Repeat. Great fun and one of my old favorites. Funky face climbing on gear. I found it a little harder then I remrmbered it but I was my first route of the day.

20 | ★★★ Rickety Kate | 15m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Mon 4th Jan 2016 | |||
Awesome route that I was strangely nervous about. Hard but happy.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Egotistical Pineapple (Egotistical Pinapple) | 14m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Tue 27th Aug 2013 | |||
Repeat. I thought this would be a great way to finish a great day.... All passive gear send, that's a great idea..
Felt like the hardest I climbed all day, the gear was bomber but I really wanted some cam's to soothe my nerves.

20 | ★★★ Odin | 30m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Wed 6th Jan 2016 | |||
I have long wanted to climb this and it didn't disappoint. A great adventure made better when I ran out of gear and had to make it or break it up the last bomber hand jamb section.

20 | ★★★ Six Days on the Toad | 28m | Evans Crown | ★★★ Classic | Sat 14th Apr 2012 | |||
Found this nails, 22 at least. Massive run out at the top.
Very gripping climbing but so good.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Quo Vadis | 33m, 1 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 6th Jul 2013 | |||
Hard start and sustained moves with some sketchy feet. A bit of a rope a gear stretch when linked with SDS.
Wicked view from the top of the bluffs.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Thunder Crack | 30m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 17th Sep 2023 | |||
One off the life list. A great challenge in a wild position. Must do.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Wasp | 30m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sat 10th May 2014 | |||
Hidden gem, good varied crack climb with bomber gear. Having a lower off at the top is a massive plus for us time poor sport climbers.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ The Phoenix (Phoenix ) | 45m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 29th Dec 2008 | |||
I am not sure when I climbed this but I do remember it was a bit of an epic and lots of fun. We started up the finger crack to the left.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Tenere | 28m | Point Perpendicular | ★★★ Classic | Sun 7th Oct 2012 | |||
A real crack climb, pretty hard up top but super fun if you can jamb.
Would have been a good idea to tape.
If you think this is a bit stiff check who climbed the first ascension
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Atomic Tadpole | 40m | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★ Very Good | Thu 7th May 2015 | |||
A great long pitch to say you have climbed on taipan. Good gear the whole way with a bomber wire on the last head wall protecting the tricky and reachy finish.
|

20 | ★★★ Twentieth Century Fox | 50m | Victoria Range | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 5th May 2014 | |||
The sun came out
I have seen photos of this route for years so it was super to finally get a chance to pull on. A climb of many styles that is hard for the grade but well worth the effort. The top slab….
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Ben Trovato | 150m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 22nd Apr 2012 | |||
Just the first pitch.
Stella climbing and easy for 20.
You could do the whole pitch on large and med wires.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Say Cheese for High n Wild | 36m, 2 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 16th Nov 2014 | |||
Good long trad wall with only two carrots. Started up this just as the rain rolled in but thankfully it only sprinkled. Got a bit scared on the run-out middle section when I couldn't find any worthwhile gear. Glad the climbing is easy.
|

20 | ★ Old Dog New Tricks | 23m, 6 | New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ★ Good | Wed 31st Jul 2013 | |||
Worth bringing a rack to panther for one route...
The crack section was good and passing the birds nests wasn't that bad but the top face climbing was very dirty and crunchy. 3 Camelot would of helped down low.

20 | ★ Ricochet Rabbit | 28m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Tue 16th Jul 2013 | |||
Back in the bluies Yo!!! Nice to be back
The crux of this interesting warm up was by far trusting blue mountains choss again.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Cosmed | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 16th Sep 2012 | |||
A quick little send with Paul's shoes. A couple of thumb locks and crimps and it's over. It's not 20 if you face climb the sh*t out of it.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Barton's Effort | 35m, 8 | Wolgan Valley | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th Aug 2018 | |||
Tuff warm up, I can tell I haven't climbed many slabs recently cause this felt hard. Great fun though.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ TDM | 35m | Wolgan Valley | ★★★ Classic | Sat 18th Aug 2018 | |||
Placing gear but with chalk all over it I can't claim an onsight. I think this is better, harder and longer then tranzister. Great rock on this one.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Kingdom Come | 45m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Thu 21st Sep 2023 | |||
Lap on simo’s gear. He made it look 24 but turns out it is 20 and good chimney practice.
Up to the lower off.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Maxwell's Demon | 20m | Victoria Range | ★ Good | Tue 6th May 2014 | |||
Warming up for the big show, trickier then it looks from the ground. The second half will make this a better longer warm up once dot adds a new anchor.

20 | ★★ Khe Sanh | 25m, 6 | Wolgan Valley | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Aug 2018 | |||
Past tick
Really fun slab.

20 | ★★★ Solomon | 51m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 28th Apr 2012 | |||
Nice to get rid of this old dog. Awesome steep hand crack, best 20 at piddo!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Mindblower | 20m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Aug 2012 | |||
Repeat.
Love this climb, such a great example of tech face climbing with fingers lock for fun.

20 | ★ Inspiration Crack | 110m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 4th Jan 2019 | |||
If you avoid the first pitch and rap to the carrots at the start of the second then this route is pretty rad multi. The rock isn’t as bad as I had expected, the moves are fun, the gear is good (takes hex’s and 2x #3, #4) the biggest downfall for me is the approach from the lookout is pretty horrible Bush bash but it’s short.

20 | ★ Torrential | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 3rd Mar 2012 | |||
Funky roofy trad that is fully dry on a wet day, a rare thing in the blue mountains.
The rock is a lot better then it looks.

20 | Oranges and Lemons | 65m | Blue Mountains | Average | Sun 9th Sep 2012 | |||
Well its got all the elements blue mountains trad climbing.
