Lyse & Brastad Skälefjäll | ||||||
6 | ★★★ En liten bit granit — 2 attempts | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Led it placing the gear but had a rest below crux, not a good warm up. Repeated. Really nice moves
|
||||||
Sat 1st Jul 2023 - Watagans | ||||||
Monkey Face Middle Crag | ||||||
20 | ★★ Colour Card | 16m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Rpt.

Mon 23rd May 2022 - Arapiles | ||||||
Northern Group Kachoong Area | ||||||
23 | ★★ In Phase | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pretty pumped compared to top roping it, even without having to fiddle too much with gear.
|
||||||
Tue 17th May 2022 - Arapiles | ||||||
Central Gully Central Gully Left Moby Dick Pinnacle | ||||||
24 | ★★ Horrorscope | 16m | ★ Good | |||
Used the preplaced gear, though the red cam in the hand jam is probably better placed after getting to ledge. Most gear straight forward but the two crux bits feel fiddly.
|
||||||
Wed 11th May 2022 - Arapiles | ||||||
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Uncle Charlie | ||||||
24 | ★★ Nose Job | 30m | ★ Good | |||
Nice to get this off the list, coming back a second day with the beta fresh was worth it. Having the crux wire placed was good for the mind, the rest of the gear is quite straightforward.
|
||||||
Sat 9th Apr 2022 - Fortescue Bay | ||||||
The Moai | ||||||
20 | ★★ Blunt Instrument | 20m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Finally got back to figure out a way to reach the flake. Never used so many toe hooks on a grade 20 face route before. Desperate at 167 cm with negative ape. Harder than the 22 pitch.
|
||||||
Sun 19th Dec 2021 - Kaputar | ||||||
Lindsay Rock Tops Waterfall | ||||||
24 | ★★ The Prow - with but prettygood small to medium wires throughout and one old rusty bolt that needs replacing. | 20m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took a bit of cleaning. Unfortunately Robin and John’s bolts are within clipping distance in the lower half, though the crux and above is pure trad, mostly small to medium wires. The old single bolt needs replacing and anchors would be good. will add to the to do list. 23/24 maybe. It too k a number of tries to sort out
|
||||||
Wed 22nd Sep 2021 - Watagans | ||||||
Monkey Face The Ramparts | ||||||
21 | ★ Eastern Brown | 25m, 4 | ★ Good | |||

||||||
Tue 8th Jun 2021 - Coffs Harbour | ||||||
Glenreagh Wonderland Grab the Gristle Area | ||||||
19 | ★ Don't Chew The Fat | 10m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Good luck if you are short going straight up. ( hint for short, lay off the crack for a move to get to the break)
|
||||||
Wed 16th Dec 2020 - Arapiles | ||||||
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Uncle Charlie | ||||||
21 | Coming on Chris Direct Finish | 20m, 1 | Average | |||
Good luck if you are short at this grade. I had to mcdougall 50 cm left after going up to clip bolt. It would be a good route if at home.
|
||||||
Tue 4th Aug 2020 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
East of the access track | ||||||
20 | ★★ Egotistical Pineapple - with Heath Black | 14m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Team success. Pink pointed on Dave's gear. A RP burn will have to wait for next year. Pre habilitation time is over. It's been a great month.
|
||||||
Sun 17th Jun 2018 - Watagans | ||||||
Monkey Face Lower Crag | ||||||
20 | ★★ From Here to Eternity | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This would easily be a 22 at frog. Failed again on the redpoint and then quivered for an age before doing the loose mantle to exit. Needs anchors
|
||||||
Sun 18th Feb 2018 - Tomaree Head | ||||||
The Sundeck | ||||||
24 | ★★ Every which way but Can LH finish | 20m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | |||
On the last go of the day after changing sequence each time. Nice and technical and trickier than appearances
|
||||||
Sun 26th Feb 2017 - Onkaparinga | ||||||
Top Cliff Bacchus Sector | ||||||
20 | ★★ On the Rocks | 24m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Add about 4 grades if short, had to try the crux about 6 times before I could come up with a sequence that worked
|
||||||
Tue 21st Feb 2017 - Arapiles | ||||||
Far North PB Gully | ||||||
23 23 R | ★★ PB Direct Start | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Found this less reachy than PB, had the start protected
|
||||||
Sat 10th Dec 2016 - Tomaree Head | ||||||
The Sundeck | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Technocrat | 25m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Did it with second bolt clipped, and suddenly found I was through the crux, with only a light rack and no idea of the second half of the route. Took me a while to fight the anchor anxiety.
|
||||||
Tue 18th Oct 2016 - The Black Range | ||||||
Black Ian's Rocks | ||||||
25 | ★★ Persona Grata | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Sneaky rest day ascent. The heavens cleared and I climbed into the sunset. 3 rd shot overall. Much nicer out of the sun.
|
||||||
Sat 15th Oct 2016 - Arapiles | ||||||
King Rat Area King Rat Gully Skydiver Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★ Free Admission | 12m | ★ Good | |||

||||||
Tue 11th Oct 2016 - The Black Range | ||||||
Black Ian's Rocks | ||||||
25 | ★★ Sheep May Safely Graze | 25m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Placed several long slings and cleaned moss off top. Cool crimping and steep balancing to crimp dyno for me. Second go.
|
||||||
Fri 7th Oct 2016 - Arapiles | ||||||
Colosseum Wall Area Colosseum Wall | ||||||
21 | ★ Petronius | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Definitely done easier 22s at araps. Didn't have reach to place crucial wire to stop ground fall near start so called in Dave, but still took another go
|
||||||
Sun 6th Mar 2016 - Point Perpendicular | ||||||
Seaside Windjammer Wall | ||||||
24 | ★★★ Dirty Dancing | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Dave and I attempted ground up. Did second shot with the last 5 metres a mystery after coming down before then, though Fave had put last 3 pieces in
|
||||||
Mon 25th Jan 2016 - Arapiles | ||||||
Pilot Error Cliffs Baby Buttress | ||||||
18 | Tendrils | 15m | Average | |||
I think this was it but it felt more like V3. Humph was meant to be a quick warm up.
|
||||||
Sun 22nd Nov 2015 - Tomaree Head | ||||||
The Sundeck | ||||||
23 | ★★ Every which way but Loose | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Finally led it clean. Hold snapped on the redpoint, fortunately after I had clipped first bolt. Put a long sling on second bolt for second shot to make it sane. Somewhat runout otherwise.
|
