18 19 Feeling Rampant Mixed trad 30m, 7 Diamond Lake Very Good Sat 8th Mar 2008
Pleasant trad crack, then stiff move through roof to pleasant slab

 
18 19 Wirilda Mixed trad 70m, 1 Asses Ears Area Very Good Fri 28th May 2010
start of second pitch weird

 
18 Noose Trad 22m Frog Buttress Good Thu 10th Jun 2021
Quite a fun climb, was probably the only 18 left with a star left to do.....

 
18 Blood of the Christ Trad 25m Frog Buttress Good Thu 6th Aug 2020
It’s not R, there is good gear ( mostly smaller) the whole way up, it’s just a bit blind to place. Star for being in the shade.

 
18 Resurrection Corner Trad 25m Frog Buttress Classic Mon 8th Jun 2015
Blue cam size crack, yuck. Fortunately the other crack provided options

 
18 Sacrilege Crack Trad 25m Frog Buttress Good Tue 12th Jun 2018
Quite interesting, not really offwidth climbing

 
18 Borderline 29 Trad 15m Frog Buttress Very Good Mon 8th Jun 2015
Position!

 
18 Gladiator Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Fri 5th Jun 2015
Beautiful jams for size 6 hands

 
18 Warlock Trad 26m Frog Buttress Good Wed 5th Aug 2020
Had seconded via DS, but no recollection. Had to go some distance up YGH before I could step across, so felt harder than 18

 
18 Elastic RURP Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 2nd Aug 2008
Did the arete version to avoid the crack

 
18 Bay Play Trad 10m Frog Buttress Good Sat 2nd Aug 2008
little wires galore!

 
18 Jihad Trad 30m Cape Raoul Classic Sat 7th Jan 2012
Would be good anywhere

 
18 Eurydice Mixed trad 65m, 2 Arapiles Classic Mon 10th Dec 2007
Apart from bird poo and slippery rock the first pitch was nauseatingly good and the second pleasant

 
18 Mega Luv Jugs Mixed trad 15m, 2 Joll's Bridge Average Sat 28th Aug 2010
overrated. Horrible slab at top

 
18 Flying a Kite Mixed trad 45m, 11 Wolgan Valley Good Fri 18th May 2007
Interesting traverse, then easy and exposed arete/face

 
18 Stretching the Point Trad 15m Point Perpendicular Good Sun 5th Jul 2020
I may have gone a bit more direct at the finish than shown in guide book, but climbed ok. With all the trees dead, finding a good anchor was tricky.

 
18 Steel Dance Trad 45m Kaputar Average Fri 4th May 2012
About 6 metres of nice climbing up twin cracks. Take a big cam if you dont want an 8m run out like me.

 
18 Revival Trad 30m Kaputar Very Good Mon 10th May 2010
Nice corner moves

 
18 18 R Darkangel Trad 24m Kaputar Good Fri 14th Apr 2017
An interesting route, and though it's hypocritical of me, I was happy for the retro bolt because there wasn't much gear low down. We trundled a large barely held rock off a ledge immediately below anchors before it killed someone. May be a bit dirty for a month or so.

 
18 Lonely Escalator Trad 50m Kaputar Good Mon 8th Jun 2020
Less loose rock now. Nice varied climbing, but still needs more traffic. Quite enjoyed it.

 
18 Sticks And Stones Mixed trad 33m, 4 Mt Maroon Good Wed 29th Jul 2020
You wouldn’t want to not on sight this. A fall would be rather dramatic given the spaced bolts and crap gear

 
18 Sacred Site Mixed trad 30m, 2 Fortescue Bay Good Thu 17th Feb 2011
fun but the good parts way too short

 
18 Digitalis Trad 62m Mount Wellington Very Good Sun 8th Jan 2012
Led P1. Nice varied moves throughout

 
18 Battle Cruiser Trad 74m Mount Wellington Very Good Mon 6th Jan 2020
Alt with Dave in the fog. Both pitches nice but some loose rock

 
18 Suicide Sadness Trad 60m Mount Wellington Classic Thu 10th Nov 2022
Did as one mega pitch which is probably best avoided, despite good gear management and double ropes the last 10 m were painful. Great climbing

 
18 Good Behaviour Trad Mount Wellington Average Sun 17th Apr 2022
The first half was not bad, with an interesting sequence of moves

 
18 Pareora Corner Trad 15m Mt Horrible Good Fri 18th Mar 2016
A good spot to visit for a half day climbing. Great sunset. This route was nice.

