23 Despatched Mixed trad 40m, 2 Arapiles Classic Sun 17th Sep 2023
What a route, full commit fun. Got lucky in a few spots and very pumped by the end of the traverse. Good gear in all the right spots just wish there was move of it

 
23 Birdman of Alcatraz Trad 30m Arapiles Classic Fri 8th May 2015
Nice to tick off another araps Classic. Not that hard but super fun at the grade with great gear and a awesome mix of styles and climbing. I found the last layback section the hardest.

 
23 High Dive Trad 25m Arapiles Very Good Fri 22nd Sep 2023
Super last route of the trip. Steep trad. Collected 68 stars on 31 routes in 7 days

 
23 The Seventh Banana Pitch 1 Trad 20m Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Classic Tue 9th Jul 2013
The last pitch of my grampians trip, sent in the setting sun on one of the best walls in the world. Plus the climb is very good as well, good times.

 
23 Pocket Full of Dreams Mixed trad 25m, 2 Victoria Range Classic Mon 5th May 2014
Very good line and I am very glad the the first bolt has been replaced. Its all about trust in your rubber on the start the trust in your hands on the damp holds at the top of the run out.

 
23 Variance Mixed trad 18m, 4 Victoria Range Very Good Tue 5th May 2015
Sadly not as good as I was hoping Some cool moves for sure and great rock but it kind of cuts left when the going gets tuff.

 
23 Mr Siegel Mixed trad 18m, 6 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 27th Dec 2014
Sweet climb with many funky moves and cool holds. The start move to a pocket is tricky and would be pretty hard for the short. The rest of the route is a great mix of styles and rest holds. Save some gas for the top. Worth bringing a couple of cams down for sure.

 
23 Give a Dog a Bone Trad 20m Bare Rock Very Good Fri 9th Jan 2015
Just like an arapiles steep trad gully grovel but in all the best ways. The steep groove start kept trying to spit me out but like a tick I dug in and up to easier ground up and left. Great layback finish with bomber gear.

 
23 ~22 Intransience Trad 25m Arapiles Very Good Tue 19th Sep 2023
No pressure lap on Paul’s gear. Fun enough with plenty of run up top but over good gear. Would be 21 at Shipley with bolts

 
23 Infant Terror Mixed trad 45m, 16 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 16th Nov 2014
45 metres of pumpy orange goodness. Andy onsighted the full climb then lowered back the the top of the first pitch. I second the first pitch with some wild and hard traverse moves then keep plugging to flash top pitch. Pretty dang pumped at the cliff top. Windy!!

 
23 Gentlemens Drag (Gentleman's Drag) Trad 28m Blue Mountains Classic Tue 19th Aug 2008
Found the knee bar Thom missed on the onsite. No to hard but good climbing.

 
23 Diminishing Returns (Top Half) Mixed trad 30m, 5 Victoria Range Classic Tue 6th May 2014
Super, reminded me of some of the first pitch routes on taipan. A great find Kent. Linking unlikely pockets on great rock.

 
23 Spoilt Mercy (Link-up) Mixed trad 32m, 10 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 21st Mar 2020
Another great route on this wall but a touch more pumper then I would have liked for a warm up. Has a taipan feel about it after the crimp traverse.

 
23 Incensed Mixed trad 15m, 3 The Rock Very Good Sun 1st Jan 2017
Back dated

Got all hot and bothered on my first shot, cleaned it up second. Climbs better then it looks and is really good fun. It was a bit tricky to fine the holds the first time.

 
23 A1 25 Screaming Tribesman Mixed trad 280m, 1 Bungonia Gorge Good Sat 26th Jul 2014
We attempted the top 3 pitches after climbing iron curtain. Onsighted the sweet but very pumpy 23 trad pitch. Paul gave the 25 pitch a solid crack but was shut down by dirty rock and it went down hill from there. This pitch could be good with a good scrub. Got lost all most linking the next two pitches to the top. Very scary and dirty slabs to the top. Would be great with a scrub but with mostly interesting and average gear I was terrified.

 
23 I've Heard It All Before Mixed trad 230m, 99 Mount Brown Main Face Very Good Mon 5th Jan 2015
Big wall'in on a big sea cliff. Pay close attention to the rap description, as andy and myself got off line and a rope stuck. Poor andy had to prussic 40 odd metres to free the rope and a big swing by myself to get back on line.

We did the 20 start with a wild and memorable belay 3m above the surging sea. Make sure you climb left on the second pitch.. The two hard pitches up top are great fun with the 23 crux crack boulder problem awesome fun.

 
23 Walking Wounded Mixed trad 20m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 11th Aug 2012
Repeat. EOD send to clean the draws off. Bomber climbing and solid at 23. Bring a #3 camalot for the bottom.

 
23 Static Mixed trad 35m, 8 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 5th Oct 2013
Good to finally get back to lead this tuff corner. Paul made it look easy, I still found it hard. Great stemming corner with such good rock and a great slab seam up the top.

 
23 Tough Titties Mixed trad 20m, 3 Arapiles Good Mon 1st Jul 2013
23 my ass this thing was nails!! And sharp!
