	24	Commander Dildo - with Mattyj	Unknown 50m, 5	Mount Buffalo	Average	Mon 25th Apr 2016
Matt pulled a flake at the start making things harder. Had to pull on the draw Hard slabbing. Hard move at the roof, to more hard slabbing. Quite run out.
Trad
	25	★★★ Mr Joshua 1 25	Mixed trad 50m, 12	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Fri 2nd Oct 2015
With the gear in, dog my way up to try the move. The lower crux felt fine once I found a good beta. The upper crux feels almost harder, I can see it being an issue on the redpoint.
	25	★★★ Mr Joshua (Mr Joshua P1) 1 25	Mixed trad 50m, 12	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 3rd Oct 2015
went up to work the move
	25	★★★ Mr Joshua (Mr Joshua P1) 1 25	Mixed trad 50m, 12	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 3rd Oct 2015
Link up to the first crux but powered out. Refined my beta for the upper part and the upper crux
	25	★★★ Mr Joshua 1 25	Mixed trad 50m, 12	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Fri 2nd Oct 2015
Went up with the intend of putting the gear and try the moves. Got shut down by the crux.
	22	★★ The Icing On The Cake - with Mattyj 1 22 2 21	Mixed trad 75m, 9	Mount Buffalo	★★ Very Good	Wed 27th Apr 2016
Steep slab, desperate at time but with some nice holds towards the top. Started where it branches of initiation, as we had both done initiation before. Managed to second the 2nd pitch clean somehow ! It's quite run out and would be better with a couple extra carrot.
	25	★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1 - with Julian Goad, Chris Harper	Mixed trad 28m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 7th May 2016
Went up to put the gear on, couldn't remember half of the move ...
	25	★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1 - with Julian Goad, Chris Harper	Mixed trad 28m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 7th May 2016
Back up to work the move.Got a new beta for the first crux. Got insanely pumped linking the crux to the rest. Worked the move for the upper bit. Need more fitness
	19	★★ Chickens in Choppers - with Chris Harper, Mattyj	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Mount Buffalo	★ Good	Sun 24th Apr 2016
Nice protected slab, route is 30m to the double carrot belay.
	20	★★ Cows with Guns - with Chris Harper, Mattyj	Mixed trad 50m, 7	Mount Buffalo	★ Good	Sun 24th Apr 2016

	20	★★★ Home James - with Chris Harper	Mixed trad 30m, 4	Mount Buffalo	★★ Very Good	Sun 29th Mar 2015
Awesome face climbing on Dykes. Bolting is a bit spaced but where you need them, and takes a bit of gear as well
	24	★★ Mutiny On The Bounty - with gaetan	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sun 4th Jun 2017
Did all the move, harder for short people. A #3 camalot or equivalent works well if you don't have #4.
	24	★★ Mutiny On The Bounty	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Jun 2017
Couldn't do the first move again, did clean after pulling past first move.

	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 10th Jun 2013

	23	★★★ Lunatic	Mixed trad 25m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Tricky committing start. The rest is really enjoyable, pumpy finish on jugs.

