	20 20 R	★★★ Take Five	Trad 130m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 28th Apr 2006
Led P1 and 3. Eyes wide shut for the first 15 metres due to scanty gear.
	20	★ Tactical Cats	Trad 22m	Arapiles	★ Good	Tue 24th May 2022
About 4 grades easier than claw. Lots of gear. Nice enough.

Did this in 2011 with Monty and Nick
	20	Call the Next Witness Please Direct	Trad 25m	The Black Range	★ Good	Wed 12th Oct 2016
Found the gear very diddly and TCUs essential. Nearly rained off.
	20	★ Mitigating Circumstances	Trad 20m	The Black Range	★ Good	Wed 12th Oct 2016
Spent a long time fiddling with gear again,
	20 ~19	★★ Wise Crack	Trad 55m	Blue Mountains	Average	Sat 17th Dec 2022

	20	★★ perfect 6	Trad 17m	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Sun 25th Jul 2010
start is the crux
	20	★★ Ilean	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Ebor Gorge	★ Good	Fri 20th Oct 2017

Exposed excursion on a windy day
	20	★ I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For	Trad 22m	Barrenjoey	Don't Bother	Sat 1st Jul 2006
contrived rubbish
	20	★★ Ben Trovato	Mixed trad 150m, 3	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 15th Apr 2013
Was seeming very easy and then one quite thoughtful move
	20	★★ Weapons of Mass Deception	Mixed trad 45m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 6th Mar 2017
Kind of weirdly bolted near good cam placements, but run out lower section on crap rock
	20	★★ Shulz Sux	Trad 50m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mon 7th Jan 2008
A trad route with 2 bolts. Nice end

