Sun 18th Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
16 Karinya Sport 25m, 7 Very Good
Would've thought this was a touch harder, but didn't deviate left and right for jugs just went direct to each bolt. Fun climb.

Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
23 Scheme of Things - with Tom, Kate, Emily Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
The start is brutal if you're not tall. Thankfully I am 😂

 
22 Who Killed Bambi? - with Tom, Kate, Emily Sport 20m Good
Absolutely committing for that traverse - not the best warm up.

 
Mon 29th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower)
21 ~20 Cock Blocker - with Tom, Kate, Emily Sport 15m Very Good
Nice route, interesting finish. Definitely could see some great whips off this one.

 
19 Belayer's Root - with Tom, Kate, Emily Sport 14m Good
21 Who the Fuck is Keith - with Tom, Kate, Emily Sport 15m, 8 Very Good
Possibly soft for the grade, guess that depends on your footwork.

 
Sun 24th Dec 2023 - Ton Sai
Ton Sai Wall & Roof
7b ~7a+ Ton Sai Playboy Sport 15m, 7 Classic
Pump fest, but 7b feels generous. Everyone here agrees 7a+. There's so many decent rests if you squeeze yourself into them.

 
Sun 3rd Dec 2023 - Berowra
Positive Ape Factor Area
19 ~20 Wall Thing Sport 12m, 3 Very Good
Kind of feel like this is approaching a 20. Very awesome movement, with no real rest. Feels a touch easier than MFDS, but harder than 19 to be sure. And the potential whip off the end makes for quite a committing move after building the pump.

 
Sat 7th Oct 2023 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
4 Kaboomba Brothers Sport 10m, 4 Good
Hilariously sandbagged for a 4? But what would you even grade this? XD it's spooky for the grade for sure.

 
11 Kedumba Sisters Sport 12m, 7 Good
Sat 30th Sep 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
18 Jolly Good Fellow Sport 25m, 9 Very Good

Stonehaven
20 The Shield - with Softboi_core, Roger Jiang Sport 16m, 7 Very Good
Huge flash send train with the crew, 5 flashes back to back, let's gooooo.

 
18 Et Toit... Ca Va! - with Softboi_core, Roger Jiang Sport 8m, 5 Very Good
Won't lie, I dynoed to finish this one. The finishing move was too hard for my injured finger to try so I dynoed past it.

 
Mon 10th Jul 2023 - Berowra
Positive Ape Factor Area
16 ~14 MT Sport 9m, 5 Very Good
Kate and I just wanted to know why there was a shiny orange biner on the anchor. Turns out it is a poorly chosen perma biner. Probably should be changed to something less conspicuous.

 
Sun 9th Jul 2023 - Alfords Point
Alfords Point Main Area
23 Show Us Your Form Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Let Tom try and take the onsight because I wasn't sure if I'd be keen to send it twice. But I should have gone. I called the onsight/flash from the ground from the get go. And so I did! Fun moves but I feel this could possibly be downgraded.

 
17 Vintage Cuvée Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
If you want to build your mental game on something easy, this climb is it. That move to the anchor is ballsy.

 
18 It's a wrap Sport 12m, 6 Good
Sun 2nd Jul 2023 - Narrabeen
Wakehurst Parkway Steep Side
17 Yawning Yowie Sport 10m, 4 Average
Watched Tom flail on this number on his onsight. Quite the hilarious beta at the top. Honestly have no idea what the intended beta was considering the placement of the anchor seems arbitrary and kind of stupid. If it was a metre or 2 to the right it would be the same grade with out the seemingly nonsense step out left where the holds run out.

Thompson's Point Lizard Block
18 Lazy Lizard Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
14 Lounge Lizard Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Sun 19th Mar 2023 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Theory of Negativity Wall
20 Theory of Negativity Sport 22m, 9 Classic
Absolutely awesome climb, found a no hands rest half way up which was godsend to shake off the pump. And the view off the anchors, wow, 10/10 would climb again.

 
Sat 4th Mar 2023 - Elanora Heights
Feather Wall
18 Parrots Of The Caribbean - with Jessie Wu, Axelclimbtv Sport 18m, 9 Very Good
The mantle at the start is quite odd - finding the feet and slapping at the sloped edge was fun, felt like a V3 boulder problem. Then easy climb for the rest.

 
Sat 21st Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Megalong Valley Crags James Bond Mr Big Area
16 Cold Finger Sport 12m
Oddly blank at 3rd bolt - probably not the best warm up.

 
Sat 14th Jan 2023 - Bouddi National Park
Wagstaffe - Lobster Cave
19 ~18 Second Cave Carrots - with Jessie Wu, Axelclimbtv Sport 7m, 6 Very Good
Interesting moves for the grade - but flows very nice with very close bolts

 
Mon 12th Oct 2020 - Berowra
Pimple Buttress
18 Look Blue Go Purple Sport 10m, 3 Good
Some commiting moves for an 18.

 
Sat 10th Oct 2020 - Woy Woy
Phegans Bay
15 HS Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Sent it straight up right after Meggan Turner onsighted it. Fun little warm up.

 
Sat 12th Sep 2020 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
15 Santa's Little Helper - with Meggan Turner Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Thought provoking at times for a 15.

 
Sun 2nd Aug 2020 - West Gosford
Rock Soldiers Arete
15 19 Building Bridges Sport 9m, 4 Good
Definitely not a 19, huge juggy moves, gigantic footholds, easy clips, loads of spots to rest.

 
Sun 5th Jul 2020 - Bouddi National Park
Wagstaffe - Lobster Cave
20 21 Dave's Climb Sport 10m, 3 Very Good
Height seemed to play a huge advantage sending this.
