	Grade	Route	Gear style	Crag	Quality	Date
	7a	★★ Die Langweilige 1 6a 18m Sport Greasy 2 7a 18m Sport Had to rest when pulling roof. I think I was doing it the hard left hand way, but maybe I was just weak. The rest of the route was fine.	Sport 36m	Höhlensteintal	★★ Very Good	Fri 15th Sep 2023
	23 24	★★ Unity (Rat$ Direct) (Unity)	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 12th Feb 2011
NIce variant finish, good moves
	5.11d	★★★ Captain Insano	Sport 28m, 14	Ten Sleep Canyon	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 15th Sep 2014
Lovely endurance, technical route
	5.11d	★★ The Morrigan	Sport 25m, 12	Ten Sleep Canyon	★ Good	Sun 14th Sep 2014
Nice steep top section
	8 7a	★★★ Sun Express	Sport 28m, 11	Geyikbayırı	★★ Very Good	Sat 22nd Mar 2014
My style, but way easier than some of the 6bs we've done
	7a	★★★ DNA	Sport 20m	Kalymnos	★★★ Classic	Mon 21st Apr 2014
Wasn't allowed to leave without doing this
	7a	★★ Steinpilz	Sport 30m, 14	Kalymnos	★★★ Classic	Sun 20th Apr 2014
Wow,it might be a little friable and wet but it kept me on my toes the whole way.
	7a	★★ Sens Unique	Sport 40m	Kalymnos	★★ Very Good	Wed 9th Apr 2014
A few slippery slopes.
	7a	★★ Fuckination	Sport 19m	Olympos	★ Good	Mon 31st Mar 2014
A bolted finger to hand crack. Monkey face 19 or piddo 20, but still nice
	7a	★★ Un Bon Passage	Sport 32m	Camarasa	★★★ Classic	Sat 5th Oct 2019
Almost Blueys feeling, crimps, side pulls and some glue. Climbed up and down at the lower crux about 6 times working out the reachy sequence ( dave didn’t even notice this) and got the top crux well, quite exciting.
	23	★★ Fun Police	Sport 30m, 11	Wingello	★★ Very Good	Sat 25th Aug 2007
Great moves with welcome rests.
	23	★★ Roche Moutonnee	Sport 16m, 8	Motatapu Valley	★★ Very Good	Sat 2nd Apr 2016
Great novelty roof with per madras
	23	★★ Who the Fuck is Nick Cradock? (Who the Fuck is Nick Craddock?)	Sport 25m, 8	Motatapu Valley	★ Good	Sat 8th Mar 2008
nice reachy moves. Probably only 22, but its my style!
	23	★★★ Diagonal du Fou	Sport 15m, 10	Mount Alexandra	★★★ Classic	Sun 5th Nov 2017
Some rather big moves to start and on the slab. The roof was fine, though I missed half the jugs
	23	★★★ The Mind Boggles	Sport 40m, 18	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 17th Dec 2016
Some good climbing, nice and long, and the spaced bolts help the focus. Nice sting in the tail, tricky with buffeting winds
	23	★★ Leighsageezer	Sport 63m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 28th Mar 2015
Second pitch. One long move
	23	★★ Vertical Smile	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 4th Jan 2013
Spent some time getting pumped at the crux. ALso tricky off the ledge.
	23	★★ Slipstream	Sport 180m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Thu 25th Apr 2013
Pitch 5 only today by headtorch. Will come back!
	23	★ Uncontrollable Urge	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 22nd Apr 2018
Actually liked this. Technical crux, stop whinging people, it is all there. Try a heel toe, flag combo for feet and a matchbox type hold you layoff/ undercling. Apparently flashed this a decade ago, but I don't remember climbing on this wall
	23	★★ Let's Nail God	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 17th Jul 2016
The draws were on, but with no chalk anywhere this was a nice crimp fest
	23	★★★ Hypoxic	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains		Sun 8th Feb 2009
a battle
	23	★ Doris'll Getcha!	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains		Sun 8th Feb 2009
soft
	23	★★★ Speed Boat Wankers	Sport 25m	Nowra	★ Good	Sat 14th Jun 2008
The top bits is good
	23	★★ Iceman	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Mon 17th May 2010
nice slab
	23	★★★ Bondage and Discipline	Sport 23m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Mon 17th May 2010
not much more difficult than anyother route on this wall
	23	★ Keyboard Cat	Sport 16m, 6	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Thu 23rd Jul 2009
	23	★★ Frankie And Johnny (The acute angle route)	Sport 25m	Bulahdelah	Average	Sun 5th Jul 2009
	23	★★★ Squealer	Sport 21m, 6	Mt Tibrogargan	★★ Very Good	Wed 12th Aug 2020
Including a diversion into madder after we clipped the wrong starting bolt. Nice powerful moves but the chalked up holds don’t leave much doubt as to where to go.
