7c+ | ★★★ Zawinul Syndicate | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 3rd Jun 2010 | |||
7c/c+. Amazing battle. Several cruxy sections between very good rests which may ruin your T-shirt.

5.13a | ★★ Shibumi - with Kris Hampton | Rifle Mountain Park | ★★ Very Good | Thu 1st Aug 2019 | ||||
My first and probably only ever 5.13 onsight at Rifle. Stoked.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Vielles Glories | 40m | Rodellar | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 16th Sep 2010 | |||
After the 7c. Holy shite!!!
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★ A Farewell to Arms | 24m, 12 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Thu 11th Oct 2012 | |||
Fucking yeah!! Steep as!
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Easy Rider | 30m, 12 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Mon 8th Oct 2012 | |||
Woo freakin hoo! Very unexpected. Endurance to the max - a never ending 30m super overhanging pitch. I milked the lay-down rest at the top forever.
|
||||||||
7c+ 7c | ★★★ Adam | 32m | Kalymnos | Average | Wed 9th Jun 2010 | |||
Big rope draggy fight. Used to be 8a, but people (including me) skirt the business so now it's 7c+
|
||||||||
7c+ 7c | ★★★ Kava Aris - with Sammi, jjobrien | 28m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sun 29th Oct 2017 | |||
Was feeling super confident and just went for it. Psyched.
|
||||||||
7c+ 7c | ★★★ Oeil de Biche - with Sammi | 40m, 16 | Leonidio | ★★★ Classic | Thu 2nd Nov 2017 | |||
Athletic cage fighting on tufas and shallow pockets in steep ground, a weird slab, then a spectacular finale on juggy holes and tufa fins.
|
||||||||
7c/c+ Easy | ★★★ Zeybreak - with o_g | 40m, 19 | Leonidio | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 14th Nov 2022 | |||
Biggest fight of this trip so far. Full body tufa wrestling. 1,000,000 kneebars. Would not have been pretty to watch. FA gave it 7c+ in 2016, and gets 7c+ in the Panjika guide, but 7c in the Aris guide. Probably sits somewhere in the middle, who cares, epic line reminiscent of Kalymnos Panorama sector.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Angry Birds (Angry Bird) - with Gazza | 12m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Fri 28th Oct 2022 | |||
Perfect flash beta from the Gazman 🙏🏼
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ Basic Instinct - with @1293 | 25m, 14 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 14th Apr 2019 | |||
Vaguely reminiscent of Sunnyside at the Pit. High stickclip to start; steep, moderate climbing for 6 bolts to a ledge below the quote-unquote slab. A baffling move to overcome the slab and then it's game on up the headwall on cool pockets to an improbable-looking, dynamic crux. [7]
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★ Spitting Shards, House Of Cards | 25m, 11 | Mt Cooroora | ★ Good | Sat 7th Jul 2007 | |||
Technical climbing on questionable rock. Strange moves that beat you up. 7th shot.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Beautiful Thing | 16m, 5 | The Pulpit (private land) | Sun 1st Jul 2012 | ||||
Bit of fitness training. Gareth almost did it today, and did it the next day.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Free tail bat (Gaylord) | 15m | The Pulpit (private land) | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th Apr 2011 | |||
Straight up placing the gear. Yeee-ooooo!
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★★ Ahead Of The Curve | 28m | The Pulpit (private land) | ★★★ Classic | Sun 28th Jun 2009 | |||
Techo, tenuous, runout, scary but safe. Amazing! [3]
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ Seven Year Itch | 15m, 6 | Mt Tibrogargan | ★★ Very Good | Mon 11th Jun 2012 | |||
Bolted by Craig Pohlman in 2006 -- huge effort Rocky, thanks. 6m ceiling, very similar to 'A Kneebar Too Far'. For the Coolum-philes, this kind of climbing where you're flipping your feet above your head and falling into kneebars is pretty classic. [3]
|
||||||||
7c+ | FA ★★★ Monarch | 25m, 13 | Cat Ba Island | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 5th Dec 2010 | |||
Freakin awesome! This cliff just keeps on giving. Super bouldery crux sequence with wild swings on fingerlocks and campussing on perfect, bullet stone. No footholds! One of my best new routes. Could be 8a? [3]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ L'ora degli eroi - with Sam | 15m, 6 | San Vito lo Capo | ★★★ Classic | Sat 27th Sep 2014 | |||
Thugging out a big overhung rib. Compression climbing, culminating in a dynamic throw to victory jug. [2]
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★ Extremely Unseemly | 15m, 7 | Urbenville | ★ Good | Sun 25th May 2014 | |||
FFA. Climbed on the 1 year Spot X anniversary. A boulder problem which requires some pounce.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★★ Epoxy Doxie | 15m, 8 | Urbenville | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 27th Jul 2013 | |||
FFA. This route is my cup of tea. 45 board climbing.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ The Macleod - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Thu 3rd Nov 2016 | |||
FFA. Very cool "slab" section which is really not a slab. Felt incredible when it all came together.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ Men Will Fear You - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 17m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 22nd Oct 2016 | |||
FFA. Super interesting dynamic climbing, totally my style.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ Pit Viper - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 10th Aug 2018 | |||
FFA. Good to use a bit of trip fitness to get a project done! Links Force Cannon into Farkenright via a long but safe runout (no new bolts). Climb all of the hard bit of FC to the horizontal break just before the ledge. Now bust directly right via a tricky boulder, then jugs across the break to the hourglass hold, continuing R as per Farkenright. Lots of roof climbing! Use a couple of slings or rollers to reduce drag. I was originally thinking 29, but this ended up going quickly, much quicker than Pit Boss.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ Broken Flowers - with Sammi | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 28th Jun 2019 | |||
FFA. Bouldering on a rope - fun athletic, super steep climbing split by a couple of rest ledges. Iron cross down low, elevator doors at the mid-crux. Three days [4]
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★ Prince Of Darkness | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 24th May 2020 | |||
The "moonboard crux" on the face is pretty punchy (V7 on the MB ). It may be impossible for the shorter climber just due to span. You want to pull with your left heel to go the distance. Not a good one to try in smeggy conditions.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★★★ Gasoline Rainbow | 20m, 9 | Mt Coolum | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 13th Mar 2007 | |||
No move over 25. Sustained, awesome. 7th shot, 4th redpoint burn.
|
||||||||
28 | FA ★ What The Left Hand Don't Know | 25m, 11 | Mt Ninderry | ★ Good | Sat 18th Feb 2012 | |||
A great sequence of bouldering in a super exposed position, only slightly spoilt by the fact that there’s tempting easy ground off L. Hard to grade. 18 V7? 3rd day.
|
||||||||
7c+ 8a | ★★★ Tequila sunrise - with Sammi, jjobrien, Christopher Glastonbury | 38m | Chulilla | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 1st Mar 2017 | |||
Perfect tufa to a buffed-shiny face crux, then pumpy headwall. 7c+/8a in latest guide. Regardless, a super pitch of climbing. Great recommendation from Rhys. [2]
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Beer Run | 30m | Rifle Mountain Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 30th Jun 2010 | |||
Best 13a in North America so they say. I say = a must-do.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Brown Corduroy Trousers | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Sat 8th Jul 2006 | |||
Happy with that one. 3rd shot on lead. 8 all up. 3 yrs. [3/8]
|
||||||||
28 | ★ Pretender | 18m | The Pulpit (private land) | ★ Good | Sun 3rd Aug 2008 | |||
Hurlyburly. 3rd ascent. [7]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Energia Positiva | 35m | Terradets | ★★★ Classic | Wed 13th Nov 2013 | |||
Climbed really well in the death sun. Found a sneaky kneebar up the top thank god. No mistakes on the Dr Chris Coghill memorial crimps at the finish.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Orient | 35m, 15 | Terradets | ★★★ Classic | Mon 11th Nov 2013 | |||
Didn't have a stack of energy but just squeaked it in. No moves individually feel hard but hell - putting it all together. Feels like a monster. [3]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ The Great Escape — 3 attempts - with @1293 | 20m, 4 | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Wed 17th May 2023 | |||
