Alt 70 m pitches with Dave. He stayed in his approach shoes the whole way. Not sure where 5.7 is, the descent was more challenging. Great views and fun feature. Booty cam and wire. Nice to get out of the smoke in the Bow valley.

14 | ★★ Pegasus | 48m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Sat 6th Feb 2021 | |||

14 | ★★★ Sweet Dreams | 130m, 20 | Blue Mountains | Mon 15th Apr 2013 | ||||
Well, the first 3 pitches anyway in about 10 minutes with 3 bits of gear. Might get back to it one day. On a weekday. Before any other climbers around.

14 | Grunting Bitch | 20m, 2 | Watagans | Average | Sun 28th Jun 2020 | |||
Not sure what came over me, but I took our #12 up willingly and was happy to have it to supplement the 2 old carrots. That was the good part of the climb
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Small Wonder | 20m | Watagans | ★ Good | Sat 22nd Aug 2020 | |||
Not sure why I has never done this, the twin cracks are quite fun. Anchors need replacing, more crap eyebolts.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Drag on | 35m | Tomaree Head | Average | Fri 30th Jan 2009 | |||
Quite blocky

||||||||
14 | Leap Frog | 25m | Watagans | Average | Thu 13th Dec 2012 | |||
Good for a few moves.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Up Your Kilt | 17m | Killiecrankie | ★ Good | Sat 13th Mar 2021 | |||
I thought this was quite nice climbing with a convenient anchor at 17 m, ( and the old chain immediately below). Initialled. With Jonty.
|
||||||||
14 | Avon | 10m, 1 | Watagans | Average | Fri 22nd Jul 2016 | |||
Would be a nice beginner route apart from the 50 yo carrot and lichenous slab
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Loch your kilt | 17m | Killiecrankie | ★ Good | Sat 13th Mar 2021 | |||
Graded 15 in guide. Perhaps the second pitch is harder which we didn’t do. With Jonty.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Rain Dance | 15m | Killiecrankie | ★ Good | Mon 14th Mar 2022 | |||
Amazing rock, with tiny lattices between the water washed granite, and an easier way to get to the first belay of Rain Shadow when you haven’t warmed up yet.
|
||||||||
5- | ★★★ Vårrusen | 150m | Tromsø | Tue 1st Aug 2023 | ||||
Pitch 1 only. ( by mistake), mainly solo, then roped up for the last 5 m when it looked a bit serious.
|

Limited wide gear with us

14 | ★★ Tremulo | 25m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Wed 15th Mar 2023 | |||
Nothing like some hot desert air and vertical quartzite to help the bad back and junky chest
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ S.S.C.C.1 | 25m | Blue Mountains | Average | Mon 12th Nov 2012 | |||
No way I was going to warm up on SSCC3!
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Orangutang | 6m | Watagans | Average | Wed 23rd May 2018 | |||
Apparently I soloed this years ago. I must have been stupid. The jam bit is fine but the offwidth is insecure
|
||||||||
14 | FA ★ V for Varroa | 15m | Umina | Average | Sun 14th Aug 2022 | |||
FFA. May have been done previously? Done by 6 people, and the other climbers at the crag thought it looked ok and were considering bringing a trad rack in to do it. #5 or #6 handy.
|
||||||||
14 | ★★★ Cornerstone Rib | 190m | Warrumbungles | ★★ Very Good | Fri 2nd Jun 2023 | |||
Fond but sad memories from my previous ascent of this with Nick. Did it today from Blackmans camp with Dave and Jonty. The rocks average but the experience is great.

14 | FA Veetoo | 7m | Average | Sat 22nd Aug 2015 | ||||
FFA. Unfortunately has about 3 moves and it's over
|
||||||||
14 | FA ★ Dave 1 | 15m | Watagans | ★ Good | Sun 23rd Aug 2020 | |||
FFA. Perversely enjoyed this. Enough other features to avoid too much thrutching, but still butterflyhand stock was useful
|
||||||||
14 | FA ★ Niagara falls | 18m | Kwiamble National Park | ★ Good | Tue 3rd Aug 2021 | |||
May previously have been done, not too bad
|
||||||||
14 | FA ★ Road End | 55m | Killiecrankie | ★ Good | Sun 27th Mar 2022 | |||
FFA. Definitely a nicer way to get high up in this area than the HR or the LR with minimal gully exposure.

5- | ★★★ Directa Hermanos Martinez | 170m, 8 | Naranjo de Bulnes | ★ Good | Mon 2nd Sep 2019 | |||
Thought we should suss out the main descent route, nice enough climbing on runnels. Got descended on sure enough, maybe an earlier start would have helped. Hot. Alt, combined 1&2 and 3&4

14 | ★ Cul-de-Sac Crack | 8m | Orroral area | ★ Good | Sun 17th Mar 2019 | |||
