Sun 16th Apr 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
20 Changes Sport 20m Good
Pull kinda hard on little holds. Not as good as Low. Maybe an alzheimer's, not really sure.

 
22 Low Sport 20m Very Good
Really cool rock, really fun moves. Maybe an alzheimer's, but I don't remember.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper War Babies Wall
24 Easy Form One Lane Sport 22m
Flash attempt, kind of close, but didn't get my feet high enough. Fun climb.

 
Sat 15th Apr 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
17 Burning Jowls Sport 18m, 8
Climbing with the Fam, bit hard for the kids though, maybe when they're taller.

Sat 15th Apr 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grand Junction Wall
23 Weak as I am Sport 22m, 13 Classic
Oh my, crazy anxiety, maybe because the kids were almost losing it at the end of the day. But, climbed it much better than last time, and none of it felt too hard.

22 Lardy Lady's Lats - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 25m, 13 Classic
Felt easy for some reason. Fun.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grand Junction Wall
23 Weak as I am - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 22m, 13 Classic
Onsight attempt, climbed soooo badly for the first few bolts, then went the wrong way up high and climbed myself into a corner. Got out, but too pumped to think.

 
Wed 12th Apr 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Ikara, Victorialand, Odin Head, Thor Head Wade's World
20 Sleepwalking - with Astrid Mixed trad 33m, 9 Classic
Brilliant climbing in a spectacular location. The orange upper section of the wall is superb. Rather pumpy also.

Rescuing some gear that was left behind after the incident with the tree.

 
Sun 29th Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Hip Shake Jerk Area
23 Back Hand Tosser Sport 12m Good
Clipped the first bolt from the tree, then followed the arete while reaching across to clip the bolts. Was actually quite fun, and looked stupid contrived and ugly to not use the arete.

 
Sun 29th Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Junket Pumper Area
24 Junket Pumper — 2 attempts Sport 15m Very Good
Humid and scared.

 
Fri 27th Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Adults Only Cave
24 Easy A Most Profligate Sinner — 3 attempts Sport 18m Very Good
Cool climb! Specific hand beta got me through the crux since I'm weak. And my beta wouldn't work if you're shorter.

23 22 Lardy Lady's Lats - with Kirsty Sport 25m, 13 Classic
Was supposed to be my warm up, but felt much harder than expected.

 
23 22 Lardy Lady's Lats - with Kirsty Sport 25m, 13 Classic
Desperate at the crux, but somehow managed to hold on.

22 Seamstress Sport 22m, 10 Mega Classic
22 Seamstress Sport 22m, 10 Mega Classic
Someone amputated my hands and replaced them with dead fish. End of the day exhausted, fell off one move from the anchor after a long fight.

 
25 The Dreaming Void Sport 29m, 12 Very Good
Sooo cool, onsight to the ledge, a few rests above.

 
25 The Dreaming Void Sport 29m, 12 Very Good
Tried an experiment at the crux, it didn't work. Was the only rest, so very doable for next time.

Tue 25th May 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Big Top
23 Vertical Smile Sport 30m Classic
Felt more than a grade harder than 3 Buttocks. Really nice sequence small holds, but got pumped stupid.

 
22 I've Got 3 Buttocks Sport 30m Very Good
Faffed around getting the third bolt on, but should have just been brave and climbed past, it's not that hard, and muuuuch nicer. Decently spaced and pumpy up higher. Quite cool and was proud to get the onsight, had to work for it.

 
Thu 8th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Self Portrait Wall
23 Chook Lotto - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
No worries at the start, went too high before traversing, but was struggling badly by that point anyway.

 
23 Chook Lotto - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
With better beta it felt really fun and relatively easy.

 
Thu 8th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
25 Padington Sport 12m Very Good
A fall and a few takes. The crimpy section isn't as hard as I expected, but will of course be harder on the link.

 
25 Padington Sport 12m Very Good
Fell at the second bolt, seemed to work better matching on the poor crimps and keeping feet below instead of to the side.

 
Thu 8th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Fashion Area
21 Queen Bitch - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 15m Very Good
Steeper and harder than expected, but very cool climbing. Write a sting in the tail.

 
23 Fashion - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 15m, 7 Classic
Super stylish.

 
24 Work Injury - with Anthony Cuskelly Sport 15m, 7 Very Good

24 Pluck-a-Duck - with Oliver Kloiber-Deane Sport 22m, 10 Classic
Fell at the last bolt, did some crazy weirdness and amazed I managed to hold on through the thinness in the middle. Sweet climb.

19 Jack High - with Kirsty Sport 20m Very Good
21 Girly Germs - with Kirsty Sport 15m Very Good
23 Sexy Mexi - with Kirsty Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
More fun thinness. Run out to the second. Not too hard.

 
23 A Streaker Named Desire - with Kirsty Sport 25m, 13 Classic
Got pumped, messed up my feet and fell off. It was a silly mistake, but I probably wouldn't have gotten to the anchors anyway.

 
23 A Streaker Named Desire - with Kirsty Sport 25m, 13 Classic
Longer than a boulder problem! Really good. Long, pumpy face climbing!

Mount Victoria Area Mount York Ashes to Ashes Area
25 Ashes to Ashes Sport 18m, 7 Mega Classic
Holy Moley, had to rest on every bolt, and couldn't work do 2 sections at all. Felt super hard for 25. But really really cool and varied climbing.

 
25 Ashes to Ashes Sport 18m, 7 Mega Classic
Very glad I got back on. Clean except for the dyno which I couldn't stick, and an exhausted fall at the top.

Pleased to read that it used to head out left at the blankness, which should be a much more reasonable for me.

 
Sun 23rd Apr 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
17 Stormy Monday Sport 18m
17 Good Fortune Sport 18m
Tricky start for some.

 
Sun 23rd Apr 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Gateway, Doomsday & Fort Rock Gateway
24 The Amateur Sport 12m Classic
Sweet steep climbing. I don't have enough oomph to onsight. One fall at the steepest bit/crux, definitely worth coming back for.

 
Sun 23rd Apr 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
25 Ernest in Africa Sport 12m Good
Working, didn't really find a good way but had a good go at it. Ended up with a hole in my finger from a silly throw.

 
25 Ernest in Africa Sport 12m Good
Better beta works better. Keep right hand low and lead with the right.

 
23 Nev Herrod Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Good fun. Steep. Just gotta commit and go at the crux.

25 Atoms in Action Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Easy with a hard crux that I couldn't work out. Had to pull through.

 
25 Atoms in Action Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Still couldn't work out the crux. But saw some beta that an upside down left hand is very helpful.
