great day with some stunning climbing. Had a rest on P2 . Thought the route could be renamed chalk is cheap given the excess! Back to the van before the rain

Did Driftwood start 60m, then middle pitch 45 m, then straight out through roof ( 17) finish which I think is Oedipus.
	7a	★★ Die Langweilige 1 6a 18m Sport Greasy 2 7a 18m Sport Had to rest when pulling roof. I think I was doing it the hard left hand way, but maybe I was just weak. The rest of the route was fine.	Sport 36m	Höhlensteintal	★★ Very Good	Fri 15th Sep 2023
	22	FA ★ Quirkiness 1 19 45m 2 22	Sport 45m, 18	Kaputar	Average	Thu 5th Apr 2018

A battle with the crocodile. A bit sharp, but full value.
	6a 7a+	Intouchables (6a to right of crack)	Sport 30m	Rocher Maubert	Average	Sat 14th Jun 2014
This was pretty hard at one point, and clipping anchors.
	6b+	★★ Passaggio Chiave P1 1 6b+ 20 Sport Nice climbing. We came to the crag because its rain sheltered, but it was a Saturday and half of chiavenna seemed to join us, then the sun came out and the temps went up 10 degrees. It was time to leave.	Sport 20m	Cranna	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Sep 2023
	24	★★★ Wait till Winter	Sport 20m, 9	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Mon 16th Aug 2010

Yeah, yeah. Totally absorbing.
	24	★★★ Hypertension	Mixed trad 45m, 3	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Mon 7th Oct 2013
Had first bolt clipped. Apparently the old gear flake down low came off. Easier than RH, but still quite intense
	24	★★ Statue of liberty	Sport 30m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★ Very Good	Sat 11th Apr 2015
A little wet and dirty up high, not bad seeing it as raining.
	24	★★★ Dead Reckoning	Sport 30m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd May 2015
Dave had rapped down and placed draws. Too scared to fall off looking at rusty old piton. Deserving of a revolt. Lovely technical arête
	24	★★ The Omen	Sport 22m, 13	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Mon 29th Jun 2015
Nice route, bolts just in the wrong place.....
	24	★★★ Liquid Insanity Direct Finish - with David Gray	Mixed trad 35m, 5	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sun 4th Dec 2016
Hadn't planned on arête finish but seemed the logical way to go. Super Spoogy on lower part today
	24	★★★ Second Wind	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Feb 2017
A bit soggy for 24, but it makes up for those nasty bouldery things at other crags. It was pumpier than the 22
	24	★ Everlasting Stars	Sport 33m, 15	Kaputar	★ Good	Mon 11th Dec 2017
I hated the start rock quality but the route grew on me, with good technical moves and increasing pump, spent about 15 minutes climbing up and down at 4 th bolt before committing and then somehow held on with lovely slab moves at end. Probably third ascent, so no chalk, and quite dirty and 4 crumbling holds I somehow stayed on
	24	★★ Church of the Seven Samurai 1 Trad 2 Trad	Trad 110m	Blue Mountains		2009
	5.11d	★★ The Morrigan	Sport 25m, 12	Ten Sleep Canyon	★ Good	Sun 14th Sep 2014

jugfest
	8 7a	★★★ Sun Express	Sport 28m, 11	Geyikbayırı	★★ Very Good	Sat 22nd Mar 2014
My style, but way easier than some of the 6bs we've done
	7a	★★ Fuckination	Sport 19m	Olympos	★ Good	Mon 31st Mar 2014
A bolted finger to hand crack. Monkey face 19 or piddo 20, but still nice
	6c+ 7a	★★ Omero	Sport 22m, 10	Kalymnos	★★ Very Good	Wed 9th Apr 2014
Tricky middle
	7a	★★ Sens Unique	Sport 40m	Kalymnos	★★ Very Good	Wed 9th Apr 2014
A few slippery slopes.
	7a	★★ Steinpilz	Sport 30m, 14	Kalymnos	★★★ Classic	Sun 20th Apr 2014
Wow,it might be a little friable and wet but it kept me on my toes the whole way.

Wow,it might be a little friable and wet but it kept me on my toes the whole way.
	7a	★★★ DNA	Sport 20m	Kalymnos	★★★ Classic	Mon 21st Apr 2014
Wasn't allowed to leave without doing this
	7a	★★ Un Bon Passage	Sport 32m	Camarasa	★★★ Classic	Sat 5th Oct 2019
Almost Blueys feeling, crimps, side pulls and some glue. Climbed up and down at the lower crux about 6 times working out the reachy sequence ( dave didn’t even notice this) and got the top crux well, quite exciting.
	23	★ Keyboard Cat	Sport 16m, 6	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Thu 23rd Jul 2009
	23	★★ Crystal Set	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mon 16th Mar 2009

tricky starrt
	23	★★ Who the Fuck is Nick Cradock? (Who the Fuck is Nick Craddock?)	Sport 25m, 8	Motatapu Valley	★ Good	Sat 8th Mar 2008
nice reachy moves. Probably only 22, but its my style!
	23	★★ Bionic Booger Boys (Bionic Bugga Boys)	Sport 100m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 9th Nov 2008

