	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 10th May 2009
#1: 38% humidity and cold. Struggled to connect first time with cold fingers. Went to beginning of crux and grabbed, clipped in and worked crux. Only managed it like 1 in 6 times. Not good!
	32	★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds ((Summer Project - Lee))	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Sat 7th Nov 2009
Linked clean from top of scoop to top.
	32	★★ Whistling Kite	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sat 29th Jul 2006
2 falls. One at foot stem move. One at top. [3/6]
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 13th Apr 2009
Shot 2: same. The good thing was that I climbed from under the gaston and completed the crux.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 30th May 2009
#3 10 min rest then go again (triple shot). Good stuff again, holding crimp, left hand pinging off.
	32	★★★ (Summer Project - Lee)	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Thu 21st Aug 2008
First day of toproping off DazzaNoosa's bolt. Clean to matched horizontal edge 1m below bolt.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 30th Apr 2009
Second shot. HIGH POINT. Slap to crimp. Feeling really strong even though I haven't been doing much but climbing this route due to dodgy elbow. Would have done the crux about 15 times - no skin issues due to cold conditions. Everything feels great!
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 19th Apr 2009
First shot, best yet. First time ever getting past the brick pinch to the crimp. Just barely slapped it. Did low link and snapped off my little sharp thumb catch on the gaston which has made it just that bit harder again. Man!!!
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 19th Apr 2009
Third shot best yet. Slapped crimp. Took the time to get my fingers deep in the slap down low (less gassing to clip). Found that pressure on my right fingers was an issue. Consider chalk in mesh pocket on right???
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 25th Apr 2009
The mixed bag day. Crap warm conditions. Fingers leaving greasy marks on the holds. Couldn't even make the third clip. Tried the low link into crux, fail. Struggled to even do the crux period.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Fri 10th Apr 2009
Shot 2. Fell move below brinck pinch. Moving the crozley crimp, felt like my chest was going to collapse. Lower. Beta: Need to work the section climbing INTO the crux, rather than just the crux moves.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 21st Mar 2009
Alright! Crazy crux move done (twice). My hardest move on rock? Absolutely brutally mutant hard.
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Thu 20th Jul 2006
1 fall 2m from top. [0/3]
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 16th Apr 2009
Second shot best yet. Grabbed the brick pinch but not good enough. Fell.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 16th Apr 2009
Third shot fell off crozley crimp.
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Thu 20th Jul 2006
Warm up. Muiras. [0/2]
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 14th May 2009
#1 - finger freeze, grabbed. did crux twice and didn't fail. came down.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 24th May 2009
#1 warm up shot
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 10th May 2009
#4: Breathing was the focus. Made the slap again, barely, bit low on power on shot #4. There's some subtlety on the brick pinch I've yet to decipher. Sometimes it feels locker, other times like a slippery catfish.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Tue 30th Sep 2008
Figured out a bunch of moves.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 19th Apr 2009
Second shot. Right hand snapped off the gaston - pure slippy. Grrr!
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 28th May 2009
#3 I think this was the best shot. Held crimp for like 3/4 of a second..
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)	★★ Very Good	Sat 11th Jul 2009
Nigel's final day (Day 5, 19 shots). Did his more direct crux beta three times. Hard, but less percentage-y...
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 16th Apr 2009
Fourth shot got to brick pinch but didnt get it good. Beta: Only grab gaston with 3 fingers. Also did the low link again this shot. Cool.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Wed 8th Apr 2009
BEST shot yet. Climbed from the ground through the hard slap, skip clip up to the brick pinch crux, melted off. Big fall. Lower off.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 4th Apr 2009
First two bolts, fell slapping R. Dogged up and did the crux move once (out of eight tries). Beta: shift the R-hand undercling further R before trying the slap.
	32	★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds ((Summer Project - Lee))	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Thu 22nd Oct 2009
Bowl moves, got both feet up, but didn't seem to help much.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 28th May 2009
#2 stupid chalk bag idea blew up in my face
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 24th May 2009
#3 with detroit rock city playing, it was eternity +1.1. felt very close to sticking. best yet.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)	★★ Very Good	Sat 13th Jun 2009
Getting the gear off. Nearly shed a tear.
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sat 26th Aug 2006
Warm up. [5/9]
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 28th May 2009
#5 Bit tired by this stage. Did hit the crimp but not as good.. 17th day trying.
	32	★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds ((Summer Project - Lee))	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Sat 9th Jan 2010
Went up to top and removed draws. No point them being there until I can do the start...