A nice mix of styles in a shady position. Not as many kneebars as I was hoping! 3rd shot.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Returnity - with Dave Hoyle | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 11th May 2016 | |||
Great to do this in an express after-work session. Run in - team send - stumble out. [2]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ EIEIO | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 2nd Jan 2013 | |||
Really climbed it nicely today. Came up with some great beta and executed perfectly. [4]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ Big Hit with the Kids - with Duncan Steel † | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 20th Dec 2015 | |||
33 degrees and zero breeze - perfect housing conditions! House! [2]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ Zapt - with Sammi | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 12th Sep 2021 | |||
Second go. 20 degrees, 20% humidity, gale force westerlies. With a wing suit I could have soloed it.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Conehead & The Barbiturates - with Sammi | 30m | Nowra | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 7th Jul 2018 | |||
Never in doubt the second time. [2]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ The Forty Metre Mile | 30m, 15 | Mt Tibrogargan | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Mar 2006 | |||
20 clip super route. Thanks Taipan fitness [4/4]. 4/2/06: 2 shots.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Groovy - with Sammi | 25m, 6 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 3rd Apr 2019 | |||
The entrance exam to the main event is still pretty amazing in its own right. And you can open hand every RH hold, so perfect for a recovering finger injury. Six tries, and one shot 13 years ago.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Anaconda | 60m, 8 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Mon 6th Mar 2006 | |||
Five days on, surprised I managed this. 3rd shot.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Venom | 60m, 4 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Sat 4th Mar 2006 | |||
Sustained climbing with a hard traverse. 3rd shot.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ Spurt Girl | 15m, 4 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Wed 7th Oct 2009 | |||
Campus board in route form. Great! [3]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ Tunnel to Caracas | 15m, 5 | Victoria Range | ★★ Very Good | Fri 2nd Oct 2009 | |||
Happy to do it second try [2]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Fresh Goats Milk | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Jan 2012 | |||
Bit of noise on the crux, bloody happy to latch it and go through to the top. Thanks to the crew. [2]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Equaliser - with Sammi | 20m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 12th Jun 2016 | |||
Historic, hard power endurance established by George Feig 21 years ago. While holds and grades have come and gone, this remains a true testpiece. Came close 4 years ago, redemption today. [7]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Arugliopoulus | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Thu 13th Oct 2011 | |||
Onsight to final tufa, but then spent ages unlocking the crux boulder problem. [2]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Moon Bridge | 18m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Fri 4th Nov 2011 | |||
Got a bit psyched on this during the camp so had to come back for it. A whole series of "non holds" which you can somehow make work using friction and recruitment. Insane body position climbing. Un-Kalymnian in every way. [4]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Andromeda | 20m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Thu 17th Oct 2013 | |||
Tickety tick - cleaning up an old dog.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Marci Marc (Marci Mark) | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 4th Apr 2010 | |||
Second shot today. One of the best routes on the island.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Neska Polita | 20m | Kalymnos | ★ Good | Mon 26th Apr 2010 | |||
Contrived up top unfortunately. One star.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ King Cobra | 45m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Mon 7th Nov 2011 | |||
Pretty happy to bag the Cobra second try. All routes and extensions in the bowl now done. Used a stack of long slings and roller biners. Hayden Kennedy promptly flashed it on my gear [2]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Amores Perros | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 12th Nov 2008 | |||
7 diamond experience. Best route of the trip and totally worth the boat-ride over. Compression crux to dyno. Third shot.
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Pump-o-Rama | Rifle Mountain Park | ★★★ Classic | Tue 6th Jul 2010 | ||||
Hey you! Rifle kneebar king! Come to Mt Coolum Australia!
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Prometheus Unbound | 29m, 10 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 21st Oct 2012 | |||
What is a collection of ladybugs called? Because that's what was attacking me at the crux. Attacking I tell you. Be prepared for a PROMETHEUS of ladybugs! [2]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★ Black Hole (Black Hole (aka Pepsi Says Looks Good)) | 15m, 4 | Ton Sai | ★ Good | Mon 17th Jan 2011 | |||
Nice to bag this. Very Vietnamese-style limestone and holes. Looked at it years ago but has been rebolted now. Ends up climbing pretty differently to first impressions. If you boil it right down, it's a four move route. Compression.
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★ Sluggo — 2 attempts - with Sammi | 15m | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Wed 16th Aug 2023 | |||
Second go today in 87% humidity which definitely added some spice. [6]
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Shoot 'Em Up - with Sammi | 15m, 6 | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Sat 5th Aug 2023 | |||
15 moves to glory. What's that, like, 2.5 moonboards? [3]
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Busload of Faith — 2 attempts - with Sammi | Maple Canyon | ★★★ Classic | Tue 8th Aug 2023 | ||||
Super short, super steep, no filler. [2]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Boom Boom | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Sun 9th May 2010 | |||
2nd shot. Punchy, classic face climbing. 10 mins between shots. BOOM!
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Anaphylactic Shock | 33m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Sat 19th Oct 2013 | |||
Had a play on toprope as I was lowering off Lactic Shock, moves felt okay and I had a brief window before it went into the sun. Fortune favours the bold! [2]
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★ Sprout - with Sammi | 30m | Maple Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Mon 15th Aug 2016 | |||
Yew! 6 year project 1 onsight attempt in 2010, 3 tries the other day and first go today. Jugs for days, but can you keep hanging on? [5]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ The Kings of Metal p1 | Rodellar | Sat 11th Sep 2010 | |||||
Sessioning with Urko [3]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ El Delfin | 18m | Rodellar | ★★ Very Good | Wed 20th Oct 2010 | |||
THE classic photogenic arch. I love Doug's description: "Cricket bats glued to the roof". Didn't think I would do this route. I suck at roof climbing. [4]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★ Tricky Business | 18m, 6 | Ton Sai | Sat 22nd Jan 2011 | ||||
Could be "Impossible Business" if you're short. Good bouldery climbing. [6]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Syrtaki Lessons | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Classic | Mon 14th Oct 2013 | |||
Tired, but managed to battle through. Cool! Aris told me this one was downgraded from 8a to keep the crowds off it [3]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Savina - with Sammi | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Mon 5th Oct 2015 | |||
Two years and 16 days ago I tore my shoulder on this route. Knocked me out of climbing for several months. Today, after much pre-climb therabanding, arm-windmills, hangboarding and strange looks, I got back on and sent it. Savina, I gingerly salute you.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Hyma sto Kyma | 25m | Kalymnos | ★★ Very Good | Sun 20th Oct 2013 | |||
I suspect this is one of those routes which you can either do quickly, or it will be impossible. Very bouldery top section. Super cool though with marble-y holds. [2]

