16 17 Barking Knuckles Pitch 3 Crack Finish (Barking Knuckles) - with Phuong Ho Mixed trad 55m, 19 Mt Gibraltar Classic Sun 18th Mar 2018
Linked P1 and P2. P3 crack requires a few cams

 
16 Road Runner Mixed trad 10m, 2 Terrey Hills Average Sun 27th Sep 2020
Used both carrots and then traversed back to lower offs on Cartoon Physics. More like a variant rather than a distinct route on its own

 
16 Van Trad 44m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 27th Oct 2019
Excellent climbing on good gear. Jamming not mandatory as there are plenty of face holds and jugs

 
16 Fairy Tales Mixed trad 13m, 2 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 20th Oct 2019
Trended left after first bolt to find some small offset nut placements. Then up the arete

 
16 Man Overboard Trad 26m Point Perpendicular Mega Classic Sat 18th Jul 2020
Loved this route. Face holds, jamming, stemming and laybacks. Used double rack to #4 and a #6 was also helpful plus a few hexes.

 
16 Sexy Sue Trad 10m Wahroonga Good Sat 25th Apr 2020
Good climbing and good pro but slopey top out

 
16 The Iliad Trad 87m Blue Mountains Average Sat 14th Jan 2023
Led P1 and P4. P1 was actually not bad even with a few bushes. Start of P2 was highly risky on lead as the flake is flexing a lot and can't hold a wire. Punchy start and awful blocks to land on. Rusty piton and #0.5 in a pocket further left in the roof is the only pro. P3 start was quite punchy and hard to place gear but it worked (#0.3, #0.4 and #0.75). P4 was awkward in a way but not too bad.

I would say the grade is a little higher given the 2 cruxes and the level of risk. Some blocks/holds are not easy to trust.

 
16 Gold Star Pitch 1 - with Ev Trad 30m Blue Mountains Classic Wed 15th Nov 2023
Really awesome climb. Easy to protect and a lot of super nice holds

 
16 Michael in Shorts Trad 15m Mount Alexandra Very Good Fri 3rd Jan 2020
16 Jobless High School Student Mixed trad 20m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 22nd Jun 2019
Left to first bolt then back to corner under roof. Runout on easy ground with very little pro

 
16 Enjoy the Journey Trad 18m Blue Mountains Average Sat 22nd Jun 2019
Not the best climbing. Easy to protect first half through crux, then 10metre runout with no pro to lower offs

 
16 Zimmer crack Trad 9m Woronora Lookout Average Sun 24th May 2020
A one move wonder with a layback. Used a number 4 and 5 cam to protect the wide crack. Belay at large gum tree up the hill (don't trust the Banksia)

 
16 The Spartan - with Ev
1 14 16 Second lead by Ev
2 16 24 Trad lead by Geoff Cooper

Made it up the offwith ok, but struggled to sustain the squeezy traverse due to the very high heat and humidity. Hands kept slipping off the holds

3 14 10 Second lead by Ev
Mixed trad 50m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Sat 13th Jan 2024
16 Penguin Pete Mixed trad 20m, 3 Blue Mountains Average Sat 27th Apr 2024
Wouldn't be keen to repeat. Not much pro apart from 3 bolts. 2 pockets for a #0.5 above the first bolt and a #1 well above the third bolt - after an exciting move or two. Couldn't find anything else

 
16 Sympatico Trad 20m Point Perpendicular Very Good Sat 21st Nov 2020
Gear is quite good through the ascending right traverse onto the block. Airy move up to the final crack with well protected hand jamming to the top

 
16 Professor Wigginsworth's Chunder Bucket Mixed trad 20m, 3 Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 11th Dec 2022
16 Wild Ride Trad 18m Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 8th Dec 2019
That's the 1,000th ascent for me. Good lead except for the location of the first bolt. Some tricky moves but all fine and especially the well protected top section

 
16 The Gates of Janus - with Ev Trad 50m Blue Mountains Classic Tue 28th May 2024
16 Slaba Daba Doo Trad 20m Bungonia Gorge Very Good Sun 11th Sep 2022

16 Psychic Aberration - with Gavin Rech Trad 35m Point Perpendicular Good Sun 11th Jun 2023
16 Veronica Trad 10m Wahroonga Crap Sat 25th Jul 2015
16 ~17 Tol Trad 50m Blue Mountains Good Sat 3rd Feb 2024
Very short laybacking section on P2 and early in P3. Both are a little tricky and perhaps difficult to place gear whilst in those areas. Did as 2 pitches

 
16 Pledge a Legend Trad 16m Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 17th May 2015
16 Obi-Wan Camnobi Trad 9m Woronora Lookout Crap Sun 24th May 2020
Try as I might to avoid stemming, the crack was too wide for feet and at the top became dirty and grimey. Took a little fall on the green cam then finally reached the overhanging boulder on top for a forgettable ascent
