With HB - fell on crux #1, lowered back.
	30 29	★★★ Serpentine	Mixed trad 75m, 11	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 24th May 2007
Last day of trip, last shot, sun setting, belayed by HB himself. What's better than Mega Classic? 7th shot over 4 days. I can quit climbing now.
	30 29	★★★ Serpentine	Mixed trad 75m, 11	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre		Wed 23rd May 2007
With Neil - fell on crux #1 then to top cleanly
	30 29	★★★ Serpentine	Mixed trad 75m, 11	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre		Thu 24th May 2007
With HB - fell 5m from top. 100% effort. Almost cried.
	30 29	★★★ Serpentine	Mixed trad 75m, 11	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre		Tue 22nd May 2007
With JJ - fell on crux #1. Then had to replace all JJ's trad gear with my gear because he ticked it - exhaustion!
	30 29	★★★ Serpentine	Mixed trad 75m, 11	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre		Tue 22nd May 2007
With JJ - sat before crux #1
	22	★★ Titan I Am	Mixed trad 25m, 10	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 31st Aug 2013
Finally! Super duper good, but I'm biased
	22	★★ Titan I Am	Mixed trad 25m, 10	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Tue 22nd Apr 2014
Carter photoshoot on this today. Climbed the business about 30 times The pics look amazing, you'll see.
	24	★★ Land of Green Navels - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 10	Blue Mountains		Thu 28th May 2015
Thought this was Golliwog Grades. Wondered why there was a 8-10m runout. Fell in the horrible, sandy, wet mini-corner above the fixed carabiner beneath the small roof up top.
	24	★★ Land of Green Navels - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner	Mixed trad 30m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Tue 7th Jul 2015
Took a cam this time and was much happier. Still a tricky proposition up the top. [2]
	18	★★★ On Both Sides of the Glass Direct - with Sammi 1 18 30m lead by Lee Cujes 2 18 30m lead by Lee Cujes	Mixed trad 60m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 3rd Sep 2021
The first pitch is a great arete feature. Tons of trad and 2 carrots. Crux bulge is tricky and pumpy. For the second pitch, the direct certainly seemed the more sensible option and I'm glad we took it. I wonder if many people hit the ledge falling off the start of p2 (especially on second with rope stretch)? Take a panic draw if you have one. I reckon you'd want to be confident climbing 22 on trad to jump on this one. We walked off (staying roped up for the first 30m) which was fine to get back to the Cave Climb abseil, or back to the car if this is your last climb of the day.
	21	★★ Ronald Muck	Mixed trad 45m, 9	Mt Tibrogargan	★★ Very Good	Sun 29th Oct 2006
Climb in one 45m pitch. Good, heady climbing. You need to crank moves above your gear and not fall.
	22	★★★ Turning Of The Tide	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 30th Dec 2006
One of the best routes in the country/world/solar system. I'm not going to talk it up though.
	27	★★★ Desert Rose	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Victoria Range		Tue 29th Sep 2009
Couldn't figure crux beta. Had to phone a friend.
	27	★★★ Desert Rose	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Victoria Range	★★★ Classic	Thu 1st Oct 2009
Thanks CRUX mag beta. [4]
	25	★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1	Mixed trad 28m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 5th Mar 2006
The best pitch I did here. Thanks phil_nev for the beta!
	27	★★★ Desert Rose	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Victoria Range		Thu 1st Oct 2009
To top
	27	★★★ Desert Rose	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Victoria Range		Thu 1st Oct 2009
Redpoint burn. Failed on crux.
	28	★★★ Anaconda	Mixed trad 60m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Mon 6th Mar 2006
Five days on, surprised I managed this. 3rd shot.
	20	★★ Megalith	Mixed trad 50m, 8	Mt Stuart	★★ Very Good	Fri 1st Aug 1997
Redpointed the second pitch later after being benighted first time
	30	★★ Tourniquet	Mixed trad 40m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre		Mon 14th May 2007
I was confused.
	22	★★★ Turning of the Tide	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 18th Apr 2003
Wow - totally amazing arete. We climbed it in a gale and my helmet was acting as a parachute.
	26	★★ Forked Tongue - with Sammi	Mixed trad 25m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Thu 4th Apr 2019
Tried very hard to onsight - failed. Fell on the span. It's less technical than the Groovy span, but about the same distance. I had so much crap hanging off my harness. A #4 rock and #1.5 cam will do it. Fingers crossed for Saturday.
	27 26	★★ Forked Tongue - with Sammi	Mixed trad 25m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Apr 2019
Was very confident but fell on the span again. Easy to bugger up!
	27 26	★★ Forked Tongue - with Sammi	Mixed trad 25m, 8	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Apr 2019
Obviously tricky (pointless?) to grade a reach dependent crux, but for me at 175cm of reach, this is worth 27. Climbed in one pitch via Anaconda p1. If you like stop-start routes, this'll be your jam. [3]
	15	FA ★★ Get Into The Groove	Mixed trad 50m, 7	Mt Ngungun	★ Good	Mon 1st Feb 1999
Surprisingly good.
	21	Floater	Mixed trad 20m, 7	Mt Tibrogargan	Don't Bother	Sat 20th Jan 2007
Some scary rock past the second FH (needs some more cleaning)
	24 23	★★ Some Weird Sin	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 30th Dec 2006
Dodgy guidebook meant I needed to have brackets dropped to me from the top on the onsight. Team onsight? Sam did awesome photos.
	26	★★★ Rattlesnake Shake	Mixed trad 35m, 7	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Mon 14th May 2007
This was probably the second ascent. No idea why it's not logged on theCrag. Lucky I have good old reliable 8a.nu as a backup.
	26	★★ Jumping Viper - with Sammi	Mixed trad 28m, 7	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Apr 2019
Tried the dyno about 20 times. Latched the hold on a few occasions but didn't manage to control the swing. Ankles still sore. Onsighted the rest.
	16	★★ Giggles - with Sammi	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 4th Jul 2021
Classic! Just two cams (#1.5 and #2 friend).
	19	★★ Black Bart - with Sammi	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 11th Jul 2021
Continually interesting and enjoyable from bottom to top.
	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!
	27 Hard	★★★ FinaI Departure — 3 attempts - with @1293	Mixed trad 27m, 7	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Tue 16th May 2023
What a ripper. Mega quest up an imposing wall with a bouldery crux. 3rd shot.
	22	★★★ Northern Exposure	Mixed trad 30m, 6	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Fri 18th Apr 2003
Continuous
	23	★★ Shark's Fin	Mixed trad 25m, 6	Redcliffs	★★ Very Good	Sun 8th Jun 2003
Second shot Skidmore, at it again! [pic]
	19	★★★ Fishing With Dynamite - with Sammi	Mixed trad 24m, 6	Wilyabrup	★★★ Classic	Sat 18th May 2019