	25	★★★ Henry Bolte - with thara	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 9th Mar 2019
Cheking out the moves, and the top out
	25	★★★ Henry Bolte - with thara	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 9th Mar 2019
High point, the reachy move at 3rd bolt will likely be the redpoint crux
	25	★★★ Henry Bolte - with thara	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 9th Mar 2019
Last go of the day, trying to refine the sequence around the small crimp
	25	★★★ Henry Bolte - with thara	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 10th Mar 2019
Warming up
	18	★★★ Simpleton	Mixed trad 85m, 2	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Wed 1st Jun 2011
approx date. Found it pretty exiting at the time, cool traverse a the top. A bit of an epic to get down, we got the ropes stuck ....
	18	★★★ Sacred Site - with thara	Mixed trad 30m, 2	Fortescue Bay	★★ Very Good	Fri 6th Feb 2015
Awesome position, the route was slightly damp but still climable
	23	★★★ Fever Pitch	Mixed trad 30m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 21st Nov 2015
The top is thin and keeps coming at you. Managed to keep it together and pull all the move. Great pitch in an awesome location. One to try on lead now.
	21	★★ Talk of Mad Women	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sun 4th Jun 2017
To clean the gear, nice tricky slab move at the start.
	21	★★ Yesterday's Rooster	Mixed trad 22m, 2	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 21st Nov 2015
alzheimer onsight, tricky classic arapiles crux. Good to work on arête climbing which I am not good at.
	23	★★ Pocket Full of Dreams - with thara	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Victoria Range	★★ Very Good	Sat 9th Sep 2017
Took me a couple of tries to do the start.
	26	★★★ Archimedes' Principle	Mixed trad 60m, 2	Victoria Range	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 15th May 2015
Seconded it to clean the gear. None of the move are too hard but there is a lot of climbing. Still a bit beyond me.
	26	★★★ Archimedes' Principle	Mixed trad 60m, 2	Victoria Range	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 27th Apr 2015
Managed to do the moves up through the crux with multiple rest and a few whipper but too tired to carry on to the top. I'll need to get used to the style and get my endurance up. Amazing route !
	12	★★ Scarab	Mixed trad 59m, 1	Bundaleer Area	★★ Very Good	Sun 26th Mar 2017
	19	★★★ Judgement Day - with thara, Tom	Mixed trad 67m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 17th Mar 2019
A good exercise in rope management for a party of 3! Was more mentally challenging than technically difficult. Awesome little adventure.
	19	★★★ Quo Vadis	Mixed trad 33m, 1	Arapiles		Mon 4th Jun 2012

Cool climb, good warm up for the trip. We managed to sort of miss the start despite what should be an easy abseil in. Also missed the new shiny bolt on the traverse pitch.
	21	★★ English Ethics - with thara	Mixed trad 15m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 3rd May 2015
Exciting traverse, I could just reach the crimp from the start. Good face climbing. Interesting way to get on
	18	★★ Jens roof	Mixed trad 30m, 1	Arapiles	Average	Sat 5th Sep 2015
Fun move in the roof but the rest is pretty average
	21	★★★ Kachoong	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 5th Apr 2014
very happy to get the onsight , trying place gear once on the roof wasn't my best idea.
	15	★ What Ethics? - with Chris Harper	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Mount Buffalo	Average	Mon 30th Mar 2015
Nice little number, not as straight forward as it looks
	16	★★ Wishful Thinking	Mixed trad 21m, 1	Camels Hump	★★ Very Good	Sun 27th Jan 2019
	20	★★★ Blimp	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Classic	Sat 25th Mar 2017
Ended being stupidly pumped at the top before the traverse. Really Nice corner.
	21 20	★★★ Blimp	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Classic	Sat 20th Oct 2012
awesome climb, rested twice because I got a bit scared, need to jump on it again

weird crux
	21	★ Blasphemy - with thara	Mixed trad 15m, 1	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 3rd May 2015
Thin gear. Committed to the wrong sequence at the crux. Cool move at the top
	21 20	★★ Pilot Error	Mixed trad 12m, 1	Arapiles	★ Good	Thu 10th May 2012
Rested on the bolt
	18	★★ Beowulf - with Chris Harper	Trad 20m	Mount Buffalo	★ Good	Mon 30th Mar 2015
Easier if you don't have to place the gear

Feel on the slippery start, good to set your head straight

missed the belay on the first pitch, but good fun beside the last crappy pitch.
	16	★★ Yo Yo	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★ Good	Thu 11th Aug 2011
Retreated from the first crux pitch after a big fall.
	16	★★ Yo Yo	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 1st Sep 2013
Led the first 16 pitch, clean this time. we did the left crack variant at grade 18. Thin but interesting climbing.
	19	★★ The Desired 1 19 lead by sean 2 17 lead by Gaetan	Trad 60m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 5th Oct 2013
hard to read, but the move are ok, second pitch hard for 17
	18	★★ Creon - Tales of Brave Ulysses 1 17 lead by Gaetan 2 18 lead by Sean	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 5th Oct 2013
Great first pitch, not as slabby as I expected. 2nd pitch business finish too soon

