20 | Tom Tom Club | 23m | Blue Mountains | Average | Tue 4th Dec 2012 | |||
The higher you get, the chossier it gets! Nothing memorable apart from struggling to hold on at a really sandy bit.

20 | ★★ Brother Sun | 15m, 6 | Alfords Point | ★★ Very Good | Wed 23rd May 2018 | |||
Didn't expect to handjam today... I think it's nicer than Sister Moon.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Galvanise | 10m, 5 | Mount Alexandra | ★★ Very Good | Fri 18th Apr 2014 | |||
Still so sore!! Really interesting climbing in this cave; a good warm up for the other stuff here.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Theory of Negativity | 22m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Nov 2012 | |||
Cool moves, and nice rock (after the first few metres) Big holds, but not necessarily big jugs the whole way. Need to improve on endurance, I was pumped senseless by the end! Clipped the anchors and fell almost instantly after that.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Radioactive Man | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 26th Nov 2012 | |||
Juggy start, spread your feet for no hands rest before crux, then just follow the chalk! Straight up, veering right with the bolts, not out left. Anchors are in a silly position. Partner seconded to clean and rappelled. Super fun!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Change Junkies | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Mar 2018 | |||
Had bolt plates; so why not?
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Go Lotto | 22m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 24th Mar 2013 | |||
Enjoyed this, figured out the crux pretty quickly, but it was a tough move. Another little awkward section about 3/4 up, the rest was straight forward, nice vertical climbing.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Aonang Aonang - with Jack Ferguson, Ben Molnar | 12m, 3 | Blue Mountains | Average | Thu 28th Dec 2023 | |||
A bit contrived, religiously stuck to the face, definitely a squeeze job.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Rock Snob | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | Average | Fri 12th Sep 2014 | |||
Maybe worth doing once? If the rock was better, it wouldn't be too bad! One hard move at the top which includes one really high footer.
|
||||||||
20 19 | ★★ Powerbra Rangers | 23m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 27th Oct 2012 | |||
Pumpy first half or so, to a no hands rest, one reachy move (for me at least). Pleasant climbing! My feet felt like they were about to explode. (New pair of shoes!)
|
||||||||
20 21 | ★★ Flash Flood - with lucky chance | 18m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th Mar 2013 | |||
Another great route! The crux was super duper fun, loved the body position! Think I actually showed some technique for once!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Aarvark - with Ben Molnar, Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson | 9m, 3 | Bonnet Bay | Average | Mon 1st Jan 2024 | |||
Contrived, hence average but good climbing. Did my best to stay direct which involved minging a crimp off the ground and ignoring the jugs 30cm to the right…
Honestly just climb the most logical line and enjoy! |
||||||||
20 | ★★ Bruised and Scratched - with Ben Molnar, Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson | 15m, 6 | Bonnet Bay | ★★ Very Good | Mon 1st Jan 2024 | |||
One bomber hand jam, one bomber fist jam and then off-width goodness! I definitely still thrutched.
Nice to practice the technique without the fear! |
||||||||
20 | ★★ Mr Christmas Poo | 20m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 11th Dec 2013 | |||
This wall has got to be one of my favourites, not a slab, not overhanging. Just nice face climbing on good holds. Enjoyed this!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Old Blobby | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 4th Dec 2012 | |||
Crux is at start, but not too bad, all jugs afterwards, little steep at the end that brings on a pump!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Heavy Metal - Direct Start | 18m, 4 | Upper Gara Gorge | ★ Good | Fri 29th Mar 2013 | |||
A lot harder going out this way, totally forgot to breathe on one of the moves and went a little light-headed! If you're short, putting the bolt plate on the second bolt will be TOUGH, it was hard enough to clip.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Dr Foopsickle | 8m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 27th Oct 2012 | |||
Super fun! I'm surprised I flashed it though. Rad pockets. Just don't let go. Agree with you Ben, this should be ticked more!
