My fave 7b+ at Rodellar. Take a R kneebar pad
|

26 | ★★ Chook Raffle - with Sammi | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 10th Feb 2019 | |||
Surprisingly good. Pleased to onsight as a couple of moves were a bit of a gamble. #sodelighted
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ He-Man - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 14th Sep 2018 | |||
Nice steep pumper.
|

26 | ★★ Easy Fit - with Sammi, Chris Beric, ross ferguson | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 28th Dec 2016 | |||
Skin of my teeth!
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Over the Moon | 30m | 阳朔 Yangshuo | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 19th Dec 2010 | |||
The best route of this style I have ever done. Tufas, holes you can get in, handlebars, a hidden bottle of vodka. 10 stars. Thank you JJ.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ El sici | 20m | Rodellar | ★★ Very Good | Thu 9th Sep 2010 | |||
Pulpit continuousness
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Pince Sans Rire | 30m | Rodellar | ★★★ Classic | Wed 15th Sep 2010 | |||
Endless tufa pulling. Runout, fearful.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ This Spurting Life - with Sammi | 12m, 3 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★ Very Good | Wed 3rd Apr 2019 | |||
Description says 'soft tick if you can crimp'. Well, I certainly avoided crimping! Liked this more than I anticipated.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Bare Essentials - with Sammi | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 15th Oct 2016 | |||
That went well.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Grand Junction - with Sammi | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 18th Aug 2019 | |||
Pretty steady going with one decent runout. Liked it.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Supercallousfragileextradosage - with Ross | 25m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Fri 4th Jan 2013 | |||
Yesss! Very happy. Pure desperation throw and latch on the crux. Lucky.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Inti Raymi | 35m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sun 9th May 2010 | |||
Went up and down at the top before 'starfishing' through. Solid 7b+ I reckon.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Fourtouna | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Mon 12th Apr 2010 | |||
Really awesome long and gamblish.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ St Savvas (St. Savas) | 18m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sat 12th Nov 2011 | |||
Again, nearly all jugs. Felt I climbed this really well. Could be easier than Houfta?
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Kalinycta Mer | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Mon 10th May 2010 | |||
Super exhausted just going into this. Managed to gamble and win. Killer day!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Spartacus Maximus | 45m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Thu 27th Oct 2011 | |||
Closer to onsight than flash. Clips were in, I saw a french guy up there but I had no beta. 45m mega pitch.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Beta | 35m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sun 2nd Oct 2011 | |||
Quick sneaky ascent amidst the coaching. NOT a warmup.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Tufantastic | 40m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Wed 7th Apr 2010 | |||
Definitely worth going for the onsight. Trella's big brother.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Mind Boggle | 30m, 16 | Kalymnos | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 5th Dec 2007 | |||
Lunge, delicate wall, tufa clasping, hold broke 1 move from top, this route had it all!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Themelina | 18m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Tue 8th Jun 2010 | |||
Wetness. Nearly off.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Tufa King Pumped | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sun 2nd Nov 2008 | |||
Aptly named. The guide is in error - don't do the 'extension', it's just 5m of easy slab crap. The bolts need removing.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Mira que Tinc - with Sammi | 20m, 6 | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Thu 15th Oct 2015 | |||
Steep, steady going on perfect pockets to a confounding blank section. I just dynoed, and stuck it. Cruised onwards to glory.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ I Am Not A Philistine - with Sammi | Rifle Mountain Park | ★★★ Classic | Mon 5th Aug 2019 | ||||
Cleaned up after failed OS attempt last year. Felt very hard! OS from bolt 5 to the top. [2]
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Hang 'em High | Rifle Mountain Park | Sun 11th Jul 2010 | |||||
Yeah, I missed the secret kneebar and was pumped off my dial.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Promise (The Promise) | Rifle Mountain Park | ★★★ Classic | Mon 23rd Aug 2010 | ||||
13 clips, skull in hole. Awesome.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Mule - with Sammi | 27m | Red River Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sat 29th Sep 2018 | |||
Adventuresome and long. Felt easier than the shorter more popular 12s.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Herd Mentality - with Sam and Duncan | 21m, 8 | Red River Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Wed 10th Oct 2012 | |||
Short section of crimping but not really as hard as Blue Eyed Honkey Jesus.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Cobble in the Sky | 30m | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Thu 22nd Jul 2010 | |||
Only just managed OS. Amazing easy upper wall. LONG!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ The Shield | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sat 5th Jun 2010 | |||
Super punchy vertical wall. A real climb!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ The Craic | 36m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Thu 10th Oct 2013 | |||
Nice jetlagged first day ascent. Great line.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★ Hooked On Estrogen | Maple Canyon | ★ Good | Wed 21st Jul 2010 | ||||
Hard and bit contrived
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Just Put It In | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Wed 25th Aug 2010 | ||||
Ticked the wall OS
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★ Ethan Screams | Maple Canyon | ★ Good | Wed 25th Aug 2010 | ||||
Just OS, cutting loose on two giant bosoms
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Predator | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Fri 12th Aug 2016 | ||||
Last time I came to Maple, Pipeline routes were the hardest. I had to give everything to get up one of these 5-bolt burly things, yet I could happily plod up harder 20-bolt pumpers without any trouble. Since moving to the Blue Mountains the situation for me is utterly reversed.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Golden Boy | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Fri 12th Aug 2016 | ||||
Completing the trilogy of 12c onsights at Pipeline. Cool!