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 30th Apr 2009
Third shot. Fell on slap to crimp again. Beta: Figured out I need to point my R toe in the flag like a ballerina. This is the easiest way on the crux. Also started trying the SUPER LOW LINK for the first time (not clipped, climbing from the slap). Tried 3 times and stuck it on the third try briefly, then fell. Gah! Close.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 21st Mar 2009
Tried the top rope idea. FAIL. Too steep..
	32	★★ Whistling Kite	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sat 29th Jul 2006
1st lead. To ledge clean. Dog to top. [1/4]
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 21st Mar 2009
Tried the top rope idea. FAIL. Too steep.
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sun 25th Jun 2006
Dare to dream.
	32	★★★ (Summer Project - Lee)	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Sat 9th Jan 2010
Worked start with Dunc. Locking nicely, then R heel-toe. Haven't yet done move up with L hand, or move to horn..
	31	★★★ (SuperProject - Duncan)	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)	Average	Sun 5th Jun 2005
Couldn't be harder
	32	★★★ (Summer Project - Lee)	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Wed 21st Oct 2009
Drilled most of the U-bolts today. About five tries at the start, decided to pursue the left option rather than direct to the horn which is "impossible".
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 21st Mar 2009
A pivotal shot for working out the clips. Dunc spotted the R-hander (shared w/ Pretender) for the crucial high clip. Now had a workable sequence from ground to crux. Rebolt required.
	32	★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds ((Summer Project - Lee))	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Thu 5th Nov 2009
Linked from base of slab to hand-knee switcheroo in headwall (fell). There to top clean.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Fri 10th Apr 2009
Shot 1. Best effort on the crux. Did it 4 or 5 times, and by pressing the flagged foot against the wall, got more stable for the crux throw to crimp.
	32	★★★ (Summer Project - Lee)	Sport 23m, 10	Mt Coolum		Sat 12th Dec 2009
Worked start with Azza. Can get to pinch nicely, but can't move feet usefully to set up for moving to horn
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 21st Mar 2009
Alright! Crazy crux move done (twice). My hardest move on rock? Absolutely brutally mutant hard...
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Thu 14th May 2009
#4 High point, slapped crimp.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 26th Feb 2012
First try since the FFA. Did all moves, but not all clips. Super hard. Obviously.
	33	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 26th Feb 2012
Hurt something in my right hand on the opening easy moves. Weird. Go home.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 3rd Mar 2012
Gearing up, sorted now. Worked out a way to avoid the crazy twisty clip. Did the runout to the top without clipping for the first time, fell, smashed through tree, 2 branches snapped.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 3rd Mar 2012
Skipped 2nd clip for first time to clip 3rd, just. Fell on crozley pinch. Went through and forgot how to flip L. Sorted clip more. Went from here to final dyno clean, fell, brushed tree. Worked finale, went to top.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 17th Mar 2012
Humid, and not a breath of breeze. Good training! Went from the ground to the mid clip (didn't do clip). Worked to top.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 17th Mar 2012
Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Made the 3rd clip from the ground, fell going to the pinch. And then from under there to the top clean. 1 hung! Cold weather and wind. Bring it.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 17th Mar 2012
Fell at second clip on crozley hold, accuracy. Then from here to 3rd clip and up, fingers shredded off the pinch. Then to top clean.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 24th Mar 2012
#1 - 24°C but no breeze. Fell going out R to the pocket.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 24th Mar 2012
#2 Highpoint! Fell hitting the blind right hander.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 24th Mar 2012
#3 Fell, salmoning up to the R-hand pinch. Juiced.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 9th Apr 2012
Hot day. #1 - fell going to final hold. Pretty good.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 9th Apr 2012
#2 - best shot yet. fell from final hold. didn't get the blade strong enough.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 9th Apr 2012
#3 - wow, completely out of juice. fell before the pinch.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Fri 6th Apr 2012
#1 highpoint. I think blade.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Fri 6th Apr 2012
#2 highpoint. I think going for dyno.
	33 32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)		Fri 6th Apr 2012
#3 highpoint. final hold.
	32	★★★ The Don	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 12th Apr 2012
Second ascent of THE mega route of my local cliff. The best movement of any hard route I've ever been on. It really is that good. Stoked! 7 days, 18 attempts.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 12th May 2012
Back on with Dunc, having a play. Ah the memories.
	32	★★★ The Singularity	Sport 17m	The Pulpit (private land)		Sun 27th Apr 2014
Quick burn on Robbie's send day - 6th shot! That's the third ascent.
	32	★★ Alpha Leather - with Jake Bresnehan, brecon	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains		Fri 8th Jun 2018
Just having an initial test of the moves. Kinda encouraging. Did all moves bar first crux stretch.
	32	★★ Alpha Leather - with Jake Bresnehan, brecon	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains		Fri 8th Jun 2018
Working that first crux move until skin stopped play.
