19 When the Levee Breaks - with oliver kerr Mixed trad 20m, 4 Point Perpendicular Classic Sat 3rd Nov 2018
Really awesome and sustained climbing - got quite pumpy towards the end. I reckon I've never put so much fight into a climb but it was so worth it!

 
18 Sacred Site - with oliver kerr Mixed trad 30m, 2 Fortescue Bay Mega Classic Mon 14th Jan 2019
Flipping amazing! Such fantastic climbing and so scenic - well worth the hike out there. My tip is to get up before dawn and hike out as the sun rises so you have the least windy conditions.

 
18 Jens Roof - with oliver kerr, Neve, bridie Mixed trad 30m, 1 Arapiles Mega Classic Wed 24th Apr 2019
Bloody fantastic!

 
10 11 Eagle Cleft - with oliver kerr, Neve, bridie Trad 120m Arapiles Classic Mon 22nd Apr 2019
Love this every time and I think it's totally underrated - should be three stars!

 
17 Dirge - with oliver kerr Trad 85m Arapiles Mega Classic Tue 24th Apr 2018
A really lovely, fun climb (only did first pitch). Worth three stars in my eyes

 
14 Faki - with oliver kerr Trad 13m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 8th Jul 2018
Loved this! A lot of grunt went into it but it was fantastic because of it!

 
15 Bad Company - with oliver kerr Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 8th Jul 2018
This was excellent! A lot of hard work but very rewarding!

 
15 Iron Butterfly - with oliver kerr Trad 28m Frog Buttress Good Mon 9th Jul 2018
Well that was desperate. Haha but still a good'un

 
12 Witches Cauldron Pitch 1 - with oliver kerr Trad 12m Frog Buttress Mon 9th Jul 2018
A great climb but I felt sorry for that poor tree anchor - it didn't do anything to deserve this - it was just growing in the wrong place at the wrong time!

 
16 Satan's Smokestack - with oliver kerr Trad 40m Frog Buttress Classic Wed 11th Jul 2018
Fuck. A desperate fight. Pretty sure I stopped at least 3 times and declared I had nothing left. Somehow, someway, I clambored on and was birthed out the top an absolute mess.

It completely destroyed me for the rest of the day.

Best. Climb. Ever.

 
15 13 Mr. Bojangles - with oliver kerr Trad 15m Frog Buttress Classic Fri 13th Jul 2018
This deserves way more than just 1 star! It's an absolute ripper from start to finish - such fun and with some really great moves - I loved every minute climbing this!

Having said that, I reckon this would be best done as a take-everything-with-you-and-walk-off-the-top type of route as it's a bit of an adventure to get to and a bit messy to rap off.

 
14 Electric Lead - with oliver kerr Trad 26m Frog Buttress Good Thu 12th Jul 2018
A nice climb up the corner with a tricky move or two.

 
16 The Moai Escape (The Moai Eascape.) - with oliver kerr Trad 60m Fortescue Bay Very Good Mon 14th Jan 2019
Fuck off the first pitch is not a 12. I was swearing like a trooper and only just holding on the whole way up. It was messy, loose, scrambley crap and it was hard. Made the 18 on the Moai seem an absolute breeze.

The second pitch, though was FANTASTIC! Spot on at 16 and well worth more than one star - great climbing! Pity I had to bother with the first pitch to get there

 
12 Ballyhoo - with oliver kerr Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Good Wed 16th Jan 2019
An interesting introduction to Freycinet - I enjoyed this little climb very much but there are a hard couple of moves. I'd add a grade or two if you're a shorty like me!

 
13 Artemus - with oliver kerr Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Good Wed 16th Jan 2019
Like Ballyhoo next to it, this is a fun little piece of climbing but with some tricky and committing moves if you're short - add a grade or two I reckon.

 
13 Artemus - with oliver kerr Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Good Wed 16th Jan 2019
Like Ballyhoo next to it, this is a fun little piece of climbing but with some tricky and committing moves if you're short - add a grade or two I reckon.

 
15 Cordon Bleu - with oliver kerr Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Very Good Wed 16th Jan 2019
Turns out they don't give away 15s here. This was hard and committing. Needed a few good foot jams and there was definitely a knee jam somewhere in there too. Great climbing but much harder than I expected!

 
12 Apline - with oliver kerr Trad 70m Freycinet National Park Mega Classic Thu 17th Jan 2019
WOW! If I could give this 4 stars I would! This was awesome fun climbing - I could not wipe the grin off my face for hours afterwards. If you haven't jumped on this, get on it - it's just so fun!

