17 | ★★ The Pulpit - with Richard Flinn | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Thinkier than expected, with good rock. A quality line at the grade.
|
|||||||
21 | ★★ Thor's Hammer - with Richard Flinn | 14m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
An excellent jamBing and stemming problem. Climbs more like a trad line.
|

Wed 23rd Jun 2021 - The Altar | |||||||
19 | ★ Catholic Girls - with Richard Flinn | 8m, 4 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
20 | ★ Hindu Love Gods - with Richard Flinn | 11m, 5 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Loved the flared hand jam/heel hook combo at the top!
|
|||||||
21 | ★★ Randall the Horny Clergyman - with Richard Flinn | 11m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Another excellent micro route at this gem of a crag.
|
|||||||
24 | ★★ Altared - with Richard Flinn | 12m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Very difficult to read on the onsight attempt, but went down easily second go. Pretty bloody committing above the second bolt!
|
|||||||
27 | ★★ McChurch - with Richard Flinn | 9m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Super enjoyable movement going up the right side of the overhang, which is certainly easier than the advertised grade. Nevertheless, it's good quality and still packs a punch. Likely earns you 25 points this way.
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Rasta's Revolution - with Richard Flinn | 11m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | 1 | |||
I daresay this route deserves 3 stars, despite its diminutive stature. Unlikely, contorted movement makes this one a cracker!
|
|||||||
Wed 16th Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
Angel Face | |||||||
21 | ★★ Release The Wombats - with Richard Flinn | 13m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Great warmup, serves up a bit of everything.
|
|||||||
Wed 16th Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
Winter Wall | |||||||
20 | ★★ Naughty But Nice - with Richard Flinn | 16m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Sustained and continuously good for the grade.
|
|||||||
Tue 15th Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
The Alcove | |||||||
25 | ★★ Mt Pleasant Butcher | 14m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Climbed through the crux easily second go, but still had to concentrate at the top. Quite a good route notwithstanding the glue.
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Liposuction | 12m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Steeper than it looks, just like pulling plastic in the gym 🦾

The Keep | |||||||
21 | ★ Keepless - with Richard Flinn | 20m, 6 | Average | 1 | |||
Although the moves off the ledge through to the 3rd bolt are interesting, this route is marred by the fact that it is quite contrived, especially the top half where it would be silly to avoid the ledges out left. Served as a warmup in any case.
|
|||||||
25 | ★★★ Reincarnation - with Richard Flinn | 20m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | 1 | |||
Managed to get it done second shot. This line serves up stonking stemming stances from bottom to top, with a bit of power and spice thrown in. Would be perfect I daresay once the holds (which to be fair are only 10 years old) clean up.
|
|||||||
Wed 9th Jun 2021 - Cattlestop Crag | |||||||
Surgical Strike Wall | |||||||
21 | Group Grope - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | Average | 1 | |||
Unremarkable climbing, sharp and dirty.
|
|||||||
24 | ★★ Gutless Wonder - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Zero stars?? IMO this must be one of the better lines at Cattlestop. The glued hold is somewhat off putting, but the moves are good fun.
|
|||||||
Wed 9th Jun 2021 - Cattlestop Crag | |||||||
Solar Wall | |||||||
22 | ★ Space Dust - with Richard Flinn | 8m, 3 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Well that was a humbling experience! Probably the only time it’s ever taken me 3 go’s to tick the grade. Apparently my slab technique has fully oxidised!
|
|||||||
Wed 9th Jun 2021 - Cattlestop Crag | |||||||
Shimmering Jelly Wall | |||||||
22 | ★ Intelligent Design - with Richard Flinn | 12m, 3 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Barely independent of SJ, but worth doing.
|
|||||||
20 | ★★ Shimmering Jelly - with Richard Flinn | 12m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Quite nice, crimpy climbing that feels longer than it is. One of the longest routes at the crag, with perhaps the fewest bolts.
|
|||||||
19 | ★ Dead Possum - with Richard Flinn | 14m, 4 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Decent boulder problem warm up.
|
|||||||
Sat 5th Jun 2021 - Cattlestop Crag | |||||||
Dwarf Wall | |||||||
24 | ★ Plop - with Richard Flinn | 10m, 3 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Better than expected roped boulder problem, but oh so sharp! Single bolt anchor.
|
|||||||
Sat 5th Jun 2021 - Cattlestop Crag | |||||||
Surgical Strike Wall | |||||||
20 | ★★ Violet Crumble - with Richard Flinn | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Decent warmup, but not very interesting after the first couple of bolts.
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Passage To India - with Richard Flinn | 13m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
A bit wandery, but with good movement throughout.
|
|||||||
22 | ★★ Cattle Prod - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Definitely harder than the grade suggests. More like 23-24 IMO, but only for a move or two. Consistently good to the top.
|
|||||||
20 | ★ Satanic Verses - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 3 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Run out start on jugs with a slopey finish.
|
|||||||
Thu 3rd Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
Winter Wall | |||||||
22 | ★★ Quake Effect | 16m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
A bit tweaky on the fingers for the warm up! Fell figuring out the sequence at the 1st, lowered and sent. More sustained than many other routes here, which is welcome!
|
|||||||
Thu 3rd Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
Tiger Wall | |||||||
24 | ★ Pleasant Point | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | 1 | |||
Hung at the 1st before figuring out the sequence, fired it from the ground second go. Listed as a 24 in the Burnell guide, which seems right.
|
|||||||
Thu 3rd Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
Legends Wall | |||||||
22 | ★ Get To Grips | 12m, 4 | Average | 1 | |||
Another line with a classy, thin crux that gives way to mank.
|
|||||||
24 | ★ Face Plant | 18m, 6 | Average | 1 | |||
Good, crimpy moves quickly deteriorate to a dirty ramble.
|
|||||||
Thu 3rd Jun 2021 - Britten Crag | |||||||
The Roofs | |||||||
23 | ★★ WYSIWYG | 15m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | 1 | |||
Nearly everything was seeping massively today, so choices were limited. Fortunately, this line delivered with some great bouldery moves.