5.14a
	5.14a	★★★ Zulu - with Sammi	Sport	Rifle Mountain Park		Sun 22nd Jul 2018
To the top. But at least 3 moves I didn't manage to do including the low dyno to the sika hold (crux move for sure), and the weird top corner/slab transition. A very cool endurance monster, with none of the kneebar rests you may expect.
	5.14a	All The Pretty Horses - with Sammi	Sport	Rifle Mountain Park		Sun 28th Jul 2019
Proj shopping. Thought I was on Der Pure. An undercling in the low crux boulder started to crumble on me so I called it.
32
	32	★★★ Punks in the Gym - with Jake Bresnehan	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Arapiles		Fri 25th Mar 2022
1.5 hours dogging around, experiencing a piece of climbing history. Did all moves up to and including the birdbath drive-by. Struggled after, didn't really get stood up. Also struggled on the lower heel move, kinda managed it once. Toasted by the time I lowered off. A 20+ year dream to get on this route.
	32	★★★ Punks in the Gym - with Jake Bresnehan	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Arapiles		Sat 26th Mar 2022
Punks shot #2. Hot, face melting. Was mostly keen to experience the top section. Climbed clean to below the heel move, pulled through. Climbed from the rest and stuck the drive-by, couldn't stand up, then pulled through. Did the rest of moves, not nicely, with screaming skin. Then drive 11 hours home!
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Mon 1st May 2023
First time back on after 17 years. A bit of an exploration following Duncan's funeral to feel that connection again and consider if I want to commit further. [11]
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite — 2 attempts - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sat 15th Jul 2023
Commencing the campaign. 2 working TR burns. [13]
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite — 2 attempts - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sun 16th Jul 2023
Hot, 15-17C and 65%. Zero breeze. 2x TR burns both with 1 fall at crux #2. Very good considering conditions. [15]
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite — 2 attempts - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Tue 18th Jul 2023
Overnight rain and drizzle in the morning. No wind. 85% humidity. Burn 1 shaky to ledge, fell on crux 2, then climbed from the bolt to the top clean in the worst conditions. Almost as proud of this effort as a clean send. - Burn 2 more confident. Fell crux 2, then for some reason my boots just started visibly sliding off the holds [17]
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Wed 19th Jul 2023
No wind at the cliff but at least dry. Almost fell off the start. Did fall on crux 2 and decided to throw out my beta for something new with one shot remaining. Didn't go to top. [18]
	32 ~31	★★ Whistling Kite - with Sammi, Erik Smits	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Wed 19th Jul 2023
So, so happy to come full circle this particular journey that has so much meaning because of Duncan and his role in my climbing and life. 10 days, but split by 17 years. So crazy. In this instance, the grade of the route has no meaning to me. But with few repeats it's probably important to at least contribute an opinion. Two of the seven previous ascentionists have suggested 31 for a pre-placed gear ascent. I'm happy enough to agree with that, noting that when this route is led placing the gear, which I see happening soon, I feel 32 is deserved. [19]
V10
	V10	★★★ Rocket Man - with Doug McConnell, Sammi	Boulder 3m	The Balkans		Sun 19th Jul 2020
First double digit boulder, super fun. Around 6 tries. Definitely suited me.
V10 R
	V10 V10 R	★★★ American Siege - with Doug McConnell	Boulder	The Balkans		Sun 19th Jul 2020
Didn't get the sidepull well enough.

	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 12th Mar 2011
First try of the new concept. Felt really stong on the individual moves, but that didn't last.
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 12th Mar 2011
Breeze died and I struggled to do anything much.
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 12th Mar 2011
Spent time figuring the 5 moves linking the two routes. I did do it very neatly once. So it's possible that way.
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 26th Mar 2011
Up to link, fell, went through and dogged Shaden with Tom's better beta, doing the new move first attempt. Wow - that's easier!!
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Sat 26th Mar 2011
Clean through the link for the first time, heelhook, L hand reach, good, then fell. Arms toasted. Re-sorted R foot flag.
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Wed 20th Apr 2011
Up to traverse. Remember R foot up first. Did pretty good on Schaden. To top.
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 25th Apr 2011
1st truly good day. Up, through traverse, heel, reach, first undercling, feet up, fell on next undercling throw. Then from low, to top.
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 25th Apr 2011
First shot of day, went up and dicked up the traverse I think. Then to top?
	31/32	★★★ Kingfisher (This Goes With That)	Sport 7	The Pulpit (private land)		Mon 25th Apr 2011
Last try, went up and had my L hand snap off on the traverse. Lowered and went up Beautiful Thing.