	23	★★ Wrath or Revival	Sport 13m	Hillwood (private land)	★ Good	Sun 30th Nov 2014
Tough start with Sun in eyes, then eased off
	23	★★ Rage And Ruin	Sport 18m, 6	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★★ Very Good	Wed 5th May 2010
really great way to end the day
	23	★★★ Weaveworld	Sport 25m	Victoria Range	★★★ Classic	Wed 9th Nov 2011
Draws were on already. Love the position.
	23	★★ A Streaker Named Desire	Sport 25m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Jan 2007
Shipleys almost as nice as the Freezer
	23	★★★ The Plunge	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 12th Nov 2012
via arete start. Good moves. Got mixed up with Brydens route and rope drag after corrected
	23	★★ Scatterbrain	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Wed 12th Oct 2022
Super breezy, frozen hands more than pump
	23	★ Goosed	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	Average	Tue 18th Apr 2006
not too hard
	23	★★ Bionic Booger Boys (Bionic Bugga Boys)	Sport 100m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 9th Nov 2008
Had done other pitches with www, onsight crux pitch, very nice moves and great position
	23	★★ Sting Like a Bee Direct (Sting Like a Bee)	Sport 19m, 6	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★ Good	Thu 6th Oct 2016
Ok, but way too many options
	23	★★ Stuck in the middle with you	Sport 25m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★ Very Good	Mon 17th May 2010
The coveted first onsight apparently
	23	★★ Dictator in a Deerstalker	Sport 9m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Wed 2nd Jan 2013
Felt like I was on the woody.
	23	★★ Hobo Humping Slobo Babe	Sport 15m, 5	Hospital Flat	★ Good	Sun 10th Jan 2010
tricky to chose the right crimp
	23	★★ Heat Wave	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 1st May 2021
I found this easier than BIALB, kneebar and foot cams and a sit down rest everywhere
	23	★★ After the Rapture	Sport 15m, 8	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Aug 2011
Rather thin in places, just how I like it
	23	★★ The French Connection (Another JRW route)	Sport 16m	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Thu 9th Jun 2011
Good at bottom, a bit squeezed higher up
	23	★ Quality Junk	Sport 18m, 7	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sun 29th Apr 2012
Cliping 2nd bolt had me sweating scared. Then quite nice pump with one more tricky quickdraw to place- must be Bundys route!
	23	★ Avenue Jean Jaures	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 30th Jan 2016
Lower crux pretty reachy. Good length
	23	★★ Mild Peril - with Dave	Sport 110m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 4th Jan 2013
Second P1 and 2, Led P3 and 4. Nice continuous climbing the whole way.
	23	★ Welcome Alex (The Alex)	Top rope 14m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 17th Dec 2011
Apparently first direct nonMcDougall start
	23	★ On the Wagon	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 11th Mar 2012
If you are short a short stick to clip off the top of the blackboy is comforting before the traverse
	23	Trotting	Sport 10m, 4	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Wed 24th Oct 2012
Low jugs a bit flexing but fun moves
	23	★★ Reigning Steel	Sport 17m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 24th May 2015
Felt pumpy in the cold
	23	★★ Wallace & Grommet	Sport 18m	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Sat 20th Dec 2014
A few long moves I the middle
	23	★★★ Sluj Gulpa - with David Gray 1 20 20m lead by Vanessa Wills 2 22 15 lead by David Gray 3 23 15 lead by Vanessa Wills	Sport 50m, 14	Mt Gibraltar	★★★ Classic	Sun 3rd Mar 2019
Been on the fridge list for a while, nice rock, varied great climbing
	23	★★ Tomorrows Dream - Variant 2nd Pitch	Sport 20m	Bare Rock	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st May 2022
Nice moves, probably 22 as per the guide when compared to a few of the other 23s here
	23	★★ Flesh Light Fantasy	Sport 26m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sat 2nd Jul 2016
A bit squeezed in.
