Lost World Area Lost World
	22	★★★ Savage Journey - with Chris Speer	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Another lead attempt. High point probably the same, but made it to the top without pulling on gear this time at least. Need more thrutch endurance.
Sun 25th Feb 2024 - Cape Raoul
	22	★★★ Pole Dancer - with Rach 1 Second lead by Rach 2 Trad lead by Cameron Semple	Mixed trad 40m, 12	★★★ Classic
Mega classic! Proud dog for me. Took a stick clip and clipped 3 bolts through the lower half to keep things moving. Still really pleased to have made it to the top. Just an amazing place to find yourself.

Lost World Area Lost World
	22	★★★ Savage Journey — 3 attempts - with Chris Speer	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
A few top rope laps. Chris' sneaky fist jam was key. Top is heartbreaking! Almost a clean lap on the last one.
Sun 11th Feb 2024 - Lake Huntley
	20	★★ Big City Life (Urban Sprawl Variant) - with Rach 1 17 Second lead by Rach 2 20 Trad lead by Cameron Semple 3 18 Second lead by Rach 4 19 Trad lead by Cameron Semple 5 13 Second lead by Rach	Trad 140m	★★★ Classic
Great route in a mindblowing location. Did both variant pitches. Gear recommendations in the guide were on-point (from someone who likes plenty of gear). Took an extra black totem which did get placed. Hex's did get used. Had a sit at the sport crux on P2, and pulled on a blindly placed cam to get around the bulge up higher! Otherwise clean. Used a single 70m rope. Extended the last piece of gear in the crack, and the first bolt on P4 after the crack, clipped the next one, then downclimbed to unclip the last one. Drag wasn't too bad and the moves are thoughtful, but ok and the anchor isn't too far away.
Sat 10th Feb 2024 - Lake Huntley
	21	★★ How Hard Can it Be? - with Rach 2 16 Sport lead by Cameron Semple 3 19 Second lead by Rach 4 18 Sport lead by Cameron Semple 5 16 Second lead by Rach Best pitch of sport climbing you'll ever do 6 21 Sport lead by Cameron Semple 7 10 Sport lead by Cameron Semple	Sport 170m	★★★ Classic
Such a great day out! Used a single 70m rope. Skipped the first pitch, then swung leads. Bolting was good with some further spacing on the lower angled sections, but tighter spacing on the harder bits above ledges. Still plenty of opportunity to let a bit of poop out when you're standing above your bolt with 200m of exposure below that and trying to find your next camouflaged hold. A few hangs at the steep start of P6, then a fall at a thin section up higher. Took a bit of sussing out!

