Just amazing!
|
||||||||
6a | ★★ Macrocalma | Tenerife | ★★★ Classic | Mon 15th Apr 2019 | ||||
Best looking line here (hence crag named for it) but maybe not the best movement. Still lovely.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Resurrection Corner | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Sat 14th Jul 2018 | |||
What a line. Great jamming, takes thought the whole way
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Fluid / Epic Link Up | 30m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Wed 21st Jun 2023 | |||
A great combo of the two routes, engaging All the way
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Gladiator | 20m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Wed 11th Jul 2018 | |||
Its all there. Good jamming
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Plume | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 11th Jul 2018 | |||
Thin and scary, but wow what a place.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Rain Of Terror | 30m | Cape Raoul | ★★ Very Good | Tue 17th Jan 2023 | |||
Quite a nice opening pitch to the mega adventure. Might be easiest to continue all the way to the col.
We used the wide crack 4m right of the low anchor which is reasonable if you still have a #4 #3 #1 cams.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Jihad | 30m | Cape Raoul | ★★ Very Good | Tue 17th Jan 2023 | |||
Lovely pitch with silver good laybacking and A few nice rests. Might be easier than the first
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Sacred Site | 30m, 2 | Fortescue Bay | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 15th Jan 2023 | |||
Lovely moves and what a position
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Digitalis | 62m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Tue 24th Jan 2023 | |||
Lovely route with some thoughtful bits. Just one slimy jam higher up when you're running out of gear we challenging. Happily finished up on the jugs out left
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ I'm A Little Dinosaur | 25m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Fri 8th Apr 2022 | |||
Not bad climbing in a lovely little space. But nothing to write home about really.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ I'm A Little Asteroid | 25m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Fri 8th Apr 2022 | |||
Not bad climbing in a lovely little space. But nothing to write home about really.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ King Rat | 20m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 16th Apr 2022 | |||
Lovely steep crack which mostly goes on jugs. Good stuff
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Golden Fleece | 35m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Thu 8th Apr 2021 | |||
More commiting than expected, but lovley moves
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Howling Wolf | 28m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sun 16th Apr 2023 | |||
Classy for the most part. Top kinda peters out, and the crux lower down is great, but above gear.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Scorpion | 30m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 23rd Apr 2022 | |||
Bit of an epic to end the trip. I didnt extend gear in the back of the chimney well enough, created a drag monster, and had to make it into two pitches, but bringing jemma up to clean the bottom. Needless to say this took a while, and wasnt ideal, but an excellent adventure and what a spot to finish a trip.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Voodoo | 65m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Fri 15th Apr 2022 | |||
Technical and thoughtful at the grade. Supprisingly
I didnt love the upper crack, too chossy, but the lower section was excellent.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Entertainer | 20m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Wed 13th Apr 2022 | |||
Great line and a bit intense to get through the jug roof, but theres plenty of gear and plenty of rests.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Simpleton | 85m, 2 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★ Very Good | Tue 3rd Oct 2023 | |||
great line, but surprisingly little actual crack. The main pitch was a good lead by Gem, quite insecure.
I was all psyched for an intense and wild traverse on the second, but found nothing really harder than 15, bit of a let down.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Tokyo Connection | 45m | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★ Very Good | Thu 5th Oct 2023 | |||
A few intense moments leading the second pitch. Nothing hard really, but its quite heady for the grade
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ On Both Sides of the Glass Direct | 60m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 27th Feb 2021 | |||
A hell of a climb, and the description here on the crag is better than the guidebook.
First pitch is very intense for the grade, but nice, and the second powerful but almost sport bolted.
Great moves and atmosphere.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Gold Star | 58m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 20th May 2018 | |||
First pitch is a great cruise, but be careful on the start of the second. A nasty run-out or a lot of faffing are needed to get established above. From there its lovely.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Amen Corner | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Thu 28th Oct 2021 | |||
Some great climbing and engaging all the way. Could do with some gardening though.

18 | ★ Sparrow | 18m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 2nd Jan 2019 | |||
goes on carrots really, didnt place any gear
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Reincarnation | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 17th Oct 2021 | |||
Really enjoyed this, interesting moves all the way leading to a spicy traverse. Why does the guide not give it stars?
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ R.S. | 45m | Watagans | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 20th Nov 2016 | |||
Epic! How does this not get 3 stars? Great Laybacking with solid jams to place gear. Sustained and hard for the grade, great position, searing line. Only route I've done in the watagans which would get 3 stars in the blueies.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Apple Arete | 27m, 3 | Watagans | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Jul 2021 | |||
Both powerful and technical. Nice movement on this one, bit stiff for the grade, but no problem
|
||||||||
18 | Colourfast | 14m, 2 | Watagans | ★ Good | Thu 8th Jul 2021 | |||
A lesser finish, but it did first appear the obvious line
|

