	25	★★★ The Bridge to Total Freedom - with Heath Black 1 22 20 Trad Amazing flake feature into total desparation on the delicate lichenous slab above. 2 23 35 Second Very cool slabbing with a hard crux high step. 3 19 20 Trad Absorbing adventure up incipient cracks in the slab. 4 22 28 Second 5 24 35 Trad Awesome fun start section, then cool pockety climbing into a crux sequence towards the end. Fell at crux and had a rest on the #3 camalot above. Feet were sooo sore at the end of this pitch. 6 22 25 Second Really good. Best approached as an Araps style trad pitch with a couple of bonus bolts thrown in. Had to sit on a piece to retrive a well overcammed camalot. 7 25 30 Trad Gob smacking position and stellar climbing up the tufa system. Stuck the span into the big grey tufa onsight, then it became a fine A0 ascent from there.	Mixed trad 190m, 48	Bungonia Gorge		Fri 25th Nov 2022
A spectacular day out. An absolutely brilliant route blasting directly up the wall.
	25	★★★ Samarkand - with Lee Cujes 1 21 2 25 3 23 4 22 5 22	Trad 150m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 29th Dec 2018
A stellar route and quite achievable at the grade. Much less intimidating than the reputation that surrounds it. Solid gear and the carrots were "passable". Led pitches 1, 3 and 5 with Lee cruising pitch 2 and 4. A super duper fun day with no falls. Would take a triples of 0.5, 0.75 and 1" camalot next time. #3 camalot optional and definitely don't need a #4.
	25 ~24	★★ The Racer's Edge Direct Finish - with Heath Black	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Sep 2023
A cool iron stone flake feature running up the arete. A couple of crux crimps turn into nice little sequence and then the route backs off into an enjoyable Mountains arete.
	25	★★★ Echo Crack - with Lee Cujes 1 Trad 2 Second 3 Trad 4 Second	Trad 190m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 9th Mar 2024
The line is unquestionably primo. The climbing itself was like questing up a slimey waterslide at Raging Waters. I slowly greased out of a right jam on the crux transition a couple of times before pulling the rope and sending it. Crack gloves next time A memorable ascent, although I might wait for a couple of seasons of glorious El Niño conditions before repeating this one.
