Sapper Cave
5.12c The Butterfly Effect - with Sammi Sport 25m Very Good
Definitely had to work for it. The top crux is ... well, I won't ruin it. But you better stretch your groin.

 
Mon 5th Aug 2019 - Rifle Mountain Park
The Anti-Phil Wall
5.12c Movement of Fear - with Sammi Sport Classic
Attempted end of last day onsight - fell right on the top. Excellent route though, one to come back for.

 
5.12c I Am Not A Philistine - with Sammi Sport Classic

I mistakenly started up Family Jewels and linked into the rest of this which made it harder apparently.

 
5.11c Geriatric Journey - with Sammi Sport 40m Classic
Loooooooooong! Well worth doing if you like some length in your life.

 
Thu 1st Aug 2019 - Rifle Mountain Park
Ruckman Cave
5.13a Shibumi - with Kris Hampton Sport Very Good
My first and probably only ever 5.13 onsight at Rifle. Stoked.

 
5.12a Return to Sender - with Eric Godfrey Sport Very Good
Steep, huge holds, get the right sequence turning the roof or it's "return to sender".

5.10d Joey Ninja Superstar - with Sammi Sport Good
Wed 31st Jul 2019 - Rifle Mountain Park
The Meat Wall
5.11a Cold Cuts - with Sammi Sport 30m Very Good
Repeat. Could this be the most polished route on the planet? Need to do a side-by-side with some of those mirrors in Arco.

 
5.11d James Brown's Wild Ride - with Sammi Sport Very Good
One intricate bit up high. Lots of stemming.

 
5.12b The Gun Show - with Sammi Sport 30m Mega Classic

Had to drop the clutch a bit at the top. Yeeeesh!

 
5.11b Primer - with Sammi Sport Very Good
Couple of awkward sections but a good project at this grade. In the top-5 most polished routes in the canyon.

Proj shopping. Couldn't do the first hard bit, couldn't do the second hard bit. Weird. Bailed!

 
5.14a All The Pretty Horses - with Sammi Sport
Proj shopping. Thought I was on Der Pure. An undercling in the low crux boulder started to crumble on me so I called it.

 
Sun 28th Jul 2019 - Rifle Mountain Park

Perhaps the best easy route in Rifle.

28 Broken Flowers - with Sammi Sport 25m Very Good
FFA. Bouldering on a rope - fun athletic, super steep climbing split by a couple of rest ledges. Iron cross down low, elevator doors at the mid-crux. Three days [4]

 
Sat 22nd Jun 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek South Central
27 Maintain The Rage - with Sammi Sport 15m Very Good
That start move though! Brutal! Skipped it first time, fluffed it second time ripping skin, third time stuck it and absolutely did not want to do it again, so topped out. [3]

 
23 Strike - with Sammi Sport 7m
Haha. When I'm yarding '8a hard' on a mono stack on a 23, it's time to pack it in.

 
19 Silver Hands - with Sammi Sport 9m Good
Repeat

 
19 Burping Burgers - with Sammi Sport 8m Good
Kinda interesting, a little harder than Silver Hands perhaps.

Main Crags Steel Wall
24 Heavy Metal - with Sammi Sport 30m, 6 Mega Classic
Had to wait until the commercial abseil group moved off this, and the wall was then in the sun. Sigh. Crux is super interesting and easy to bugger up, as it turns out. Dropping the onsight of this will haunt me forever.

 
Sat 18th May 2019 - Wilyabrup
Main Crags One For The Road
19 Fishing With Dynamite - with Sammi Mixed trad 24m, 6 Classic
Super interesting, engaging climbing all the way. Great!

Sat 18th May 2019 - Wilyabrup
Main Crags Inner Space Wall
24 The Spin of It - with Sammi Sport 15m, 3 Very Good
Tricky onsight with no chalk and salty rock. Went up and down a bunch before getting through on the slimpers.

 
22 Stormbringer - with Sammi Mixed trad 20m, 3 Very Good
Lovely rounded sloper holds.

 
Fri 17th May 2019 - Bob's Hollow
20 19 Puk Puk Sen - with Sammi Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Super nice.

 
19 20 Thyeses Feast - with Sammi Sport 15m, 5 Good

25 Hollow Promise (Hollow Promises) - with Sammi Sport 25m, 6 Very Good
Quite good, bit of a tricky read up high.

 
25 26 Toy Shopping - with Sammi Sport 20m, 6 Classic
A Moonboard! Really cool!

 
26 Spatula Man - with Sammi Sport 15m, 4 Good
Just missed the OS.

 
26 Spatula Man - with Sammi Sport 15m, 4 Good
Solid unit for me. Sharp, sequency pockets are a bit of an antistyle. [2]

 
20 Shaved Cat - with Sammi Sport 20m, 8 Good
Wow, this is hard for the grade! I'd give this 22 probably.

 
Thu 25th Apr 2019 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Underworld
25 Gravel Rash Trad 15m Good
Sometimes it feels like the onsight was really close. Not in this case. Would never have happened! Off-finger crack through a roof. Don't watch this video if you want to onsight it https://youtu.be/iVlE2a14xr0

21 Hunter Or Prey? - with kris hampton Sport 22m, 12 Good
Did this with Kris same week it was bolted.

 
Fri 19th Apr 2019 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Pit Sector 'Pit Fighter'
28 Pit Fighter - with Erik Smits, @1293 Trad 30m Mega Classic
Send attempt - fell on the crux, came down.

