6c+ 7a | ★★★ Ricounet | 25m, 11 | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Mon 14th Oct 2013 | |||
Bridging up tufa curtains. Climbs a bit like a trad route.
|

6c+ 7a | ★★ Crisis | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Sun 25th Sep 2011 | |||
Climbs a bit differently (and is harder) than first impressions.

Really cool! Somehow felt like climbing a Coolum route, but vertical. No grabbing and pulling on holds, it's all pushing, underclinging, sidepulls.

Geez. Tricky. Hard.

Very hairy OS - hard!
|
||||||||
22 23 | ★★★ Subliminal | 92m, 33 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 10th Mar 2012 | |||
3rd ascent. Traverse pitch was JJ's, I did the 60m arete. I think it probably can be done on a 60m rope, and I wouldn't want to see it split with a halfway anchor. Started walking down to it at 4:20pm which was not ideal. Topped in the dark. Arete pitch is almost certainly 23, maybe even 24.

22 23 | ★★ Trigger Warning | 30m, 15 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 30th Apr 2017 | |||

Crimpy and tough Margalef-style beginning, easy middle, and tough tufa top.

6c+ | ★★ Paris | 30m | Kalymnos | Don't Bother | Mon 19th Sep 2011 | |||
I really did not like this AT all. Slab climbing for starters, with dangerous fall potential, plus it was hard. I am a winger.

6c+ | ★★ Le torcheur d'elephants | 25m | Saint-Léger du Ventoux | ★★ Very Good | Fri 25th Oct 2013 | |||
I could straight arm most of this jug haul and it actually felt good. This would be a good project at the grade, if a little runout.
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★ els iluminati | 22m | Santa Linya | ★ Good | Fri 8th Nov 2013 | |||
The bright orange rock on this looks and is quite amazing. Cool cracks and features, and a lil bit powerful.
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★★ Principessa Giulia - with Sammi, jjobrien | 25m, 13 | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Tue 17th Oct 2017 | |||
Low crux then ongoing. No pump. So good to have some fitness to start the trip.
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★★ HarniscH - with Sammi | 35m, 13 | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Tue 25th Oct 2022 | |||

Excellent sustained wall climbing with a reachy crux above the bolt.
|

6c+ | ★ Encantats de la vida | 20m | Camarasa | ★★ Very Good | Wed 6th Nov 2013 | |||
Hell. This looks like piss from the ground. It is not! You've got to pull hard from the first move to the top. Would be 7b at some other crags. 6c+ - the nails grade.
|
||||||||
6c 6c+ | ★★ Cat Walk - with Sam | 28m, 12 | San Vito lo Capo | ★★ Very Good | Mon 29th Sep 2014 | |||

6c+ | ★★ Red Peroni - with Sam, JJ, Erik | 25m, 12 | San Vito lo Capo | ★★ Very Good | Mon 13th Oct 2014 | |||
Huge chimney-cleft. Wild overhung moves to exit onto the headwall, then crux pawing on prickle-slopers.

6c+ | ★★ C100 francs | 30m | Gorges du Tarn | ★★ Very Good | Fri 1st Nov 2013 | |||
Another "line" - this time another tall shallow groove. In the absence of a guidebook I decided to climb the "lines". This one was good, and hard. Technical, some decent runouts. I was breathing hard by the top.
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★ Xerxes - with Sammi | 37m, 19 | Kalymnos | Average | Tue 31st Oct 2017 | |||
Some good moves, but when you need to use a different colour line on the topo because its so squeezed amongst the neighbouring lines, meh, not a fan.
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★ El Senor de los Bordillos - with Sam | 200m | Vilanova de Meià | ★★ Very Good | Sat 23rd Nov 2013 | |||
8°C when we started at lunchtime. All onsight except for last couple of metres. Ran out of rope and comms trying to link the final three pitches with a 76m rope. Did not work. Downclimbed, built a belay in the middle of the pitch, brought up Sam, it went dark and we simul-rapped off into oblivion. I lost a havaiana. If you find it, please post to Australia, it's my favourite. 3°C back at the car.

I was dead positive I was on the 6a+, hence sneakers and a casual approach, which quickly turned into a gripping warm up. Just what the doctor ordered.
