28 Stan - with Mark McGivern Trad 15m Freycinet National Park Mega Classic Sun 20th Feb 2022
I couldn't have pushed it any closer to the red line. Last day, last shot. The closest I've ever been to falling but pulling through.

Well-protected inside corner crack that is quite cruisey until the finish.

The best part about this is when you climb into the section that gives the route its name, i know i was puckering.

You could probably tow away the cliff on nuts, but small cams seemed the obvious choice.

I would have worm my rash vest if i knew how wet the holds would be. Not a great option in the direct sun.

Incredible climbing. The reputation is the hardest part. Not a sandbag at all.

Very nice climbing. Bolts are well placed at the crux. The rest of the route felt like a committing lead on small/medium wires with very nice secure climbing.

The anchor for this one is at the far right of the first ledge you mantle (the topo in the guide is a bit confusing). If you keep climbing you'll inevitably have to climb through a blocky gully to belay off a tree (not ideal).

21 Uno Trad 38m Te Kiekie / Mt Somers Mega Classic Fri 13th Apr 2018
My hardest all trad onsight and probably the most memorable climb of the trip. Tried the Alex "no big deal" Honnnold approach but ended up with parkinsons after about 5 meters. As the crack became vertical and the feet disappeared i was feeling out of my depth. Kept it together until my foot slipped and i cried out like a beaten dog hahaha. Used a double gaston with every muscle in my body to keep me from whipping onto the gear. Managed to drag myself through the wet/slimey upper section of the route more out of fear of testing my gear than being a bad ass. Laughed uncontrollable once i topped out and realised what a pussy i am. The climbing is solid and the gear is bomber.

Has some great climbing. The first few meters and the holds at the anchor are dirty. Used a single rack of cams, including a micro.

Awesome delicate climbing. Very strong on the fingers. Be extra careful with small cams. RP's are so helpful for the start.

19 Incisor Trad 90m Orroral area Fri 30th Aug 2019
The highlight of my trip. The first 4 meters is scary because of poor rock quality but after the undercling move i have only good memories. The second pitch is money! The gear isn't abundant in the upper half although the climbing secure enough to keep things on the fun side of feeling exposed. Twin ropes were very handy.

22 Karearea Crack Trad 20m Hospital Flat Very Good Fri 13th Apr 2018
Failed onsight attempt getting super pumped beneath the crux and not having the mental game to commit to it, had to weight the gear. Placed all the gear on lead for the tick. Interesting, fun climbing with bomber gear bottom to top. I only placed one small alien cam after the crux but came aren't needed.

22 The Hotline (Hotline) Trad 15m Diamond Lake Mega Classic Fri 13th Apr 2018
Had such a field day battling the head space on the onsight lead. Couldn't climb through the crux but was persistent to either send or take my first fall onto placed gear. Fell at the crux onto a solid wire (Still shrieked like a little girl). Once fallen, got the pink point then lead ascent placing all the gear. Hardest all trad line so far.

Schaaa-wing! You can cower in the cave as long as you want but eventually you have to grunt through and mantle the boulder to the left. The description is on point.

Pretty much a boulder problem. Once you mantle its all over but gee-wiz! what a mantle! I would have thought twice if it weren't protected by a bolt.

Huge step up from uno. After the ball-enlargement therapy of the 21 i thought i could step it up again. so wrong. If you can't jam, good luck! The description says bomber jams but you'd have to be a wide boy in my opinion

18 Mergers and Aquisitions - with Dylan Tubaro Mixed trad 58m, 10 New Nowra - Braidwood Road Mega Classic Thu 12th Sep 2019
What an outing! It took more landscaping than climbing to send this one. The second pitch we're renaming the "veggie patch" as its currently the grow op of an abundance of ferns and 1 decent sized shrub that will provide a decent sling in a few more years. The updraft today was ridiculous, sending all the ferns i pulled out of the crack up the face of the wall. Doubles in all the wrong cams made this quite exciting and threw my plan of sewing it up out the window. I absolutely recommend this route to anyone that enjoys a bit of adventure. The turn off is about 4.5km from Deans Gap rd and there is now a boom gate at the entrance. There is no burnt out car anymore, but its obvious where it was. Wish we had more time, can't wait to go back for the Naughty Corner.

22 Insomnia Trad 40m Frog Buttress Classic Wed 22nd Jul 2020
Lost the onsight at the sloping ledge. I really did think it was going to be a jug. By the time i had matched it and looked over the lip i knew i was about to take a ride. I whimpered like a small child who's just dropped his lolly pop in the sand when i slapped desperately for salvation. My impending doom was apparent when my sunshine state sweaty palm merely moistened the ledge. My chest has been hairier ever since.

17 Bowen Allan Corner (Bowen, Allen Corner) Trad 300m Homer Hut Area Classic Fri 13th Apr 2018
A classic in my eyes. Probably because it was my first alpine route. The approach would be enough for a non-climber. Took hours to find the route so i'd suggest to others to distinguish it from afar before looking up at acres of rock from below where the description means shit. look for slings at the end of the first pitch. Climbed off route from the start and scared the b-jesus out of myself. Broke a hand hold and saw my life flash before my eyes and regretting not placing gear for 5 meters. seriously considered life, got it together and went on a hectic journey upward. Definitely did a variant but got there in the end. Last pitch is the hardest (not according to description) and the topo gives you shit all. A must do for anyone getting into trad climbing. So memorable.

If the climbing isn't 2 stars, the position and novelty of climbing a trad line on a boulder is.

Soloed the first and last 4 pitches. Theres only 1 pitch that feels 17 and i couldn't be sure we even did it on route. I'm sure its pretty safe to wander up any sections of rock assuming its low grade.

Not the best of warm ups during winter. I lead the off width start which was humbling although the commitment comes from the upper slab. So hard to grade this style...

15 Access Gully Trad 16m Lovers Leap Very Good Fri 13th Apr 2018
The approach to the cliff is exposing enough let alone soloing up a fixed line to a belay. Walking from the right side of the lookout would be so much easier than the thistle infested gully on the left. kept joking about the devils land full of heroine needles when you loose your footing on the damp grass and slide your hands through all the needles haha Surprisingly good climbing on solid rock and the view and atmosphere is well worth the trek into the gorge.

Absolute sand bag if iv'e ever climbed one!! It must be a local joke to watch tourists kick the wall. When you think the steep start and two digit pocket crux was hard, think again, the top is a joke. Laughed hysterically at my tantrums once lowered to the ground.