	23	★★★ Speed Boat Wankers	Sport 25m	Nowra	★ Good	Sat 14th Jun 2008

	23	★★★ Bondage and Discipline	Sport 23m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Mon 17th May 2010
not much more difficult than anyother route on this wall
	23	★★ Hobo Humping Slobo Babe	Sport 15m, 5	Hospital Flat	★ Good	Sun 10th Jan 2010
tricky to chose the right crimp
	23	★★ Rage And Ruin	Sport 18m, 6	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★★ Very Good	Wed 5th May 2010
really great way to end the day

a battle

soft

Good at bottom, a bit squeezed higher up

	23	★ Welcome Alex (The Alex)	Top rope 14m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 17th Dec 2011
Apparently first direct nonMcDougall start
	23	★ On the Wagon	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 11th Mar 2012
If you are short a short stick to clip off the top of the blackboy is comforting before the traverse

	23	★ Quality Junk	Sport 18m, 7	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sun 29th Apr 2012
Cliping 2nd bolt had me sweating scared. Then quite nice pump with one more tricky quickdraw to place- must be Bundys route!
	23	Trotting	Sport 10m, 4	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Wed 24th Oct 2012
Low jugs a bit flexing but fun moves
	23	★★★ The Plunge	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 12th Nov 2012
via arete start. Good moves. Got mixed up with Brydens route and rope drag after corrected
	23	★★★ Fever Pitch - with Dave	Mixed trad 30m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 19th Nov 2012
Final climb at araps for brief trip. Great way to finish.

Felt like I was on the woody.

Enjoyed this, double ropes with a high runner to protect start put in from Hendrix
	23	★ Avenue Jean Jaures	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 30th Jan 2016
Lower crux pretty reachy. Good length
	23	★★ Roche Moutonnee	Sport 16m, 8	Motatapu Valley	★★ Very Good	Sat 2nd Apr 2016
Great novelty roof with per madras
	23	★★ You'll be right Mate	Sport 30m	Kaputar	★★ Very Good	Sun 24th Apr 2016
Would be classic if it wasn't Kaputar rock. Great varied climbing
	23	★★ Flesh Light Fantasy	Sport 26m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sat 2nd Jul 2016
A bit squeezed in.
	23	★★ Let's Nail God	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 17th Jul 2016
The draws were on, but with no chalk anywhere this was a nice crimp fest
	23	★★ Sting Like a Bee Direct (Sting Like a Bee)	Sport 19m, 6	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★ Good	Thu 6th Oct 2016
Ok, but way too many options
	23	★ Beef in Cider	Sport 30m, 9	Point Perpendicular	Average	Sun 4th Dec 2016
Someone called chris is threatening to chop the bolts. Although the lower part does climb independently of T O the tide, it doesn't add a lot to the wall.
	23	★★★ The Mind Boggles	Sport 40m, 18	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 17th Dec 2016
Some good climbing, nice and long, and the spaced bolts help the focus. Nice sting in the tail, tricky with buffeting winds
	23	★ Pufferfish	Sport 20m, 10	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Sun 29th Jan 2017
Some sharp little crimps.
	23	★★ The Send Train	Sport 18m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 23rd Sep 2017
Burly start, then some varied good climbing
	23	★★★ Diagonal du Fou	Sport 15m, 10	Mount Alexandra	★★★ Classic	Sun 5th Nov 2017
Some rather big moves to start and on the slab. The roof was fine, though I missed half the jugs
	23	★ Uncontrollable Urge	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 22nd Apr 2018
Actually liked this. Technical crux, stop whinging people, it is all there. Try a heel toe, flag combo for feet and a matchbox type hold you layoff/ undercling. Apparently flashed this a decade ago, but I don't remember climbing on this wall
	23	★ E Racer (Unknown Left of Racer's Edge)	Sport 30m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 19th May 2018
Well I did detour briefly into shakes as straight up seems contrived and pretty dangerous, and the other way goes into racers edge and is even more dangerous. Still felt enough to be 23, and very pleasant outing
	23	★★★ Sluj Gulpa - with David Gray 1 20 20m lead by Vanessa Wills 2 22 15 lead by David Gray 3 23 15 lead by Vanessa Wills	Sport 50m, 14	Mt Gibraltar	★★★ Classic	Sun 3rd Mar 2019
Been on the fridge list for a while, nice rock, varied great climbing
	23	★★ Desert Raven	Sport 20m	Bruny Island	★★★ Classic	Thu 20th Feb 2020
Was pleased to get through the lower cruxes and then found a difficult to reach upper crux. I couldn’t keep feet on ledge to get to crux hold,and did some improbable campusing to prevent falling off. I think the upper crux is definitely harder than 23 for vertically challenged. Great fight.
	23	★★★ Squealer	Sport 21m, 6	Mt Tibrogargan	★★ Very Good	Wed 12th Aug 2020
Including a diversion into madder after we clipped the wrong starting bolt. Nice powerful moves but the chalked up holds don’t leave much doubt as to where to go.
