Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area
	18	★★★ The Eternity	Trad 22m
trying to crack but end up laybacking a lot one quick lap before rushing through traffic
	13	★★ Joseph P1 1 13 24 Second	Trad 24m
good stuff, one blank slab move near anchor
Fri 26th Apr 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Descent Gully Area
	11	★ The Bonatti Crack	Trad 8m
repeat of my first route outdoors two years prior (: still felt desperate
Tue 23rd Apr 2024 - Vaucluse
Rosa Gully Rosa Gully North Side
	20	★★ The Last Wave - with Lucas Low 1 28 Second lead by Lucas Low well protected, but still didn't fully trust the gear. we backcleaned the first bolt, then spent ages figuring out the hard mantle. thin sandy crimps and awkward lock offs all the way up. broke a small hold. slightly damp from the sea breeze. 2 12 Sport lead by linna almost bailed on the move from the anchor. real reachy and bare. thought that was the crux but the line of three bolts 30cm apart led to yet another handholdless mantle. ended up horizontal on the half a metre wide belay ledge watching the waves crash into the rocks hoping i wouldn't roll over the edge. bring runners to save you some rope drag around the corner 3 10 Aid lead by Lucas Low hard all the way up. at this point i was so exhausted from all the desperate mantles. pulled on the draw coming out of the exposed overhang. thin jug, might break off soon. pulled on lucas through the last mantle to top out. warm sunshine on my face and a lovely belgian guy across the fence interested in our cliff scaling adventure.	Sport 50m, 11
epic half day out. got lost on the approach down some muddy gully, clearly we can't comprehend instructions. feeling queasy from the rusty gear. have never done so many mantles on one route. for sure a bag full of sand. two stars for the scenic view and maybe less for the (scary for me) route. enjoyed bondi after, forgot how beautiful this side of town was
Fri 19th Apr 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Hot Flyer Wall
	19	★★ Jack High - with Angela Ha	Sport 20m
choice of bolt spacing is interesting. run out as hell at the crux mantle, never want to do that again
	22	★★ Lardy Lady's Lats - with Angela Ha	Sport 25m, 13
stiff as. can't link the move into the crux, but can do the crux now! too pumped to come out of the cave to do the lock offs on slab
	23	★★ A Streaker Named Desire - with Angela Ha	Sport 25m, 13
wet crimps. forgot how nice the moves were
Fri 12th Apr 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Masterplan Area
	23	★★ Master Plan - with Angela Ha	Sport 15m
four laps on the ‘crux’ (which was half the route). a bit too scrunched up for me, synovitis flaring up again from pulling on crimps
	20	★ Marooned - with Angela Ha	Sport 12m
properly started on the arete this time
	20	★ Marooned - with Angela Ha	Sport 12m
pretty cooked with the 22 start
Wed 3rd Apr 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Sail Away Wall
	24	★★★ Black Heathen - with james	Sport 25m
a consistently desperate route, some moves felt a bit reachy for me. so pumpy, but two good rests in between.
Wed 3rd Apr 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall
	21	★★ Chasing Amy - with james	Sport 22m
so good to see progress (:
	22	★★ Spread 'em Baby - with james	Sport 25m
james decided to ‘warm up’ on this. felt so comfortable on this since my onsight attempt a while back. broke off a piece of a thin flake just under the anchor bolts with my thumb before committing to the finger crack to a great undercling jug to finish.
Fri 29th Mar 2024 - Koh Tao
Temple Rock
	5b	★★ Chilled Monkey Brains	Sport 15m, 6
ah finally felt fearless bridging, gets easier halfway when it narrows out
	6b+ ~6b	★ Kali Ma	Sport 10m, 4
longest 10m i've climbed. thin crimps and delicate footwork. love the fitting route name.
Thu 28th Mar 2024 - Koh Tao
Lang Khai Lost Faces
	6a	★ Forearmed	Sport 13m, 5
first time seeing/using pigtail anchors, such a luxury!