 
18 16 Basilisk Direct Finish - with oliver kerr Trad 50m Bundaleer Area Classic Thu 18th Apr 2019
Fuck. I don't have words to describe this but I'll try... An amazing juggy fun but of climbing slowly turns into a fucking epic adventure of grunting, pushing and fear. Enjoy the jug-fest until the old rusty carrot bolt for it won't last. After that, strap yourself in for a very difficult finish up and through the 'roof'. If by roof you mean fucking epic squeeze chimney with spikes to get all your gear caught on. And if you have hips, keep them clear of the roof and then slide them through sideways otherwise you might get stuck. Don't say I didn't warn you.

 
15 Resignation Trad 96m Arapiles Classic Fri 19th Apr 2019
The plan was to do Kaiser-Resignation but the Easter crowds resigned us (haha) to Resignation alone. But I'm so glad that happened - it was such a fabulous romp!! The end of the second pitch was a bit difficult but the exciting 3rd pitch was seriously awesome! Lovely jugs on an exposed overhanging cliff this was just so much fun! Highly recommend!

 
18 13 Ivan - with oliver kerr Trad 14m Arapiles Good Fri 19th Apr 2019
Well this was a sandbag and a half. Couldn't get off the ground in the corner so took the finger width seam on the right and some dubious feet instead. Sustained and interesting 3D climbing - this would be a classic if given an adequate grade (18!).

 
11 Blockbuster - with oliver kerr Trad 30m Arapiles Good Fri 19th Apr 2019
Good, interesting climbing and a great view from the top!

 
10 Syrinx - with oliver kerr Trad 170m Arapiles Very Good Sat 20th Apr 2019
Nice climbing in the sun. The first and third pitches were a little tricky but the juggy traversey finale is a show-stopper!

 
16 Kamikaze - with oliver kerr Trad 20m Arapiles Good Sat 20th Apr 2019
The sequence through the middle is committing but super fun, then out the jugs to freedom!

 
13 Sob Story - with oliver kerr Trad 16m Arapiles Good Sun 21st Apr 2019
A thought-provoking little jaunt up the wailing Wall. Definitely worth a star for enjoyable climbing!

 
14 Strife on the Gravy Train - with oliver kerr Trad 25m Arapiles Very Good Sun 21st Apr 2019
Very enjoyable climbing! A tricky scramble down the back though.

 
13 13 R Rush of Blood - with Neve, bridie, oliver kerr Trad 18m Arapiles Good Mon 22nd Apr 2019
Interesting slabby climbing and worth a star or two.

 
18 Jeckle - with Neve, bridie, oliver kerr Trad 18m Arapiles Good Mon 22nd Apr 2019
Some tricky moves up this slab - some high feet helped get me through!

 
9 9 R Arachnus Variant (Minerva) - with oliver kerr, Neve, bridie Trad 110m Arapiles Classic Tue 23rd Apr 2019
Fantastic climbing - at the crux I tend right to get to some easier holds.

 
14 Tremulo - with bridie, Neve, oliver kerr Trad 25m Arapiles Good Wed 24th Apr 2019
Some tricky moves made this feel harder than a 14 should - the sun on my back probably made it worse. Fun nonetheless!

 
15 Bad Blues - with oliver kerr Trad 22m Frog Buttress Good Wed 17th Jul 2019
I liked this!

 
12 Witches Cauldron Pitch 1 - with oliver kerr Trad 12m Frog Buttress Good Fri 19th Jul 2019
Done it before but still just as good!

 
17 16 Micron - with oliver kerr Trad 20m Frog Buttress Good Fri 19th Jul 2019
Good but bloody challenging for a shortie in the baking sun!

18 Slip, Snap, Splash. - with oliver kerr, Dave Hoyle Sport 30m, 15 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Sun 9th Jun 2019
Best 18 I've ever done. Fun and interesting climbing the whole way. Worth three stars!

 
19 Gun Barrel Highway - with oliver kerr Sport 25m, 10 Nowra Very Good Sun 1st Jul 2018
Noice! Haha classic climb, sustained but always interesting. Some reachy moves for a shortass like me but good fun nonetheless

 
18 Wasp in the Willows - with oliver kerr Sport 25m, 10 New Nowra - Braidwood Road Classic Sun 11th Nov 2018
This is a super fun and interesting climb! I'll definitely be climbing this one again!

 
18 Isengard - with oliver kerr Sport 23m, 9 Nowra Classic Sat 31st Mar 2018
A classic and super fun climb! With Oliver and Neve

 
19 Alien Space Monsters - with oliver kerr Sport 25m, 9 Nowra Classic Sun 10th Jun 2018
A fantastic climb but getting onto the start was so tough - I just couldn't reach the jug. Finally got it and did the route. Pretty sure I added an extra crux as I missed the easy holds on the arete!

