Fri 26th Apr 2024 - The Hide Away | ||||||
Grey Slab | ||||||
18 | ★ Wet Fridays | 14m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Good, though had some difficulty summiting the bulge thing with awkward feet placements.
|
||||||
19 Hard | ★ Leed Lemon | 13m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
That anchor! What a contrived pain at the end. Got into trouble getting stuck under the roof figuring out how I was unwind myself to reach the anchor, annoying feet to reach this contrived end.
|
||||||
19 Hard | ★ Dob in a Dumper | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Nice, quite varied climbing, anchor is hmm a bit contrived to the left.
|
||||||
20 Hard | ★★ Tapering | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Interesting one, Mr. Bundy. Committing but satisfying crux.
|
||||||
Mon 1st Apr 2024 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Lower Blue Mountains Glenbrook Bluffs | ||||||
14 ~15 | Dip your bread in Gladys | 5m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
10 | ★ Choad of Choad Hall | 8m | ★ Good | |||
16 Hard | Professor Gysbergers I presume | 8m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Potential for harder route on the right side of arete.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Stopping All Stations | 10m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Unclear from description and assorted bolts on site how to start this correctly. Quite mossy on the traverse.
|
||||||
15 ~16 | ★ Freja's Slab | 5m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Ok slab action, a little insecure and slippery.
|
||||||
Sat 30th Mar 2024 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall | ||||||
22 | ★ Lay la Kay | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
I charged into this route like a raging bull, no stick clip or beta needed for me. Was soon huffing and puffing but held firm and fought on to the end. Quite good sustained climbing.
|
||||||
19 Hard | ★ Sloper for Saddam | 15m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very punchy, burly start (maybe a bit too burly for the grade?) and fun fun climbing.
|
||||||
18 | ★ A Tale of Two Cities | 12m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Outstanding climbing. A million chalked holds but you only need a fraction of them so can you choose your own style of climbing on this excellent rock route.
|
||||||
21 | ★ Friendly Fire | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Some quite nice climbing.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Little Diego | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Technical feet. A little sharp on the hands at the end of session.
|
||||||
Sat 30th Mar 2024 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Mossy Wall | ||||||
14 ~15 | ★ Fucary Rug | 15m, 5 | ||||
19 | ★ Shadow the Goat | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
18 ~17 | ★ Death of the Moss Monster | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great warm up, just one hard move for the grade.
|
||||||
Sat 16th Mar 2024 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Central Area | ||||||
18 | ★★ Dora the Explorer (and the lost crack of gold.) | 30m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
No joke you need the full 60m. A trimmed 59m rope would be too short!
|
||||||
21 | ★ Crimp da buttock | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Very slow and cautious onsight, a little tricky to read the buttock.
|
||||||
Sat 3rd Feb 2024 - Coalcliff | ||||||
The Quarterdeck The Alcove | ||||||
17 | ★ Powerful Owl | 10m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent! Must check out. This is the fun warmup you want.
|
||||||
Sat 6th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab | ||||||
17 ~18 | ★ Burning Jowls | 18m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
18 Hard | ★ The Bandoline Grip | 18m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Curious uniform wear pattern on the rap off ring.
|
||||||
Sun 19th Nov 2023 - Bangor West | ||||||
19 | ★ Buzz Boys Beat | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
I ended up using the crack, it just felt too contrived otherwise. Anchors are above the crack, setting this as a toprope makes for a great beginners climb on the adjacent 'trad' route!
|
||||||
17 | ★ Grotto Crack | 9m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Climbs alright. Carrot anchors.
|
||||||
21 | ★ End of the Decade | 11m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Runout from 2nd bolt to end, could use another for comfort.
|
||||||
19 Hard | ★★ Please Don't Piss Here Either | 8m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Mon 30th Oct 2023 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point Lizard Block | ||||||
19 | ★★ Heil Von Abbott | 20m | ★ Good | |||
18 | ★★ Taco Kisses | 28m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
20 Hard | ★ Diplomatic Immunity | 27m | ★ Good | |||
Hard suspended motion onsight. Shutdown at the crux figuring out what to do. Three possible options were presented, eventually decided to go left of the crack. Unclear if this was the right way. Top section a bit sandy, some fragile holds.
|
||||||
21 ~19 | ★★ You wish jellyfish | 28m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Total sandpit near the bottom, but then very enjoyable easy chimney style climbing.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Blue Steel | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Sat 7th Oct 2023 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Boronia Point Main Wall (Ferris Cave) | ||||||
22 | ★★ Eucalyptus (Link-up) | 20m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent link up, worth doing as a warm up here.
|
||||||
Sat 7th Oct 2023 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Boronia Point Ancient Mariner Buttress | ||||||
19 | ★ Ancient Mariner | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
So cold, struggling with numb fingers
|
||||||
17 | ★ Mr. Curly | 10m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Sat 16th Sep 2023 - Nowra | ||||||
The Grotto Cliffline Hogwarts | ||||||
21 ~22 | ★★ Is Graeme Hill Severus Snape? | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
What a strange rad climb. Bit of a confused struggle on the onsight, found myself horizontal at the second bolt. Very nice rock.
|
||||||
15 | ★ Sirius Black | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
20 ~19 | ★ The Golden Snitch | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very nice climbing. Easy at grade.
|
||||||
Sat 26th Aug 2023 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Between the First Cave and the Vox Populi wall | ||||||
20 Hard | ★★ Chook | 16m | ★ Good | |||
Fun start. Headwall a bit of a lunge.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ The Nose in 4 Minutes | 9m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent fun moves to start, I then think I stayed too far left and the mantle was pretty struggle. Inspected on descent, could jug further to the right to make it easier to gain gain ground.
|
||||||
Sat 24th Jun 2023 - Bangor West | ||||||
22 ~21 | ★ Pyromaniac Direct Start | 9m | ||||
21 | ★ Killer's Kidneys | 8m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
20 | ★ Sports Injury Clinic | 10m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
A bit desperate running it out to clip the first bolt! Stick clip this in future.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Tits and Bits | 10m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
20 ~19 | ★ Flash as a rat | 12m, 3 | ★ Good | |||