	6a/a+	★★★ The Reach Around	Sport 18m, 8
6a+ just for the slab section before the anchor. cool undercling traverse move
	6c ~6b	★★ Plastic Tokay	Sport 25m, 10
not as intimidating as i thought it'd be. bridge across the water gap to start, spot some climbing fishes scale the rock. one reachy crux between third and fourth bolt. thanks to the lovely belgians for putting up the draws (:
Wed 27th Mar 2024 - Koh Tao
Jansom Bay
	6a/a+	★★★ Leg Day	Sport 35m
spicy climb post sunset with a hella scenic approach. peter somehow misread the length of the route so we hopped on this 35m line with a 50m rope. quick thinking we decided i second it after lowering him halfway and pulling him back up to the anchor. topped out and saw a mountain goat at the top of the cliff, what a sight. bushbashed a steep descent to get back on the track. as for the climb itself, started by desperately clinging onto the pile of branches to a mossy scramble. giant purple crab sighted in a potential hand hold. back on the slabbier wall until it got too wide then switched walls. well spaced out bolts. jugs near the top of the chimney, thought it was all over but a long delicate slab was waiting for me. reminiscent of wacky tabacci back home. type 1.5 kind of fun. leg day indeed. roughly 15 bolts + anchor
Tue 26th Mar 2024 - Koh Tao
The backyard
	6A	No.20 M - with Cuong	Boulder
tough for the grade and confusing description. i did a sit start then threw to the crack rail, traversed right and matched on the lower rail. tricky high feet.
	6B+	★ Balance way - with Cuong	Boulder
real small edges, could not ascend
	5	Too smart - with Cuong	Boulder
impossible to sit start. did the stand start instead and avoided the overgrown top out
	4+	Apple tree - with Cuong	Boulder
first granite climb! hard to get established then it's nice, can throw in a right knee bar if feeling frisky
	6A+	★ Nepal tree - with Cuong	Boulder
nice & straight forward
	6B+	★★ Nitrox — 2 attempts - with Cuong	Boulder
line looks mega. big move after the sit start
Sun 24th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Dum's Kitchen
	6c	★ No Name	Sport 15m, 5
9th day on. got absolutely destroyed by the first couple moves. a hard onsight if you don’t know where the holds are.
Sun 24th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
The Nest & Wild Kingdom
	7a	★★ Freedom Safari	Sport 28m, 10
up until the 2nd last bolt, similar moves to mutual of omaha next to it. rested at the crux to figure out the real nice techy sequence to the anchor. good last climb of tonsai, will be back!
	6c	★★ Mutual of Omaha	Sport 25m, 8
last crag of tonsai, decided to be brave and put up the draws. lots of beta from daye for this zig zaggy route, he taught me to enjoy and appreciate sustained lines. pushed through the pump on this mega long juggy overhang.
Sun 24th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Tyrolean Wall
	7a	★★ Lars & Lars	Sport 25m, 9
loved this route a lot, delicate footwork and body positioning on polished footholds, easy pump. cheers daye for setting the draws up (almost everyday)!
Sat 23rd Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Dum's Kitchen
	6c+	★★★ The Lion King - with Angela Ha	Sport 12m, 4
felt more doable than the last attempt at midnight. found a nice new sequence for the end! LF heel hook match LH, then throw LH to megajug. or just deadpoint the RH with high feet.
Sat 23rd Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Ton Sai Wall & Roof
	7a	★★ Babes in Thailand - with Angela Ha, Cuong	Sport 12m, 5
went bolt to bolt to figure out the moves. never ended up coming back to link them
Sat 23rd Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Melting Wall
	6b	★ Right Hand of Buddha - with Angela Ha	Sport 15m, 5
tad easier then captain hook, more holds available. this wall has really nice routes for how short they are.
	6b	★ Captain Hook - with Angela Ha	Sport 15m, 5
cool flowy route, high feet high hands
	6a	★ Climb of the Ancient Mariner P1 - with Angela Ha	Sport 13m, 5

Eagle Wall Main Face
	6a+	★★ Where Eagles Don't Dare - with Angela Ha, Cuong	Sport 30m, 9
enjoyable nice line, i like. good high up view of the peninsula before catching a longtail boat to enjoy the sunset from the beach.
	6b+	★★ Sea Monkeys - with Angela Ha	Sport 30m, 12
thought this was the start to 4:20. super desperate bouldery start, had to downclimb to not deck it.
	6a	★ 4:20 - with Angela Ha	Sport 15m, 5
one of the hardest 6a’s i’ve tried. super polished. pulled hard on a mono and a ringlock?! guidebook topo is incorrect, start on the ledge sloping up left to right to avoid the risky direct start.