 
18 King Rat Trad 20m Arapiles Very Good Thu 19th Apr 2007
Great line and great fun.

 
18 Riddled Trad 18m Arapiles Average Fri 15th Feb 2013
Hard to get excited about the rock, but probably fine

 
18 Wascal Trad 10m Arapiles Good Wed 22nd Feb 2017
Not that bad if you are short as long as you can hang onto grade 23 nubbins

 
18 Gilt Edged Trad 40m Arapiles Classic Mon 25th Jan 2016
Led P1. Nice, mostly thin crack, and not too slippery.

 
18 Daily Planet Trad 20m Arapiles Good Thu 4th May 2006
reasonable pro, good moves, shame about the chimney start

 
18 The Iliad Connection Trad 40m Arapiles Good Sun 16th Sep 2018
One long pitch with extended runners. Quite steep, but juggy. Good exposure

 
18 Cantata Trad 35m Arapiles Very Good Thu 6th Nov 2014
First climb back here 2014. Led p1, rope drag made me belay

 
18 Jens Roof Mixed trad 30m, 1 Arapiles Average Wed 9th Nov 2011
Easy start, a few jugs then its over.

 
18 Golden Fleece (The Golden Fleece) Trad 35m Arapiles Very Good Sat 1st May 2004
two nice sequences

 
18 The Stoat Steps Out Trad 8m Arapiles Good Mon 14th Oct 2013
Short climbs are scary, but at least this one can be laced up

 
18 Howling Wolf Trad 28m Arapiles Good Thu 15th Apr 2010
18 18 R Preservative Added Mixed trad 30m, 1 Arapiles Good Fri 28th Mar 2008
a little hard and run out but pleasant

 
18 Falcon Trad 30m Arapiles Good Thu 29th Apr 2010
better than it looked, quite pleasant climbing

 
18 Voodoo Trad 65m Arapiles Good Tue 25th Apr 2006
tricky crux move to warm up on

 
18 Transatlantic Crossing Trad 40m Arapiles Very Good Tue 20th Oct 2015
Led p1, both pitches great airy fun

 
18 Huey Trad 16m Arapiles Classic Mon 1st May 2006
Finally an 18 that felt like an 18!

 
18 Turquoise Trad 25m Arapiles Average Fri 14th Dec 2007
THe L finish. Had slight problem with not extended wires enough.

 
18 Free Beer Trad 30m Arapiles Average Sat 14th May 2022
The good bit felt quite short, but not too bad.

 
18 Tales of Brave Ulysses Trad 40m Arapiles Very Good Sun 20th Dec 2020
Very enjoyable, accessed via creon

 
18 Golden Echo Variant Trad 25m Arapiles Good Tue 8th Nov 2011
found this corner slightly more reachy than original

 
18 Ground Cummin Trad 18m Arapiles Good Sun 20th Dec 2020
Quite fun, easier than Hurts

 
18 Hurts Trad 18m Arapiles Very Good Sun 20th Dec 2020
Tricky start

 
18 Sweet Surrender Trad 60m Arapiles Very Good Tue 21st Feb 2017
Quite fun in parts

 
18 Entertainer Trad 20m Arapiles Classic Tue 2nd May 2006
I guess I ran it out on an Rp

 
18 Caligula Trad 60m Mount Buffalo Classic Tue 26th Feb 2019
Almost an offwidth for most of the way for me, but undervertical which made foot jams the way forward. Luxury with 4 #3s. A bit hot, an ice cream shop would be choice. One long pitch.

 
18 Fer De Lance Trad 25m Blue Mountains Good Sat 5th Jan 2008
Full of moths, but still pleasant.

 
18 Miles from Nowhere Trad 100m Moonarie Mega Classic Mon 7th Oct 2013
Led P1 and 2 together for 65m. Quite a tricky crux for 18!. Even the chimney above was kind of fun.

 
18 Dykes at the Docks Mixed trad 35m, 2 Killiecrankie Good Wed 24th Feb 2021
First climb on Flinders ( close to camp I guess)

 
18 High Stepping Stone Trad 45m Killiecrankie Good Wed 24th Feb 2021
The ground seems too close for the first half, then it gets suddenly airy. Gave myself bad rope drag

 
18 Simpleton Mixed trad 85m, 2 Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Classic Fri 28th May 2010
Led most of it except exit in 1 pitch . Stunning

 
18 Enterprise Trad 25m Barrenjoey Average Sat 1st Jul 2006
uninspiring

 
18 Marsupial Smearer Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Very Good Mon 3rd Nov 2003
over the block to finish

nice and traddie

 
18 Gold Star Trad 58m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 24th Sep 2017
Did about a decade ago with tony Williams, alt leads

 
18 Joslab Mixed trad 23m, 3 Blue Mountains Average Sun 3rd Sep 2017
One harder move with some slab splat potential if you go direct

 
18 Traverse of the Gods Mixed trad 52m, 3 Blue Mountains Average Tue 10th Sep 2013
A bit of a rope management effort

 
18 Sparrow Mixed trad 18m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Wed 31st Dec 2014
Would have been poorly protected with 1 bolt

 
18 Resonance Mixed trad 20m, 1 Blue Mountains Good Thu 25th Apr 2013
Tricky start. Feels similar to the 2 routes to the right in grade but at least hasnt been too retrobolted

