Medlow Bath The Sunbath
	17	★ Cardinal Fang	Sport 15m, 5	Average
I think this is what i got on. Felt very thin for 17
	19	★★ Burger Boys — 2 attempts	Sport 10m, 5	★ Good
A short balancy section and many many bolts
	14	★★ Mañana — 2 attempts	Sport 22m, 8	★★ Very Good
One of the best beginner routes anywhere. Shauns first climb and lead

Sat 10th Dec 2022 - Point Perpendicular
The Lighthouse Rex Hunt's Area
	21	★★★ Rex Hunt's Love Child	Sport 30m, 10	★★ Very Good

Fri 9th Dec 2022 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach	Sport 15m, 6	★★ Very Good
One move in the scoops was harder than i remember, but the top was easier. Go figure
	21	★★ Shifting Sands	Sport 15m, 5	★★★ Classic
Better than day at the beach i reckon. Not really run out as suggested in the guide, bolts are well placed
Fri 9th Dec 2022 - Nowra

Always a pleasure
Fri 9th Dec 2022 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	23	★★★ Still Life — 2 attempts	Sport 10m, 4	★★★ Classic
Thought i had it in the bag, but each time i tried the low crux it felt worse. Seems a hard onsight, but not too bad once you've got a sequence
Fri 9th Dec 2022 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
	22	★★ Killer Boas	Sport 10m
Lovely moves but the action is over very quickly

Interesting and thin, almost got to the top, but then the sun struck
Mon 5th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grand Junction Wall
	23	★★★ Alliterating Austrian Ostrich	Sport 30m	★★ Very Good

Mon 5th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Hot Flyer Wall

Sun 4th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
	23	★ Hairy Horrace	Sport 12m	★ Good
Alright but not special. More than two grades easier than Paddington
	25	★ Horrace Herod	Sport 12m	★ Good
Just had a play, really it only comes down to one meter of awkwardness
	25	★★ Padington	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
Still can't pull the crux move
	25	★★★ Madge McDonald — 2 attempts	Sport 12m, 7	★★★ Classic
Two more goes. Got the bottom moves, but I'm spending too much effort and pumping out
Sun 4th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Junket Pumper Area
	24	★★ Junket Pumper — 2 attempts	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Finally it goes, after saying for over a year that it should.
Sat 3rd Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall
	22	★★ Spread 'em Baby	Sport 25m	★★ Very Good
The real business is short, but it's good fun. Don't go too high
	23	★★ Cutopia — 2 attempts	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Much much nicer with good friction, felt fine today
	21	★★ Chasing Amy	Sport 22m	★★★ Mega Classic
Always nice. However today it was absolutely covered in loose chalk, tried to brush it as best i could, but it's not a good look
	19	★ 1800Traverse	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
Interesting climb, but not an ideal warm up
Sat 26th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Pierces Pass Bunny Bucket Buttress and Hotel California Area
	22	★★★ Hotel California 1 22 45m Sport The crux felt hard and a tad greasy, took a fall. After this theres a few deep lock offs that probably earn 22 2 20 30m Sport Lovely pitch 3 17 40m Sport A bit bland, possible to link into the next pitch to save rope admin 4 10 35m Sport Linked 5 17 30m Sport Bit chossy 6 19 50m Second Left the money pitch for courtney, exposed and fun 7 20 30m Sport Nice and not too hard at the grade. Linked it 8 18 25m Sport Follows on an easy link from the previous 9 20m Sport Walk 10 16 20m Second Shit but you've gotta escape somehow	Sport 330m	★★★ Classic
A fun day out, the first pitch is hard as everyone knows, but the rest is pretty cruisy, and as it has a couple of easier pitches 8 hours car to car was chill. With a 70 can link pitches 3+4 and 7+8
Fri 25th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
	24	★ Cave Route — 2 attempts	Sport 10m, 4	★ Good

Always a pleasure
Thu 24th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Adults Only Cave
	26 M0	★★★ The Way of All Flesh M0 — 3 attempts	Sport 22m	★★★ Classic
All the moves feeling solid now, linked some sections, but it's still a lot to link
Sun 20th Nov 2022 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
	20	★★ Retro Crack	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Classic
Great sustained cracking! go for it.(guess this is an amnesia onsight, didnt think id done it before)
	17	★★★ Wacky Tabacci	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Classic
Fun, silly, why not!
	23	★★ Imogen	Sport 15m, 7	★★★ Classic
Nice and interesting route. The start probably isnt two grades harder than the rest, but it is nervy if you dont have the third clipped (first two are low).
	23	★★★ Hercules Extension	Sport 22m	★★ Very Good
Continued after the main route, and took one fall on the big throw move. All went fine second go, but didnt want to go all the way from the ground again.
	22	★★ Hercules	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic
Great cruising up fun but ambiguous holds. Well worth it!
Sat 19th Nov 2022 - Bonnet Bay
	21	★ A1	Sport 14m, 5
Nice and chill toppy
	24	★★★ Lean Beef — 2 attempts	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Classic

