The Front Row
V2 Silky Smooth Boulder Classic
Mmmmmm so bulgy and prominent

 
V1 Lux Interior Boulder Very Good
Love it

 
V2 The Lichen Street Shuffle — 5 attempts Boulder
Spend half an hour balancing on your big toes trying to find some more feet. Who doesn't love a downward trending slab traverse?

 
Thu 23rd Jun 2022 - The Balkans
The Frontline Front and Centre
V2 Diplomatic Solution - with Rohan Nowell, Jake Delaney, clank mummas and pappas Boulder 3m
Fun! Plant your taint to gain the send

 
V4 Diplomatic Immunity - with Rohan Nowell, Jake Delaney, clank mummas and pappas Boulder 3m
Cool rock features. Didn't want to sacrifice my skin to this today. Maybe next time

 
V5 Sloper-Dan Milosevic Boulder 5m
It was never gonna live up to the huge hype. But I was definitely underwhelmed. Didn't really inspire me to keep trying it. The pincer movement was way cooler in my opinion. But maybe the rest of it is awesome! just not my thing? Don't let me yuk your yum. But do try pincer movement!

 
Thu 23rd Jun 2022 - The Balkans
The Frontline The Corridor Boulders
V5 The Pincer Movement Boulder 4m Mega Classic
What a great unique line. Took many attempts to figure out my sequence. Slow and steady was the key instead of fast big moves. One of my all time faves I reckon

Thu 16th Jun 2022 - Jannali Reserve
V2 C Boulder
Spent more time trying this as I felt bad trashing it every time I see it. Still feels completely impossible, a v6, and I still don't like it for being a sandbag

 
V4 Wall Crawler (Crimpy Wall Right) - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 3m Mega Classic
One of my favourite boulders ever. #changethename. Please let's all agree to call this beautiful climb something better. Def a grade or so harder than the left one

 
V0 and Jalad - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 2m
V0+ (Temba, His Arms Wide) - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 2m
Legs wide

 
V1 at Tanagra! - with Jake Delaney Boulder 2m
Cave me

 
V7 Quadruple Bypass - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 5m
Not yet or soon

 
V5 Wish You Were Here - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 5m Mega Classic
Still dialled apparently

 
V6 You Can't Change History - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 5m
Feels too sketch even with more pads and spotters. And at my strength level

 
V1 Jubilee - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 4m
V0 depths of time - with Jake Delaney, mike drinkswater Boulder 5m Very Good
Tue 7th Jun 2022 - Jannali Reserve
V1 Darmok - with lydia Boulder 2m
Harder than I remember. Reached at the top. Cool moves down low though

 
V1 Lean-to (A) - with lydia Boulder 3m
Great moves and holds. A sting in the tail with the topout too. Needs a better name of course

 
V2 C - with lydia Boulder
I just wanted to log that this seems impossible. If I was told v7 I would be like 'o yeah that seems fair'. I must be missing something (apart from strength, technique and mental game).

 
V4 Call a Lawyer (Crimpy Wall Left) - with lydia Boulder 3m Classic
Greeeeaaaattt. I still probably prefer the right climb, and for me the right felt a bit harder. But really great technical face climbing. Topout wasn't too bad either. Again these climbs needs some inspiring names. Come FAers, get creative.

 
Tue 17th May 2022 - The School (Bouldering)
V1 Mantle Madness - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 3m
Fun

 
V0 Pocket Lint (Slight Return) - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 3m
V0 Bird Up! - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m
V1 Choss Point - with Rohan Nowell Boulder
Chossy start but the big move makes up for it

 
V1 Dropout - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m Good
A fun addition to the crag

 
V2 Hooky - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m Very Good
I really enjoyed this. I pressed back into the roof and converted it to an undercling to find the jug. Rotub went direct.

 
V1 Taipan Prow - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m Classic
Big call: best v1 in the shire? I certainly do it every time I'm here.

 
V2 Rooflet Up - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m
Bulgy

 
V1 Consolation Cave - with Rohan Nowell Boulder
A sulky FA after having chicken Crimpys swooped out infront of me by sneaky strongboi rotub! An exploding foot made the first attempt exotic. Roofy with a slopey topout

Really enjoyed this

 
Thu 21st Apr 2022 - Stanage
Plantation Boulders The Pebble
4+ Pebble Flakes - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 4m Classic
Really nice flowy moves

 
6A Pebble Arete - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 4m
Oooo what a joy. Like crescent arete but a bit less high, scary, and a better landing. The final move off a bad smear was my crux. Exciting Tom Bes

 
4 Pebble Face - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 5m Good
Cool first move then a bit plain

 
Thu 21st Apr 2022 - Stanage
Plantation Boulders The Lone Boulder
V2 The Lone Arete - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder Very Good
Loved it. Beautiful flowing rock

 
V2 The Lone Slab - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder Good
Much harder than lone scoop and less of a quality line maybe?

