	15	★★ Devil's Wart - with Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson	Trad 27m	★★★ Classic	Jason Nguyen
Lovely cruisy, flowy and fun start to a cave and then some awkward, thrutchy (but fun) moves to get out of it! Had a great time but the 4,5 and 6 on my harness (thanks Jack) made the squatting / stemming technique I used a bit more awkward!
	15	★ Bad Company - with Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Jason Nguyen
Apart from the very start, this route was super awesome!! Thoroughly enjoyed apart from the horrendous foot pump I had. Great gear but didn’t look at the line properly and carried 2s and 3s to the top unnecessarily! Used a good amount of passive gear (including my hexes) so I was happy with that.

	18	★★ Fluid / Epic Link Up - with Sam Rose	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Josh Peters
Kinda disappointed to not get this first go, but still stoked nonetheless. What an awesome route!!
	21	★★★ Conquistador - with Sam Rose	Trad 45m	★★★ Mega Classic	Josh Peters
Pink point felt great, placing gear will be pretty gnarly but I’m stoked to get back and get her done.
	21	★★★ Conquistador - with Sam Rose	Trad 45m	★★★ Mega Classic	Josh Peters
Failed redpoint attempt. Forgot all my beta, and forgot how sketchy the undulating middle section was for placing gear. Two sits. Cruised through the crux though, found much better beta through it.
	21	★★★ Conquistador - with Josh Peters	Trad 45m	★★★ Classic	Sam Rose
Managed get the overhang clean but had a little spill at the bottom. Still really gross in full sun.
	18	★★ Fluid / Epic Link Up - with Josh Peters	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Sam Rose
Footslip at the top prefaced my first winger on gear, maybe picked the best route/spot for it. Now halfway down the route I opted for the easy way out. Also my first climb with crack gloves, and they are in fact aid.
	15	★ Rest Area Ahead - with Ryan Siacci	Trad 10m	★ Good	Jessica Bradley
I really enjoyed that.

	20	★★★ Juggernaut	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong
Amazing off-widthing! I've never had to do hand-hand or hand-fist stacking before so this was super fun! Fist-fist stacks just do not hold though... need to watch more Wide Boyz
	19	★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong
A very fine line
	22	★★★ Yankee Go Home - with rickau	Trad 26m	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong
Super frustrating to pump out on a bad jam after getting past the cruxes For future reference: remember the first piece past the "anchor piece" is a lovely slot-in blue nut

	16	★★★ Satan's Smokestack - with Erika, Ashton	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong
One for the absolute masochists! Absolutely mega 4-sided chimney. The atrocious off-widthing prior really makes you earn the pitch. Had to remove all the gear from my left side in order to not get hopelessly stuck in the off-width
	23	★★★ Epic Journey — 2 attempts - with rickau	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong
Excellent, tricky thin climb For future ref: crux sequence, use the chalked up finger locks, right hand hand jam below the mega jugs and go for the jugs with the left hand.
	19	★★★ Infinity - with rickau	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong
	19	★★★ Thor - with Jonas Paget	Trad 30m		Liamtemp
	18	★★★ Plume - with Volodymyr K	Trad 25m		Liamtemp
All time. Some grunty jamming followed by some thoughtful moves all the way to the top.
	18	★★ Gladiator - with Volodymyr K	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Liamtemp
	23	Gear on ★★ Nosy Business - with Volodymyr K	Mixed trad 20m, 4	★★ Very Good	Liamtemp
Ondra put gear on for me after he did gladiator. Some really nice movement but felt a bit wandery. Tried to stay on the face but felt quite forced at times.

	14	★ Psychedelic Apricot - with Volodymyr K	Trad 15m		Liamtemp

climbed without knowing the grade until after, dyl did well.

niiice
	20	★★ Dream of Purple Peach Popsicles - with zac	Trad 32m	★★★ Classic	Harrie Van de Linde
was a fight for my life, last climb of the trip. I got it all in the end but my goodness, some of the finger locks are quite committing. great small gear, bring doubles of everything below red.
	17	★ Chunder Crack - with zac	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good	Harrie Van de Linde
why this has no stars in the book I don't know. was one of the only cracks I could convince zac to do with me and it went quite well. classic grovel/squeeze/ chimney that is a piece of work when you're leading, but great fun all round.
	14 ~15	★★ Faki - with ashton	Trad 13m		Harrie Van de Linde
pretty cool crack system, harder than 14 surely
	18	★★★ Plume - with ashton	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good	Harrie Van de Linde
pretty good, but not as good as I thought it would be. bit of a fight actually.
	18	★★ Chocolate Watch Band - with ashton	Trad 17m	★ Good	Harrie Van de Linde
was an ok route, top is not great though. just another 18 for me IMO.

