Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Flake Crack Area | ||||||
17 | ★★★ Flake Crack | 53m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Apparently my 10th ascent of this route, but only now did I find the hands-free kneebar at the rooflet.

Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area | ||||||
18 | ★★★ The Eternity | 22m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Was once a project, but has now become my typical warmup here. I still love coming back to this one.

This is such a stellar pitch. One of my favorite lines at Piddo.

Was climbing in borrowed shoes, so perhaps shouldn't have expected to get up this thin slab.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Pierces Pass Bunny Bucket Buttress and Hotel California Area | ||||||
18 | ★★★ Bunny Bucket Buttress | 270m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A quick lap, just for fun. Carrie led the harder pitches (the first, and the first pitch of the headwall) and we simuled most of the others. Something like 2 hours on the wall. A very nice day out.

Sat 15th Apr 2017 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Pierces Pass Bunny Bucket Buttress and Hotel California Area | ||||||
22 | ★★★ Hotel California | 330m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Swung leads with Stu. I dogged pitch 1 and climbed the rest clean. The first pitch lived up to its reputation- I think it's hard 23. Don't let this put you off though, it's easy for a grade 21-22 climber to pull on draws to get through all of the hard moves.

Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Shock Wall/Fire Bug Mall | ||||||
21 | ★★★ Vincent HRD | 28m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Led clean on Jonas's gear. A very nice trad line, but less classic than thruxton, and soft for 21. Double ropes were helpful. Some gardening may be required.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Thruxton | 57m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This was great! Highly recommended. This side of boyce has a lot of good trad lines. Crack is very clean now, so get on it.

Mount Victoria Area Mount York Ferro Pro Wall | ||||||
24 | ★★ Ferro Pro | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Wow this schooled me hard. I half climbed, half aided it. Several sections felt like the starting crux of Exhibition Wall, repeated over and over. Thin, hard, and actually a bit overhanging. It could be a crimpy project, but I don't think I'll be back for it.
|
||||||
Sat 25th Mar 2017 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Exhibition Wall | ||||||
17 | ★ REM state ruminations | 25m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
This actually wasn't bad. A single hand to fist sized cam is all the gear that is required.
|
||||||
21 | ★★★ Exhibition Wall | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Felt cruisy today.

Mount Victoria Area Mount York Auntie Jack Area | ||||||
21 | ★★ Red Robbin Direct Start | 15m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Still great!
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ Auntie Jack | 27m, 1 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Easily led, placing gear. Confidence is important for reaching the lower break. Classy climb.
|
||||||
Sat 25th Mar 2017 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Crackle Area | ||||||
12 | ★ Snap | 30m | ★ Good | |||
Not a bad route, actually. Instead of stepping around left, you can go straight up the orange face at about grade 16.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Crackle | 30m | ★ Good | |||
Seconding to clean. This was also better than expected.

Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Choc Chip Chai Sector | ||||||
20 | ★★ Choc Chip Chai | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Three laps, as it was the only dry route at the crag. The upper section was a bit wet still.

Sat 18th Mar 2017 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall | ||||||
24 | ★★ Jaqueline Hyde | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Third go. Figuring out how to rest before and after the techy traverse was key.

19 |
★★ Foreword (Foreword P1)
1
| 69m | ★★★ Classic | |||
What a ripper of a pitch! I enjoyed this immensely. Came off at the roof- pulled the rope and sent it second go. This is "19" in the same way that Ballrace is "17".
|
||||||
15 | ★★★ Tombstone Wall | 30m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Mon 13th Mar 2017 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Slape Area | ||||||
23 | ★★★ The Plunge | 35m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Worked out the cruxes. Has some fingery and runout moves. Had a bit of an epic, as the rope decided to tie itself in a knot while pulling through the anchor. I found out that its quite straightforward to walk to the top.

Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Descent Gully Area | ||||||
14 | ★ Great Unwashed Direct Start | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Quite an enjoyable little warmup. Climbed the crack directly, which felt much harder than 14. A bit sandy above the crack bit.

That finish is hard.
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Pluck-a-Duck | 22m, 10 | ||||
This was brilliant. A technical crux on the vertical section at 1/3rd height, followed by steep jug haulin'. Did this one-hang, and might be able to get it with some more fitness on the steep stuff.

Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Fashion Area | ||||||
24 | ★★ Work Injury | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very nearly had it. Clipping the last bolt before the anchors is hard from the crimps: next time I might skip it. Very nice crimping climbing up a great looking wall.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Fashion | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Clean with ease today.

Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Disneyland | ||||||
18 19 | ★ Captain Hook | 25m | ★ Good | |||
Average, and very soft for the grade of "19". The older 18 to its left (Nappy Action) is way harder. I recon this is 18.
|
||||||
17 18 | ★ Malificent | 25m | Average | |||
Not great, and very easy after the first move. The first move is 17, and the rest is 15-16. It's very soft at "18".
|
||||||
15 | ★ Bacon | 25m, 9 | Average | |||
18 | ★ Nappy Action | 22m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice sustained climbing. The bolting is a bit more customary compared to the many new gridbolted routes on this wall. This is also much harder than several of the new "19's".

20 | ★ Old Blobby | 25m | Don't Bother | |||
24 | ★★ Good Big Dog | 22m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Several go's, but too pumpy for me. No move is that hard... but there are a lot of them.

Sat 4th Feb 2017 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Fashion Area | ||||||
23 | ★★ Fashion | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice climbing. A small cam was nice (red alien, purple X4). Third shot. Had a heartbreaker fall on my second shot, as I fell clipping the anchors
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Queen Bitch | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Really nice climbing, but the finishing step right to the anchors was hard, awkward, and not at all enjoyable. That's a shame, as the rest of the route is fun.

Two cruxes, each of which is harder than anything on fashion. Very thin start, then deadpoint through the orange rock. Okay I suppose. Second shot
