Have the moves sorted which was cool. Some wild beta dance fun to get through some of the cruxes. Loving the heels in the nose...enjoying some anti-style crimping! Won't have time to try again before trip but guess write down the beta....

Why does this not get more ascents? This is, with out a doubt, one of the best, silliest and unique climbs in the bluies. Would not recommend if 23 is your limit but wow. Techy thin and delightful

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall

Struggled with this a few years ago. Still tricky crux, backward hand placements and smearing feet with a tenuous drop knee made it work at the end.

Wed 3rd Aug 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Upper Zap
	28	★★ Zapt - with Mattia Fornari	Sport 20m, 10
Got major beta tunnel vision on top crux making it was harder then it needed to be. Finally tried a much simpler move end of session and was much easier. Good reminder that just cause I’ve done a move once that way it isn’t most efficient. Still finding massive span at start to be low percentage
Wed 27th Jul 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Equaliser Wall
	26	★★ Slay Ride	Sport 20m
Connies turned it on at end of day. Top crux crimp felt like Velcro

Fri 27th May 2022 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sporting Complex
	25	★★★ The Life of Riley - with Ryan Tranter	Sport 35m	★★★ Classic
I’ve got short person beta for the thin flake crux. Cool moves, jugs were wet and nearly dropped it after crux. Gooood sick moves all the stars
Sun 3rd Apr 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Celebrity Crags Sharon Stone
	27	★★★ Some Violence and Sexual References - with Ryan Tranter, Sean	Sport 20m, 11	★★★ Classic
Finally done! The key was to stop changing my beta at the top and to have great support crew. Ryan for the belay calmness and Sean to remind me to stick with my beta and there was a reason I was falling. Great day out
Fri 10th Dec 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bowens Creek Main Wall Centre
	25	★★★ 97% Fat-Free	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
Good to get back on rock at the driest spot in the rain! Endurance is a bit down but happy to get it done. Hopfully the new year is drier!
Sat 13th Nov 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
	25	★★★ Dr Stein	Sport 18m, 10	★★★ Classic

Mount Victoria Area Boronia Point Main Wall (Ferris Cave)
	27	★★★ Aneurysm (Link-up) - with Jorge, Marty W	Sport 20m	★ Good
Start feel doable?? Top boulder felt like massive span.
Wed 3rd Nov 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Pierces Pass Pierces Pass East Side
	23	★★★ Smegadeath - with Jon Leighton	Sport 220m
Rad day out with Jon! Such a cool climb really great moves. I tried to be brave and lead the first pitch but traversed waaaaaay too far to left and went back and forth a few times unable to see the next bolt. 10m back and forth from my bolt I just kept saying "well I'm not blind Im not blind" Apparently I am blind cause Jon went up and found the bolt quite quickly. Rest of route was rad. 4th pitch is tech goodness 5th pitch is extra fun if you are carrying a backpack (just don't fall). Fun day out in perfect conditions
Wed 27th Oct 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Dalpura Head Dalpura Wall
	19 M1	★ Welsh Dragon	Sport 88m	Crap
We must have been on the wrong route. A tad run out I can handle, not being able to see the bolts with 15m run outs on breaking sandy dirty rock is another. Have I missed bolts? Guide said 11. I counted 4 all at the top. 4 in 88m.....?!??!?! 0 stars not just cause there are no bolts but also climbing is shit and every hold feels like its going to break and dirty.
Wed 27th Oct 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Dalpura Head The Lost Pillar
	23	★★★ Wafer Thin Fin - with Jon Leighton	Sport 71m
What a rad climb! The colour was amazing and the move unique. Yeeesss very sandy and chossy so get on it before it dissolves. Im gonna claim the onsight on second pitch even though I broke a hold and fell off. I climbed back up and lead it clean to anchors. Crag police can argue. Heads up for people under 5'3 reaching the anchors of second pitch it a bit of reach. luckily Neil was across the valley so I could shout out to him. excellent all the way.

Blackheath Area Celebrity Crags Sharon Stone
	25	★★ Year of the Gun	Sport 20m, 9
I struggled with the crux on this. took awhile to figure out a way that worked then couldn't repeat it. I could slowly move statically to the crimp (def not strong enough to dynamically snatch it) then when I tried to repeat it was way too far from it. The trick was reaching under my arm into a semi rose move instead of over where my hand stopped the rotation of my body. Will try again and remember this
Wed 20th Oct 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
	24	★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman	Sport 15m, 7	★★ Very Good
happy to send this, the traverse moves are really cool. For shorties the slab is sketchy. I put my left foot up on the highest foot above the good ledge, right foot up and tipped over to crimp. Awkward placement of left foot was crucial. Felt bad going into it but made move easier
	20	★★ Go Lotto	Sport 22m, 7
retro log again. Tricky start
	22	★★ Hang onto Yourself	Sport 20m
retro log from awhile back. scary move from memory clipping 2nd or 3rd belay
	21	★★ Lady Stardust	Sport 21m, 6	★★ Very Good
jeez I can't believe this was one of my first 21's hard start!
Tue 12th Oct 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Duck Wall
	26	★★★ Duck Walk	Sport 18m
Re familiarised myself with middle crux but felt wet and unlikely so didn’t spend much attention to top crux. Got through the middle second shot and nearly dropped at the end faffing with poor beta but managed it. Sweet climb all the stars thin moves, roof moves, techy and powerful
	20	★ Duckling	Sport 12m, 4	★ Good
Warm up

Tue 5th Oct 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
	24	★★ Surprise Package - with Steve Cooper	Sport 17m, 8
Hard start for sure. I made the last move harder then it needed to be but beta refinement made it feel a grade easier.

tricky move at the roof