Punt.
	16	★★ Micron - with Elaine Chiu	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Josh Peters
Elaine’s first real lead!! So proud. Good thing we had like 6-7 micros to keep the route nice and stitched up. We won’t talk about my prized black tote that was overcammed required our guardian angel Simon to retrieve for us. I’m trying to convince Elaine it’s FUBAR and guilt trip her into buying me a new one (if you’re reading this it is most certainly ruined and my inevitable death will be by your hand)
	20	★★ Satyricon - with Josh Peters, Elaine Chiu, nicole	Trad 35m		Martin Weir
	22	★★★ Old Guard - with Josh Peters, Elaine Chiu, nicole	Trad 40m		Martin Weir
Easier than conquistador? Lovely lovely moves though.
	16	★★★ Satan's Smokestack - with Josh Peters, Elaine Chiu, nicole	Trad 40m		Martin Weir
Ill take any excuse to get in the stack and not feel like I'm gonna die at the start
	19	★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice - with Kilroy, Liamtemp, Matthew Robbins, Bryn Norris	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good	Troy McAndrew
Attempted with Matts gear in. Had one sit at crux. Kinds death by fire as Matt very confidently ran out the top on the crack climbing part and I had to really commit to the 5 min lesson he gave me at the start of the day haha.
	27	★★★ Time for Tea - with Kilroy, Liamtemp, Matthew Robbins, Bryn Norris	Sport 35m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Troy McAndrew
Had a go on top rope and figured it out. Keen to come back really fun climbing. Need a cool morning for the mingers.
	27	★★★ Time for Tea - with Kilroy, Liamtemp, Matthew Robbins, Bryn Norris	Sport 35m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Troy McAndrew
Couldn't figure out the top first shot. Very hot when the sun comes over.
	19	★★★ Infinity - with Elaine Chiu	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic	Josh Peters
Two sits. Felt infinitely (hah!) easier than it did the last time I did it, being my first climb ever at frog.
	18	★★ Fluid / Epic Link Up - with Elaine Chiu	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Josh Peters
Deserves more stars, what a brilliant line!!! Had a sit bc I couldn’t figure out the crux(?) but resorted to basically a one arm pull up on a bomber jam. Realised I went way too high before cutting right onto the other line, resulting in some colourful language and yelling my disdain for the bullshit sport that is climbing. Note to self, cut right when hands are on the big ledge, not when I’m stood on it.

New projie just dropped 😎
	24	Bitching and Back Stabbing - with Liamtemp	Mixed trad 12m, 2	Don't Bother	Matthew Robbins
Went for an onsight attempt but retreated back down at the first bolt. Climbing is classsy but the bolts do not look to be in a healthy state. Happy to have tried it (Frog has lots of hidden gems but this isn't one of them), happy to have exercised good risk assessment and bailed.

	15	★ Witches Cauldron (Variant Finish)	Trad 14m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Coulter
By far the superior variant. The crack in the chimney is actually excellent, for all 3 moves of it. Watch your head for the rock sticking out at the top of the chimney though!
	19	★ Jigsaw	Trad 35m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Coulter
An underrated route. If it were longer it’d for sure get more stars
	26 Hard	★★ Wild One	Trad 20m		Matthew Robbins
Seeing how it felt +1 year. Top crack still easy, bottom crux feels like it’d go any shot but could also be another 5 sessions of bad luck. Might leave it for end of the season.

	20	★★★ Devils Dihedral - with Thomas Zambon	Trad 45m		Will Kluck
	20	★★★ Short Order - with Thomas Zambon	Trad 30m		Will Kluck
	25	★★ Green Plastic Comb - with Liamtemp	Trad 20m		Matthew Robbins
Account closed. Sensational, sustained arete and compression climbing. Unrelenting until the final body crack, which unfortunately keeps it from being a 3 star route. Stoked af.
