Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
	18	★ The Answer is Obvious - with zachary vertrees	Sport 20m
Yep, the answer is obvious.... I’m not quite recovered... But still a climber...The most painfully difficult fun I’ve had in a while ... Have always been good at adapting my style to my injuries but this is next level... Just missed the final move, but I was wearing approach shoes... anyway did it a quarter century ago and my kids did it 20 years ago... will come back when I can wear climbing shoes for the send ...

	10	★ Lishenbak - with zachary vertrees	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Well obviously I’ve done it before, in many different styles, but it’s seems this is the first time I’ve recorded it... Seemed hard for 10 in my current condition... though trying to climb it technically probably didn’t help... First time trying actual climbing shoes in a very long time, approach shoes would have been better ... Felt like 15 but would only have been 12 in approach shoes... definitely felt less than 10 last time I soloed it ...
Tue 25th May 2021 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
	18	★ The Bandoline Grip	Sport 18m, 6	★ Good
2nd route back on rock after a years break... slightly challenging in boots ... bailed on final move, but close enough...
Wed 15th Jan 2020 - Warrumbungles
Bluff Mountain
	20 19	★★ Ginsberg - with zachary vertrees	Trad 330m	★★★ Classic
Did the Cameron/Moon 20 variant and possibly some other variations as some of the route description doesn’t match what we did ... Done as 5 x 60m pitch’s more or less ... Thunderstorm rolled through to cool, and wet, us down in the upper pitches ... Great fun of the type you can only have in places such as these ... car to car in about 10 hours but we smelt the roses along the way ...
Fri 4th Oct 2019 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Sweet Dreams Walls
	20 21	★★ Smack My Pitch Up - with zachary vertrees, Michael Croker	Sport 120m	★ Good
Hmmm not bad... bit of a ‘weird scenes inside the goldmine’ type day ... Route is a bit over bolted imho but most probably like it like that. Swung pitches...
Sun 25th Aug 2019 - Wolgan Valley
Coke Ovens Cliff
	13	★ Sod - with Yulid Shorrock, Pedro V	Trad 84m	★ Good
Sport version of the old school aka runout version of this ... a cam, then two bolts clipped with wires .. up to the chains and lower off...runout solo like slabby goodness...
	18	★★★ Mirrorman - with Nathaniel	Mixed trad 90m, 4	★★★ Classic
Repeat from BITD... Classic when done as 2 mega pitches.... gave Nate the top two for full value as I’d sold him short on the top of Cactus ... great finish...
Sat 24th Aug 2019 - Wolgan Valley
Coke Ovens Cliff
	18	★★★ Cactus - with Pedro V, Nathaniel	Trad 78m	★★★ Classic
Note to self: checkout climb better before deciding to attempt it in oversized trashed mountain boots... and decide better .,. Any way, redeemed myself with mega pitch above that, though I was extremely short on draws somehow... didn’t leave Nate much at the top but no other option really .. sorry matey... Probably best as 2 decent length pitches. Single rack, wires and draws should do .. ymmv ..
Sun 24th Mar 2019 - Blue Mountains
Newnes Plateau Gardens of Stone National Park Disbelief Cave
	22	★★★ Center line - with zachary vertrees	Trad 40m

Mon 29th May 2017 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Katoomba Cliffs Echo Point Echo Point Walls
	22 22 R	★★ Ice - with Axel T	Trad 170m	★★ Very Good
Ran in down Furbers at about 1:30, didn't take the best track up to the wall, swung pitches and topped out at about 5. Awesome. Having a Police Rescue guy cruise by below us on a search mission whilst on the first pitch was rather random, you really don't expect that ... Went kind of direct up and left at end rather then right as I missed the exit ... more engaging that way I think ... good value ... Classic old school big Blueies mixed climbing!
Fri 14th Apr 2017 - Wolgan Valley
Old Baldy Lower Cliff

	18	★★ Curtain Call - with Zac, Kamil	Trad 49m	★ Good

Blackheath Area Megalong Valley Crags The Phoenix
		★★ The Fee: Nix Direct	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good
Yep, it goes but may feel spicy on lead, and having the right gear will be needed. Climbed it with a bit of difficulty and desperation at times ... Maybe ~23 ... All things considered ... Going to the top ..

Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
	25 26 R	★★ Thumbs Out	Trad 23m	★★★ Classic
Extended Gear Beta for ground-up attempts... Ignore if you wish to go for the complete onsight. Read on if you wish for bit more safety... Small cam and C3 00/Metolius Offset 0 protect up to the roof. Good old style BD 4 or reasonable DMM in slot in corner of roof, equalised with WC 0 offset in roof... Optional Black Totem around the roof to left. Climb through the roof. Medium wire and small cam in corner crack above roof. WC Offset 2.5 or maybe a similar Metolius/Totem in strange pocket to right. Traverse right a few metres to below crux. Good Red DMM, not Totem, in horizontal that uses the best part of the hold, and/or small wires/ micro cams in thin horizontal above. This is the crux gear here, and has been fallen on... Climb through crux. Optional Red Totem after the crux but could cause problems if being seconded. Yellow to Silver DMMs should cover the rest. Belay, Purple to Yellow Totems. Tie in to both ends of a rope (or two ropes) and use one for first section only. Clip second rope into black Totem (if used) and the good gear in crack above roof. Find rest with knee bar assist and untie first rope then climb on. This manoeuvre avoids rope drag across lip of roof. You could also solo up the face to the left, traverse over and place/pre-clip this gear to pre-protect the start if that fits your ethics.. YMMV. My trad ascent back in the day was with a rest before the crux, 24M0. Good luck, stay solid, make sure your gear is good, have fun and try not to break your ankles... Cheers...