I got lost and had the scariest moment of the entire route, trying to mantle a round boulder above a ledgefall in approach shoes. | 270m | Mount Buffalo | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 5th Apr 2024 | |||
When Aaron said he wanted to do this route, I didn't respond for over a week. I reeeeally didn't want to climb some coarse granite nightmare. But for that exact reason I figured it was best to say yes and get outside the old comfort zone. In the end, all the training and preparation paid dividends and despite the rain only giving us about half the climbing days we had planned and keeping one of the pitches saturated, we climbed 8 of the 9 pitches (including the crux) in 2 days and had a fantastic time doing it. A very memorable first ever trip to Buffalo. Probably can't top that, might never return.
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ WMD - with Heath Black, Erik Smits, Sammi, Kathryn Gardner | 15m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Fri 25th Mar 2016 | |||
Surprised to put it down second go. Harsh gritty rock and you really have to pull.
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★ Mallorca es Funky | Terradets | ★★ Very Good | Wed 20th Nov 2013 | ||||
Head was just not in the game today - I was not psyched. I mentally talked myself out of this with every move. I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned here. It's probably something like "You can't be on every day". [3]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Supernova - with Steve Ioannou | 25m, 13 | Frederick Peak | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 16th Jul 2012 | |||
Second ascent of Frederick's current hardest route. An epic second pitch affair high up in space up an immaculate orange and white 37 degree overhanging volcanic wall peppered with pockets. Very proud of the Three Lost Monkeys for establishing this. 1 shot in 2009, 5 shots this trip. Thank god it was dry today. [6]
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Hoofmaker - with Sam | 27m, 10 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Fri 19th Oct 2012 | |||
Did it really nicely. Couple of kneebars - all good in the hoof. [2]
|
||||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Taste The Rainbow - with Sam | 30m, 14 | Red River Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sat 13th Oct 2012 | |||
Heartbreaker. I dicked it up and fell at bolt 2. Lowered off. Rested. Then went back up all the way to the top. Super adventurous 30m long, 14 clips, 10m overhung. [2]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★★ Gushing Gargoyles - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 25m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 2nd Oct 2017 | |||
I still bare the scars from my failed onsight attempt on this last year where I skipped a clip, dynoed out the roof, failed to stick and splatted the wall hard on my wrist. It was good to finally get back on and giterdone. The last move, cutting feet on sketchy holds is super exciting. [3]
|
||||||||
28 | ★★ Hokonui Henchman - with Duncan Steel † | 18m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 4th Apr 2018 | |||
Pretty moderate to a sitdown, and then 4 bolts of really cool steep bouldering including a kneebar rollaround crux. This deserves way more attention! [3]