A fun little climb, few harder moves near the top, but it's all there
Sun 13th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains

	17	★ How Much Is A Duck Worth	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Warmup as always

Just to clean
	21	★★ Duck Tits	Sport 16m	★★★ Classic
To run a rope up
	24	★★★ Pluck-a-Duck	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic
First go working it again
	24	★★★ Pluck-a-Duck	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic
Second go blew the crux, not enough friction
	24	★★★ Pluck-a-Duck	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic
New high point, so bloody close. Fell going to the jug below the mantle. Almost
	20	★ Pekin Duck	Sport 20m
Spicy. That little link section was probably the hardest move, and also an interesting fall if you took it. But fun little thing to end the day, probably one more pitch than i neeeded.
Thu 10th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point East Faces Subliminal Wall
	23	★★★ Subliminal	Sport 92m, 33	★★★ Classic
Nice and clean this time, despite the devices not playing ball. Top mantle and top pitch still a tad wet but otherwise prefect conditions
Sun 6th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Egg
	24	★★ Red Demon	Sport 14m	★★★ Classic
Closer, but messed my sequence
	24	★★ Red Demon	Sport 14m	★★★ Classic
Sequences sorted, but too tired. Classic route
	24	★★ Funky Monkey	Sport 14m, 8	★ Good
Few fat moves, then it chills. Dogged it as a warm up
	24	★★ Red Demon	Sport 14m	★★★ Classic
Thought i might try a flash. That idea didn't last long
Sat 5th Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath Reservoir Dogs
	21	★★ Danger Freak	Sport 38m, 13	★★★ Classic
Maybe my favourite route here. Consistently interesting, shame about the name
	20	★★ Bohemiath	Sport 37m, 14	★ Good
Sustained, worthwhile
	21	★★ Flex Time	Sport 40m, 16	★★ Very Good
Probably the hardest route here, has both thin and powerful sections
	19	★★ Stuck in the Middle with You	Sport 38m, 15	★★ Very Good
Delicate and thin. Fun but harder than some of the higher grade routes
	20 22	★★ Wake Up and Apologise	Sport 38m, 16	★ Good
Honestly this was pretty chill, not sure why its the 22. Fun but not memorable
	21	★★★ My Way or the Highway	Sport 39m, 11	★★ Very Good
Lots of fun jug hauling, marred by a loose hold at the crux roof
Thu 3rd Nov 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
	23	★★ The Never Believers	Sport 15m, 8	★★ Very Good
All the moves, but it's pumpy towards the top
	23	★★ The Never Believers	Sport 15m, 8	★★ Very Good
Nearly
	23	★★ The Never Believers	Sport 15m, 8	★★ Very Good
Last go, opening sequence felt like shit. Next time
Sun 30th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Heathcliff
	18	★★ Fake Blood	Sport 20m, 10	★★ Very Good
Nice warm up
	19	★ Pete Rhodes	Sport 25m, 9	Average
Very reachy little pitch, if you're short it might even be harder than the pitches above
	22	★★★ Ricardo Lagos	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic
Sustained and interesting all the way
	19	★★ The Rift	Sport 55m	★ Good
Some interesting sections, some less so. Note that the anchors are 8m below the top. To finish you'll need to climb an easy section with a couple carrots. Felt spicy with no bolt plates
	22	★★ Kate Bush	Sport 20m, 8	★ Good
Pretty chill after a couple thin moves at the start
Sat 29th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Bald Head Long Routes
	19	★★★ Weld Party	Sport 80m, 45	★★ Very Good
This was my rest day apparently
Fri 28th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Pit Sector 'Sunny Side'
	25	★★★ Magnitude	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic
Didnt feel any better, need to wait a while before returning.
	25	★★★ Magnitude	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic
Top felt ok, but the crux is still impossible for me
Thu 27th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Ben Trovato Wall
	25	★★★ Kizashi	Sport 20m, 12	★★★ Classic
Bolt to bolt to refamiliarise myself
	25	★★★ Kizashi	Sport 20m, 12	★★★ Classic
Improved some sequences, and now the top move isn't the crux
	25	★★★ Kizashi	Sport 20m, 12	★★★ Classic
Linked lots of it, tiny beta changes, but still pumpy as fuck
Thu 27th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Choc Chip Chai Sector
	21	★★ Vlad the Invader	Sport 17m, 8	★ Good
Pretty soft but pretty fun. Not as chossy as it looks