|
||||||||
20 to 21 ~21 | ★ Ernest Lady (linkup) - with Jack Ferguson | 14m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 29th Dec 2023 | |||
Draws were on and I had never climbed it, so figured it would be a good warm up? Not that easy, would have to disagree with 20!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Neil Diamond Syndrome | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 25th Sep 2015 | |||
Very pleasant climb! Few moves, ledge; few moves, ledge; repeat!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Murmel Snooze | 25m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 12th Jan 2016 | |||
Current guide has this as 21, probably right? The crux involves a right heel hook, but I came up with an inventive left heel to kneebar Was very happy with that!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Changes | 20m | Blue Mountains | Average | Sun 18th Nov 2012 | |||
Not that great of a climb. Crux is just one bad two finger pocket. One area with no feet, so I reached high and just did a pullup with two crimps, haha. Woohoo for being light as hell!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Kraut Pleaser | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 12th Aug 2017 | |||
A bit pumpier than I expected, and fairly spoogy; I don't see the hype...
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Truancy Officer | 15m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 26th Sep 2012 | |||
Straight forward, balancey crux. Soft for a 20 indeedy.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Exploding Zombies | 40m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 8th Jun 2013 | |||
A lovely long wall, very consistent and sustained, but with some certain technical bits on small holds/footholds. There are some great rests, so keep pushing through!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Duckling | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 24th Jun 2017 | |||
Had 18 written under it, rubbed it out afterwards! Bit tricky, but not very memorable
|
||||||||
20 | ★ The Royal Commission | 14m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 2nd May 2018 | |||
Should clean up nicely with more ascents!
|
||||||||
20 19 | ★★ Hot Flyer pitch 1 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 1st Oct 2012 | |||
I have never been so terrified from a climb in my life. Balancey as hell start, I don't know how tall people can do this! Gets easier as you go higher.
|
||||||||
20 19/20 | ★ Charlene | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 12th Jan 2016 | |||
Really good top half; some good climbing! Not trad, Thanjon solo'd the start, no gear necessary. "Mixed' climb if anything
|
||||||||
20 19 | ★ Belayer's Root | 14m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 12th Jan 2014 | |||
Enjoyable and cruisy, definitely worth a lap; but it's over rather quickly.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Starman | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 2nd Feb 2014 | |||
Repeat placing draws for warmup, one move than jugs to the top. Bolting a bit sparse at top, but easy ground.
|
||||||||
20 ~19 | ★★ Strange Karma - with Jack Ferguson, kyle, Caitlyn | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 25th Feb 2024 | |||
Blocks didn’t seem too loose?? Easy for 20
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Nude Tuesday | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Nov 2012 | |||
Hard move at second bolt, hardish move near top too. 19/20, yeah. Go straight up! Going left or right veers into the easy territory of the other climbs.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Hark! The .. | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 21st Jan 2024 | |||
Nice climbing and features
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Resistor - with lucky chance | 20m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 17th Apr 2013 | |||
First attempt today! I still think it is harder than 20 though. The crux is just too damn hard.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Nice Vice Baby — 2 attempts | 20m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 7th Jun 2016 | |||
Twice, to warm up (never got warm, if anything, we got much colder today)
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Flaming Flamingo pitch 1 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 22nd Apr 2014 | |||
Repeat, a pleasant warm-up (as far as slabs go) on a day like this!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Sound and Vision | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 15th Sep 2012 | |||
Tough crux, took a few tries, but I got it. At the crux, ignore the two chalked up crimps on the right, they're useless. Rest is straight forward. Would like to lead this cleanly sometime! 21 in the guidebook.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ World According To Garf | 6m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sun 9th Sep 2012 | |||
Thought this was the 18, oops. Awesome holds, slippery rock, cool/fun moves, but PUMPY. Fell off trying to get over the bulge (third clip) and didn't have it in me to have another go. Devastated. Really wish I got this one, it seemed great! Will get it next time for sure!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Statistical Scare Tactics | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 22nd Sep 2012 | |||
Tough for a 20, didn't stem, but I felt like I needed to flag to that side so much. Kept falling at the anchors.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ La Femme Flic | 30m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 28th Aug 2016 | |||
Not the best idea to do this when it's windy, god it was cold! Pumped off staring at the anchor, f-ck.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Araldite (Megan 1) | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 5th Oct 2015 | |||
Start was so hard, what the hell?! Fell a couple times trying to sort it out there...