Interesting and a little scary
	20	★★★ Mindblower	Mixed trad 20m, 3	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 15th May 2004
sensational
	20	★★ Cosmed	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 22nd Jul 2018
Reasonably straightforward narrow hands with feet everywhere
	20	Jane (superthin crack)	Trad 10m	Bulahdelah	Average	Mon 9th Aug 2010
scary,bring RPs and C3s
	20	★ Nosey Walker (Destined to be a classic)	Trad 25m	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Mon 26th Sep 2011
Second half is wandery and good, but needs more traffic
	20	Semi-Quaver	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	Average	Thu 15th Oct 2015
Not great. A couple of boulder problems with bolt protection on pitch 2, but something new to get up the pinnacle.
	20	★ Back on the borderline	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Fri 24th Nov 2017
The my second bolt is rusty, but seems OK. Then nice narrow hand crack. Anchors in this place would be much better for vegetation.
	20	★ In The Buff	Trad 10m	Wreck Beach	★ Good	Wed 15th Jan 2014
Nice moves and funky gear
	20	★ Sunset Boulevard	Trad 60m	Killiecrankie	★★ Very Good	Wed 9th Mar 2022
Led p1, second P2, we did a direct finish to the right. Starts off mossy and not great, but then nice twin cracks and amazing moving to belay. The traverse is quite hard, then good steep moves up to top. Our rap ring and tape from last year at the station still looks good.
	20	★★ Antiques Road Show (Antique Road Show)	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Arapiles	★ Good	Thu 13th Sep 2018
Beautiful rock but not very sustained
	20	★ Greasy Nipple	Trad 18m	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Sat 24th Sep 2016
Nice moves and a chimney to finish
	20	★ Short Arms Deep Pockets	Mixed trad 20m, 5	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Sun 10th Apr 2016
A #3 and #4 advantageous. Nice moves at the flake and outrageous position
	20	★ Wondrous Beauty	Mixed trad 33m, 5	Kaputar	★ Good	Sun 1st Apr 2018
Pretty nice climbing up finger crack into dihedral. Someone had clearly launched up this hoping it was a sports route and bailed at the second bolt
	20	★ Bonzerland	Trad 25m	Kaputar	★ Good	Mon 13th Jun 2016
Stout warm up. Take small cams. Good direct start to primal scream
	20	★★ Lunge not	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Kaputar	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Apr 2017
Another great not over bolted Barley classic. Gear to #3. Hard start.
	5.10c	★★ Sandbag	Trad	Smith Rock State Park	★★ Very Good	Sun 10th Jul 2005
I think this was the arete below HH
	5.10d 5.10c III PG	★★★ Risky Business	Trad 110m	Red Rock	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Oct 2014
Led the scary pitches, 1 and 3. I would hate to fall, the first pitch was not well protected
	5.10c	★★ Groovy Guru	Trad 18m	Squamish	★ Good	Tue 6th Jun 2017
A bit more sustained than the others, lots of small gear
	5.10c 5.10c/d	★ Lust	Mixed trad 22m, 4	Squamish	Average	Sun 11th Jun 2017
Some good bits, but seemed a bit easy, must have been the crimps
	5.10c	★ The Messenger	Trad 25m	Cirque of the Unclimbables	★ Good	Fri 11th Aug 2017
A bit dirty, probably easier than 10c
	20 19	★ Rosy Shy	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★ Good	Fri 16th Nov 2012
Hmm, araps warm up first day. Took a while to commit at crux
	20 19	★★ Firedance	Trad 15m	Arapiles	Average	Tue 26th Jan 2016
As the guide says, better than it looks, but the interest is more in the gear than the moves
	20 19	★★★ Judgement Day	Mixed trad 67m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Thu 13th Dec 2007
led pitch3. Nice exposed traverse.
	20	★★ Big City Life (Urban Sprawl Variant) - with David Gray 1 18 25 2 20 30 3 18 30 4 19 25 5 13 15	Trad 130m	Lake Huntley	★ Good	Mon 14th Feb 2022
Alt with Dave after walking up the hill with very heavy packs
	20	★★★ Rain Shadow - with David Gray 1 20 15 lead by David Gray 2 19 10 lead by Vanessa Wills 3 16 45 lead by David Gray	Trad 70m	Killiecrankie	★★★ Classic	Mon 14th Mar 2022
The third pitch is stupendous classic climbing, though it’s easier than the first 2 feisty pitches which are also very good, but first pitch a little spoogy. Descent in 2 raps from above golden ticket to pinnacle then down with a 70 m rope gets you to ground
	20	★★ Khe Sanh	Mixed trad 25m, 6	Wolgan Valley	★★ Very Good	Sun 20th Mar 2011
lots of positive slab holds. Wasp nest near the top
	20	★★ Who Killed Schrodinger's Cat?	Mixed trad 18m, 2	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	Wed 10th Jun 2009
still reachy
	20	★ The Idle Rich	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Kaputar	★ Good	Mon 2nd Apr 2018
	20	★★ Face It	Trad 25m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Sun 17th Apr 2022
Nice climbing, when it feels like it’s getting hard reaching left seemed to work in a few spots
	20	★★ Cadenza	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★ Good	Mon 10th Dec 2007
not bad and rope drag OK with doubles
	20	★★ Bam Bam	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 6th Oct 2013
On Daves gear (ecept for replaced wires in the lower section. Pumpy at the end of the day
	20 20 R	★ Scourge	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★ Good	Fri 16th Nov 2012
Rapped over it and place a high bit of gear.
	20	★★ Vanoise	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 18th Nov 2012
Slight McDougal finish going above anchors and doing roof moves, prob 2 grades harder!
	20	★ I Wish That Bulge Would Go Away	Trad 16m	Arapiles	Average	Thu 22nd Oct 2015
A bit wandery
	20	★ Traffic	Trad 7m	Arapiles	★ Good	Fri 16th Oct 2015
Good gear, especially when Dave placed it, and I just sport tradded the route.
	20	★ Bossy Mothers	Mixed trad 15m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 14th May 2022
Really nice route. Because it’s hidden behind the annoying bush I will mention a #4 is handy. Did quite different approach to Dave due to reach at the start to get crack. Then quite sustained climbing but good stances for gear.
	20	★★ Sucking Faces	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Ebor Gorge	★★ Very Good	Fri 20th Mar 2015
Just hope the tourists don't chuck their rubbish
	20	★ It Pays to Belong	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Ebor Gorge	Average	Fri 20th Oct 2017
Very contrived
	20	★★★ Integral Crack	Trad 48m	Orroral area	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 15th Oct 2017
Had seconded this about 15 years ago so only an Alzheimer's onsight. Would be a classic anywhere, apparently I placed 26 runners!
	20	★★ Debutante Direct Start	Trad 24m	Mt Rosea	★ Good	Fri 28th May 2010
I hate that sentry box
	20	★★ Tex Arcana	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	Average	Mon 7th Jan 2008
crimp, high step. Oh I'm at Mt York!
	20	★★ Cadbury Flake	Trad 20m	Tomaree Head	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Dec 2006
very nice and trickybin the middle
	20	★ Robin Hood	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Tomaree Head	Average	Mon 26th Dec 2011
Abseiled over it and preclipped bolt. Could make it as hard as you like but I dont see the point. Regrade at 19/20
	20	★★ Kneely There	Mixed trad 15m, 5	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Nov 2018
Hard start if short, nice climbing after that
	20	★ Ninja Princess Direct start	Trad 7m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Fri 31st Dec 2021
Did this previously
	20	★ Her Brat	Trad 20m	Kaputar	★ Good	Mon 11th Dec 2017
Nice climbing, the top thirds gear is suboptimal, though not hard, then scramble up to tree. Thought it was a FA due to the cleaning required, but aplenty done by Anthony Brennan a couple of decades ago
