Sun 21st Jan 2024 - Bob's Hollow
18 ~19 Shark Skin Sport 10m, 3 Average
Cool climbing for 2-3 metres. Pretty hard for 18 I think. Dumb lower off section. I kind of down climbed to take the draws off.

 
Tue 3rd Oct 2023 - Denmark
Monkey Rock Western Slab Face
12 King Louie - with Rose Whitau Sport 27m, 9
Lots of fun. A day of good onsights from Rose.

 
13 Funky Monkey - with Rose Whitau Sport 27m, 8
Solid crux move for 13. Deserves 14/15 imo.

 
10 Marcel - with Rose Whitau Sport 26m, 8
Sun 24th Sep 2023 - Bob's Hollow
22 Mixed Grill — 2 attempts - with Just Linder Sport 45m Very Good
First time on the second pitch. Mega. Both pitches in one. Did clean on top rope afterwards too to clean.

 
Sun 26th Mar 2023 - Bob's Hollow
23 Altered States Sport 25m
Hard fight. Thought it was 22 so probably tried a bit harder.

 
Sun 12th Mar 2023 - Mountain Quarry
The Black Bay
19 Turbodiesel Excavator - with Simon Chambers Sport 16m, 5
Quite cryptic in a few sections for me.

 
Sun 12th Mar 2023 - Mountain Quarry
Playboy Area
16 Bumble Bee - with Simon Chambers Sport 12m, 4
14 Unknown - with Simon Chambers Sport 19m, 7
15 Aerobics with Alan - with Simon Chambers Sport 20m, 6
Sat 11th Mar 2023 - Statham's Quarry
Michel Angelo Walls
17 Short Circuit Direct - with Simon Chambers, Mike Anderson Sport 27m, 10
Hard to flow. Climbed slowly and thoughtfully. No hard pulling but pretty awkward route reading.

 
21 Real Life Ambition - with Simon Chambers, Mike Anderson Sport 15m, 6
Thanks Mike for hanging the bolt plates, draws and beta. Unreal climb.

 
Sat 2nd Apr 2022 - Bob's Hollow
20 18 Stalagasaurus Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Did the left variation too which is rad fun. I thought it was going to be tricky on the descent looking it over, but turned out to be not bad at all. Worth doing. Despite only 1 new bolt it adds a fair few different moves. My favourite route in this section. Soft for 20 for sure.

 
Sun 6th Mar 2022 - Bob's Hollow
19 Fin Right Sport 20m, 7
Uber pumped.

 
Wed 15th Sep 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
18 Jolly Good Fellow Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
17 Hermione Sport 25m, 8 Very Good
Sat 21st Aug 2021 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Diamond Falls Access Ledge
21 The Jewel Thief Sport 28m Classic
Superb. Hard 21 for sure.

 
Sun 2nd May 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole
18 Blow Fly Sport 15m, 8 Good
Fun day of climbing. All these routes are worth doing and are mostly sustained for the grade!

 
Wed 13th Jan 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Boronia Point Ancient Mariner Buttress
21 Diana Ross Sport 15m Good
Sun 10th Jan 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
23 Creep Show - with Eamonn Sport 18m Classic
Wow. Consistent and fun jug hauling. Surprisingly didn’t get too pumped.

 
Sat 14th Nov 2020 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Hartley Hartley Vale Road
17 Electrostatic Axila Sport 15m Good
Fri 9th Oct 2020 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
23 LLK link DIAD (Link-Up) Sport 11m, 5 Very Good
Link up worth doing. Makes the crux of deerstalker feel much harder.

 
Sun 4th Oct 2020 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
19 Sloper for Saddam Sport 15m, 3 Very Good
Epic start.

 
22 Vasco Pyjama Sport 12m, 4
Brutal. Then to perhaps the easiest climbing on the wall.

 
Mon 28th Sep 2020 - Bungonia Gorge
South Wall - Little Thai Wall
20 Lame Duck - with Eamonn, Simon Chambers, Adam Sport 15m Good
If you pick the right holds, it is not choosy at all! But be warned there are some crumblers about. Some good old fashioned crimping required. Solid at the grade and a tough onsight with no chalk or obvious holds guiding the way.

 
Sun 16th Aug 2020 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Hat Hill Crag
21 Yucadoo! - with Eamonn Sport 20m, 11 Classic
Amazing and varied climbing. Might be 22.

 
Sat 1st Aug 2020 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath DG's
24 23 Top Sail Sport 15m
Fantastic boulder problem at the bottom that I had all the beta for. And then pretty easy grade 19ish climbing to the top with 2 fun mantles. I think 23 is a more apt grade.

 
Wed 22nd Jul 2020 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Nest Main Area
16 Weasel Words Sport 15m, 4 Average
No hard moves just a little exposed and wandery.

 
17 Araplactic Sport 18m Good
Very hard crux for the grade I found. Seems 3 grades harder than the 16s next door and perhaps that one move is harder than anything on Fibromajestic (19). Or again, my beta could be off.

 
Wed 17th Jun 2020 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
15 The Arrow and the Song Sport 26m, 9 Very Good

22 Nylon Happy Sport 20m, 8 Very Good
Had the pleasure of seeing the beta for the crux. Definitely would not have got the onsight!

More pumpy jugs fun.

Sat 4th May 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper War Babies Wall
20 Scramble Syndrome Sport 20m Good
After watching many people try this I was surprised by how easily I reached the roof and how much I struggled getting past it. Be nice to do this again a little smoother.

 
Mon 22nd Apr 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper War Babies Wall
17 Pluck the Duck Sport 12m Good
Sun 7th Apr 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall

Easiest 22 I’ve done. Had all the beta and draws were hung by Eamonn. Cheers!

 
Sun 31st Mar 2019 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
21 Viper Sport 15m, 10 Classic
Happy with the flash on this. Hard move to establish yourself on the overhang. Loads of bolts!

 
Tue 26th Mar 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
18 Hold on to Your Hats Sport 15m Good
Terrible bolting. Fun climb.

 
Sun 10th Mar 2019 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Mossy Wall
20 Truancy Officer Sport 15m, 4 Good
Top roped my brother, who doesn’t climb, before I led this, and he sent it cleanly! Must be soft.

18 Old Salt Sport 18m
Tue 19th Feb 2019 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
21 Socially Inept Sport 12m, 4
Glad I didn’t put the draws on this one. Watched it done twice for some nice beta.

 
21 Whimsical Sport 12m, 6
Easier than the 20 I reckon.
