The Watchtower Faces Pinnacle Face Tiptoe Ridge Area
5 Tiptoe Ridge - with Every man and his dog Trad 120m Average
Fun climb. Lots of pro. Sadly we copped a windy day, and were part of a large group doing it. As all large group assaults go, it took forever (enough time to get bored of it by the top of the second pitch). Easy enough to string all the last pitches together (from the pinnacle to the top), just expect plenty of rope drag and crap communication if the wind is up.

13 Horn Piece - with D Murphy, C Murphy Trad 33m Very Good
Great slabby start, and an interesting overhang to finish. Can be a little run out if your confidence overpowers your patience. Lots of small placements.

Fang Buttress and Surrounds Plaque
17 Maximus Trad 13m Good
Great route. Looks worse than it is, and certainly doesn't feel the grade. Average pro in places. Commit and follow the chalk.

 
14 Minimus Trad 12m Good
Fun little piece. Maybe a one move wonder, but it is a good mental puzzle.

Atridae Muldoon Area
13 Muldoon - with D & D Murphy, C Murphy, N Murphy Trad 42m Very Good
Scummed my way up the crux pitch. Great climb if you can commit. Turns out I couldnt..

Tiger Wall Area Tiger Wall Syrinx Area
10 Syrinx - with D Murphy Trad 170m Classic
Awesome route. Brilliant climbing and some gnarly exposure in the last few pitches. Highly recommended.

Bushranger Bluff Back Wall
15 Rubbery Under Arms - with N Murphy Trad 12m Very Good
Very fun (for a boulderer). Pumpy start with some important sequence depending on height. Jugfest to the top after the roof. Follow the chalk.

 
6 Cartridge Chimney - with C Murphy Trad 10m Good
Chimney is good fun. Some average pro placements - keep your eyes peeled, the good ones are there. Walk a few meters SW from the top for the good anchors.

 
6 Cobb & Co. - with C Murphy Trad 12m Good
Fun and very well protected - make your second work, place everything you have. Nifty (but otherwise purposeless) knee-bar in a section.

 
7 Trooper One - with D Murphy Trad 10m Good
Not bad at all. Don't overthink it. Lots of pro in all the right places, except for the belay where you might end up sitting in a puddle.

Bushranger Bluff Main Wall
7 Little Revolver Crack - with D Murphy Trad 20m Very Good
Great starter piece for lead. Millions of options for bomber pro of every size. Crux can be a little desperate. Take comfortable shoes for the longish walk down if your feet hurt.

 
Mon 23rd Sep 2013 - Arapiles
Declaration Crag Area Declaration Crag
2 Sunny Gully - with C Murphy Trad 12m Average
Meh. Good training for placing gear. Bouldery start to super easy sustained jugs. Think three dimensionally for feet. Great kids climb.

 
Mon 23rd Sep 2013 - Arapiles
Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Central Organ Pipes
11 Piccolo - with D Murphy Trad 33m Very Good
Great climb. Crux is a bit creepy on lead, but seconding no problem. Plenty of exposure on the climb down.