Good fun and good warm up , the last pitch is a bit awkward to climb
	18	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Sean	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond		Wed 27th Feb 2013
Off hand for me, felt quite insecure, great climb though.
	18	★★★ Skink	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 6th Oct 2012
Lead the last pitch , long and enjoyable. I feel it's possibly harder than the 3rd pitch
	16 16 R	★★★ Brolga	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 20th Aug 2011
Linked the first two pitches, quite an interesting climb.That was my first 16 !
	12	★★ Panzer	Trad 95m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 16th Apr 2011
One of my first lead on the watch tower face, the top pitch is awesome
	11	★★ The Bishop	Trad 50m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 21st Nov 2010
Took on the second pitch as my first lead, scary exposure
	18	★★ Transatlantic Crossing	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 8th Jun 2013
Led the second pitch with the roof crack, awesome fun
	18 17	★★★ Oceanoid	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 12th Oct 2012
Lead the first pitch, great route. Looking from the bottom it seems everything is facing the wrong way
	12	★★★ Bard	Trad 120m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 10th Aug 2011
		Cadenza Direct	Trad 18m	Arapiles	Average	Sun 6th Apr 2014
fun to practice aid on, we did in two pitches as I wasn't keen on aiding the 28 bit, looked really small
	20 M1	★★ Technical Ecstasy 1 16 M1 lead by Gaetan 2 20 lead by Thara 3 16 lead by Gaetan	Trad 90m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★ Good	Sun 7th Dec 2014
Used it as an aid practice climb (not the best choice), but ended up freeing most of it
	21	★★ The Status Quo 1 lead by Thara 2 lead by Gaetan 3 lead by Thara	Trad 96m	Mount Buffalo	★★★ Classic	Thu 11th Dec 2014
First pitch (left variant) not great, maybe the right variant is better. Second pitch is an awesome sustained corner. we cleaned the grass so it's quite nice now, but still a bit mossy. Found the last pitch hard for the grade, compared to the other 21 I did at buffalo (maybe 22?) This pitch is still a bit grassy, but there is now a stuck nut above the last belay. Great route though.
	19	★★★ Stud City - with thara 1 17 lead by Thara 2 19 lead by Gaetan 3 19 lead by Thara	Trad 100m	Freycinet National Park	★★★ Classic	Tue 3rd Feb 2015
Nice Journey, fell off the second pitch due to wet shoe. Fell off the third pitch on second, due to runnel/crack being wet. We mostly climb the slab on the right for the third pitch.
	18	★★★ Digitalis 1 lead by Thara 2 lead by Gaetan	Trad 62m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Sun 8th Feb 2015
Great climb, did the direct finish as it's the logical line.
	21	★★★ Tartarus - with thara	Trad 60m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Mon 9th Feb 2015
Did it in 2 pitches. 1st one is good fun with various jamming and bridging. 2 second one felt desperate, the overhanging groove is hard, rested on gear a bit.
	18	★★★ Caligula - with Chris Harper 1 lead by Gaetan 2 lead by Chris	Trad 60m	Mount Buffalo	★★★ Classic	Mon 30th Mar 2015
Good old school wide crack and awesome position. Had to rest on the rope on the second pitch to get the #4 out, looks like it had walked in. Did all the move clean though.
	15	★★★ Pagoda Variant	Trad 100m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Tue 7th Apr 2015
Awesome feature to climb, although the traverse pitch is not well protected. The 3rd pitch felt like crack climbing in Araps
	15	★ Thor	Trad 98m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sun 12th Apr 2015
First pitch maybe a bit stiff at the grade, or maybe that was just me not used to Moonarie yet. Chains at the top of 1st picth