 
18 Misjudgement Trad 27m Blue Mountains Average Fri 9th Apr 2010
fingers hurt to crimp anything harder today

 
18 Synchronicity Mixed trad 15m, 3 Blue Mountains Average Sat 10th Feb 2007
Some OK moves

18 Cloud Free Trad 9m Treatment Plant Good Sun 22nd Aug 2004

a bit of seepage unfortunately

 
18 Dopey Mick Trad 20m Tomaree Head Very Good Sat 23rd Dec 2006
dan ans John had chalked up all the holds

 
18 Visions Of A Transmitter Trad 45m Mt Ngungun Good Tue 27th Jul 2021
We had already done the DF as part of ensorcelled, so just did original. Can’t say I could find a lot of pro on the upper part, but the jugs make you just want to keep climbing. Pretty grimy.

 
18 Dogstyle Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Good Thu 27th Feb 2020
Quite hard for 18. Great range of styles and crack widths, though quite crumbly. Hadn’t read the updated description about a #5, as my #4 disappeared into the distance at the top

 
18 Humpty Dumpty Trad 30m Charleston Very Good Wed 12th Mar 2008
spent 10 minutes below the roof growing some balls!

 
18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 10th Apr 2004
did the hand traverse R hand start!

 
18 Skylark Direct Finish Trad 38m Arapiles Very Good Fri 22nd Apr 2011
a hidden gem, deserves stars

 
18 Good One Jono (POcketed crack) Trad 14m Bulahdelah Good Mon 9th Aug 2010
Not bad, but not araps

 
18 Swiss Connection Trad 20m Tomaree Head Good Sun 3rd Nov 2013
Rock a little flaky low down, but fun enough

 
18 Mega Trad 10m Arapiles Average Mon 23rd May 2022
Just do Hurts.

 
18 Bung Crack Trad 12m Wreck Beach Good Wed 15th Jan 2014
A lot of options, at 18 take the easiest

 
18 Crystal Enquiry Trad 15m Kinloch Average Wed 10th Oct 2018
Nice enough but needs more traffic to keep foliage at bay

 
18 Waiwera (Brolga DF) - with Luke Yerbury Trad 20m Arapiles Very Good Sun 15th May 2022
Kind of what I did as the rain storm was imminent

 
18 Far Away Places Trad 40m Killiecrankie Classic Thu 4th Mar 2021
Best done by climbing to the first ledge, bringing up belayer and then going to anchor from there. All the grades here feel stout. Chain belay and lower offs at top 35 m to ground

 
18 Riding the Quayle Mixed trad 130m, 2 Arapiles Good Tue 11th Sep 2018
We did the last 2 pitches of this. Maybe started up Tschard to get to the Belvedere. Not sure. First pitch had a good undercling move through bulge to an alcove at 40 m. Second pitch went up a rib to right then trended left up nice intermittent cracks to the right edge of the Belvedere. Overall felt 16ish.

 
18 Dummykins Trad 33m Kaputar Good Thu 7th Jun 2018
Not sure how this one escaped. Ground up, no preinspection, some shot put mid climb , but generally good rock, thankfully good small gear and a nice airy line

 
18 Thimble Trad 9m Arapiles Good Fri 7th Oct 2016
Fun little route. Lower off on ledge.

 
18 Pedestrian Crossing Mixed trad 30m, 7 Kaputar Average Fri 27th Jul 2018
I guess it's exposed. Dead tree start is not long for this world. Continued to top.

 
18 Harzweg Mixed trad 15m, 4 Sisters Beach Average Thu 23rd Feb 2023
Felt sketchy in the spooge

 
18 Well Hung Trad 27m Killiecrankie Good Wed 9th Mar 2022
Only a short tricky section. There is no abseil bolts as suggested in guides- we finished up the corner. There is a good threader 2 m back that would work with tat.

 
5.10a Yak-Check Trad 650m Yak Peak Classic Mon 21st Aug 2017
Did the climb in 4 hrs 15 min, simul climbing until pitch 8, then doing the rest in 4 pitches, and soloing off. Still a 7 hr + day with approach and 900m descent on ball bearings. Fun outing

 
5.10a New Wave Trad 80m Devils Tower National Monument Classic Sun 19th Jun 2005
with a thunderstorm brewing and a spectacular sunset, with Frank, farewell Devils Tower

 
5.10a Flying Circus Trad 25m Squamish Classic Thu 15th Jun 2017

5.10a Neat and Cool Trad 30m Squamish Very Good Thu 15th Jun 2017
Yay, steep jugs

 
5.10a Rock On Trad 140m Squamish Classic Thu 24th Aug 2017
Led1,2,4, rapped down. Great climb

 
5.10a Thin Slice Trad 30m City of Rocks Classic Tue 9th Sep 2014
Very nice crack, racing the impending storm. Off to Wyoming.

 
5.10a 5.10a R Paradise Lost Trad Yosemite National Park Good Mon 20th Oct 2014
Just first pitch which is 5.8 or so
