|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Lofty Odours | 33m | Summerday Valley | ★★★ Classic | Tue 25th Sep 2007 | |||
Hard seam initially, very thin. I used double ropes and did it in one pitch; almost dropped off through pump getting to arete! Would have been an exciting swing...
|
||||||||
21 | ★★★ Pathos - with Liz Milner | 28m | Bundaleer Area | ★★★ Classic | Sat 9th Feb 2013 | |||
You think you've done the hard move, but you haven't quite finished!

21 21 R | ★★★ Auto Da Fe - with Mike Hillan | 90m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 3rd Oct 2014 | |||
Beautiful, and not really runout. The Rockover above skink was exhilarating. Mike kindly let me lead both pitches.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Ethereal - with Mike Hillan | 20m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 4th Oct 2014 | |||
Quite sustained, but the gear is very good, and the moves nice.

5.10d | ★ Duracell - with nicole anderson | 30m, 3 | Lake Louise | ★ Good | Mon 28th Aug 2017 | |||
One move wonder, but quite nice.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Little Thor | 12m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Thu 20th Sep 2007 | |||
I noticed in the Shepherd guide that there was a peg protecting the crux move; this is no longer there, and made the crux move a lot more exciting, in my opinion!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Hard to Starboard | 25m | Waitpinga | ★★ Very Good | Wed 26th Jan 2011 | |||
The climb still seems to be cleaning up. I broke off at least 3 holds (although none of them were key). Nice though.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Cranky Babies | 12m | Arapiles | Average | Sun 6th Feb 2011 | |||
One hardi(ish) move, and you're there!
|

20 20 R | ★ The Crunge | 14m | Morialta | ★ Good | Fri 11th Feb 2011 | |||
Surprisingly nice! Good gear, too, although my last piece was one wire just above the Illequipt branch.

20 | ★★ Sweeping Statement Pitch 1 | 20m | Moonarie | ★ Good | Mon 5th Apr 2010 | |||

20 | ★★★ Blimp - with Liz Milner | 25m, 1 | Bundaleer Area | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 9th Feb 2013 | |||
Really nice, and multiple cruxes.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Werewolf - with Fred Dyer | 24m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Jun 2015 | |||
This is not 19 - the jamb in the crack was not good enough to be 19.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Debutante Direct Start - with Rachel Katterl | 24m | Mt Rosea | ★★★ Classic | Sun 14th Feb 2016 | |||
A bit greasy, but a fun, sustained, mandatory-jamming crack.
|
||||||||
5.10c | ★ Heartattack and Vine - with nicole anderson | 40m, 5 | Lake Louise | ★★ Very Good | Mon 28th Aug 2017 | |||

20 19 | ★★ The Desired | 60m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 13th Mar 2011 | |||
Really hard move in the first 3 metres - close to losing it.
|

19 | ★★ The Prince | 33m | Moonarie | ★★ Very Good | Sat 23rd Apr 2011 | |||
Nice! Quality first pitch. Seconded by Lynne.

19 | ★★★ Pine Crack | 65m | Moonarie | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 25th Apr 2011 | |||
Beautiful climb, up there with the best I have done. Hard moves off the ground though!
|

19 | ★★★ Billy the Kid | 10m | Moonarie | ★★★ Classic | Sun 8th Apr 2012 | |||

|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Wildman - with Mike hillan | 15m | Mt Horrible | ★★ Very Good | Mon 31st Dec 2012 | |||
A perfict mandatory jambing climb - just too short!
|

19 | ★★ Garth Vader - with Lyron Winderbaum | 20m | Rawnsley Bluff | ★★★ Classic | Sun 5th Apr 2015 | |||

18 | ★ Prelate | 14m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Thu 13th Sep 2007 | |||
Nothing like a bit of commitment. The only reason I tried it was because it looked like you sling the peanut. Alas it was not to be, and desperate clinging to the hole eventually got me up.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Sacred Site | 30m, 2 | Fortescue Bay | ★★★ Classic | Wed 5th Jan 2011 | |||
I love sea stacks! Perfect weather for this one.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Eurydice - with Mike Barnes | 65m, 2 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 27th Jan 2013 | |||

18 | ★ Four Sticks - with Mike Hillan | 20m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 4th Oct 2014 | |||

18 | ★★ Gilt Edged - with Rebekah Richardson | 40m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 7th Jun 2015 | |||

19 18 | ★★★ Miles from Nowhere - with Jack Mattinson | 100m | Moonarie | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 1st Oct 2017 | |||

|
||||||||
18 | ★ Femroc - with Jack Mattinson | 20m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Nov 2017 | |||
Tricky through the bulge, and quite sustained above.
|

18 | ★ Free Beer - with Jack Mattinson | 30m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Nov 2017 | |||

18 17 | ★★ Preludes | 35m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 12th Mar 2011 | |||
You have to like jamming for the crux down low. Harder than it looks!
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ Rush | 60m | Moonarie | ★ Good | Sun 8th Apr 2012 | |||
Andrew Moser led 1 & 3, I led 2. A nutty problem getting out of the niche - nice climb!
|

17 | ★ Arch Dig - with Mike Hillan | 12m | Mt Horrible | ★ Good | Sun 30th Dec 2012 | |||

Absolutely brilliant! Climbed in 2 pitches (belay at niche), led second pitch, all on twin 60m ropes. Would have been a rope-stretcher on 50's for the second pitch. Beautiful day, good company.
|

16 | ★ Labouring the Point | 90m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 6th Feb 2011 | |||

16 | ★ Hunky Dory | 35m | Moonarie | ★ Good | Sat 23rd Apr 2011 | |||