	16	★★ Asimov	Trad 70m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Mon 6th Apr 2015
Nice 1st pitch if you stop at the goldfinger chains you'll miss the nice taipanesk scoops. We skipped the last pitch and escaped on the right.
	13	★★ Garden Refuse Removed Cheaply	Trad 120m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Apr 2015
Great corner climb, the 3rd pitch as a hard move for a 9 !
	12	★★★ Nervine	Trad 120m	Moonarie	★ Good	Wed 8th Apr 2015
The middle pitch are really nice. the 4th one has some uninviting looking rock, I went left before moving back in the main line, at grade 13-14
	15	★★★ Hangover Layback	Trad 90m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Fri 10th Apr 2015
Consistent good climbing all the way. The hand traverse is awesome
	17	★★ Rush	Trad 60m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Tue 7th Apr 2015
Great first pitch, the roof is easier than it looks. 2nd pitch more awkward than hard. Enjoyed making my own pitch to get out.
	14 15	★★★ Debutante	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★ Good	Sat 29th Mar 2014
Nice intro to climbing at Rosea, lead the 3rd pitch and messed up my 2 ropes and got heaps of drag ...
	17	★★★ Heretic	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Sun 30th Mar 2014
Linked pitch 1 and 2. I really loved pitch 4 on great orange rock.
	15 16	★★ Arab	Trad 110m	Arapiles	Average	Sun 22nd Nov 2015
Nice outing to finish the week-end.
	20	★★ Stormbringer-Rapier Combo - with Sean Ladiges	Trad 48m	South-Eastern Grampians	★★ Very Good	Sun 29th Jan 2017
Loose block at the start, we tip toed around the left to get established on the Stormbringer crack. Lead the second pitch, awesome corner crack. Watch out for a loose looking block when exiting the steep first part of the second pitch. Last pitch is a bit committing on lead but short and powerful. We added some cord to the rap tree. Bring some extra sling/cord for the rap, as the existing tat is old and shouldn't be trusted.
	20	★★★ The Lonely Sea - with sean	Trad 50m	South-Eastern Grampians	★★★ Classic	Sat 28th Jan 2017
Avoid yanking on the chalked (??) loose block in the middle of the first pitch. Great second pitch, did it yoyo style. Lead it to the top after Sean handed me the lead. Tricky wide section. Rap anchor is on the left when topping out.
	16	★★★ Basilisk Direct Finish	Trad 50m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Classic	Sat 25th Mar 2017
Such an outrageous climb. And of course I got to lead the roof pitch
	16	★★ Saracen - with Tom	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 16th Mar 2019
Shame the first pitch is a bit meh in sections. Nice outing in the shade.
	21	★★★ Silk And Satin	Trad 25m	Mount Buffalo	★★ Very Good	Sun 26th Jan 2014
awesome corner crack, sustained
	15	★★ Quartz Route Variant	Trad	Mount Buffalo	★ Good	Sun 18th Mar 2012
There is know an abseil line, no need to bushwack down like we did.Great climb , the quartz pitch is awesome
	17	★★★ Where Angels Fear to Tread (Where Angels Fear to Tread Direct Finish)	Trad 230m	Mount Buffalo	★★★ Classic	Wed 24th Apr 2013
Lead the first pitch and the offwith one. Great day out, we were just a bit slow due 3 people team and rope shinnanigans.
	16	★ Jason	Trad 30m	Arapiles		Sat 9th Jun 2012

interesting start, sustained climbing. We spit it in two pitches
	18	★★ King Rat	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 7th Apr 2012
Need to do it on lead now the interesting bit is too short
	18	★★★ Amen Corner	Trad 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 23rd Dec 2012
great corner climb with a bit of offwith thrown in
	18	★★ Golden Echo	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 5th Apr 2014