	22	★★★ Savage Journey - with Martin Brown	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Opened the account on this. First time even attempting trad at this grade on lead. High point was probably a bit further than expected. Full on!
	23	★★ Hejira - with Martin Brown	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
Pumpy! Pulled on more gear than rock just to get up this with some light left.
Sat 20th Jan 2024 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Central Buttress
	20 Hard	★★★ Improbability Drive - with Rach	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
First pitch is certainly spooky stepping around the arete straight into steepness. I lead the second. Classic pipes steep mixed bag route up a broken crack system. Jugs, crimps, flared jams, good jams, sequencey feet. Gave it a red hot go, but a foot popped unexpectedly and whipped onto a black totem. Seems to always be the black! From there on it was anything goes as the rain was starting and my arms were pulped.
Thu 23rd Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
	23	★★★ Ultrasound - with Chris Speer	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic
Bloody hell. Struggle town! Maybe one day.
Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
	20	★★ The Shield - with Chris Speer	Trad	★★ Very Good
Lead the first pitch which was a bit damp and vegetated. Fell seconding the offwidth start to the second pitch. Second pitch follows a really cool (although a little unnerving) feature.
Wed 15th Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington
Lost World Area Lost World
	21	★ Lactos — 3 attempts - with Shirley	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
First lead attempt. No surprises here. Felt hard and pumpy, but keen to keep at it. Couple of top rope shots as well.
Sun 5th Nov 2023 - Sand River
The Panopticon Panopticon South
	20	★ Paint it Black - with Rach, Jai	Sport 14m, 8	★ Good
Wed 1st Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington
Lost World Area Lost World
	21	★ Lactos - with Rach, Chris Speer, Shirley	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic
Harder than I remembered! Great route though.
	19	★ Glam - with Rach, Chris Speer, Shirley	Trad 15m	Average
Bottom half was soggy. Gear didn't inspire confidence in shallow, wet, flaring placements. 2 nice jamb moves, then found the top section hard. Take an extra 0.5 next time. One fall at the top.
Sun 2nd Jul 2023 - Lowdina
	18 Hard	★★ Wolfetone - with Kyle	Trad 25m	★★★ Classic
Untick
Mon 12th Jun 2023 - Sand River
Colosseum Area Plebeian Wall
	22	★★ Tory Tossers - with Amps, Sas	Sport 11m
Messed up the crux. Maybe next time
	19	★ No more heroes - with Amps, Sas	Sport 18m, 11	Average
Didn’t have a good time on this today. Not sure if I’ve changed or the climb has since last time I did it. The large block down low that you want to stand on is very unsettling and vibrates/bounces with obvious detachment on a couple of sides. Can’t remember if this is new. Crag was crowded today so didn’t want to try too hard to remove it. Whatever the case, I struggled to pull the moves above this as well which I thought were ok last time.
Sun 4th Jun 2023 - Sand River
North Ridge
	18	★ Buena Vista Social Club - with Katrin	Sport 12m, 5	Average
Started up the 19 to the left by accident. Frozen hands and cryptic holds made this a sub-optimal warmup.
	21	★★ Valentine - with Rach, Katrin	Sport 17m, 8	★★★ Classic
Another really good route. Fun crack moves.
	20	★ Sunbeam - with Rach, Kyle	Sport 15m, 9	★★ Very Good
Awesome climb! The sustained steep moves soon make you forget about a few bits of suss rock near the bottom. Spat me off right at the top.
Sun 7th May 2023 - Sand River
The Panopticon Panopticon Central
	23	★ Felicific Calculus - with Jai	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good
Struggled. Pulled on a few draws.
Sun 30th Apr 2023 - Sand River
The Panopticon Panopticon Central
	22	Power - with Sas	Sport 12m, 5	Average
Still perplexed pulling over the lip and onto the wall.
Sat 25th Mar 2023 - The Paradiso
	24	★★★ Thunder Birds Are Go - with Amps, Martin Brown	Sport 25m, 9	★★★ Classic
Happy to get to the top currently. So good.
	21	★★ Shock Wave - with Amps, Martin Brown	Sport 13m, 5	★★★ Classic
Heart break at the last move! Can't believe my thigh hook move didn't work!
Sat 18th Mar 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
	20	★★★ Icarus - with Rach 2 30 Trad lead by Cameron Semple 3 36 Trad 4 15 Trad	Trad 81m	★★★ Classic
So good! Straight into it with the intimidating start, but plenty of gear if you brought enough. Did as two pitches and led both. Had a couple of hangs on the first pitch.
Sat 21st Jan 2023 - Fortescue Bay
Canoe Bay Crag
	20	★★ Zodiac - with Chris Speer	Trad 22m	★★ Very Good
Couldn’t make it through the initial groove. Steep and tricky to read. The headwall is glorious.
Mon 16th Jan 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Central Buttress
	20	★★ Halleluja - with Jai 1 18 Trad lead by Cameron Semple Phil's Crack: Nice enough. I potentially made the bottom section a bit easier by bridging off the rock behind. 2 17 Second lead by Jai Clean corner hand crack up onto the pillar. Tricky mantle after the arete and face. Nicely lead by Jai. 3 19 Trad lead by Cameron Semple Nice pitch. Needed a bit of cleaning, but was dry. Obviously gets very wet. 4 20 Trad lead by Cameron Semple Telopea: The stand out pitch. 3 stars I reckon. Steep and sustained with awkward (for me) crack sizes. Some mild shrubbery (hence the name) in the headwall crack added to the difficulties. A bit dissapointed to take a hang after nearly all the hard bits were done with. 5 14 Second lead by Jai Nice way to finish and top out. We split it into two as the rope got caught in a groove and the drag was horrible.	Trad 120m	★★ Very Good
Very worthwhile. Full height routes like this, with no bolted belays and requiring some thought for the descent really adds to that "adventure in our backyard" feel. Reinforced for me how lucky we are to have this place so close. Route finding was obvious and the descent was easier to find than we were expecting. Which was lucky as we got back to our packs right on dark. Such a great day.
Fri 13th Jan 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Bulging Buttress
	22	★★★ Heat Pump — 4 attempts - with Anthony 1 Second lead by Anthony 2 Sport lead by Cameron Semple	Sport 30m, 12	★★★ Classic