HVS 5a E1 5a | ★★ The Spook | 35m | Swanage | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Jul 2019 | |||
Led the second pitch, wish i led the first.
|
||||||||
VS 5a VS 5a | ★★ Cheetah | Wintour's Leap | ★ Good | Mon 22nd Jul 2019 | ||||
In drizzle the first pitch was hell. Muddy, slippery and uninspiring. The second, however has lovely moves on solid rock, can be runout, but its all there.
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Dragonfly | Wintour's Leap | ★★ Very Good | Fri 19th Jul 2019 | ||||
Follows obvious corner cracks. Could do with some cleaning, and there is actually less gear than you expect. Second pitch was lovely.
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Sinew | Wynd cliff | ★★★ Classic | Sun 26th Jul 2020 | ||||
Great line and consistently interesting
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Spider's Web | 46m | The Dewerstone | ★★★ Classic | Wed 27th May 2020 | |||
This will test your route reading skills. Hard and technical for the grade, and difficult but rewarding traversing up an unlikely line.
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Climbers' Club Direct | 50m | The Dewerstone | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 27th May 2020 | |||
Great crack, requires lots of jam skills and a good head.
|
||||||||
VS 5a VS 5a | ★ Tensor 2 | Swanage | ★ Good | Sat 13th Jul 2019 | ||||
Lovely warmup, best as one pitch
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Red Rose Speedway | Symonds Yat | ★★★ Classic | Thu 27th Jun 2019 | ||||
Lovely climb that takes some thought but its all there. Gear is all bomber.
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ The Russian | Symonds Yat | ★ Good | Thu 27th Jun 2019 | ||||
Some nice moves, but very sketchy gear didnt inspire confidence as a warmuo
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ The Bitter Battle Tears | 26m | Shorn cliff | ★ Good | Sun 16th Sep 2018 | |||
Generic, but quite long and decent. Good warmup
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Avalanche Wall | 12m | Curbar Edge | ★★★ Classic | Thu 21st Feb 2019 | |||
More difficult and pumpy than it looks, but nice moves and a bit of balance make a nice route
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Maupassant | 10m | Curbar Edge | ★★★ Classic | Thu 21st Feb 2019 | |||
Very nice and three dimensional, felt like it was going to be hard, but just when you need it, something is there
|
||||||||
VS 5a VS 5a | ★ Grey Face | 8m | Curbar Edge | ★ Good | Fri 22nd Feb 2019 | |||
Short, but decent. flaring crack requires more effort and care in gear than expected
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Three Pebble Slab | 12m | Froggatt Edge | ★ Good | Sat 23rd Feb 2019 | |||
I knew i didnt like unprotected slab. why did i do this?Unsure how it is a top50?
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Valkyrie | 20m | Froggatt Edge | ★★★ Classic | Sat 23rd Feb 2019 | |||
Strenous then heartracing. This was harder and more commiting than expected. But quite an adventure, and probably the best location on the crag
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Bond Street | 22m | Millstone Edge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 17th Feb 2019 | |||
Beautiful climb! Great jamming, requires a bit of thought. Gear is no problem.
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Brink of Solarity | 36m | Other Avon Crags | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Jun 2020 | |||
Nice, chill slab crack

Slightly more insecure slab crack.

HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Diagonal | 250m | Llanberis Valley Area | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Aug 2019 | |||
Hard on the head, final pitch is very run out, but it goes
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ Kipling Groove | 52m | Langdale | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 23rd Jul 2020 | |||
Mega. So mega. You'd think it was in the first pitch but no. The second is awesome and a hard climb to read
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Knights Move | 16m | Burbage Valley | ★★ Very Good | Tue 29th Oct 2019 | |||
Nice little slab with good enough gear and a few technical moves
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★★ The Right Unconquerable | 17m | Stanage | ★★★ Classic | Mon 12th Nov 2018 | |||
Nice route! No move was particularly hard, but it gets a little sustained. The movement around the bulges is top class.
|
||||||||
HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★ The Little Unconquerable | 12m | Stanage | ★★ Very Good | Tue 29th Oct 2019 | |||
Nice mirco route. Can suss everything out from the ground before you go

HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Legolas | 12m | Goblin Combe | ★★ Very Good | Sun 7th Jul 2019 | |||
Harder than it looks, but nice well protected crack

Airy as hell and frankly a bit greasy. But you're here for the spot not the moves

Another guided route for the students

18 | ★★ TZ | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 22nd Jun 2018 | |||
Why is this underrated? Really nice climbing, a classic of the grade. Look for the large marking TZDS. There is another marking for tz at some chossy boulder lower and 10m to the left

Far far too cold for this rubbish. The climb was lovely actually, and would have been real quality if i could feel my fingers or toes.

You need all your big gear here. The only real pro is cams from 1-5. I ran out, shat my pants back climbed to retrieve gear (twice). All round shit show. Harder, scarier and chossier than jaws.

Found it really tough actually, the start is super thrutchy and blanker than you might hope. In the end i bridged the whole thing, but i doubt id do that on lead.
|

HVS 5a HVS 5a | ★★ Ra | Carn Barra-Pordenack | ★★ Very Good | Tue 23rd Jun 2020 | ||||
Really nice crack line, but much wetter and poorer rock than expected.

18 | ★★★ Flight of the Phoenix | 310m | Warrumbungles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 29th Jun 2021 | |||
Led the first two pitches, but not quick enough. At 1pm in winter we decided to bail instead of pushing on.
Route finding was hard and many friction moves were both intimidating and interesting, far less crack climbing than expected, but highly enjoyable, I'll be back to finish it.
Finding the start was slightly tricky, the anchor 40m up has faded a little and took some spotting. Route started in a v groove by a seat boulder. The crack system is discontinuous and vegetated, not what we expected to see from the bottom. But these things do not take away from the quality of the route once you're on it. Both the ogma gap and danu camp tracks are currently vegetated and could do with a bit of discrete pruning if you have the tools.
