Ok climb
	19 ~20	★★ Delta Cream - with matt hastie, peter prince, others	Sport 17m, 6	★★ Very Good	Lex Holcombe
Very nice route with very thin crux. I thought it was harder than 19 as the edges of the crimps had been broken off and it was awfully thin with poor feet.
	15 Hard	★ Fortunes Crown	Sport 16m, 6	★ Good	Lex Holcombe
Nice climb on fine edges then balancy over the overhang
Sat 25th May 2024 - Mount Keira

Seaside Windjammer Wall
	20	★★ Tenere - with Antonia Bewley, Jessica Weakley, mr_president	Trad 28m		Alec Landstra
Crack was unfortunately very sandy from runoff after the rains. Took a mega whip after double dry firing out of some jams . Then went from where you leave the corner to the top clean. Awesome route!

The Grotto Cliffline Hogwarts
	21	★★ Is Graeme Hill Severus Snape? - with Jordi dunlop	Sport 12m	★ Good	Michael Dunlop
Three very different hard moves, separated by good rests. Not a particularly inspiring climb. Blew the first hard move on the first go.
	15 ~14	★ Sirius Black - with Jordi dunlop, jesse, gabe, milo	Sport 12m, 5	★★ Very Good	Michael Dunlop
Very nice.
	20	★ The Golden Snitch - with Jordi dunlop, jesse, gabe, milo	Sport 12m	★ Good	Michael Dunlop

The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
	25	★★★ Escape From the Drilling Fields - with Jordi dunlop	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Michael Dunlop
Awesome route. Got all the moves, but need to refine the move past the last bolt. PUMPY. Need to work on some endurance.

	16	★★ Sloth - with Eugene Tan	Sport 23m, 8	★ Good	Jane
Not as fun. Some techy slab work. Reachy in some places. But good warmup
	18 Hard	★★ Resurrection of Rick Roller - with Eugene Tan	Sport 30m, 10	★★★ Classic	Jane
Loved loved loved this climb. Slab then sustained jugs (when you find them ) super flowy and a great route to build mileage.
	21 ~22	★★ Diprotodon - with Eugene Tan	Sport 22m	★ Good	Jane
Hang dogged my way up on this one today. Took a much needed whipper. Pumpy and tough for the grade. At least you get rewarded with a jug haul at the end. Will be back to try redpoint this one 😂
Sun 19th May 2024 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Hood Area
	30 Hard	★★ Pimp Behind The Wheel — 3 attempts	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	oliver kerr

Thompson's Point Lizard Block
	14 ~15	★ Lounge Lizard — 3 attempts	Sport 15m, 5	Crap	Andrew.K
Absolute sandbag. If learning to lead, be aware that it’s very awkward and committing for a 14. If looking for an easy beginner lead, looks else where.
Sun 19th May 2024 - Nowra

Thompson's Point The Fossil Cave
	25	★★ Rabbit Trap - with Jordi dunlop	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Michael Dunlop
Working high point. Couldn't do one of the middle moves that I did last time, grrr. But got the moves to the jug and up to the big scoop on the headwall. Funky beta off the jug worked a treat.

Thompson's Point Butterfly Wall
	24	★★★ Butterfly Wall Direct - with Jordi dunlop	Sport 20m	★ Good	Michael Dunlop

Mon 29th Apr 2024 - Point Perpendicular
The Lighthouse Rex Hunt's Area
	19	★★ Real Men Have Man Boobs - with Walkiria Díaz	Trad 15m		Peter
Don't make the mistake to rep all way down, the rock is less than average. I was basically free soloing from the bottom to the ankor and the start of the climb. Pretty exciting Climbing, felt hard for the grade.
Sun 28th Apr 2024 - Point Perpendicular
Seaside Windjammer Wall
	24	★★★ Dirty Dancing	Trad 30m		Aslaug Blitzner
Got the TR send. Did not get pumped at all, the rests are so nice. The key is to keep the hands dry so I don't slip out of the top finger jam, the breeze helped. Very nice climbing the whole way.
	24	★★★ Dirty Dancing	Trad 30m		Aslaug Blitzner
Working the crux moves. So hard to remember the top sequence.
	17	★★★ Grey Mist	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Aslaug Blitzner
Very nice climbing up high. Was hard to decide on the gear, found some originals haha.
Sun 28th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
	18 ~19	★★ Diddy Kong - with Richard Graham, Eugene Tan	Sport 24m, 8	★★ Very Good	Jane
Thought it was harder than vanderholics. Technical climbing for three bolts then jug haul. Thoughtful and reachy for shorter people imo. Still fun
Sun 28th Apr 2024 - Point Perpendicular

	7	Lobster Pot - with Ash, Jordan, Sarah	Trad 6m	★ Good	Riley Bradford
Quite enjoyed this actually, nice stemming
Sun 28th Apr 2024 - Stanwell Tops
Stonehaven
	19	★★ Who's the Clown - with Adam Brygula, Sarah Anne	Sport 25m, 10	★★ Very Good	Michael Wilson
Take some long draws for this one to minimise rope drag. This arete is a good one!
	18 ~19	★ MooserWirt - with Adam Brygula, Sarah Anne	Sport 15m, 6	★ Good	Michael Wilson
Hard for the grade, maybe not the warm-up I was hoping for, especially with that desperate crimpy start! Quite a fun sequence up high though, definitely worth doing!
	22 ~23	★★ Pump left out - with Adam Brygula, Sarah Anne	Sport 15m, 5	★★ Very Good	Michael Wilson
Great climbing, and quite sustained. It is quite hard for the grade, will definitely have to make use of the rest after the first crux, cause it's not over yet!
	23 Easy	★★ High On Crack - with Adam Brygula, Sarah Anne	Sport 19m, 12	★★ Very Good	Michael Wilson
It's mostly chill, enjoyable climbing, save for a few moves around the middle, which are definitely cruxy! Happy to return and try this one again.
	18	★★ Soul Searching - with Adam Brygula, Sarah Anne	Sport 18m, 9	★★ Very Good	Michael Wilson
2 laps on this today, practicing placing some trad pro in a few spots.

Not sure if we went off route, it's hard to tell from the route description and topo. But what we did wasn't any fun and it looked like things weren't going to improve. So gave up and turned around.

	23	★★ Eat My Spinning Blades Of Steel, Mother....er Lefthand Variant — 3 attempts	Sport 10m		Dunquan
Few goes. Fell off the victory jug, could only manage a 3 finger drag on the hold, not enough to stay on. Great fun.
