7c | ★ El Chocco | 8 | Brean Down | ★ Good | Mon 26th Sep 2016 | |||
6b all the way with one tricky mantle at the top. The classical heartbreaking route...

26 | ★★ Mr Wendle - with Ben Jenga, Paul Frothy Thomson | 10m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 26th Sep 2016 | |||
At long last. One of these Blueys special that don't feel hard but yet take way too long to tick. The dyno was the crux thanks to my short (ish) ass...
This will (probably) never be a mega classic, but it's a fun little route

24 | ★★ Pallets of Pies - with Geoff Johnston-Hall | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 31st Jul 2016 | |||
Tried to onsight this on my first day out in Oz over 1-year ago. Went back on it last Sunday to finish it...
Very soft, but good fun, which is the most important

7a | ★★ Pearl Harbour | 15m | Brean Down | ★ Good | Mon 26th Sep 2016 | |||
7b+ | ★★ Tide Rising | Brean Down | ★★ Very Good | Mon 26th Sep 2016 | ||||
Great route. Meant be hard for the grade, but well worth it
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Storm Warning | Brean Down | ★★ Very Good | Sat 27th Sep 2014 | ||||
Very nice. After having done Chulilla, this went down quite quick.
I did spend A LOT of time on Storm Warning Variation (Fr8a), which is not listed here, but never ticked it.
The Variation takes the first half of Storming Warning (also share with Black Snake Moan and Brean Topping, 8a and 8b respectively). After the break it goes straight back into Chulilla (instead of traversing horizontally). As a consequence you arrive backwards in the crux of Chulilla. Probably makes more sense at the crag...

7b+ | ★★ Chulilla | Brean Down | ★ Good | Mon 26th Sep 2016 | ||||
Meant to be easy for the grade, but he bouldery style didn't suit me at the time. It took me a good few goes
Can pretty much be broken down in 2 two halves if you take the good rest at the break

7a+ | ★★★ Berlin | Cardiff and Newport crags | ★★★ Classic | Sat 28th Sep 2013 | ||||
second go.
classic of the crag. Ironically, I messed up the start, but did find on the slabby section.

23 | ★★ Alien Signature - with Mitch Perkins | 19m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 31st Dec 2016 | |||
I went on this close to 18 months ago after a morning at Ben Trovator, which wasn't my best idea...
Screwed up as a warm up, but did it second go of the day. Quite pleased with that, just annoyed I sent one of Mitch's draw flying while cleaning the route.

25 | ★★★ Escape From the Drilling Fields (Trigga Nigga) - with Ben Jenga, Paul Frothy Thomson | 20m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 24th Jun 2017 | |||
got pumped on the warm up which was also a flash and asked for a take after having spent hours clipping the last bolt, i.e. one move away from the jugs. I know...
Cold and numb fingers on the second shot and fell before clipping the same last bolt.
Ticked the route on my third shot, skipping that blinking last bolt altogether
