6a Normal Route Trad 200m Frey Mega Classic Fri 24th Mar 2017
Just amazing!

 
6a Macrocalma Trad 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 Trad 25m Frog Buttress Classic Sat 14th Jul 2018
What a line. Great jamming, takes thought the whole way

 
18 Fluid / Epic Link Up Trad 30m Frog Buttress Classic Wed 21st Jun 2023
A great combo of the two routes, engaging All the way

 
18 Gladiator Trad 20m Frog Buttress Classic Wed 11th Jul 2018
Its all there. Good jamming

 
18 Plume Trad 25m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Wed 11th Jul 2018
Thin and scary, but wow what a place.

 
18 Rain Of Terror Trad 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 Trad 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 Mixed trad 30m, 2 Fortescue Bay Mega Classic Sun 15th Jan 2023
Lovely moves and what a position

 
18 Digitalis Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 20m Arapiles Classic Sat 16th Apr 2022
Lovely steep crack which mostly goes on jugs. Good stuff

 
18 Golden Fleece Trad 35m Arapiles Very Good Thu 8th Apr 2021
More commiting than expected, but lovley moves

 
18 Howling Wolf Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Mixed trad 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 Trad 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 Mixed trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 30m Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 28th Oct 2021
Some great climbing and engaging all the way. Could do with some gardening though.

 
18 Curtain Call Trad 49m Blue Mountains Good Sat 17th May 2014
18 Sparrow Mixed trad 18m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Wed 2nd Jan 2019
goes on carrots really, didnt place any gear

 
18 Reincarnation Trad 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. Trad 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 Mixed trad 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 Mixed trad 14m, 2 Watagans Good Thu 8th Jul 2021
A lesser finish, but it did first appear the obvious line

 
18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 9th Jan 2016
HVS 5a E1 5a The Spook Trad 35m Swanage Very Good Sat 13th Jul 2019
Led the second pitch, wish i led the first.

 
VS 5a VS 5a Cheetah Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad Wynd cliff Classic Sun 26th Jul 2020
Great line and consistently interesting

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Spider's Web Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad Swanage Good Sat 13th Jul 2019
Lovely warmup, best as one pitch

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Red Rose Speedway Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 26m Shorn cliff Good Sun 16th Sep 2018
Generic, but quite long and decent. Good warmup

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Avalanche Wall Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 36m Other Avon Crags Very Good Mon 8th Jun 2020
Nice, chill slab crack

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Pickpocket Trad 23m Other Avon Crags Good Mon 8th Jun 2020
Slightly more insecure slab crack.

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a A Dream of White Horses (Dream of White Horses) Trad 150m Anglesey Mega Classic Fri 16th Aug 2019
I was dubious, I was wrong

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a King Bee Crack Trad 37m Anglesey Classic Thu 15th Aug 2019
really very nice

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Bruvers Trad 25m Anglesey Very Good Thu 15th Aug 2019
cruisy

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Diagonal Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Disaster area Trad 18m Goblin Combe Very Good Wed 3rd Jun 2020
Nice little finger crack, then nervy topout.

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

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Solstice Trad 26m Llanberis Valley Area Very Good Mon 3rd Aug 2020
Not much easier than fools gold, but it's all there.

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Vala Trad 28m The Dewerstone Good Tue 26th May 2020
Bit of a one move wonder. Nice, but inconsistent difficulty.

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Joyous Gard Trad 35m Pembroke Classic Wed 7th Mar 2018
Chill lovely

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a South West Diedre Trad Gower Peninsula Classic Sun 5th May 2019
Best route i did here. really nice line.