	22	★★ Lesbian Printshop Workers	Mixed trad 20m, 5	Kangaroo Point		Wed 16th Oct 2002
Attempt 1: I jumped off after not being able to get the RP in. Craziness. (Have top roped it before)Attempt 2: Put the RP in, but it seemed crap and I couldn't commit.
	18	★ Cassandra	Mixed trad 40m, 5	Arapiles	★ Good	1998
seconded again in 2002
	21	★★ The Better the Boy the More the Joy	Mixed trad 21m, 5	Mt Stuart	★ Good	Tue 1st Jul 1997

	24	★★ Tight As A Drum	Mixed trad 30m, 5	Brooyar		Mon 5th May 2008
Big fall while trying to eliminate the aid.
	22	★★★ On Edge	Mixed trad 28m, 5	Blue Mountains		Sat 28th Dec 2002
f*king hard*!
	19	FA ★★ Ishoni	Mixed trad 35m, 5	Mt Tibrogargan	★★ Very Good	Thu 1st Jul 1999
First lead attempt of two attempts overall
	24	★★ Feargrounds For Insanity	Mixed trad 20m, 5	Mt Ngungun	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Aug 1999
about 6 rests on top rope
	25	★★★ Physical Meditation	Mixed trad 30m, 5	Mt Stuart	★★★ Classic	Mon 1st Jun 1998