16 | ★ Grandma's Wheelchair | 10m, 4 | ||||
16 ~17 | ★ New Generation | 10m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Pretty stiff crux over first bolt. Going round the corner after doesn't add any value.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Another kind of rainbow | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great fun, great positions, one for the aspiring roof pumpers.
|
||||||
Sat 17th Jun 2023 - GFC | ||||||
Westy Wall | ||||||
18 | ★★ Goober Boots | 14m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

|
||||||
Sat 17th Jun 2023 - GFC | ||||||

20 | ★★ Donkey Kong | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Some tricky moves, a hard one for the onsight.

|
||||||
23 ~22 | ★★ Arêtica | 15m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Super rad, jugs and exposure on good rock.
|
||||||
Sat 17th Jun 2023 - GFC | ||||||
Angry Ant Area | ||||||
22 ~21 | ★★ FOMO | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
21 ~20 | ★ Fix this Mikl | 11m | ★ Good | |||
Sandy! Fix this Mikl? Otherwise some nice rock and moves.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Harem | 10m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

Sun 11th Jun 2023 - Berowra | ||||||
Ladder of Gloom Area | ||||||
22 | ★★ Ladder of Death | 10m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Such a rad line. Blast out burly start then a victory lap of jugs on an amazing rock formation. Perfect kneebar and even full thigh-bar! Chopping the double anchor was a mistake, had to rig up a silly configuration using both anchor sets to clean efficiently.
|
||||||
Sun 11th Jun 2023 - Berowra | ||||||
Pimple Buttress | ||||||
11 ~14 | ★ ThreeSandShoes | 5m, 2 | ★ Good | |||

Sun 11th Jun 2023 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave | ||||||
18 | ★ Black Adder | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Doesn't look the most appealing, but climbs well enough.
|
||||||
Sat 3rd Jun 2023 - Nowra | ||||||

17 | ★★ Bullwinkle | 15m | ★ Good | |||

17 | ★ D Sports Variant | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Bolts, everywhere! Any number of meandering options.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Deception | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Nice slabbing on quality rock, shame about the approach (gully).
|
||||||
19 | ★ Quart de Seicle | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Nice slabbing on quality rock, shame about the approach.
|
||||||
Sat 8th Apr 2023 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
The First Cave | ||||||
20 ~22 | ★ Death of a New Car Salesman | 10m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Not much on this route made sense. The line of bolts??? Desperate flailing onsight.
|
||||||
12 | ★ Schools out for Summer. | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
12 | ★ Permitted Exercise | 18m, 7 | ★ Good | |||

A bit harder then Silver Hands.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Silver Hands | 9m | ★★ Very Good | |||
You only get to onsight it once!
|
||||||
Sat 26th Nov 2022 - Nowra | ||||||
Bomaderry Creek Mortein Wall | ||||||
18 ~19 | ★ Fribble | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
A bit stiff on onsight, missed a key hold. Very different bottom section to top section.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Bug Itch | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very comfortable and enjoyable climbing, not too hard, not too soft, just right! Best one on the wall.

||||||
Sun 11th Sep 2022 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall | ||||||
18 | ★★ Planet Mossvale | 28m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Huge route, really quite airy and exposed. A bit confused on the traverse with all the other bolts.
|
||||||
Sun 11th Sep 2022 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point Vanderholics Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★ Freak Magnet | 20m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very hard onsight, route is quite difficult to read and you use a lot of energy crimping those thin sections figuring it out.
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ Vanderholics | 25m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Yep pretty classic, amazing rock
|
||||||
18 | ★ Gina Hardface | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Bolt placement a bit odd, chimneying the corner?
|
||||||

19 | ★ Organo Cockacide | 7m, 3 | ★ Good | |||

The Town Cliffs Tumbledown | ||||||
17 | ★ Dettol | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
16 | ★ Hey Dude, Wheres My Glasses | 14m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Tricky end. Difficulty more or less the same as the others.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ 17 My Arse | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Confirmed rad! Great moves a couple of tricky sections for the onsight. Could be easier then 20 once you know the tricks.