Sat 15th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Lower Zap
	18	★ Mr McGlue	Sport 20m	★ Good
Cleaning lap
	25	★★★ High Tension	Sport 25m, 10	★★★ Classic
Bottom half went ok, then bolt to bolt
	25	★★★ High Tension	Sport 25m, 10	★★★ Classic
Linked lots of sections, the big rests will help. But the end really is a heartbreaker. For next time, use far left of final hold, high feet and up to slopy corner before finishing. Bring long draw.
Sat 15th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Upper Zap
	22	★★ Jug Buzz	Sport 15m, 6	★★ Very Good
Nice big moves and bumps but quite short. Decent warm up
Thu 13th Oct 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
	23	★★ Split Wave	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
Pumpy but went down the second go
	21	★ Hang Five	Sport 15m, 5	★ Good
End of the day, Took a rest near the top and a wet final hold. Decent warm up
	23	★ Off the Lip	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good
Easy till the cruxy little traverse. Hard rock over
	23	★★ Split Wave	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
Silly beta fail
Sun 18th Sep 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Hat Hill Crag
	25	★★ Mad Hatter	Sport 17m, 8	★★ Very Good
Got shut down on the one crux move, but linked everyting else. Need to work on big moves off heels
	22	★★ Fedora	Sport 18m, 8	★★ Very Good
Sustained and interesting. Took quite a fight for a 22.
	23	★★ Swallow the Fly	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good
Felt like two pitches either side of a hands free. Fought really hard, but the top was just a little too sustained. Next time
	21	★ Cat in the Hat	Sport 15m, 5	★★ Very Good
Better and more sustained than the 20, but no individually hard moves.
	20	★ Dinosaur Train	Sport 13m, 5	Average
One hard and thoughtful crux move, but the rest is average
Fri 16th Sep 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
	25	★★★ Rubber Lover	Sport 20m, 5	★★ Very Good
Sustained but not hard till the crux, but those last couple moves are tough. All moves first go
	25	★★★ Rubber Lover	Sport 20m, 5	★★ Very Good
Working it
	25	★★★ Rubber Lover	Sport 20m, 5	★★ Very Good
Two drops to the top
Thu 8th Sep 2022 - Joll's Bridge
Lower cliffline
	19	★★ Jam on Fish	Sport 35m	★★★ Classic
More sustained so a higher quality climb. Also easier to top solo due to direct line and lack of roofs
	22	★★ B Jam	Sport 40m, 13	★ Good
Few hard moves above the roofs but interesting
Sun 28th Aug 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
	24	★★ Goosebumps	Sport 10m, 4	★★ Very Good
Little play at the end of the day. First time that all the moves went. Top was wet so i stopped below the anchor
Sun 28th Aug 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
	19	★★ Mike and Lorna go to Town	Sport 25m, 6	★ Good
Nice but similar to all the other routes nearby
	20	★ Change Junkies	Sport 20m	★ Good
Seems a little silly that there's three remaining carrots, but they don't take away from the route much. One section seems to encroach a little on the route to the left
	22	★★ Lady Grinning Soul	Sport 25m, 7	★★ Very Good
Crux felt cool
	24	★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman	Sport 15m, 7	★★★ Classic
All the moves felt good the first time up
	24	★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman	Sport 15m, 7	★★★ Classic
But on the red point i found it really greasy. Next time
Fri 26th Aug 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Flake Crack Area
	13	★ Sincerity	Sport 14m, 4	Average
Maybe the slabbiest slab in the mountains. Half of the moves are no handed which is entertaining.
	21	★ Sincerity Direct Finish	Sport 16m	Average
Harder, but not that much harder than the easy variant. Balancy
Sun 14th Aug 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Lower Zap
	22	★★ Foo Foo the Cordless Draw Monkey	Sport 20m	★ Good
Fun jug hauling, but the bolting seems to try and take you off the line. Recent broken rock (before me) at the crux may have made it more difficult. I cleaned up the remaining choss as well as i could with just hands and brush.
	18	★ Mr McGlue	Sport 20m	★ Good
Hard to read, but not hard to climb.
	20	★ Resistor	Sport 20m, 5	★ Good
The crux is pretty tough at the grade, but it's an interesting sequence. The rest is a jug haul
	20	★ Resistor	Sport 20m, 5	★ Good
Fell trying to work out the crux
	22	★★ Foo Foo the Cordless Draw Monkey	Sport 20m	★ Good
Not too hard really once you know the sequence