	21	★★ Sticks And Stones DS	Mixed trad 34m, 5	Mt Maroon	Crap	Sun 11th May 2003
Grrrrrrr!!!! Three falls on the first bolt before bailing and doing the regular version instead.
	23	★ Ego	Mixed trad 20m, 5	Kangaroo Point	★ Good	Tue 28th Nov 2000
[2/3]
	20	★★ Atomic Punk	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Blue Mountains		Fri 1st Dec 2000
	21	★ Green Lantern	Mixed trad 18m, 5	Mt Stuart	★ Good	Fri 1st Aug 1997
to 4th FH
	19	★ Mr Plow	Mixed trad 18m, 5	Kangaroo Point	★ Good	Thu 24th Feb 2005
best to take some gear for the crack
	23	Liquid Skin - with JJ	Mixed trad 18m, 5	Mt Tibrogargan	Average	Sun 4th Nov 2012
Start was a vomitorium. You're lucky if you get to climb this dry I think. Overall, a bit weird.
	24	★★ Hate Mail - with Neil	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 30th Mar 2013
A Monty route, climbed with Monty. Some of the best rock around up high, pretty impressive. You have to jam a cam in a critical pod which is your handhold which I actually thought was cool. Don't be put off by the rusty U-bolts, they're fine. Needs some stainless mallions added to anchor.
	23	★★ Last Man Standing	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Wed 23rd Apr 2014
Don't be so hard on yourself Monty - this route is as good as any of the others. Nor does it feel squeezed in to me. I notice people are avoiding the grade 23 finish by going right to the anchors on SS Minnow.
	21	★ Spangled Drongo - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner	Mixed trad 20m, 5	Blue Mountains	Average	Sun 5th Jul 2015
Thin crux 5 grades harder than the rest.
	19	★★ Looking For The Sun	Mixed trad 40m, 4	Brooyar	★★★ Classic	Sun 2nd May 2004
The start is evil
	23	★★ Monkey on a String	Mixed trad 120m, 4	Frederick Peak	★ Good	Sun 2nd Aug 2009
2nd p1, OS p2. Pitch 2 needs some chains on the slab, not the dicky 15m trad sketchfest above. p3+p4 not done.
	19	★★ Looking For The Sun	Mixed trad 40m, 4	Brooyar	★★★ Classic	Mon 1st Dec 1997
1 aid off first bolt
	25	★★ Dagda	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Mt Tibrogargan	★★ Very Good	Sat 27th Mar 2004
2nd shot. Downclimbed Maponus p1, leaned across to first bolt and climbed from there. This is the route's second ascent.
	18	★★ Sticks And Stones	Mixed trad 33m, 4	Mt Maroon	★★★ Classic	Sun 11th May 2003
You really get your money's worth for 18
	21	FA Parachuting Geckos	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Mt Stuart	Average	Tue 24th Nov 1998
	19	★ Bubonic Man	Mixed trad 18m, 4	Kangaroo Point	Crap	Fri 25th Oct 2002
not independent enough to be enjoyable
	19	★★ When the Levee Breaks	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sun 20th Apr 2003
A very good moderate route
	28	★★★ Venom	Mixed trad 60m, 4	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 4th Mar 2006
Took a leak mid-way on the redpoint. 3rd shot.
	25	★★ Crystal Ships	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Tomaree Head	★★★ Classic	Sun 18th Feb 2007
Happy not to blow this punchy number. Intricate upper section on RPs almost had me stymied. Not a pure onsight as I'd rapped past it.
	21	FA ★ Schrapnel In My Backyard	Mixed trad 15m, 4	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Wed 3rd Jan 2007
Everything that could go wrong went wrong, but I got it done in the end.
	23	★★★ Liquid Daze	Mixed trad 30m, 4	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 20th Apr 2003
One way hard move.
	23	★★★ Liquid Insanity	Mixed trad 35m, 4	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 20th Apr 2003
Felt like around 1.5 hours on the lead.
	23	★★ Hate Crimes	Mixed trad 15m, 4	Brooyar	★★★ Classic	Fri 1st Sep 2000
2nd shot. 3 pieces in.
	22	★★ Sea Of Fools	Mixed trad 15m, 4	Brooyar		Fri 1st Sep 2000
	18	FA ★★ One for the Kids (Trad version)	Mixed trad 27m, 4	Castle Hill	★ Good	Sun 19th Apr 1998
	19	★★ Looking For The Sun	Mixed trad 40m, 4	Brooyar	★★★ Classic	Sat 2nd May 2009
Exactly 5 years between drinks. Bizarre! Sam cruised the start first shot. That's my wife
	20	★★ Wimps in the Gym	Mixed trad 16m, 4	Mt Stuart	★★★ Classic	Fri 1st Mar 1996

Sustained climbing with a hard traverse. 3rd shot.
	25	★★ Dagda	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Mt Tibrogargan	★★ Very Good	Sun 18th Oct 2009
Linked in from Voluptuous. Dogged to remember moves.

1 FH and 3 rings up overhanging wall L of Cut And Thrust
	18	★ Wounded Knee	Mixed trad 18m, 4	Kangaroo Point	★ Good	Wed 1st Nov 2000

	19	FA ★★★ The Dark Crystal	Mixed trad 28m, 4	The Citadel	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 1st Aug 1998
The stuff climbing dreams are made of
	22	★★ Cecilia	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Arapiles		Mon 11th Nov 2002
Did the giant leap on the start (gulp!)
	24	★★ Batten The Hatches	Mixed trad 10m, 4	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Wed 27th Dec 2006