	23	★ Pufferfish	Sport 20m, 10	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Sun 29th Jan 2017
Some sharp little crimps.
	23	★ Beef in Cider	Sport 30m, 9	Point Perpendicular	Average	Sun 4th Dec 2016
Someone called chris is threatening to chop the bolts. Although the lower part does climb independently of T O the tide, it doesn't add a lot to the wall.
	23	★★ You'll be right Mate	Sport 30m	Kaputar	★★ Very Good	Sun 24th Apr 2016
Would be classic if it wasn't Kaputar rock. Great varied climbing
	23	★★ The Send Train	Sport 18m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 23rd Sep 2017
Burly start, then some varied good climbing
	23	★★ Way of the Dragon	Sport 14m, 8	Sand River	★★ Very Good	Tue 9th Feb 2021
Paddling makes you strong
	23	★ E Racer (Unknown Left of Racer's Edge)	Sport 30m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 19th May 2018
Well I did detour briefly into shakes as straight up seems contrived and pretty dangerous, and the other way goes into racers edge and is even more dangerous. Still felt enough to be 23, and very pleasant outing
	23	★★ Desert Raven	Sport 20m	Bruny Island	★★★ Classic	Thu 20th Feb 2020
Was pleased to get through the lower cruxes and then found a difficult to reach upper crux. I couldn’t keep feet on ledge to get to crux hold,and did some improbable campusing to prevent falling off. I think the upper crux is definitely harder than 23 for vertically challenged. Great fight.
	23	★★ Deep Six	Sport 40m	Bruny Island	★ Good	Sat 20th Mar 2021
The start seemed extremely grimy with dirt caked in many holds. The climbing a bit contrived to make it a true 23, but some nice bits in there.
	5.11c	★★ Isis in Chains	Sport 25m, 9	Skaha	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 27th Aug 2014
Superb the entire way
	5.11c	★★ Spirit Fingers	Sport 21m, 7	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Thu 19th Oct 2023
The crux was definitely the thin seam, felt grade 23, the rest was just pump management and plain fun.
	5.11c	★★ Different Strokes	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Wed 25th Oct 2023
Shortish but nice movement and a hand jam
	5.11c	★★★ Lalaland	Sport 30m, 12	Owens River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Sat 11th Oct 2014
Nothing too hard, just steep
	5.11c	★★ Brow beaten	Sport 30m	Skaha		Wed 27th Aug 2014
Draws on. Quite pumpy.
	5.11c	★★ Dog Day Afternoon	Sport 17m	Jasper National Park	★★ Very Good	Tue 25th Jul 2017
Crimpy through roof
	5.11c	★ Belgian Dangler, Waffle Finish	Sport 30m, 14	Skaha	★ Good	Fri 30th Jun 2017
Nearly came off the awkward start when I got a cramp in my hand jam
	5.11c	★★★ Murder the crows	Sport 25m	Skaha	★★ Very Good	Fri 23rd Jun 2017
Nice varied climbing, lovely head wall
	23 22	★★ Ferocious Weasel	Sport 20m, 8	Motatapu Valley	★ Good	Sat 2nd Apr 2016
Not too hard
	23 22	★★ Nylon Happy	Sport 20m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Dec 2004
stoked.
	23 5.11b	★★ Red Bull (The Rd Bull)	Sport 20m, 7	阳朔 Yangshuo	★★ Very Good	Wed 15th Oct 2008
great sequences. downclimbed the roof a few times before committing
	23 22	★★ Building a Better Mousetrap	Sport 25m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 3rd Aug 2006
OS this about 6 years ago....
	23 22	★ Red Sleigh Down	Sport 15m, 6	Blue Mountains	Average	Mon 28th Oct 2019
Definitely harder than Rudolf and suboptimal bolt placements with ledge fall potential. Crux move good but nails. Wouldn’t be out of place for a 24. Could be reach, but I note others found it hard.
