27 | ★★★ Mirage - with danny wade, Troy McKenzie, Jimmy, Dick Lodge | 35m, 15 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Tue 1st Oct 2019 | |||
Fun route. Sneaked up this today on Troy’s gear which was awesome. This was pretty much the first route I tried on Taipan 20 odd years ago. Couldn’t do the dyno that time but got lucky this time!

24 | ★★ Sanitize Review - with Jasper | 36m, 11 | Bundaleer Area | Mon 1st Nov 2021 | ||||
24 | ★★ Kaa - with danny wade | 80m, 9 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★ Very Good | Sat 6th Jul 2019 | |||
Great fun adventure. Two ropes useful but not essential. Long draws essential. Cams up to size 2. The top pitch as described steps left after the final bolt but I’ve done it twice by staying right and going up the arête which is awesome (and cleaner) at the same grade.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Angst - with danny wade | 40m, 9 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 30th Sep 2019 | |||
Great route. Rage section is in the most awesome position with great crimpy moves then the top half (Angst) has a number of moves that require effort in between some reasonable shake outs. Was lucky to get the gear in and send first shot as I was too pumped to have a second attempt!
|
||||||||
25 | ★★★ Vege Maths | 30m, 8 | Victoria Range | Sat 19th May 2018 | ||||
One green cam and one yellow cam to supplement bolts
|
||||||||
25 | ★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1 - with Anthony Shilton | 28m, 8 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | Sat 30th Nov 2019 | ||||
Nice to tick this again after struggling to hold the crimps on Sheik Naja Ket.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Anaconda | 60m, 8 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Thu 4th Jan 2018 | |||
Lead as a single pitch. Lowered off anchors back to chain at end of p1 with rope to spare. 80m rope.
|
||||||||
27 | ★★★ FinaI Departure - with Derwood | 27m, 7 | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Wed 18th Jan 2023 | |||
26 | ★★★ Father Oblivion | 52m, 7 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Sun 28th Oct 2018 | |||
Great fun. Climbed with a small diversion towards Sirocco above second bolt to make a more balanced climb. This start would be good for Sirocco also.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Rattlesnake Shake - with danny wade | 35m, 7 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 1st Oct 2019 | |||
At least as good as Mr Joshua.
|
||||||||
27 | ★★★ The Seventh Banana - with Mike Tomkins | 55m, 6 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | Sun 7th Apr 2019 | ||||
Crux slab on pitch 2 is technical and easier for taller climbers. Great route

26 | ★★★ Sirocco - with Ben W | 52m, 5 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | Thu 18th Jan 2024 | ||||
Started via the first two bolts of Father O. Makes for a more consistent route - at least that’s what I’m telling myself until I figure out the crux!
|

28 | ★★★ Venom | 60m, 4 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | Fri 6th Oct 2017 | ||||
28 | ★★ The Great Escape - with Jasper Snell | 20m, 4 | Arapiles | Sat 14th Dec 2019 | ||||
Had a play on the ab rope in the evening then first shot next day. Not too bad. Brilliant knee bar

24 | ★★ Posy - with Jasper Snell | 30m, 3 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | Wed 4th Jan 2023 | ||||
Quite tough for the grade but well protected. Has a lovely move around the first bolt that feels like a gym move.

27 26 | ★★ Shadows and Light - with Jasper Snell | 25m, 2 | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 31st Aug 2019 | |||
Felt harder than Elongate. The tree would get in the way of a fall anywhere in the first half.
