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

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 | 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 | 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 | 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.

Good climbing and good pro but slopey top out

16 | ★★ The Iliad | 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 | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Wed 15th Nov 2023 | |||
Really awesome climb. Easy to protect and a lot of super nice holds

16 | ★★ Jobless High School Student | 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 | 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 | 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)

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 | 50m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 13th Jan 2024 | |||
16 | ★ Penguin Pete | 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 | 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 | ★ Wild Ride | 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 ~17 | ★★★ Tol | 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 | ★ Obi-Wan Camnobi | 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