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Deliverance | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Thu 26th Aug 2010 | ||||
With Azza and Gareth
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Orgasmo | Maple Canyon | ★★★ Classic | Sat 24th Jul 2010 | ||||
Endurance pumper, softened by careful knee application.
|
||||||||
26 | ★ Amp Hour - with Sammi, jjobrien | 10m | Blue Mountains | Average | Fri 6th Nov 2015 | |||
Not the best thing around. A bit contrived at the top and impacted by routes crossing it.
|
||||||||
26 | ★ A Rover in Time Extension - with Moritz | 30m, 16 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 28th Nov 2015 | |||
A few crimps to go at with gusto. Finishes at the highest point on the wall.
|
||||||||
26 | ★ Lovable Rogue - with Rob Saunders | 14m | Blue Mountains | Average | Sun 20th Nov 2016 | |||
Obscure roof. Stoked to onsight in horrible conditions.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Does My Bum Look Big On This? - with ross ferguson, chris coghill | 12m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 16th Jan 2016 | |||
Used nearly every weird trick in the book on the start roof. Probably looked hideous, but didn't fall.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Route 69 | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Mon 14th Oct 2013 | |||
Be prepared for some sloper action on the crux!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Uschana Ext (Uschana Extension) | 45m, 23 | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Tue 18th Oct 2011 | |||
Hardest onsight fight in ages. 45m pitch, epic. 23 clips, I had 18 draws.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Sadomastication - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 67m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 28th Aug 2016 | |||
PSYCHED OFF MY DIAL!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Derribos Arias | Terradets | ★★ Very Good | Fri 15th Nov 2013 | ||||
Happy to come away with this today.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ The Crucible | 24m, 9 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Thu 11th Oct 2012 | |||
Another super steepy in Midnight Surf. Love the surf! Righteous!
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Mirage | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Tue 2nd Oct 2012 | ||||
Wowee! Wet holds, and I just stabbed through the crimps with zero hesitation, only barely sticking each one.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Blood Bath - with Sam | 15m, 6 | Red River Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sun 7th Oct 2012 | |||
Did some rotations through the roof!
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ Where's The Beef? - with Sam | 15m, 5 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 7th Oct 2012 | |||
One hand clip on the lip. And a sneaky kneebar.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Mosaic | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Wed 17th Oct 2012 | ||||
Thumper pocket pumper.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Long white line - with Sam | 35m | San Vito lo Capo | ★★ Very Good | Thu 9th Oct 2014 | |||
Mostly fairly easy, until suddenly it's not and you're waaaay runout. 15m falls maybe? Lots of air up there.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Balu Yoghi e Bubu (Balu Yohi e Bubu) - with Sam | 25m | San Vito lo Capo | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 26th Sep 2014 | |||
Super psyched! Best route I have done here so far. Long, blobs, kneebars, roof. Big runouts.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Archeotalpa - with Sam | 19m, 10 | San Vito lo Capo | ★★ Very Good | Fri 26th Sep 2014 | |||
Deepest and steepest in the cave. Lots of stalactites with a punchy boulder finish.
|
||||||||
7b+ Easy | ★★★ Triton - with Sammi, Owen Gervasoni | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Wed 15th Nov 2023 | |||
Onsighted something! Shock! Kieran's recommendation - surprised I hadn't done this earlier.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Morgan | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Wed 9th Jun 2010 | |||
as part of linkup into Adam. 7c+ total. This was 7c in its own right, which I reckon is fair. Solid at 7b+.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Body Buldeuse - with Sammi | 20m | Kalymnos | Don't Bother | Fri 9th Oct 2015 | |||
The dirtiest route in Kalymnos? Anything not 45 degrees overhung was covered in dirt and choss. Where's my blower?!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Howl Lala - with jjobrien, Sammi | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Wed 23rd Sep 2015 | |||
My assessment of "hard for a few bolts, then a 6a slab to the top" didn't match reality. This was on from start to finish. Big fight.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Early Bird - with Sammi | 28m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Sat 17th Oct 2015 | |||
Super big fight. Did this crazy mantle to find ... no holds. Nothing. Was pawing on the rock like Stevie Wonder searching for the remote. Don't know how I managed to stay on. Replaced the anchor as well, which will shortly be going on climbkalymnos.com's new route maintenance database I built for them.
