoke - with Hyakatan | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Memory's fuzzy but I think this was what I did. Can't remember if I flashed or it took a couple attempts...
|
||||||
V0 | Two Rights Make A Wrong - with Hyakatan | 2m | ||||
Not sure but I think it was this one. I just went up the obvious line.
|
||||||
Sat 16th Jan 2021 - Black Cave | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Dead Calm - with Hyakatan | 3m | ||||
Gave this one a few goes, possibly doable. Current beta: left hand to juggy pocket, left heel hook on the far spot, right hand to small rail, both feet toe hook start hold, match with left hand. Could possibly cut out a few of those moves and go into the toe hooks earlier, might be easier. From here need to figure out the feet and where exactly to put the left hand when going up to the two-finger pocket.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Cave Party - with Hyakatan | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Warmup for the day.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Lots of Seamen - with Hyakatan | 2m | ||||
Was able to get to the far left crimp, but couldn't move on from there. I think the beta is to pop the right foot up to a higher heel before going for the top jug, but I couldn't get enough weight onto the left foot to move the right. Sticking the move to the left crimp was really hard too.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Diving into Shallow Water - with Hyakatan | 2m | ||||
Had a few goes, couldn't quite make it up to the point where the topout begins. Need to find better feet or something. Probably doable, decided to move on and try other stuff instead.

The Frontline Frontline Right Hand Side | ||||||
V5 V5 R | ★★ Armistice Day | 5m | ||||
Tried a few times. Start felt hard at first but wasn't too bad once I figured out a way. Couldn't get the left foot up from there.
|
||||||
V4 | ★ Amnesty | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Missed out on the flash by slipping right at the start and touching the ground on my first go, then did it second go. Felt a little easy for the grade. Top is high and a bit scary but much easier than the lower section.
|
||||||
Sun 27th Sep 2020 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline Front and Centre | ||||||
V2 | ★★ Diplomatic Solution | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good fun. Probably didn't do the normal beta (didn't sit on the ledge). Got a heel hook out left, matched with the left hand, then went to the big ledge. Spent several attempts figuring out how to release the right hand. Eventually got the right knee out enough to slide back in round the other side in a sort-of kneebar. Straightforward from there.
|
||||||
Sun 27th Sep 2020 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Eastern Bloc | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Violent Crumble | 3m | ||||
Easy juggy fun under the roof. Tried the mantle a few times but couldn't get it. First with the left heel, nope. Then with the right. Got my whole calf on the top and scraped it up good but didn't have the beans to finish it up. Maybe just need to go into it with more speed.
|
||||||
Sun 27th Sep 2020 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Corridor Boulders | ||||||
V1 | ★ Bomb Shelter | 3m | ★ Good | |||
V5 | ★★ The Pincer Movement | 4m | ||||
What a cool line. Got like one move in, then was holding on way too hard with both hands to be able to release either hand for the next move. I think maybe next time I need to give up on trying to find a good enough right foot to layback to the left, and instead just clamp the feet on either side of the arete, staying more front-on.
|
||||||
V3 | ★ G? | 3m | ||||
Was able to get a few moves in. Right heel hook by the right hand (being careful not to disturb the lizard friend hanging out further right). Then pulled hard and went up with the left hand. Got to a crappy little crimp but couldn't get up to the jug above it.
|
||||||
Sun 27th Sep 2020 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Eastern Bloc | ||||||
V1 | ★★ Eastern Bloc Arete | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
First boulder of the day (and first outdoor boulder ever). Fun, not too hard. I think I missed one of the lower jugs on the right and made it harder than it needed to be.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Crewcut | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Last boulder of the day after circling back around before heading home. Felt harder than V1, though from looking at the topos I'm not entirely sure if this is what I actually did. Started right hand up high in the big pocket, left hand on the arete. Stepped up with the right foot into a lower pocket and from there threw the left hand all the way up to the crimp on the right of the arete near the top. Fun move. After that point I spent a bunch of attempts trying to get the feet sorted to match with the right hand and find some good handholds to top out with.