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Cyclops Trad 36m The Dewerstone Average Wed 27th May 2020
Hard to read and a bit contrived

 
18 Borderline 29 Trad 15m Frog Buttress Very Good Tue 27th Jun 2023
An awesome 3m, more for the atmosphere than anything

 
18 Elastic RURP Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 24th Jun 2023
Victory lap, lovely

 
18 Iron Mandible Trad 24m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Fri 13th Jul 2018
Finally came back for the clean lead. Delicate then powerful

 
18 The Rack Trad 13m Arapiles Classic Wed 7th Apr 2021
Nice, classic thin hands

 
18 Hyaena Trad 16m Arapiles Very Good Wed 20th Apr 2022
Amnesia onsight. A great line and a hard move or two of powerful jamming. Good stuff.

 
18 Skink Trad 110m Arapiles Classic Sun 11th Apr 2021
Had to pitch it as i ran out of draws. should be a 2pitch

 
18 The Eternity Trad 22m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Fri 29th Mar 2024
HVS 5a HVS 5a Tigers Don't Cry Trad 20m Shorn cliff Classic Sun 8th Sep 2019
Came back for the tick, chill this time

 
HVS 5a HVS 5a Tower Face Original Trad 26m Stanage Good Thu 30th Jul 2020
Bit of a wierd way to climb it, but i guess it's more sustained at the grade. Did it to clean

 
18 Rajah Trad 80m Ben Lomond Classic Mon 9th Jan 2023
Hands then fists for days! Just threw a rope down it

 
18 Jackal Trad 25m Arapiles Very Good Sun 16th Apr 2023
Was told not to lead it without big gear, would've been fine without anything bigger than a 3

 
6a Supermacro Trad Tenerife Very Good Mon 15th Apr 2019
Much harder than the other 6as, but nice finger crack

 
6a La Buzones Mixed trad 28m, 1 Tenerife Good Mon 15th Apr 2019
Nice chill line

 
18 Dave Mank's Electric Gorilla Trad 20m Frog Buttress Good Thu 14th Jul 2022
Bit of a one move wonder, but a cool line

 
18 Chocolate Watch Band Trad 17m Frog Buttress Very Good Wed 21st Jun 2023
18 XI Trad 30m Arapiles Average Tue 7th Apr 2015
18 Death Row Trad 45m Arapiles Classic Tue 13th Apr 2021
Cool moves and cool position

 
18 Fer De Lance Trad 25m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 11th Mar 2018
first half is rubbish but the corner crack is great

 
18 Lithium Trad 10m Point Perpendicular Mon 12th Dec 2022
Airy as hell and frankly a bit greasy. But you're here for the spot not the moves

 
18 Harlequin Trad 28m Freycinet National Park Very Good Fri 6th Jan 2023
A great climb, but the new shoes i came with rather ruined it

 
18 Rattler Mixed trad 25m, 2 Blue Mountains Good Thu 15th Dec 2022
Another guided route for the students

 
18 TZ Trad 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

 
E1 5a Renaissance Trad 20m Shorn cliff Good Sun 16th Sep 2018
nice few moves up the flowstone

 
HVS 5a Sorrell's Sorrow Trad 12m Curbar Edge Very Good Thu 21st Feb 2019
Was a bit of a challenge to gerry established, but much harder for the leader with small hands

 
HVS 5a Great North Road Trad 35m Millstone Edge Very Good Tue 19th Feb 2019
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.

 
HVS 5a Funny Bone Trad 15m Cheddar Average Sun 21st Oct 2018
VS 5a Axis Trad Carn Barra-Pordenack Good Tue 23rd Jun 2020
18 Claw — 3 attempts Trad 20m Arapiles Very Good Thu 13th Apr 2023
I can do the jamming, but that chimnney beats the hell out of me

 
18 Turkish Delight Trad 60m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 11th Mar 2018
can link first two pitches into one nice pitch. the following chimney looks rubbish, avoid it.

 
18 Montezuma Trad 30m Point Perpendicular Good Sat 23rd Jan 2021
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.

 
18 Fang Trad 25m Arapiles Mega Classic Wed 8th Apr 2015
HVS 5a Goliath's Groove Trad 22m Stanage Classic Tue 13th Nov 2018
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 Trad 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 Trad 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.
