Tue 7th Mar 2023 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Narrow Neck Crags Southern Crag
13 ★★★ Cave Climb - with Erik Smits Trad 50m ★★★ Classic
Repeat with E

  
Sun 18th Jul 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area
15 ★★ The Carthaginian Trad 33m ★★ Very Good
Can't claim the onsight. Seconded this 19 years ago

 
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
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]

  
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.

  
Sun 31st Mar 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - North
23 ★★ The Seventh Banana Pitch 1 - with Sammi Trad 20m ★★★ Classic
12 years since I last climbed this. I was bolder back then.

  
Fri 14th Apr 2017 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area
14 ★★ Joseph - with Lee Cujes Trad 46m ★★ Very Good
Repeat.

Repeat after 17 years. This was magic today.

  
17 ★★★ Psychopath - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner Trad 28m ★★★ Classic
Mucho hand jamming. Repeat - apparently!

  
Tue 7th Jul 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grand Junction Wall
24 ★★ Land of Green Navels - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner Mixed trad 30m, 10 ★ Good
Took a cam this time and was much happier. Still a tricky proposition up the top. [2]

  
Wed 23rd Apr 2014 - Point Perpendicular
Seaside Windjammer Wall
17 ★★★ Grey Mist Trad 30m ★★★ Mega Classic

Sat 8th Feb 2014 - Urbenville
Vesuvius
23 ★★ Blowing Smoke Trad 25m ★★★ Classic
FFA. Placed all gear on lead. This was great, but as the only gear route at the cliff I don't imagine anyone will repeat it any time soon.

  
Sat 31st Aug 2013 - Point Perpendicular
The Lighthouse Centurion Area
22 ★★ Titan I Am Mixed trad 25m, 10 ★★★ Classic
Finally! Super duper good, but I'm biased

24 ★★ Barracouta - with Erik Mixed trad 30m, 4 ★★★ Classic
This was an old dog from years ago. Super insanely happy to NOT fall off the top. Ended up dynoing off tiny monos to the clifftop and just stuck it.

  
Tue 13th Nov 2012 - Mt Tibrogargan
Summit Caves
28 ★★★ Massive Attack - with JJ Mixed trad 20m, 4 ★★ Very Good
FFA. Freed this old project of Gareth & Adam's (thanks guys!) A few bits of trad to get to the roof, drop rope, then use second rope to climb the rest (all bolts). We removed all sharp edges so it's ready to go. Climbing might be ~27, but it's pretty adventurous and I doubt it'll get repeated anytime soon - unfortunately! [4]
