Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Oronga Crags Banksy Wall | ||||||
21 | ★★ Spoke to the Mountain, Listened to the Sea Extension | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Better than I was expecting for sure. Few too many bolts down low but a fun piece of low angle rock. Didn’t touch the corner.

Access.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ The Polar Opposite Extension | 33m, 19 | ★★★ Classic | |||

25 | ★★ Piano Tossers Anomynous | 20m, 10 | Average | |||
I would like to see if anyone has repeated this since the fires. Loads of flakes and delaminated rock. Doesn't go at 25 anymore, that’s for sure
|
||||||
26 | ★★ Hello Rabbit Risotto | 22m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Booo unticked. Much harder than I remembered and the first time I have ever fallen off. Fitness low

25 | ★★ Beaver Shot | 20m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Old project, still no dice.
But on the upper note, much better than I remember and I can do the move now. 3 shots, should have gone on the second but my hand popped as I landed the catch.
Will be back.

Blackheath Area Hat Hill Crag | ||||||
25 | ★★ Mad Hatter — 2 attempts | 17m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Hoped to put this away today but not to be. Double draw at the crux but still couldn’t clip, pumped out.
Put a triple and then forgot the sequence. Maybe again one day.
Lower right toe than left up!
|
||||||

Just two moves really, hard but brief.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Fascinator | 25m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||

Fail fest, great route though.
|
||||||
27 | ★★ Headshot | 17m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Bit of a surprise really. Tried the start years ago and couldn’t do it, figured it out pretty easy today, placed the draws and sent second shot. Was really working for it at the top, both arms failing.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Red Demon | 14m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Easiest it’s ever felt. Easy to avoid the wet at the top.

||||||
24 | ★★ Mountain Ant | 20m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
I feel this is the harder of the two but same awesome rock. The slopes down low are sick.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Fuck Cancer | 17m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool new route on some of the best rock at the brae. The crux is hard but short so give it a lash.
|
||||||
25 | ★ Gropertron — 2 attempts | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Good for a repeat, sandbagged myself on the first lap. Not to bad on the second, hard but brief.

Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Diamond Falls Access Ledge | ||||||
26 | ★★ Diamond in the Flesh — 2 attempts | 28m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
First lap was a bit of mission finding holds and more importantly feet. Surprised myself with a second shot send. Very boxed at the top.
Some pretty sharp and untrafficed holds at the crux but fun sequences.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ WoW | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great for a repeat, solid pump at the top.
|
||||||

Got lucky at the crux with plenty of fun jugs above.
|
||||||
26 27 | ★★ Fucked on Cocaine | 16m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Beta flash placing.
Started with second bolt clipped, and first logical holds. Granted this reduces the grade but very contrived forcing the clip as part of the sequence after the Batman start.
Fun route, short but sweet

EOD up to the mid crux to work the moves. Too cooked to even do it.
|
||||||
30 | ★ Brontosnorarse | 24m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
Two laps checking the moves. Would be a good 28 but for the lack of a better hold it gains two grades. One to come back to one day.