|
||||||||
26 | Garm - with Duncan | 40m, 18 | Urbenville | ★ Good | Sun 22nd Jun 2014 | |||
Thought this was 25 as well. Really hard to know with these routes. They're all similar.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Three Hour Commute Direct - with Sammi, Emil Mandyczewsky | 17m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 2nd Jan 2016 | |||
Holy shit, that was as close as it gets! Geez!!
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Dichotomy - with Scott Boladeras, Emil Mandyczewsky | 28m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 22nd Jan 2017 | |||
One fricken hard move in the first bit! Did the full version through the roof.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ False Prophet (aka Neighbour of Doom) (New Climb??) - with Emil Mandyczewsky, chris coghill | 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 13th Aug 2017 | |||
Bouldery ceiling start move. Overall quite good.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Jackknifed - with Sammi | 30m, 15 | Maple Canyon | ★★★ Classic | Fri 11th Aug 2023 | |||
Tricky middle section.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★ Electron Blue - with Sammi | Maple Canyon | ★ Good | Mon 7th Aug 2023 | ||||
Good, but probably a bit squeezed in, sharing some holds with the route on the right.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Vertical Smile | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Wed 10th Aug 2016 | ||||
Progressively harder all the way to the chains. Awesome.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Mystère et Boule de Gomme Ext - with Sammi | 35m, 17 | Leonidio | ★★★ Classic | Sat 19th Nov 2022 | |||
Pretty much a joy to climb.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Chronologio (ΧΡΟΝΟΛΟΓΙΟ) - with Sammi | 30m, 15 | Leonidio | ★★ Very Good | Fri 15th Nov 2019 | |||
The biggest baddest tufa you can see from miles away. Imposing! Soooo frustrating it has a line of bolts up either side of it (with both 'routes' climbing the same moves!). Would be completely classic otherwise.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Terra Nullius Extension | 35m, 19 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 30th Apr 2017 | |||
Adventurousy. I was nearly off. Could be 26 I reckon.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Medousa Ext - with Sammi | 28m, 18 | Leonidio | ★★★ Classic | Fri 3rd Nov 2017 | |||
Nearly megaclassic due to the amazing dripping candlewax tufa pipes. You only see this on a few, rare routes on this planet. As for the climbing, a bit glassy and slippery, and hard to read. I fought super hard, throwing out my back in the process. Worth it.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Sunburst - with Sammi | 30m | Kyparissi | ★★★ Classic | Thu 24th Nov 2022 | |||
Bit of a gamble on the crux, easy to bobble it I reckon. Chuck and hope. Top slab was unwelcome
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Fapanese Direct - with Sammi, Rob Saunders, Stephen Hawkshaw, Lee McDougall | Boulder | ★★ Very Good | Tue 31st Jul 2018 | ||||
Of course I go for the one roof with a kneebar.
|
||||||||
7b+ Easy | ★★ Aggressionskontrolle - with Sammi | 25m | Leonidio | ★★ Very Good | Thu 17th Nov 2022 | |||
Tufas, then tiny pockets. A good one for onsighting.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Manic Street Preachers - with Sammi | 16m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Thu 3rd Nov 2022 | |||
Bit harder than it looks from the ground.
|
||||||||
5.12c | ★★ The Butterfly Effect - with Sammi | 25m | Rifle Mountain Park | ★★ Very Good | Mon 5th Aug 2019 | |||
Definitely had to work for it. The top crux is ... well, I won't ruin it. But you better stretch your groin.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Koukouvagia - with Sammi | 12m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Thu 9th Nov 2023 | |||
Super steep. Plenty of kneebars. Ace.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ pasoclave.com - with Sammi | 40m, 17 | Leonidio | ★★ Very Good | Sat 19th Nov 2022 | |||
Well on the way to ticking the sector. Confusing up top as advertised. Recommend studying the topo before setting off. Or, why not, take it with you.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Harry Hole - with Sammi | 45m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Mon 30th Oct 2023 | |||
Big feature climbing up the mega-corner visible from Telendos! Rad.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ To Kynigi Tou Chronou - with Sammi | 20m | Vrysi | ★★ Very Good | Mon 17th Oct 2022 | |||
Two hard sections. Bone it to own it.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Eptaoro - with Sammi | 35m | Vrysi | ★★★ Classic | Mon 17th Oct 2022 | |||
Mega! 35m through the big roof with monster holes and stalactites. Like an easier version of Fun de Chichunne. What's not to like? Was a bit hard to decipher where to go up high but I managed to fluke it. Certainly will never be downgraded. Lowered off on dusk. Connies are ON!