	23 5.11a	★★ 山顶洞人 Cave Man Pitch 2 (cave man p.2)	Sport 30m, 14	阳朔 Yangshuo	★★ Very Good	Wed 22nd Oct 2008
nice warm up
	23 21	★ Stromboli	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 22nd Apr 2018
The start was the hardest thing I did all day, had seen someone on the start but it didn't help me due to height differences
	23 5.10d	★★ 蜻蜓 Dragonfly (Dragonfly)	Sport 17m, 7	阳朔 Yangshuo	★★ Very Good	Sat 18th Oct 2008
	23	★★ Peregrine — 2 attempts 1 21 25 Second Rock quality was not inspiring. A finger sized cam at the top would prevent a ledge fall 2 23 20 Sport Finger size cam at start would be useful. Onsighted all the moves but could not get the 8 th draw on, spent about a minute of increasing pump. The thread sticks out 2cm blocking the small hanger. Was level with it, and of course could have moved to the other side of the arete, but I was feeling out there already. Did it second go.	Sport 45m	Mount Wellington		Fri 27th Jan 2023
	23 28	★★★ Marxism (Marxism Pitch 1)	Sport 62m, 22	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Mar 2012
rather pumpy
	23 25	★★★ Microdermabrasia (Microdermabrasia - Pitch 1)	Sport 85m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 22nd Nov 2009
Lovely line
	5.11d	★★★ Yes I still climb	Sport 30m	Skaha	★★ Very Good	Fri 23rd Jun 2017
A weaving journey

Had half the draws on. Quite committing in places
	7a	★★ Cigarillo	Sport 28m	Kalymnos	★★ Very Good	Mon 21st Apr 2014
Been upgraded in new guide. Glad for the rests
	7a	★★ Brazilia Carnaval	Sport 32m, 14	Geyikbayırı	★ Good	Sat 22nd Mar 2014
Thanks for the draws dave
	23	★ Sequels of the Light	Sport 10m, 5	Waterworks Quarry	Average	Tue 6th Nov 2012
very pox rock
	23	★★ Antipodean Tippler (Right Wing)	Sport 30m	Kaputar	★ Good	Sat 21st Apr 2012
Can't remember, think placed draws after doing revival
	23	★★★ Jack Be Nimble	Sport 25m, 6	Motatapu Valley	★★ Very Good	Sat 29th Mar 2008
Nice flake moves.
	23	★★ Dragon's Egg	Sport 20m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 5th Feb 2018
A decade I did this I think, but have no recollection. Went up putting draws on so I could put some long slings on NIB. A super nice route.
	23	★★★ Amazon Queens In the Avocado Jungles Of Death	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Sep 2013
Years since I tried the RHV, and never looked at this sequence. Maybe I can climb again!
	23	★★ Beam Me Up Scotty (Direct Start)	Sport 18m, 10	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Mon 13th Apr 2009
good variation
	23	★ Kremlin Kapers	Sport 10m, 2	The You Yangs	Average	Sat 18th Feb 2017
2 bolts? Felt like a monkey face 17
	23	★★ Tower of Song	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tue 12th Jun 2007
Ignored JLos gde 26 MacDougall and used girl tactics!
	23	★★ Waylo (Undercling start)	Sport 16m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Dec 2013
rpt. The holds are all a little too far apart for the feet.
	23	★★★ Smooth Sailing	Sport 30m	Waitpinga	★★ Very Good	Sat 25th Feb 2017
Stabbing here is good, positive edges. Though the wind was trying hard to blow me off, or my shivering
	23	★ Scorched Earth	Sport 18m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sat 11th Jun 2011
I thought it was fun....
	23	★ Jigger Jeff (Slab to Steep)	Sport 17m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 30th Apr 2011
Interesting slab, pumpy top, shame about ledge
	23	★ Amnesia Middle Finish	Sport 25m, 8	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	Average	Thu 6th Oct 2016
Ok
	23	★ School's Out	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	Don't Bother	Tue 14th Nov 2023
Contrived.
	23	★ Freeway	Sport 16m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 17th Dec 2011
