Fri 21st Jul 2023 - Bohuslän
Lyse & Brastad Skälefjäll
6 En liten bit granit — 2 attempts Trad 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 Mixed trad 16m, 2 Very Good
Rpt.

 
Mon 23rd May 2022 - Arapiles
Northern Group Kachoong Area
23 In Phase Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Mixed trad 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. Mixed trad 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 Mixed trad 25m, 4 Good
Rpt on lead after the rebolt , Dave had placed the cams

 
Tue 8th Jun 2021 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Wonderland Grab the Gristle Area
19 Don't Chew The Fat Mixed trad 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 Mixed trad 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.

20 Egotistical Pineapple - with Heath Black Trad 14m Very Good
Did on Montys gear with a bit of a supplement. Previously seconded.

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 Trad 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 Mixed trad 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 Mixed trad 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 Trad 25m Very Good
Found this less reachy than PB, had the start protected

 
Sat 10th Dec 2016 - Tomaree Head
The Sundeck
25 Technocrat Mixed trad 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 Mixed trad 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 Trad 12m Good
Fell off placing gear at crux. It's a long reach. Second go.

 
Tue 11th Oct 2016 - The Black Range
Black Ian's Rocks
25 Sheep May Safely Graze Mixed trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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 Trad 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.

 
Sat 13th Jun 2015 - Watagans
Monkey Face Middle Crag
19 Int-Arete-Sting Mixed trad 6m, 1 Average