Wed 20th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Ton Sai Wall & Roof
	6b	★★ I No Speak England - with Angela Ha	Sport 25m, 11	★★ Very Good
climb up one long tufa, bouldery start. stick clip first 2. blind jugs to finish. 5 or 6 piece anchor haha

Monkey World
	6a	★★ Shoulda Coulda Woulda P1 - with Angela Ha 1 6a 26m Sport lead by Angela Ha 50m rope wasn't long enough for Ange to be lowered to the ground	Sport 26m, 38
very 3d, felt desperate at times, sharp finish
Tue 19th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Dum's Kitchen
	6b+	★★ The Sit Spins	Sport 20m, 8
real climb starts after the traverse. happy with trying hard on this sustained route. very run out near the top, just push through with the layback
Tue 19th Mar 2024 - Railay
Thaiwand Wall
	6a+	★ Primal Scream - with Cuong	Sport 15m, 7
short route but reachy crux over the edge
Mon 18th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Fire Wall
	6a	★★★ The Groove Tube - with Cuong	Sport 25m, 11	★★★ Classic
cool line, did the squeeze start. when dark, you look up and the route just keeps on going. glad we could hop on after the massive queue
	6a+	★★ Up in Smoke - with Cuong	Sport 17m, 9
jugs and good feet
Mon 18th Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Dum's Kitchen

	6b	★ Schlingel Max - with Cuong	Sport 15m, 6
cool techy crux on a slab of polished rock
Sun 17th Mar 2024 - The North Wall
Jurassic X-Mas
	6c	★★★ Diana Ross - with Cuong	Sport 23m, 11	★★★ Classic
debating whether i tick this or not... dialled down the two cruxes, felt so smooth. traversed to the anchor the proper way this time, attempted to clip the anchor 4 times but failed. there's one locker and one biner at the anchor, locker was locked and biner was upside down. pumped out from trying to reshuffle them around, and was too far from the rest to downclimb. later someone told me i could have put my own draw up to clip!! tunnel-visioned so hard i forgot that was an option
Sun 17th Mar 2024 - The North Wall
Rock'n Roll
	6a	★★ Keep Yourself Alive - with Cuong	Sport 25m, 13
a beautiful line. think i only stemmed once, very polished
Sat 16th Mar 2024 - The North Wall
Jurassic X-Mas
	6a	★ The Stoneman - with Cuong	Sport 20m, 11
guidebook says 6 draws, i think we used 9 and backcleaned
	6c	★★★ Diana Ross - with Cuong	Sport 23m, 11	★★★ Classic
lovely permadraws. didn't know at the time but i went to the anchor via the gladiator extension instead of following the red draws to the right. you'll know you went the wrong way if the anchor is at your feet
Thu 14th Mar 2024 - Railay
Wee's Present Wall
	6a	★★ A Man Can Tell a 1000 Lies	Sport 15m, 4
precarious high first sling. run out but safe
Thu 14th Mar 2024 - Railay
Thaiwand Wall
	6b	★★ Monkey Love	Sport 25m, 7
spicy blind traverse to anchor. blind holds but good the further you dig in. bit of a desperate crawl to the anchor
	6a	★★ Sun	Sport 15m, 10
depth perception was a bit off from being too baked. real fun focussing one move at a time
	6a+	★★ Circus Oz P1 1 6a+ 25m Sport	Sport 25m, 41
guidebook says 25m, felt longer. crux at the no-fall zone with polished polished feet. amazing view of railay and tyrolean wall from the top

Mon 11th Mar 2024 - Batu Caves
Damai Wall Main Wall
	6b	★★ Monsoon P1 - with marcusglue 1 25 Sport lead by linna	Sport 25m
decided to do a multipitch after a 2 hour maccas and bank break. five routes within a metre apart of each other, so hard to find the second pitch so we bailed after p1. thecrag and guidebook topo are different. i really enjoyed this. thanks to sodiq, the crag owner's son, for cheering me on through the crimpy lockoff crux
	6b	★★ Lightning Grip - with marcusglue	Sport 25m, 14
stiff crux with polished feet. skipped the move as i was faffing too hard
	6b	★★ 3 Brothers - with marcusglue	Sport 22m, 7
high first clip, fun dihedral crack then crux over the mini roof and traverse left then back right to the anchor.
