	22	★★ Pissed-Up Porker Stalker	Sport 22m, 9	★★ Very Good
Pretty dirty after the rain. Not a bad route - agree with some that it's soft for a G Hill route! As far as hardest move on the wall - absolutely not if you're tall! Probably deserves a bit more traffic
Sun 7th Aug 2022 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Moon Wall
	26	★★ Mephisto	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
I thought this was a bloody cool rock climb. Hard bouldery and jumpy down low into some great crimps on the top half. Underrated. Second shot

Walked past this thing for years feeling a little intimidated by its crimpy reputation but felt good to not worry about my tweaky ass fingers for once. Very nice piece of climbing.
