Blackheath Area Shipley Upper War Babies Wall | ||||||
20 | ★ Scramble Syndrome - with Adrian Kladnig | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Messed up the crux, but good climbing, mixture of holds, and an easy runout to anchors.

Bit goey at 20, feels like 21 if you do it right. Thin in the middle.

20 | ★ Old Blobby - with Adrian Kladnig | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Burly start which can be done moderately gracefully and quickly. Then very consistent moderate pump. Lovely to do the warmup I usually flash pump on clean and relaxed today

20 | ★★ Corrosion Castle - with Adrian Kladnig | 35m, 15 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Best climb here so far!! Great rebolt and fantastically worthwhile!
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Woodface Direct - with Adrian Kladnig | 35m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I think this was 30m to the anchors on the big ledge (as for Woodface, you can do the final 5m with a coupld more rings through the overhang to top out - looks cool.)I had a 64m rope and we abseiled with plenty to spare to the ground from 1st anchors. Ledge is a 90 degree edge, I wouldn't lower off the 1st pitch of this one. Bring second up and abseil. Good climbing though, and licheny blank-looking slab was nowhere near as blank or licheny as it looked. Good climbing!

Heist Wall | ||||||
20 | ★ Straight For The Safe - with Adrian Kladnig | 12m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good, just with a slightly goey crux, especially if the humidity is high!

20 | ★★★ Theory of Negativity - with Adrian Kladnig | 22m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Bloody fantastic, and nothing hard or crimpy, just pumpy. Did as a warm up and flash pumped at 2nd clip. Other than that, smooth sailing. Really great!

Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave | ||||||
20 | ★ Rock Snob - with Adrian Kladnig | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Don't know why is gets no stars! Climbs well, just 2 bolts of sandiness, with great movementand a sudden punchy crux. I thought it was great! Very similar to neighbouring climbs.

Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Choc Chip Chai Sector | ||||||
20 | ★★ Choc Chip Chai - with Adrian Kladnig | 15m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climbing!! Only a couple of thinner moves, nothing too hard, just pumpy. Possibly soft at the grade if your beta is good
|

Sun 14th Jul 2019 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Newnes Plateau Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area Bung Crag Surprise Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ In the Wind | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
So close! Excellent varied climbing. Headwall less blank and more flowing than it first appears with helpful bolt placements to prevent hitting slab. I found the last few moves powerful and pumpy at 20, but others didn't. Well protected finish. Very worthwhile and epic orange headwall is great! Lots of deceptive holds.

Medlow Bath The Sunbath | ||||||
20 | ★★ Strange Karma - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Still an excellent climb with one punchy, well bolted move in the middle. Very worthwhile. There's an out of sight carrot before anchors too.
|

Tue 10th Jul 2018 - Narrabeen | ||||||
Waterfall Crag | ||||||
20 | ★ Glory Hole - with Brent | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Got a bit lost at the start following chalk! Series of balancy moves and mantles, with final mantle as the crux. Anchors recessed against wall over the top.
|

20 | ★★ Tapering - with Brent | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Little bit of everything with balancy slab crux and overhung jugs to finish. Really nice climb!

The Junkyard Cave | ||||||
20 | ★★ Early Funk - with Tom Collins | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This flows really well once you figure out which alternate middle or finish you're doing. Left most start, traverse, right most finish up crimps with good feet

20 21 | ★★ Flash Flood - with Tom Collins | 18m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pumpy warmup but great climbing with non-obvious crux solution solution that avoids the "wtf" moment. Really cool.

Mount Victoria Area Mount York Noodle Wall | ||||||
20 19/20 | ★ Charlene - with jayden rouse | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Was a bit confused getting to 1st visible hanger at 10m, then excellent and well protected bouldery climbing up slightly overhanging face. Goey but fun and good clipping positions between crimps. Very worthwhile. Supposed to start up right corner/arete jumble under Murmel Snooze arete. I traversed in from Noodle/Thunderfart corner. 2 x shiny carrot bolts (one sticks out a long way though) out of sight at top of little arete well before the hanger you can see from the ground at 10m. Good to know.

Left rising traverse. Delicate foot movements. Lovely little addition to the Soft Parade. Thanks to Barry for both the bolting and the belay on my first first ascent on rope!

20 19 | ★★ Jack High - with Sam Clark | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Excellent excellent climbing. Thin and crispy climbing, good rests and had to have a good think and stare to figure out which tiny crimps were the ones through the crux. Well worthwhile.

20 | ★ Sniffing Dogs - with Jara | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Good climb partly ruined by bad bolt placement. Could use its own anchors and just a bit randomly put up. Good moves though.

20 | ★★ Absolute honey - with Jara | 13m, 4 | Average | |||
Old school 20, bit strenuous, worthwhile but not great.

20 | ★★ Quirrell's Quarrell - with Jackie Charles | 25m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good route, as per previous comments, good bouldery 17 to high crux, then great crux moves but thin, sequency, and a bit heady for your average 19. If you told me 21 I wouldn't argue. But well bolted and a worthy addition to a well-travelled wall.

| 43m, 15 | ★ Good | |||
Pitch 1 reachy but awesome, a few sequences through some of the crux moves, left/right options. Great lead by Jara on the 2nd pitch. Super runout between 2nd and 3rd bolt. Aaaah the old "but it's easy (chossy) ground" defence. Good but not as good as most people report. Other 2nd pitch options look like they could be great. Awesome view at top

20 | ★ Truancy Officer | 15m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Definitely only one hard move, and yes, softish for 20 but a genuine soft 20 if you're short. A first 20 to lead to more sustained 20's. Cool moves.

Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Historic Wells | ||||||
20 | ★ Statistical Scare Tactics | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fell off the anchors cause it started raining on the jugs!! Great climb, a little feisty at the top for 20 cause an undercling has ripped off, but not too much harder, just a bit more reachy/techy. Coming back for sure!

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ Nice Vice Baby | 20m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climb, very though-provoking but do-able crux. Some seriously thin feet but awesome over the lip. Generally: put a draw through the perma-rope at the badly placed bolt under roof. Then gain lip, reach down and put your own longer draw on it, then keep going.

|

20 | ★★ Throbbing Pole Of Love | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb but definitely much harder than 20. Hard and crimpy followed by more hard and crimpy. More like 22

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab | ||||||
20 17 | ★ Burning Jowls | 18m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Feisty if you're short, runout over ledge on thin moves. Totally doable but a couple of really thin moves if you're under 180cm. Other climbs on this wall much more in-grade.

Greta climb, fiesty start off boulder, I don't hink it's easy for 20 at all. Crux is reachy for shorties, but then real shorties can get foothold that I can't get and it's easier....