 
28 Pit Fighter - with Erik Smits, @1293 Trad 30m Mega Classic
Managed to hang on and get it done. Happy to do this one in a day. I wanted to climb it placing the gear, hence the ground up effort, but stripping such a steep route each time requires some serious motivation. Maybe one day, but for now I'm content. [3] Footage: https://youtu.be/UTzYm7htdu8

 
28 Pit Fighter - with Erik Smits, @1293 Trad 30m Mega Classic
Attempted ground up. Definitely out of my comfort zone. Slipped out of the wet initial boulder and that was that. Then climbed from the ground to the crux (placing gear) and fell on the crux, unsurprisingly. Took some effort to unlock the crux move. Then to top, placing gear with a couple of rests. Was en route for well over an hour.

 
Sun 14th Apr 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Celebrity Crags Sharon Stone
25 Sliver - with @1293 Sport 25m, 13 Very Good
Placed the anchors and cleaned up this 20yo abandoned project. It's actually quite good if you like long adventurous sport climbing. Might even be soft at 25? Note to self: I still need to chop off a corroded bail biner. [2]

 
28 Basic Instinct - with @1293 Sport 25m, 14 Classic
Vaguely reminiscent of Sunnyside at the Pit. High stickclip to start; steep, moderate climbing for 6 bolts to a ledge below the quote-unquote slab. A baffling move to overcome the slab and then it's game on up the headwall on cool pockets to an improbable-looking, dynamic crux. [7]

 
Sat 13th Apr 2019 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Sweet Dreams Walls
17 Sweet Nightmare (Link-Up) - with Sammi, Kris, Analissa Mixed trad 130m, 12 Very Good
Nice sneaker romp with friends.

 
Sat 6th Apr 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - South
21 Constrictor - with Sammi Mixed trad 18m, 3 Very Good
After botching it the other day and finishing up World Party, today climbed as intended.

 
27 26 Forked Tongue - with Sammi Mixed trad 25m, 8 Very Good
Was very confident but fell on the span again. Easy to bugger up!

 
27 26 Forked Tongue - with Sammi Mixed trad 25m, 8 Very Good
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]

 
26 Jumping Viper - with Sammi Mixed trad 28m, 7 Very Good
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.

 
Thu 4th Apr 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - South
22 Anaconda Pitch 1 - with Sammi Trad 17m Average
As part of Forked Tongue. That bolt is now something of a relic.

 
21 Constrictor into World Party - with Sammi Mixed trad 20m, 1 Classic
Done by many others previously as this is the obvious straight-up line of climbing. Well worth doing at this grade and gives a great introductory taste of proper Taipan climbing.

 
26 Forked Tongue - with Sammi Mixed trad 25m, 8 Very Good
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.

 
Wed 3rd Apr 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Spurt Wall
26 This Spurting Life - with Sammi Sport 12m, 3 Very Good
Description says 'soft tick if you can crimp'. Well, I certainly avoided crimping! Liked this more than I anticipated.

 
22 Spurting Mildly - with Sammi Sport 12m, 3 Good
Surprisingly interesting movement for such a short route.

 
Wed 3rd Apr 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - North
20 Atomic Tadpole - with Sammi Trad 40m Very Good
Cool to do something on this end of the wall. A really cool easier tradventure. Getting off was unexpectedly involved (soloing down into the chimney behind to eventually reach a rap station).

 
Wed 3rd Apr 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - South
28 Groovy - with Sammi Sport 25m, 6 Mega Classic
The entrance exam to the main event is still pretty amazing in its own right. And you can open hand every RH hold, so perfect for a recovering finger injury. Six tries, and one shot 13 years ago.

 
Mon 1st Apr 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - South
28 Groovy - with Sammi Sport 25m, 6 Very Good
Stuck the crux span, and dropped the next move. Shiiiiii.

 
28 Groovy - with Sammi Sport 25m, 6 Very Good
Ditched the span.

 
28 Groovy - with Sammi Sport 25m, 6 Very Good

21 Sirocco Pitch 1 - with Kris Hampton Mixed trad 20m, 1 Average
17 years between drinks on this one. Pretty desperate really. Especially when wet.

 
Sun 31st Mar 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - South
28 Groovy - with Sammi, Kris Hampton Sport 25m, 6 Classic
13 years later and I can do the crux span - just!

 
28 Groovy - with Sammi, Kris Hampton Sport 25m, 6 Classic
From ground to crux.

 
Sun 31st Mar 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre

23 The Seventh Banana Pitch 1 - with Sammi Trad 20m Classic
12 years since I last climbed this. I was bolder back then.

 
Sun 24th Mar 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall
19 18 Apron Strings Trad 32m Very Good
Really enjoyed this. Plenty of gear and enjoyable the whole way.

 
24 Thrust Gut Sport 20m, 8 Good
A lot of conjecture about the grade of this. In any case, a good test of the finger in very humid conditions.

23 Rudolf the Bloody Reindeer - with Kris Hampton Sport 15m, 6 Good
21 Red Sleigh Down - with Kris Hampton Sport 15m, 6 Good
FFA. A touch harder than the 20s. The name manages to weave in the themes of Christmas, South Park and Jimmy. This also happens to be my 300th first ascent in Australia.

 

Showing 601 - 700 out of 7,155 ascents.