 
6B Steep Side (Sit Start) - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 3m Classic
Very nice easy moves

 
V2 Lone Scoop - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder Classic
Loved this a lot. Very satisfying slap for the top and unbelievable how much friction you can get of the basically flat vertical smears!

 
Thu 21st Apr 2022 - Stanage
Plantation Boulders Mental Block
4B Scoops Arete - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 4m
Another fun high ish introduction to stanage bouldering

 
4C Scoops Slab - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 4m Very Good
Great high slabbing

 
4C Scoops Groove - with jon 'ole mate stan age' cave Boulder 4m Good
Move into a high cramped position under the lip was a bit of spice. Exciting

 
Thu 21st Apr 2022 - Stanage
Plantation Boulders Crescent Arete Area
5C Crescent Arete Boulder 7m Very Good
got higher and higher into the crux but just couldnt commit to matching on the arete on those terrible smears. too high, too slopey a landing for me. first shutdown of the trip, but not the last

 
Tue 22nd Mar 2022 - Bangor Blocs
Blocs
V0 Mount Celeste - with Rohan Nowell Boulder
A fun low commitment intro to the high slabs next door.

 
V2 Blunted Boulder
Was trying for the direct route staying in the middle of the blunt arete. But as you move high and left the landing gets bad and the holds disappear. Maybe I will do it on a day I feel bolder. The escape out right at the top wasn't much easier, just a better landing. The start was really cool if you stay in the middle, slopey compression moves and heel hooks.

 
V1 Why Boulder 6m Classic
greeeaaat committing slabbing. feels a little bit spookier than the v4 as you are stepping across rather than straight up. for me at least. and not that much easier than the v4.

 
V2 Crabbing Boulder 6m Good
funky start which is the hardest move.

 
V4 Whyds Boulder 6m Classic
really cool. having the top dialled in from doing the v1 first was helpful. really thin stuff to gain the bigger flake up top

 
V4 Cool Boulder 6m
big bling slap over the lip was shutting me down. maybe when i am fresh. a great route though. the mantle move is worth doing by itself.

 
V1 Reach Boulder 6m
definitely a reach. had to put two pads under to get the first hold.

 
Thu 17th Feb 2022 - Jannali Reserve
V0 Rogue - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 5m
Classic

 
V0 depths of time - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 5m Very Good
Classico

 
V0 Storm - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m Very Good
Class

 
V4 Wall Crawler (Crimpy Wall Right) - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 3m Classic
Reeeeeally liked this. Very thin and technical on a nice clean face. The top out is no gimme either. But pleeeeaaaassseee can we agree on a more interesting name. Maybe something beginning with C W R like coke with rum or whatever. And coke with lime on the left? Something like that. Anything please. As there is no FA info I don't know how this can happen. And I have a funny feeling that renaming climbs might open a can of worms. Just a feeling.

 
V1 Jubilee - with Rohan Nowell Boulder 4m
Managed to avoid the spider web edge in the middle this time. Classpider

 
Thu 10th Feb 2022 - Jannali Reserve
V0 depths of time Boulder 5m Very Good
Can't not love climbing on these features.

 
V0 Rogue Boulder 5m
This has got to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing beginner walls around. What a great route.

 
V2 Sweat Bandit Boulder
If you like this kind of thing, you'll love this kind of thing. Textbook bat hang to quality precarious mantle. There is definitely potential for another hard shouldery route in between this and Sunday fiesta using the undercling pinches. I couldn't get it today though

 
V3 Sunday fiesta Boulder 3m Very Good
Cool route. There is some chalk one some crimps in the cave but all the feet in there are pure sand choss. It feels like a crappy way to start, maybe a lost boulderer? So I just started on the good rock on the lip.

 
V0 Storm Boulder 4m Very Good
Great times

 
V5 Wish You Were Here Boulder 5m Mega Classic
Finally got past the big sidepull that I could get to in almost every attempt. A few times I was shut down by leaves in the slot, but mainly just lack of commitment at that point. A key foot swap out right helped me push through. Great climbing.