Sat 9th Mar 2024 - Gunung Lang
East Wall
	6b	★★ Route 4 - with marcusglue	Sport 18m, 8
fun route, had a little fright at the crux because a) i could deck while mantling, b) all the pocket handholds had spiders and webs in them, and c) two fixed hangers were loose
	6a	★★ Marrybrown - with marcusglue	Sport 18m	Don't Bother
hard boulder start on tufa then a grade 5 the rest of the way. 9 slings + an optional 2 if you want rope drag. stay left approaching the anchor. at least two rotten slings need replacing and make sure to check the rappel maillon is screwed shut. needs some heavy cleaning
Tue 5th Mar 2024 - Chong Phli - Spirit Mountain
Hearth Cave
	6a	★★ Yellow Moon - with marcusglue, Oliver	Sport 15m, 9
three-dimensional tufa climbing. sharp holds, trust the feet
	6b+	★★ Slim - with marcusglue, Oliver	Sport 12m, 8
did a link up starting with shady then traversing right to finish on slim shady. stay low to get your helmet through the tufa!
Tue 5th Mar 2024 - Chong Phli - Spirit Mountain
The Ego Free Zone
	6a+	★★ Spirit Mountain - with marcusglue, Oliver	Sport 20m, 10
god this made me love slab. quality flowy route, except for the blocked off loose rock at the anchor

Sun 3rd Mar 2024 - Railay
Wee's Present Wall
	6a+	★★ Hello Christine - with marcusglue	Sport 20m, 7
a combination of fear and flow, the best kind. bolted trad-like route with a hand jam, bridging, mantles, traversing with no feet, hugging tufas for your life. mint
Sun 3rd Mar 2024 - Railay
Muay Thai
	6b+	★★ Muay Thai - with marcusglue	Sport 15m, 5

Sat 2nd Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Temple Boulder Cave
	6B	★★★ Ten Commandments — 3 attempts	Boulder
tricky sustained v4. traddy traverse, daring drop knees and dynos. precious skin was used here. will be back!
Sat 2nd Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Tyrolean Wall
	6b+	★★ Missing Snow - with marcusglue	Sport 20m, 8
totally underestimated the route. tried too hard on placebo, couldn't even hold onto the jugs here. still unsure which path to climb near the anchor
	6c	★ Placebo - with marcusglue	Sport 19m, 8
again, only line free. really liked this one, lots of variety of moves and so flowy
Fri 1st Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
The Nest & Wild Kingdom
	6b	★ Wacky Weed - with marcusglue	Sport 23m, 8
attempted but could not commit to the direct crux, went round the left over the tufa instead. tried the reachy crux on top rope after. bring mozzie coils!
Fri 1st Mar 2024 - Ton Sai
Dum's Kitchen
	6c	★★ Good Medicine - with marcusglue	Sport 23m, 7
first climb in tonsai! and in the sun!! tough two move crux at the bulge then some relief on slab

Life of Leif
	6b	Ecopoint ★★★ Natalie	Sport 23m, 11
adventurous climbing. last bit was an interesting bolted chimney, totally not my style sliding in my sweat but sufferable because it was short-lived
Wed 28th Feb 2024 - The North Wall
Jurassic X-Mas
	6a+	Ecopoint ★★ Queen of the Highway	Sport 30m, 13
bloody long route, lots of zig zagging, trial and erroring, almost didn't make it. first crux is the bamboo ladder approach. harder than 6b natalie
	5	Ecopoint ★★ Carrie On	Sport 20m
walked 20 minutes in the heat with long pants and a thick cotton shirt because all my other clothes were in the washing machine. sandbagged due to decking potential, and not as juggy as one thinks
	6a	Ecopoint ★★ Find a Heart	Sport 15m, 10
good stuff. just when it was getting hard, found some tufas to stem off. apparently anchor has been relocated half a metre higher, which made for an awkward clip horizontally
Wed 21st Feb 2024 - Crazy Horse
Crazy Horse Area
	6a+	★★ It's Got to Be Funky - with Cuong	Sport 20m, 9
fun pitch finishing up near the crazy horse rock and fun simul-rapping down with less than sufficient gear
	6b	★★ The Bamboo Finders - with Angela Ha, Cuong	Sport 21m, 10
dragged cuong into a two-pitch multi, hard start from the ground, dogged the first draw. committing sequence coming out the overhang, was pulling on dish-like monos
	6a	★ Ayah! - with Angela Ha, Cuong	Sport 21m, 11
bloody polished, hard route finding
Sun 11th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Hilton
	6c	★★★ Mon General - with Cuong, Angela Ha	Sport 25m, 14
cruxy and pumpy
Sat 10th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Roof Right Side
	7a	★★ Cheeky Fucker - with Cuong	Sport 22m