7c+ | ★★ Super Santos - with Sam | 20m, 11 | San Vito lo Capo | ★★ Very Good | Fri 3rd Oct 2014 | |||

7c+ | ★★★ Mega dave - with JJ | 25m | San Vito lo Capo | ★★★ Classic | Wed 22nd Oct 2014 | |||
This crag cooks all day long. But on the LAST DAY of the trip we scored this freak windy and cloudy day, so I could go back for this one. Thanks Sicily weather gods. Great route! [3]
|
||||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Breakfast on Pluto | 30m | Kalymnos | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 17th Oct 2013 | |||
I thought this was superb. Reminded me of the endurance routes in the RRG. The crux is fairly low, around bolt 5, but you could easily blow the top section on the onsight. A mega line. [2]
|

7c+ | ★★★ El diablo viste de Prana - with Sammi, jjobrien, Christopher Glastonbury | 28m | Chulilla | ★★★ Classic | Sun 26th Feb 2017 | |||

Managed to hang on and get it done. Happy to do this one in a day. I wanted to climb it placing the gear, hence the ground up effort, but stripping such a steep route each time requires some serious motivation. Maybe one day, but for now I'm content. [3] Footage: https://youtu.be/UTzYm7htdu8

28 | ★★★ Sentinel - with Emil Mandyczewsky | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 23rd Mar 2016 | |||

28 | ★★★ Sword Of Damocles - with Emil Mandyczewsky, Scott Boladeras | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 6th Feb 2016 | |||
