Mon 27th May 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Boycetown
	26	★★★ Beastie Boyce	Sport 30m	★★★ Classic
A monsterous quest involving many gambles. Quite fun and definitely memorable. I fell off half a meter below the anchor, after choosing to go the wrong way which was unfortunately very tick marked, very sad emoji. Beta for the top available on request I brushed those ticks off on the lower off.

The Gorge - North Side North Wall
	28	Crack glove ★★★ Ozymandias (free version) - with Lee Cujes 1 23 25 Trad lead by Aaron Jones, Lee Cujes A couple of meters of nice slab climbing before degrading into moist mank. 2 28 52 Trad lead by Lee Cujes, Aaron Jones The most spectacular, beautiful and intimidating corner soaring up to infinity and beyond. We both sent it first shot on lead, after an hour or so on TR solo the day before. The best beta I've heard for this pitch is "if you find yourself pulling hard, you're not stemming well enough". 3 25 30 Aid This was soaked, we jugged passed it unfortunately. 4 24 35 Trad lead by Aaron Jones Sketchy stemming for about 5m, then the gear improves and it backs off and becomes more enjoyable to the awkward hanging belay. 5 22 30 Second lead by Lee Cujes A stunning, sustained finger sized corner, with the jambs becoming more pleasing the higher one gets. This one combined with the crux pitch must be 2 of the best single pitches of granite in Oz. 6 22 35 Trad lead by Aaron Jones Old skool grunge involving most sizes of crack. Thoroughly enjoyable...after the event. Watch the drag. 7 19 15 Second lead by Lee Cujes Sweet airy traversing, with a spot of tree climbing thrown in for good measure (sorry tree). Glad to have converted to the dark side and donned crack gloves for this one. 8 14 20 Trad lead by Aaron Jones End rock climbing. Commence canyoning. But how do you get off the ledge?! 9 10 25 Second lead by Lee Cujes Joyous canyoning.	Trad 270m	★★★ Mega Classic
A long term goal fulfilled '*'. It took many years to gather the grit to commit to this one. Due to weather we only had 2 and a half days on the route. This reduced the pressure somewhat, because the scale of the thing felt insurmountable. Knowing how my brain works, this is probably is the reason it came together. Unfortunately pitch 3 was soaking wet and unclimbable, boo.

	27	★★★ The Enforcer - with Jacques Beaudoin, Heath Black	Sport 36m	★★★ Classic
A spectacular journey. The chossy band at the start is fine, and the rock above the first rooflet is just stunning. Took one fall on the first long left deadpoint. Happy to onsight the rest of it, which took some grunting and whimpering on the slimpers.
	27	★★ Kaizen - with Jacques Beaudoin, Heath Black	Sport 38m	★★★ Classic

Deserves 2 stars - similar style to the rest of the routes on the wall. The pick of the exit routes IMO. With lots of extendo draws, rope drag wasn't an issue.

Wow wee, this one was memorable, so pumpy just because of the position it's in. The lower admin option is to top out, and it would be great to have another bolt and a belay to facilitate this. thanks to the effort of the first ascentionists installing the infrastructure! Get on it!

	27	★★★ Mind Arthritis - with Lee Cujes	Sport 25m, 5	★★★ Classic
Wonderful Bluies style crimpfest in a stunning location. Looks less imposing from the belay than from the ground. The top runout is silly and can be protected with a small cam. 5th shot over 2 days.

Perhaps a little too much 'value' for an effective warm up.
	27	★★ Headshot - with Will Monks	Sport 17m, 7	★★ Very Good
Somehow managed to bluff my way through the first bouldery section then dig deep for the rest of it. Great route. Thanks for the beta spray Will Full disclosure - the second draw was clipped because it was meant to be an exploratory lap.

	29	★★★ Self Portrait — 2 attempts	Sport 30m	★★★ Mega Classic
Opened the account What a wonderful route - the position, sequences, stone and location. All moves felt ok, linkage fitness not so much. 2nd shot went through to the top throw of the thin flake sequence. The beta at the top is going to need to be well locked in on the send!!

A worthwhile arete in a prominent position. Nothing too hard, just abit committing with your rope running around the arete. Would be worth considering twin ropes.