Sun 16th Oct 2022 - Lowdina
	22	★★ Plastacine Thylacine - with Anthony	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Average
Found this really hard. Hauled on the bottom two draws to even get through that section.
Sat 15th Oct 2022 - Fortescue Bay
Canoe Bay Crag
	20	★★ The Peg Leg - with Chris Speer	Trad 17m
Footer broke on initial attempt. Lowered and tried again. Keeps at you. Had a couple of falls prior to the traverse.
	23	★★ Rum on the Rocks - with Rach	Trad 16m	★★ Very Good
Nice climb. Way too hard for me currently. Flopped around trying to get up it.
Sat 1st Oct 2022 - Lowdina
	22	★★★ Drury Line - with Rach, Shirley, Chris Speer	Mixed trad 25m, 5	★★★ Classic
Great route with some really tough sequences. Keeps coming at you!
Sun 31st Jul 2022 - Lowdina
	18	Lithium low down - with Martin Brown	Mixed trad 25m, 1	★ Good
Had a hang at the traverse. Annoyed I didn't just commit.
Sun 10th Jul 2022 - Kempton Quoin
	20	★ Prelude - with Dan	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Great climbing on mostly clean rock.
Sun 1st May 2022 - Sand River
The Panopticon Panopticon Central
	20	★ Ball Saver - with Erika	Sport 12m, 5	★ Good
Slabby and unforgiving. Took a bit of figuring out.
Fri 25th Feb 2022 - Bruny Island
Cloudy Bay Hidden Zawn Beaufort Wall
	21	★★★ Force 10 - with Scott Godwin	Trad 45m	★★★ Classic
Pretty mega. Solid climbing at the grade in an array of styles in an intimidating position down low on the cliff. Had a couple of sits to clear my mind and the pump. Finished up Syncopate for the second pitch.
Sun 23rd Jan 2022 - Ben Lomond
Northern Escarpment Robin's Buttress
	22	★★★ Defender of the Faith - with Martin Brown 1 22 30m lead by Martin Brown 2	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Rapped into the second pitch from Ramadan. Really ramps up the higher you go.
Tue 18th Jan 2022 - Mount Wellington
Lost World Area Lost World
	20	★★ Face It - with Martin Brown	Trad 25m	★ Good
Pleasant climbing (avoiding the bits of dodgy rock) then the crux hits hard! Pulled the moves, but couldn't for the life of me clip the next piece. Fell onto a small offset nut which pulled. Eventually got to the top.
	18	★★ Adolf Builds A Bonfire - with Martin Brown	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
Bit slimey
Tue 11th Jan 2022 - Mount Wellington
Lost World Area Lost World
	21	★ Great Southern Land - with Martin Brown	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
Hard! Add a grade with the moisture currently in it. Great lead by Martin in the conditions.
Sun 9th Jan 2022 - Kempton Quoin
	22	★★ The Smoking Gun - with Martin Brown	Sport 25m, 8	★★ Very Good
Great climbing. Delicate down low and a sustained crux up higher. Mostly good rock. Gets a little worse in the top third.
	21	Tourette's Syndrome - with Martin Brown	Sport 15m, 6	Average
One sequence wonder. Best to top belay the seconder up to clean then rap down the corner to the right.
Mon 3rd Jan 2022 - Bruny Island
Cloudy Bay Hidden Zawn Elephanthide Wall
	21 21/22	★★★ Trunk Music - with Chris Speer	Sport 33m, 18	★★★ Classic
Great route. The swell was sending plenty of spray onto the wall and gave it an exposed feel. Had a few sits.
Tue 28th Dec 2021 - Bruny Island
Cloudy Bay Hidden Zawn Maelstrom Wall
	21	★★★ White Noise - with Chris Speer, Rach	Sport 30m, 14	★★ Very Good
The position! Found all the climbing here pretty pumpy. Some amazing moves on improbable flakes up high.