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Climbers Village - with Sammi | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Thu 27th Oct 2022 | |||
Tufa fest followed by face climbing that is less onerous than it looks from the ground. Grade may settle.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ Griffology - with Sammi | 25m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Mon 24th Oct 2022 | |||
This would be amazing if it were the only route on the wall. But it’s just too close to the neighbouring route. Sharing holds is not okay.
|
||||||||
26 25 | ★★ Codeine (Codein) | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 27th Dec 2008 | |||
Coupla hard pulls.
|
||||||||
7b+ 7b | ★★ Canita brava | 20m | Rodellar | ★★ Very Good | Mon 25th Oct 2010 | |||
Alex's proj. Gear on. Big moves, big holds. My style.

7b+ 7b | ★★★ Rastapopoulos Ext (Rastapopoulos extended) | 40m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sat 1st Dec 2007 | |||
Just getting through the 6c+ first pitch was a relief. I'll take it as my second 26 onsight.
|
||||||||
7b+ 7b | ★★★ Lulu in the Sky | 40m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 29th Mar 2010 | |||
40m mega-pitch, borrowed rope from Simon

26 25 | ★★ Full Contact | 27m, 12 | Mt Ninderry | ★ Good | Thu 12th Jan 2012 | |||
A lot of up and down figuring out the cave. Patience pays off. Second ascent.
|
||||||||
7b+ 7b | ★★★ All cats are black at night - with Sam | 20m | San Vito lo Capo | ★★★ Classic | Mon 29th Sep 2014 | |||
Perfect onsight route - very readable. Steep and fairly juggy. E got some good photos.
|
||||||||
7b+ 7b | ★★★ Bonobo - with Sammi, Emil Mandyczewsky | 22m | Leonidio | ★★ Very Good | Sun 5th Nov 2017 | |||
Super tufa action. Did the hard/stupid version up the face in the middle with onsight goggles on and was brick pumped.
|
||||||||
7b+ 7b/b+ | ★★★ Buddha's Eyes - with Sammi | 55m, 23 | Leonidio | ★★ Very Good | Thu 10th Nov 2022 | |||
A couple of pretty droppable moves on weird mini-tufa underclings and a cruxy clip. Took its pound of flesh from most suitors today.
|
||||||||
7b+ 7c | ★★ Bert | 20m, 8 | Leonidio | ★★ Very Good | Mon 6th Nov 2017 | |||
Not exactly a rest day. Emil made this look good. And it was.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Ill Gotten Gains | 30m, 15 | Mt Cooroora | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Jul 2007 | |||
I am bad. This is a superb route.
|
||||||||
26 | ★ Fumble Factor - with Neil | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 29th Dec 2012 | |||
Only a little bit of beta on the one move wonder crux. Thanks Neil and Sticky Dale.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Puddles - with Sammi, nathan mcneil, Coopsie | 17m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 3rd Dec 2016 | |||
Great victory move to the summit jug. Added anchor rings so you can now lower off, but it still needs a rebolt and new modern anchor.
|

26 7b+ | ★★ Hippie Banana Tree Killer | 25m, 13 | Cat Ba Island | Sun 1st Nov 2009 | ||||
7b+ | ★★★ Spartacus | 20m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Thu 6th Nov 2008 | |||
Smooth as silk. My only regret is not taking quickdraws for the 7c extension.
|
||||||||
7b+ | ★★ No Have | 23m, 9 | Ton Sai | ★★★ Classic | Sat 14th Jan 2006 | |||
My first 26 flash. Killer!

Gamble moves. My kind of climbing. One guy reckons this is the best 12c in Yangshuo.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Circle of Doom - with Emil Mandyczewsky, Scott Boladeras, chris coghill | 15m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 23rd Jul 2017 | |||
Longer than it looks; I got a brutal pump.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Caramel Sluice - with Dave Hoyle | 22m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 15th Sep 2019 | |||
Thought I'd been on this previously many years ago but evidently not. Premium Hoyle flash beta.
