	25 26	★★ Nero on the Rampage - with Lewis Robson	Sport 25m, 9	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Mon 3rd Dec 2018
So good. Now I've done it in a oner I fully appreciate how good this is from start to finish. So many awesome technical sequences stacked on top of one another and even the top trad section felt fluffable with the pump I had going on. First shot today. Stoked.
	26	★★ Gotham City - with Olivia, Callum	Sport 20m, 5	Bundaleer Area	★★ Very Good	Mon 17th Feb 2020
First 26 in Aus! New beta through top crux and fresher skin did the trick... Still as thin as I remember though! Psychedd!!
7b
	7a 7b	★★★ April Fools - with Mitch	Sport 30m, 10	Ton Sai	★★★ Classic	Tue 12th Feb 2019
Not 7b but absolutely brilliant route - loved it. Should be down-graded.
	7a+ 7b	★★ Tongue Thaid (Tongue Thaid p1) - with Mitch	Sport 32m, 14	Railay	★★★ Classic	Wed 13th Feb 2019

25
	25	★★★ Trojan - with Jed Parkes	Mixed trad 86m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 25th Sep 2019
First shot today placing gear. A memorable send. My palm ripped open on the first move and my helmet fell off after the initial layback lol. Well professional. Sorry for any blood trail. Continued on to complete all further pitches clean. Split P2 into 2 and led the awkward approach crack to P3. P3 is nails 21 IMO...Felt more like 22.
	25	★★★ Retrograde Amnesia	Sport 35m	The Paradiso	★★★ Classic	Tue 14th Jan 2020
First real 25 in a day! 2nd shot. Psyched.

23
	23	★★ Scones of Doom	Sport 15m, 4	Berowra	★★ Very Good	Fri 24th Jul 2015

	23	FA ★★ The Elephant's Foot - with Kieran Chandler	Sport 12m, 4	Eua	★★★ Classic	Sat 21st Jul 2018
A brilliant climb, a beautiful feature and a striking line in a tropical paradise location. Can't beat that.
	23	★★ Maelstrom - with Kieran Chandler	Sport 18m, 7	Eua	★★ Very Good	Thu 19th Jul 2018
Really cool climb...loads of good moves and such a rad sequence to finish. More like 22 than 23 I'd say but time and other ascents will tell...
	23	★★ Holiday Sidewinder - with Lewis	Sport 22m, 8	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Tue 7th Aug 2018
Fell off boulder problem start. Had a good look around from hanging, worked the first few moves then came down and got it clean next shot. Great climbing. Didn't use block to right, did have 2nd draw clipped.

Gets classic status because you'll never climb anything like it again. P1 is the money. P3 I went for a sandy nothing instead of the right hold early on. 2nd shot the treat. I think you could easily take a grade of each pitch in terms of the actual climbing difficulty...it's just the position that makes it feel harder.
	23	★★★ Gotham City	Sport 25m, 11	NE Mt Zero Range	★★★ Classic	Mon 24th Feb 2020
Great climb. Loved the big deadpoint to finish....the only respectable finish
22
	22	★★ Burly But Sensitive	Sport 13m, 3	Paynes Ford	★★ Very Good	Fri 19th Dec 2014
So many different ways and beta to do the crux. Used my own undercling match eventually to send.
	22	★★ These People are Sandwiches - with w/Lucas and Paul	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 29th Jun 2015
Finally. What a brilliant route. So much to keep you interested. A solid 22 - def no push over.
	22	★★★ Thing 2 (Thing 2 - Pitch 1)	Sport 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tue 30th Jun 2015
2nd go. Sequency crux. Fantastic route.
	22	★★ Sister Rosa	Sport 18m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tue 14th Jul 2015
I had to WORK for this. That start...and then the roof...really good route.
	20 22	★ Broken Candy	Sport 13m, 3	Berowra	★ Good	Fri 24th Jul 2015
Nice crux - trick of the hold unless you're a crimp machine. Becomes a lot smoother!

	22	★★ Shredder's revenge	Sport 10m, 3	Mangaokewa	★★ Very Good	Sat 19th Mar 2016
Great climb. Will def climb again for fun, nice sequence mid to top.
	22	★★★ Ricardo Lagos - with Jonny	Sport 20m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tue 26th Apr 2016
Can't call the insight as Seconded this as part of a two pitch wander 6 months ago or thereabouts. Sent first go though...lovely route.
	22	★★ Hang onto Yourself - with Lucas C	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 5th May 2016
	22	★★ Dada Got Stuck (On Spider Monkey Wall)	Sport 28m, 9	Mangorewa	★★★ Classic	Sun 20th Nov 2016
Incredible climb, super fun roof and excellent longish high crux sequence to safety. Talked to the First Ascensionist, Kerry Crawford, he bolted it 2 days prior and I got 2nd Ascent apparently! Yehhaaa!
	22	★ Lola V	Sport 15m, 4	Camels Hump	★ Good	Tue 2nd Jan 2018
Still felt pretty sketchy on it but guess that's my style today.
	22	★★ Feral Chicken	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 7th Apr 2018
Fine at 22 with the right beta.
	22	★★ Rubiks Pocket Pulling Puzzle (Rubiks Pocket Puzzle Puller) - with Kieran Chandler	Sport 20m, 7	Eua	★★★ Classic	Sun 8th Jul 2018
The best single pitch I climbed on Eua. Super cool moves, a bit of spice for 3rd BR and just quality from start to finish. Listed in Tongan Rock guide (as in Eua details above) as 24 but the consensus of climbers I met there all thought 21/22.
	22	★★ The Tango Underground - with Lucas C, Match	Sport 18m, 8	Elanora Heights	★★ Very Good	Wed 10th Apr 2019
Beautiful climbing, sustained technical difficulties through upper section.

	22	★★ Lunging for Melons	Sport 15m, 5	Bundaleer Area	★★ Very Good	Tue 22nd Oct 2019
Cleaning up an old dog. First shot today and did the route name justice!
	22	★★ Terminal Insomnia	Sport 30m, 7	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★★ Very Good	Wed 12th Feb 2020

My first attempt I was caught in a heavy downpour at 2/3rds height and continued for the send but the green slimy lichen at the top turned too slippery for the send and I took a giant whipper! Exciting. Easy 2nd shot. Soft.