scary as shit, but enjoyed it throughly after the upside down crux. good rests and the tufa climbing was excellent, i am finally conquering this fear. happy with attempting all routes on the 7a ticklist
Sat 10th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Hangover
	7a	★★★ Schwitzerland - with Cuong, Angela Ha	Sport 19m, 8
unfortunately left this project till the last day, had one good attempt with two takes (dynamic left undercling, and crawling up the tufa), then went back down to top rope the second half from the crux. power-grunted the entire way which i usually never do
Fri 9th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Flying Circus
	6b	★★ Chinese New Year - with robbit 1 5b 23 Second lead by robbit combined p1 & p2 2 5c+ 30 Second lead by robbit sharp 3 6b 33 Second lead by robbit interesting moves across a huge flake 4 5b 44 Sport lead by linna longer than expected route. super run out at the top, only knew i was at the summit when i saw the tin of cookies	Sport 130m
fun cny eve activity after resisting the temptation to climb all day. swig of whisky at the summit and simul-rappelled the five pitches without losing rope or needing to ascend. very nice
Thu 8th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Music Hall
	6b	★★ Unplugged - with Cuong, Angela Ha	Sport 23m, 11
got buttplugged by this sandbagged route. most desperate crawl to clip the anchor. lots of rests and cool boulder move through the first roof.
	5c+	★★★ Caveman - with Cuong	Sport 10m, 6
cave or climb? stemming head first facing down is quite a thriller. whipped at extension to anchor of der organist, need to keep feet low, found a double knee bar and gaston
Tue 6th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Schöffl Block
	7a	★★ Sound of Music - with Cuong	Sport 20m, 10
mon general was busy so why not try another 7a. first half was chill then a couple of bouldery moves into a traverse then reachy lockoff at the anchor
Tue 6th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Open All Hours
	6a+	★★ 100% Special - with Cuong, Angela Ha	Sport 15m, 9
pumpy fun
	7a	★★ L4 One Of The Best - with Cuong	Sport 22m, 10
classic blue mountains line. climbed 1m left of the line of bolts. cruxy traverse then jugsss
Sun 4th Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Bayerischer Wald
	5c+	★ Apron Strings - with Angela Ha, Cuong	Sport 18m, 9
even spicier tufa climbing. stiff for the grade and definitely scarier than the 6a+ on the left
	6a+	★★ Vooc Leo Nui - with Angela Ha, Cuong	Sport 17m, 9
spicy tufa climbing
	6c	★★ Gaston Cat Whips - with Angela Ha, Cuong, Lucas Low	Sport 17m, 11
lots of microbeta helped with the send, was a desperate clip for the anchor. belayer should watch out for mega choss from the top third of the route
Sat 3rd Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Canyon Canyon Right
	6b+	★★ Super Mario	Sport 26m, 16
send train with sorte, so stoked!! totally my style, bouldery cruxes and lots of rests. top half had parallels with temple run, which helped prep for it
	5c+	★★ Temple Run	Sport 35m, 18
longest route i've climbed, cool route though it does look intimidating. one small crux then jugs to heaven
Fri 2nd Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam
Hangover
	6a+	★ Russell's Angelheart — 2 attempts - with Angela Ha	Sport 21m, 8
legitimately found this harder than a 6b+. probably because it was my first hard climb in the humidity, snorting bugs and wishing i had earplugs to block out the bzzing sound. weird line of bolts, super pumpy and run out near the top. pushed through the fear somehow. two attempts at the hard start, me no like tufas
Fri 2nd Feb 2024 - Pha Tam Kam

Dragon Wall
	7a	★★★ A Lê Lê - with Lucas Low, alfie jones	Sport 30m
was so cool seeing lucas send this. i got too scared, but i did like the moves. probably could be a project but tis the last climb of vietnam
	6b	★★★ Once upon a time in the East - with Lucas Low, alfie jones, Peta Somerville, Angela Ha	Sport 28m, 14
hell yeah, so happy with this and thankful for the support through the crux. was going to give up a few times. traverse was like 'so, said the king' back home so i knew i could go for it. post-crux face climb was soooo polished, needed to be careful to not lose my footing
	5b	★ Bi-dihedral - with Lucas Low, alfie jones, Peta Somerville, Angela Ha	Sport 15m
struggled with the stemming and route reading as i was trying too hard to stay in the dihedral. more like face climbing. loose rock near top
