2023 | |||||
36 | Hump of Trouble
Start as for Sack of Woe, then left to very steep prow. Joins the last moves of Up Jumped the Devil. FA: Tom O'Halloran, Aug 2023 | 10m | Blue Mountains | ||
32 | ★★ Layin' Down Papers
Few meters right of Gravel Rash. Up steep scoop to base of roof. Bouldery through roof then head right to Assassins/Hashish final boulder. Bolted by Zac Vertrees. Ben Cossey has temp bolts going direct out the roof. Stay off them, they will not hold a climbing fall. FA: Tom O'Halloran, 8 May 2023 | Blue Mountains | |||
30 | So Now It Ends
Bouldery first half to break, followed by two hard dynos that probably favour a decent wingspan. Tom declined to grade this but climbed it in a couple of tries. Set: Lee Cujes, 2016 FA: Tom O'Halloran, 8 Jan 2023 | 17m | Blue Mountains | ||
2022 | |||||
26 - 28 | ★★★ Blind to Context
Incredible rock, incredible climbing and incredible position. Take plenty of draws (18ish), especially for pitch 2. Generously bolted (I think). Interested to hear what people think .
FA: Tom O'Halloran, 26 Sep 2022 | 170m, 6, 80 | Blue Mountains | ||
V12/13 | ★★★ Sweet Hot Contrivances
Start as 'The Sweetest Contrivances' then traverse left through the overhang to link into 'Drop It Like It's Hot'. Pumpy and hard. https://youtu.be/pwsiUx_U2mg?t=126 FA: Tom O'Halloran, 5 Jun 2022 | 7m | Copper Rocks | ||
29 | Thumbs Up
Steep grey wall among the trees 20m L of CDD. Take care on the loose shale above a big drop as you round the corner. Tom FA: Tom O'Halloran, May 2022 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
V13 | The Bear and the Piano
Start on the left hand sidepull and right hand crimp. FA: Tom O'Halloran, May 2022 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | |||
2021 | |||||
34 | ★★★ Little Baby Cheese
Extension of Cheese Gobbler that goes all the way to the top of the cliff via a whole bunch of hard independent climbing and then the top of The Big Cheese. Original vision by Robbie, new vision and execution by Tom. Set: Rob Lebreton FA: Tom O'Halloran, Jun 2021 | 35m | Nowra | ||
2020 | |||||
34 | ★★★ Hiding Vegetables (Linkup)
Beta Vinyl into Tiger Cat. All the cruxes and no rest, outrageous! Grade unconfirmed. FA: Tom O'Halloran, 2020 | 30m | Blue Mountains | ||
2018 | |||||
31 | ★★★ Love Vinyl (Linkup)
A similar linkup to Tiger Vinyl, but stays in Love Cats all the way to Beta Vinyl then takes Beta Vinyl to the top. Doing it this way avoids some of the zigging and zagging that TV has. FA: Tom O'Halloran, 2018 | 30m | Blue Mountains | ||
2015 | |||||
32 | ★★★ The Proposition
As for Chulahoma to ledge, then head further right under roof to next line of bolts. Funky climbing to make it through roof and around lip. Grade is a total guess. Tom was working moves and had no real sequence sorted. Went up for another working burn and just climbed the whole way through. He went back a few years later and couldn't figure out the sequence that worked and it all felt hard. FA: Tom O'Halloran, 17 Mar 2015 | Blue Mountains | |||
33 | ★★★ CatDog (Linkup)
Tiger Cat to the half way jugs then across right and finish as for Beta Vinyl. The Don't Believe the Hype of Elphinstone. FA: Tom O'Halloran, 2015 | 35m | Blue Mountains | ||
2013 | |||||
V13 | ★★★ And the Ass Saw the Angel
Sit-starts at bottom of dihedral and climbs to top of dihedral finish at juggy 2 finger and cod-mouth jug over lip - easier since a new foot sequence was discovered, compared to original crux-pounce that Tom did Sam Healy FA: & Tom O'Halloran, 2013 | Blue Mountains | |||
2012 | |||||
V9 | ★★★ Fortress of Solitude
Sit start on the arete with a lousy orange LH side pull, and RH pinching the arete. Up the arete initially before making hard moves right- finishing up improving holds- to end in the last good pocket in the roof where the holds completely run out. For a mega-proj, it is possible to swing back to the lip from the jugs in the roof, and the moves up the headwall go at insecure V3/4. FA: Tom O'Halloran, 2012 | Mt May | |||
Unknown year | |||||
33 | ★★★ Cheesecake
| Nowra | |||
30 | ★ Bullseye
Start as for Dumbo Love then left over top of scoop. Punchy crux then nice low angle climbing to the top. Crux punch may be morpho, 5'8" and under it could be very hard. 6ft it's hard. 6'3" could be easy. Hard to grade. 29-31? FA: Tom O'Halloran | 30m | Blue Mountains | ||
33 | Sack of Woe
4m right of Up Jumped the Devil. Climbs straight up. Nowhere to hide on this. One of the best bouldery routes in the mountains. New sequence makes it a bit easier than the FA beta. FA: Tom O'Halloran | 10m | Blue Mountains | ||
32 | ★★★ Chulahoma Bootleg
Start at prow through ferns. Up steep, right trending climbing to ledge (27 to here). Then blast out big holds and big moves in roof to a jumpy crux at lip (careful with belay). Then climb to top of the cliff. FA: Tom O'Halloran Set: Vince Day | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
26 | ★ Dumbo Love
Start on the right side of the bowl and climb up and into the corner above. A trady feeling pitch. FFA: Tom O'Halloran Set: Rowan Druce, 2012 | 15m | Blue Mountains |