 
18 Depleted Gonad Circumference - with oliver kerr Sport 20m, 9 Nowra Classic Sun 10th Jun 2018
Love this climb! It started raining as I was halfway up and my foot slipped a bit but grit and determination got me through

 
18 Bombtrack - with oliver kerr Sport 24m, 9 Nowra Good Mon 11th Jun 2018
A tricky start leads to fantastic climbing and a fun arete to the finish. The masses of vegetation only add to the adventure!

 
18 Hello Dolly - with oliver kerr Sport 30m, 9 Point Perpendicular Classic Sat 3rd Nov 2018
Absolute classic! Loved every moment!

 
18 Depleted Gonad Circumference - with oliver kerr, Neve, bridie Sport 20m, 9 Nowra Classic Sat 13th Apr 2019
An absolute classic every time!This time at the reachy section I held the large rock jug with both hands, got my right foot up high and turned and reached up with my right hand - felt super smooth!

 
18 Bombtrack - with oliver kerr Sport 24m, 9 Nowra Good Sun 30th Jun 2019
Good fun every time. Once you get through the tricky start, the rest is juggy fun!

 
18 Orca - with oliver kerr Sport 25m, 8 Nowra Classic Sat 19th May 2018
Fantastic and with a super fun start. End was a bit lame though.

 
18 Lucy Can't Dance - with oliver kerr Sport 22m, 8 Nowra Good Sun 1st Jul 2018
Nice start and a fun juggy bit at the end. Could skip the whole middle though as it was slabby and unmemorable.

 
19 Vanderholics - with oliver kerr Sport 25m, 8 Nowra Classic Wed 4th Jul 2018
Love this route but the end of it was my nemesis for a while. Finally nailed it today!

 
18 Orca - with oliver kerr, neve bridie, neve, bridie Sport 25m, 8 Nowra Classic Sun 17th Feb 2019
This is such a classic - love it every time!

 
18 Diddy Kong - with bridie, Neve, oliver kerr Sport 24m, 8 Nowra Classic Sun 31st Mar 2019
A fantastic climb at the grade - loved every moment of this though there were definitely a few reachy moves before the juggy finish.

 
17 Burning Jowls - with oliver kerr Sport 18m, 8 Blue Mountains Good Sat 8th Jun 2019
Good climbing with a slightly tricky/reachy first move.

 
15 Mossy Climb RHV Sport 22m, 7 Nowra Crap Sat 19th May 2018
1 star? Fuck off! Pretty lame even as a warm up. Wouldn't bother with it again.

 
17 Butt Head - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 7 Nowra Very Good Sun 30th Jun 2019
Good, fun climbing and a great warm-up

 
15 Santa's Little Helper - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Very Good Mon 28th May 2018
A lovely warm-up with a tricky move above the cave.

 
17 Hang On - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Very Good Mon 28th May 2018
A great climb with a lot of rooves. I didn't bridge around the second roof but did a high right foot to get up and over. Fantastic climbing!

 
18 Gina Hardface - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Good Sun 18th Nov 2018
A great little climb - interesting all the way with a tricky finish. I shoved my leg in the crack to do the last move.

 
20 Beavis - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Very Good Sun 18th Nov 2018
Great balancey slab climbing with a fun juggy finish!

 
18 Sanitize Review Pitch 1 (We Don't Like Slopes Pitch 1) - with oliver kerr Sport 25m, 6 Bundaleer Area Very Good Thu 18th Apr 2019
I really enjoyed this! We got on it not knowing what it was and it started out a bit tricky but opened out into a fantastic jug-fest from the 2nd bolt on.

 
18 The Bandoline Grip - with oliver kerr Sport 18m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Sat 8th Jun 2019
Interesting crimpy slab climbing - worth a star.

 
15 Santa's Little Helper - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Very Good Sun 30th Jun 2019
Lots of fun!

 
17 L'Arch - with oliver kerr Sport 16m, 5 Nowra Classic Sun 10th Jun 2018
This was my second ever attempt and I got it! Lovely climbing and worth three stars not two!

 
17 L'Arch - with oliver kerr Sport 16m, 5 Nowra Classic Sun 22nd Jul 2018
Love this every time! Such a fun climb

 
15 Sirius Black - with oliver kerr Sport 12m, 5 Nowra Very Good Sat 24th Nov 2018
Woo! My first 15 lead! This was fantastic climbing at the grade and worth more than one star

 
16 Revelation Six Sixteen - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 5 Hillwood (private land) Good Mon 21st Jan 2019
I really liked this route. Interesting climbing and very different from what I'm used to.

 
22 Uncertainty Pleasure - with oliver kerr Sport 8m, 5 Nowra Classic Sun 19th May 2019
Woohoo - my first 22! So happy I got this today as I really didn't feel like it was gonna happen. Spent a while re-working out the beta (changed it up with lower feet after the third bolt rather than hooking my foot in above), lowered off and then did it clean. So happy!

