26 Three Men and A Ladder - with Kurt Doherty Sport 10m, 5 Mt Coolum Very Good Sun 17th Sep 2017
Doneskis! Thought it was a long shot given it was burn 3, but made it through. Climbed very quickly through to the swing, then rested briefly, before getting through the swing and into the double knee bar rest. Took a proper recovery, then to the end without too much drama.

First 26. Even better, I legitimately got better at climbing by going through the process of working it. Happy days. Fantastic route, with some super speccy moves.

 
26 Screaming Insanity - with Nate Perry Sport 15m, 9 Mt Coolum Very Good Tue 1st Nov 2016
All moves, linking from 1st to heel-toe sequence.

Great route for the style. Spot on beta from Nate. Big time progress from my last visit to Coolum, but I'm still not psyched.

 
26 Smoked Mussels Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 28th Dec 2017
Was feeling good, then had a loud pop in my knee doing the rock over.

 
26 Nappies Patrique? Sport 10m Blue Mountains Good Sat 30th Dec 2017
Bottom felt nails until I worked it out. Did everything apart from the sequence through the middle. Well hard.

 
26 Supercallousfragileextradosage Sport 25m, 13 Blue Mountains Classic Fri 29th Sep 2017
Dog fest. Did probably 95% of the moves, pulling past a few. Nothing really hard but gee willickers it's thin and precarious. Very mentally challenging for me. Maybe one day.

 
26 Struggle Snuggle Sport 13m, 6 Mt Ninderry Very Good Sat 5th Aug 2017
Thought I was on QR. Mucked around at the crux and eventually found some holds.

 
26 Saturday Night Nitro Sport 15m, 6 Mt Ninderry Classic Sun 9th Oct 2016
Draws up. Had inklings it was going to be a high gravity day.

 
26 LSD Sport 25m, 8 Mt Ngungun Classic Sun 7th Aug 2016
Dogging and stick clip fest to get draws and rope up.

 
26 27 Stainless Climb (Stainless Climb p1) Sport 65m, 36 Mt Beerwah Mega Classic Mon 7th Mar 2016
Quick play on top rope after Cris' aided.

Did all the moves pretty quickly up to around 3/4 up - came down at the tricky corner move to traverse onto the face. Up to that point, fantastic climbing. Start is great. Bolts are not ideally positioned, but I guess that makes sense given the history.

 
26 M0 26 M0 The Way of All Flesh M0 Sport 22m Blue Mountains Sun 24th Sep 2017
Clearly super nice, but felt exposed and out there. Minimal psyche for mega lobs into space this early in the day. Bailed from the traverse.

 
26 These Terrors be but Arguments for Children Sport 12m, 6 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 24th Sep 2017
Brutal warm up keeping up with Al and Sam. Lovely movement. Would definitely get back on this, just didn't want to burn through the skin.

 
26 The Vallecula Groove - with Kurt Doherty Sport 8m, 5 Flinders Peak (limited access) Tue 25th Oct 2016
Very brief end of day look. Got basically nowhere. Did manage some rope burn on my neck though, so that's something.

 
26 24 Acid VF Sport 25m Mt Ngungun Very Good Sun 3rd Apr 2016
To second to last bolt - lost where to go and came down. Looking forward to heading out again with the topo in hand!

Nice moves on decent holds to that point, with one tricky clip.
