Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Sunnyside
	24	★★ Troc de l’Ile - with Emma	Sport 15m, 7	★★ Very Good
I thought I was on the 23.. This is a nice route with some cool holds, and I think with the gear on is more like 23- but I had to lock off high a few times putting the draws on, making it feel a bit harder.
	25	★★★ The Reality Dysfunction - with Emma	Sport 20m, 12	★★★ Mega Classic
Bugger it! Punted staring at the anchor. Used too many pump coins on my 'warm up'.. Climbed the whole route great apart from the last flake. Lucky it's awesome!

Spot X
		★ (The Executioner - Project - Reido)	Sport	★ Good
Had a handful of goes spread out over a fairly long time, can do all moves bar 2. Hard and bouldery, and probably height dependent. See what happens!
Sun 7th Sep 2014 - Urbenville
Crossroads
	24	★ Chimera - with Lee Cujes	Sport 35m, 16	★★ Very Good
Very happy to do this putting the draws up with great running beta from Lee. Exciting the whole way, and probably my best ever Popeye impersonation.
Sun 7th Sep 2014 - Urbenville
Spot X
	28	★★★ Epoxy Doxie	Sport 15m, 8	★★ Very Good
Had a go in 2013, dogged/aided almost halfway. Recently, had a few more goes and it feels much better! Can do all the moves, and have linked from the 2 jugs before the crux, through to the rest in the break. Might run out of good conditions this season before I can do it, well see! Zaps the crap out of me so fast this one.
Sat 30th Aug 2014 - Urbenville
Spot X

Sun 20th Jul 2014 - Urbenville
Crossroads
	25	★★ Cthulhu (full version) - with Duncan Steel	Sport 45m, 24	★★★ Classic
My proudest FFA to date. Long, exposed, and just gets harder the higher you get. Thankfully, everytime you think you're gonna punt there's a rest! My 'classic' vote is based on my experience.
Sat 14th Jun 2014 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
	23	★★ Nev Herrod	Sport 12m, 5	★ Good
Couldnt go a day without getting up something, so (barely) dragged my butt up this.. My body promptly went into hibernate mode afterward.
	25	★★★ Madge McDonald	Sport 12m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
Fell moving to the jug after the last bolt (heading right). some dude said try going the direct way. it felt better for me..
	25	★★★ Madge McDonald	Sport 12m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
Fell moving to the RH hold just before the finish, after the last clip cost me at least 5 seconds of pump when the biner was all twisted up!
	25	★★★ Madge McDonald	Sport 12m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
Last attempt! feeling flogged from 6 days on but maybe I can do it!!?? Sadly no, once again thwarted by over enthusiam on a trip. Slapped the break at the anchor and went flying.. Apparently it was amusing, but I missed the joke for a good 20 minutes. til next time Mrs McDonald!
Fri 13th Jun 2014 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Sunnyside
	25	★★★ The Reality Dysfunction	Sport 20m, 12	★★★ Mega Classic
Had a go at a flash, but slipped off the lower crux by mistake.. then climbed all the way to the anchor and punted off the clipping jug! Great steep route with lots of good rests if you think outside the box. Love it.
Fri 13th Jun 2014 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Duck Wall
	24	★★★ Pluck-a-Duck	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic
Over cooked reading the crux on onsight, misleading chalk and ticks.. pulled straight back on but fell off the top as well.. 5 days in a row starting to hurt. Great route though, will do it next time.
	22	★★ Daffy	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Sick! First time here, a great area. This route is funky and long with great climbing.
Thu 12th Jun 2014 - Blue Mountains

Thu 12th Jun 2014 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Egg
	24	★★ Red Demon	Sport 14m	★★★ Classic

Wed 11th Jun 2014 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
	23	★ Scheme of Things	Sport 12m, 5	★ Good

Sat 24th May 2014 - Urbenville
Vesuvius
	25	★★ Pompeii	Sport 27m, 14	★★★ Classic
first shot, made it to the 2nd bolt but slipped before clipping and came quite close to decking, belayer had a bit too much rope out but he caught me so its ok. dogged up to crux and worked it until my finger tip went numb from finger locking.
	25	★★ Pompeii	Sport 27m, 14	★★★ Classic
this time dogged up, climbed through the crux, and then onsight to the last bolt. (never been on the last half previously) SUPER goey the whole way, but a brilliant route for sure.
	23	★★ Liquid Hot Magma	Sport 17m	★★ Very Good
Last climb of the day, had just come off Pompeii.. the first 2 draws were on, and a bail biner on the 3rd from someones previous attempt. Took a couple goes to get off the ground, and had some beta from Nath for the next few metres, switched out the bail biner for a draw on the fly and onsight the rest to the top. I like the other 23 better for the full value to the top but this is great too.
	22	★★ Joe Versus The Volcano	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
warm up, after a few routes on this wall i expected the start to be hard also so moved quick and did it right. Cool route!
Tue 22nd Apr 2014 - Urbenville
Vesuvius
	24	★★ Slumbering Giant	Sport 17m	★★ Very Good
had a few shots at the start, dogged through the middle section and worked it out, didnt go to the anchor. Last go of the day after 4 days of going hard, this was a battle. just squeaked through each section, milking the rests. onsighting the last 2 bolts was exciting, especially when the hold I was about to clip the anchor off started peeling off! Rad route, Had to get it done, since its named for the day I was meant to go climbing but slept in!
Mon 21st Apr 2014 - Urbenville
Vesuvius
	23	★★ Lava Lamp	Sport 27m	★★★ Classic