 
17 Moshpit - with oliver kerr Sport 15m, 5 Nowra Good Thu 11th Jul 2019
This was fun with some tricky moves towards the finish.

 
17 Space Trucken - with oliver kerr, Neve, Mark, Clare Sport 10m, 4 Mount Keira Average Sat 28th Jul 2018
A bit short, reachy and thin but otherwise ok

 
17 Psycho Hose Beast - with oliver kerr Sport 10m, 4 Nowra Good Sat 23rd Mar 2019
Wow. This was pumpy and hard. Not the warmup I was hoping for. I don't think I've ever worked so hard and been so pumped on a sport 17. Enjoyable though!

 
18 Gosling - with oliver kerr, Dave Hoyle Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Sun 9th Jun 2019
Tricky first move with a loose block that I had to avoid. Good climbing though.

 
19 Worm On A Razor - with oliver kerr Sport 30m Nowra Mega Classic Sun 6th May 2018
Such an adventure! The name truly says it all. So. Much. Fun!

 
18 Everything But The Wasp - with oliver kerr, Dennis Mitchell Sport 25m Nowra Good Sun 20th May 2018
An interesting climb but probably overrated at two stars. Beware of stupid messy rusty anchor setup - don't thread the chain.

 
17 Bullwinkle - with oliver kerr Sport 15m Nowra Very Good Mon 11th Jun 2018
Nice little climb with some tricky moves but a bit dirty. Rain came in as I reached the anchors which made it a bit slippery too.

 
18 Everything But The Wasp - with oliver kerr Sport 25m Nowra Very Good Sun 1st Jul 2018
Love this climb every time! Went past the top to the quick clip anchors this time. Nailed it!

 
11 Lucifer - with oliver kerr Sport 15m Nowra Average Wed 4th Jul 2018
Woohoo! My first lead climb! Lots of fun

 
20 Spinning Blades of Steel - with oliver kerr, Dave Hoyle Sport 9m Nowra Classic Sun 22nd Jul 2018
Wow I had to really fight for it but the peanut gallery spurred me on. Fucking awesome!

 
15 Sour Grapes - with oliver kerr Sport 8m Nowra Good Sun 2nd Sep 2018
A tricky little climb that's hard for the grade - especially if your hands are too narrow for the crack!

 
18 Love From The Planet Pulse - with oliver kerr Sport 20m Nowra Very Good Sun 9th Sep 2018
I really enjoyed this - a great mix of climbing and heaps of fun! Could do with a bit of a clean though.

 
19 Jester - with oliver kerr Sport 20m Nowra Very Good Sun 9th Sep 2018
After messing about around the last two draws I finally worked out that going right and grabbing the side of the arete was the way to go. Love this one so much!

 
13 Wingardium Leviosa - with oliver kerr Sport 12m Nowra Very Good Sat 24th Nov 2018
Fun little climb with an awkward move out from the cave.

 
19 Chopper Chicks From Zombie Town - with oliver kerr Sport 14m Nowra Very Good Sun 25th Nov 2018
Super stoked to get this! Despite having done harder graded routes I reckon this is the hardest thing I've ever climbed. It definitely felt undergraded at 19. I loved it though - very thing, delicate climbing and well worth a star or two.

 
12 Climbing Date - with oliver kerr Sport 8m Hillwood (private land) Very Good Mon 21st Jan 2019
Fabulous route for lead practise!

 
20 Spinning Blades of Steel - with oliver kerr, Neve, bridie Sport 9m Nowra Classic Sat 13th Apr 2019
Woohoo! My first lead 20. Love this route so much every time! Absolute classic!

 
18 Love From The Planet Pulse - with oliver kerr Sport 20m Nowra Very Good Sun 26th May 2019
For some reason I thought I didn't tick this last time but apparently I did. Such great climbing though it was definitely worth doing again!

 
21 Rodent From Rigel - with oliver kerr Sport 17m Nowra Very Good Sun 26th May 2019
Got this on my second attempt - really awesome thin slabby climbing with some tricky moves! Worth a couple of stars I reckon.

 
20 Nude Tuesday - with oliver kerr Sport 20m Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 10th Jun 2019
This is 21 in the guide but I reckon probably closer to 19/20. The starting move is hard if you're short (popped my wrist out trying to reach the hold) but after that it's pretty easy fun slabby climbing.

 
17 Woderwick - with oliver kerr Sport 15m Nowra Very Good Sat 22nd Jun 2019
Very enjoyable climbing! I did a direct start skipping the cave.

 
15 Sour Grapes - with oliver kerr Sport 8m Nowra Good Sun 30th Jun 2019
Lots of fun and it made my hands bleed!
