6b 7a | ★★ Musang (Musong p4) | 120m, 48 | Ton Sai | Average | Tue 1st Feb 2011 | |||
A quick add-on pitch just to top out in the huge cave. More like 6c.

20 22 | ★★ The Sun is the Same (Unknown Left) | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 29th Aug 2020 | |||
Really great, but a couple of spicy runouts mean you'll enjoy this more with a few grades of buffer. Could be 22ish?
|

6b 6c/c+ | ★ My Long Holiday | 25m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Mon 29th Mar 2010 | |||
Tricky start and a bit sharp.

20 21 | ★★ Starman - with Sammi | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Jun 2015 | |||
A shared start bolt would go a long way for this otherwise lovely jaunt in the winter sun.

Totally unique for Kalymnos. A big mountain route. Huge 30m flake.
|
||||||||
6b 6b+ | ★★ Anne - with Sammi | 30m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Sun 27th Sep 2015 | |||
This felt like it went on forever. Some quite hard bits - probably want to be pulling harder than 6b to feel comfortable on this.

20 | ★ Pommy Bastard | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | Average | Tue 3rd Dec 2002 | |||
Onsighted prior to rebolting. Original comment: 'Contrary to guidebook, there's only 3 dodgy bolts. Between the first and second you could deck out. Cams in poor rock could better protect the runout top.'

It was dark, windy and cold. I downclimbed from the crux to rest. I was shitting bricks! Just managed to pull through on it. Much better than my ascent was Sammi's when she seconded with only one rest.

20 | ★ Resistor - with sam | 20m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Thu 27th Dec 2012 | |||
Nice jugging, then a very hard crux, doubtful that it's grade 20. More like 21 or 22 crux.
|

20 | ★ Old Blobby - with Sammi | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 6th Dec 2015 | |||
The biggest holds in the mountains.

20 | ★★★ Theory of Negativity - with Sammi | 22m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Tue 5th May 2015 | |||

20 | ★★★ This Sporting Life - with Sam | 43m, 15 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Mon 31st Dec 2012 | |||
First pitch, grade 27, rediculous. Second pitch, classic jugging and spot on for 20.

20 | ★★ Neil Diamond Syndrome - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 14th Apr 2017 | |||

20 | ★ Crow - with Erik Smits | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains | Average | Sun 5th Jul 2015 | |||

20 | ★ Marooned - with Sammi | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 25th Jul 2015 | |||
I found this a bit tricky actually. Sam did not.

20 | ★ Change Junkies - with Sammi | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 8th Jun 2015 | |||
Half carrots, half fixed hangers. A bit more wandery than some of the others. Still good.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Go Lotto - with Sammi | 22m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Jun 2015 | |||
A defined little reach crux amongst a glorious jug ladder.

20 | ★★ Changes - with Sammi | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 10th Jan 2016 | |||

20 | ★ Satanic Nuns - with Lee Cujes | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 23rd Jul 2016 | |||

Balancy and soft.

20 | ★★ La Femme Flic - with Sammi | 30m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 27th Jun 2015 | |||
One of the best easier routes around here I reckon. A very gradual warm up, techy bit, and then a pump. A must do.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ The Sacred Snakes of Tanahlot (The Sacred Snakes of Tanahlot p1) | 75m, 17 | Mt Tinbeerwah | ★★★ Classic | Sat 13th May 2006 | |||
The first pitch is one of the best 19s in Queensland. And the second pitch doesn't let up either. Get on it!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Drifting Ashore | 22m, 8 | Point Perpendicular | ★★★ Classic | Sun 20th Apr 2014 | |||
Super exposed and well worth doing - a real classic. The top is probably a bit too spicy if you're only leading 20.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Yo Ho Sebastian! - with Sammi, Emil Mandyczewsky | 30m | Blue Mountains | Average | Sat 27th Aug 2016 | |||
Steep start, not really the easy warm up you're looking for, then romping jug slab to final tricky move before anchor.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Duckling - with Sammi | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | Average | Sun 31st May 2015 | |||
This is a nice, wandering piece of climbing, but the bolting is just no good for a climber at this level.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Striptease - with Gordon | 18m, 7 | Pages Pinnacle | ★ Good | Sun 16th Jun 2013 | |||
Some particularly nice rock up high.

20 | Outfox | 25m, 10 | Urbenville | Average | Sun 18th Aug 2013 | |||
Yes, this was terrifying, but has since been fixed with more bolts and better anchor placement.