Lost World Area Lost World
	18	★★ Adolf Builds A Bonfire - with Chris Speer	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
Great route. Got caught out on when the jambs got a bit awkward. Vegetated top out is exciting!
Tue 21st Dec 2021 - Fruehauf
	25	★ Play Launch Direct Start - with Martin Brown	Sport 15m, 6	★ Good
Pulled through the first two draws.
Fri 3rd Dec 2021 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Flange Buttress
	20	★★ Slippery Sensation - with Martin Brown	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good
Great route. Fairly damp currently. Took a fall. Good gear. I climbed too high on before traversing left which made for an exciting down climb clinging onto dirt and moss back down to the anchor. Anchor is at the height of the bush (which looks like it has taken a beating recently).
Sun 21st Nov 2021 - Kempton Quoin
	21	★★ Marginal Call - with Martin Brown	Sport 20m, 9	★ Good
Tricky. Plenty of hollow sounding holds. Had a few hangs.
Sat 11th Sep 2021 - Sand River
Riverside
	19	★ Spotted Tail Quoll - with Scott Godwin	Sport 12m, 5	Average
Snapped a hold I was attempting to use to clip the anchors while in an awkward high foot position. Hit the dead tree on my way down and thankfully only have a nicely bruised leg for my efforts. Wear your helmets kids.
Sat 14th Aug 2021 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Light Fingered Maddison Buttress
	21	★★★ Light Fingered Maddison - with Anthony	Trad 15m	★★★ Classic
Finally had a crack at this. Made it to the first good hold, but didn’t hit it well and spooged off in slow motion. One to come back to for sure.
Sun 21st Mar 2021 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
	23	★★ Plymouth Satellite - with Martin	Sport 23m, 11	★★ Very Good
Really good! Did better than expected. One or two hangs.
Sat 20th Mar 2021 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Northern Buttress
	22	★★ Boys Games - with Martin	Sport 30m, 9	★★ Very Good
Super techy and sustained in the top half. One hang.
Sat 27th Feb 2021 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Rockaway and Amphitheatre
	25	★★★ Second Coming - with Martin	Trad 25m	★★★ Classic
Such an awesome lead by Martin. I was more than happy just to get up it without pulling on gear.

Sun 25th Oct 2020 - Sand River
North Ridge
	21	★★ Stellas climb - with Rach	Sport 15m, 8	★★ Very Good
Shortish climb, but the pump sneaks up on you quickly at the end. Heartbreaking onsight attempt. Got the draw on the anchor, but couldn't clip it. haha.
	20	★★ Lars and the Real Girl - with Rach	Sport 21m	★★ Very Good
Original grade of 18 was pretty funny. Probably even hard for 20. Second last bolt seems in an odd position and very hard to find a clipping stance. If you are short you might be better off just using a cam. Ended up getting a draw on by tensioning hard off the previous bolt and laybacking off the crack.
Fri 23rd Oct 2020 - The Paradiso
	21	★★ Shock Wave - with Martin	Sport 13m, 5	★★★ Classic
Still had to hang at the top section.
	22	★★ Sponge Bob - with Martin	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good

A few hangs around the third bolt.

	21	★★ There's a Cat in My Alleyway - with Danielle, Sarah	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
This ain't no Sand River! This is a great (very) little crag. The routes make you think and are pumpy as. Don't think I did any better than last time I was here. At least I lead it. Hung on nearly every bolt.
	23	★ Give Me Convenience of Give me Death - with Danielle, Sarah	Sport 20m, 6	★★ Very Good
Super thin down low, then really nice sustained climbing the rest of the way.
Sat 3rd Aug 2019 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge

A lap on top rope. Missed a hold down lower and need to remember more moves to have a better chance.
