23 | ★★ Lethal Injection | 20m, 5 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Fingers not strong enough for that start. Looks pretty easy from a couple of holds higher.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Airbourne - with Mike Hitchcock | 28m, 5 | Mt Blackwood Summit | ★★ Very Good | Sat 7th Nov 2020 | |||
Pulled up ropes for "grade 8" start. Crack really easy to where it steepens, then awesome finger locks. Upper bolted part a complete change in character, and felt a little harder than 20.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ No Standing | 20m, 4 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Tue 20th Oct 2020 | |||
Great and slightly improbable moves on the bolted section. Eases off quickly after reaching the crack.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ Orient Express - with deano | 23m, 4 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Tue 20th Oct 2020 | |||
A couple of burns with Deano. Will definitely put draws on before redpointing, and use a cam in the lower horizontal.
Need to save fingers for the super thin layaway holds below roof.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Night Train | 4 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | |||
Excellent, but my thin fingers couldn't quite handle the start move.

||||||||
23 | ★ The Joy of Specs | 12m, 3 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Some fun moves, with a couple of hards bits. Took a couple of attempts to sort out the crux sequence. Would clean up very nicely.

23 | ★ Going to Horeb | 10m, 3 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | |||
2nd shot. Need to have feet sorted at crux, but otherwise a great little route.

22 | ★★★ Deathrow | 20m, 2 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Awesome moves! Good rests, but makes unfit people like me work for it. Stepping of the slab and avoiding the barndoor is great fun.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★★ Deathrow | 20m, 2 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Spat off Lethal Injection, but more than happy to do this again. Definitely easier second time around, but still not easy.
|

25 | ★★★ Whiskey Jim Crack - with Isaac | 20m | Cluan Tier and Whiskey Jim Hill | ★★★ Classic | Tue 17th Nov 2020 | |||
2nd shot. Should have had the flash, but faffed too much. Figured out hand sequence at crux, all good after that. Roof crack itself easy but super fun. Keen to do more laps, but need 3x3BD first.

18 | ★★ Too Much Alcohol | 17m | North Esk | ★★★ Classic | Sun 12th Dec 2004 | |||
more like a 16 i think, but still worth the three stars. holds in the exact spot uyou want them all the way up
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Mars | 12m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Wed 8th Dec 2004 | |||

19 | ★★ Offal | 15m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sat 12th Mar 2005 | |||
still a real grunt of a climb

bouldery start, then really nice finger layback crack to top, where i got bit by some sort of spider and my arm went numb and tingly
|

20 | ★★ Zoot | 9m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sat 12th Mar 2005 | |||

the start is easy, but if you're not 6 feet plus, watch out for the finish

21 | ★★★ Aqualung | 150m | Ben Lomond | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 22nd Feb 2014 | |||
With Jed and Tom. Led the crux pitch, but that meant Jed got the second 20/21 pitch, which was the most amazing climbing I've done for a long, long time. Awesome.

22 | ★★★ Die Nadal - with Alice | 25m | Ben Lomond | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 10th Feb 2019 | |||
Awesome, took absolutely everything out of me, and was trying not to vomit at the belay.
Started in the wrong crack, with wet, slimy crap for 5m, but the main crack is amazing. Most of the crack is super thin hands, with a couple of decent rests, and feet to the R of the crack.
Would be have been more comfortable with 4 #1 and 3 #0.75 cams.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Rajah - with Alice | 80m | Ben Lomond | ★★★ Classic | Sun 10th Feb 2019 | |||
Super awesome first pitch. Starts with perfect hands, and basically just keeps going right to the belay with a couple of slightly wider sections. Thought the crux was definitely the overhang on p2.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Prison to Praise | 12m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Found it quite nice overall, with a slightly tenuous crux reaching the overlap.
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Sawsea | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Pretty cruisey. Either go straight up or move L at the top.
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Sitting Bull | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Just stayed in the L crack to practice more wide stuff.

20 | ★★ First Disadvantage | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Perfect hand stacks!
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Short and Sweet | 8m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
Really wish this was much longer. Would be a nice lead, with good l9cks just after the crux.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Skidrow | 25m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Mon 16th Mar 2020 | |||
The traverse into the second crack is defin8tely the highlight.

17 | ★★ Well Then Bruvvers | 25m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Tue 20th Oct 2020 | |||
Fun last move.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Five Bells | 20m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | Average | Tue 20th Oct 2020 | |||
Fun enough, but currently a death route for the belayer, with a block on the LH side of the offwidth about 5m below the anchor only just held in.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Touch and Go - with Deano | 9m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Tue 3rd Nov 2020 | |||
Tried on lead first, wasn't game to layback the start. Reached high for small purple wire near too of crux. Couple of really nice moves above crux.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Cold Chat - with deano | 9m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Tue 3rd Nov 2020 | |||
Not hard, but definitely aware of the ledge.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Lefthand Man | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | Average | Tue 3rd Nov 2020 | |||
2 moves to a ledge, then a couple more moves.

21 | ★ In Between Man | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | Average | Tue 3rd Nov 2020 | |||
2nd shot. Buggered it up trying to stay off Ng Man holds at halfway. Much harder without them!

Awesome pitch the whole way. Definitely worth the stars.
|

19 | ★★★ Mills Route - with Mike Hitchcock | 40m | Mt Blackwood Summit | ★★ Very Good | Sat 7th Nov 2020 | |||
Start definitely harder than 18, but still good.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Mills Direct - with Mike Hitchcock | 30m | Mt Blackwood Summit | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Nov 2020 | |||
Dirty in the bottom corner, but amazing section of finger crack straight after. As good as a Squamish finger crack!
|
||||||||
20 | Never Going Back | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | Average | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | ||||
More moss than rock, but a few nice moves while joining Missing Josiah
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Gates of Hardened Steel | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | |||
Great little crack, wish it was longer and a bit further from other features.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Sticky Willow | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | |||
A few fun moves, but would need to be careful with gear as the rock on the LH side of the crack at half height is about ready to come out.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Clandestine Filth | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | ||||
Great jamming, even with very raw hands.

18 21 | ★ Out on the Streets | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | ||||
Wasn't totally sure which crack it was meant to be, so I did a lap on each. Both easier than 21. LH narrowing crack climbs harder at top, RH crack easier but more consistent with perfect chicken wings.
|

21 | ★★ Reculer Pour Mieux Sauter - with Darren | 14m | North Esk | ★★★ Classic | Sun 30th May 2021 | |||

21 | ★★ Lost in Space - with Deano | 14m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sun 10th Jul 2022 | |||

19 | ★★★ Who Among Them - with Darren | 35m | Mt Blackwood Summit | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 31st Dec 2023 | |||
Really can't ask for much more.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Poisoned Equanimity - with Darren | 35m | Mt Blackwood Summit | ★★★ Classic | Sun 31st Dec 2023 | |||
Really cool, and felt fairly easy for the grade. No really defined crux move, just a bit sustained in the top half.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Run to the Hills - with Darren | 30m | Mt Blackwood Summit | ★★ Very Good | Sun 31st Dec 2023 | |||
Foot slipped on smear in crux and took a good whipper. Blue alien popped, but wire below was bommer. Smashed a tree at the base, will need trimming to remove spikes.
Toprope first next time to figure out crux move.
