27 ~26 ★★★ Hollow Men Direct - with Will Monks Mixed trad 28m, 7 Blue Mountains ★★★ Classic Thu 15th Jun 2023
Superb climbing the whole way. Nothing minging, just lovely big moves on great holds.

25 ~24 ★★ The Racer's Edge Direct Finish - with Heath Black Mixed trad 30m, 7 Blue Mountains ★★ Very Good Sat 23rd Sep 2023
A cool iron stone flake feature running up the arete. A couple of crux crimps turn into nice little sequence and then the route backs off into an enjoyable Mountains arete.

24 ★★★ The Thin Line of Reprieve Trad 75m Blue Mountains ★★★ Classic Tue 26th Mar 2024
What a line. Excellent climbing in a stunning location, with the most stonking gear I've placed in the 'Mountains.

We bailed onto Charlie Don't Surf instead of continuing up the dripping second pitch.

Trad 190m Blue Mountains ★★★ Classic Sat 9th Mar 2024
The line is unquestionably primo. The climbing itself was like questing up a slimey waterslide at Raging Waters.

I slowly greased out of a right jam on the crux transition a couple of times before pulling the rope and sending it. Crack gloves next time

A memorable ascent, although I might wait for a couple of seasons of glorious El Niño conditions before repeating this one.

An excellent, well protected adventure with wonderful belays. Climbed in 30 degree heat and it was still enjoyable.

Thoroughly enjoyable and quite sustained the whole way, with nothing too desparate either.

24 ★★ Quran Calling - with Heath Black Mixed trad 30m, 12 Blue Mountains ★★ Very Good Mon 24th Jul 2023
Came off trying to stick the utterly desperate move above the 3rd bolt. Highly agree with the other comments - just pull past this and do the route at 22M1 to open up a super enjoyable and engaging arete route. The 2 cams are bomber but the first placement is hard to see until you've climbed above it.

Sent it clean above that minging 3rd bolt move

Amazing flake feature into total desparation on the delicate lichenous slab above.

Very cool slabbing with a hard crux high step.

3 19 20 Trad

Absorbing adventure up incipient cracks in the slab.

5 24 35 Trad

Awesome fun start section, then cool pockety climbing into a crux sequence towards the end. Fell at crux and had a rest on the #3 camalot above. Feet were sooo sore at the end of this pitch.

6 22 25 Second

Really good. Best approached as an Araps style trad pitch with a couple of bonus bolts thrown in. Had to sit on a piece to retrive a well overcammed camalot.

7 25 30 Trad

Gob smacking position and stellar climbing up the tufa system. Stuck the span into the big grey tufa onsight, then it became a fine A0 ascent from there.

A spectacular day out. An absolutely brilliant route blasting directly up the wall.

What a ripper of a line! That sidepull into gaston crux is tough. Thanks Jacques for the tour!

Had a play, all moves free but nails 'ard. Lots of subtle body position details to link it together.

Mixed trad 130m, 13 Bungonia Gorge ★★ Very Good Mon 30th Oct 2023
The second pitch is fantastic. The first pitch is the price of entry

This route makes for a great day out when combined with 'Bunghole" to the left.

Lower crux felt fine, but linkage in the upper section was pumpy! 2 shots.

Trad 150m Blue Mountains ★★★ Mega Classic Sat 29th Dec 2018
A stellar route and quite achievable at the grade. Much less intimidating than the reputation that surrounds it. Solid gear and the carrots were "passable". Led pitches 1, 3 and 5 with Lee cruising pitch 2 and 4. A super duper fun day with no falls.

Would take a triples of 0.5, 0.75 and 1" camalot next time. #3 camalot optional and definitely don't need a #4.

A brilliant route, quite moderate climbing in an awesome, steep and exposed position. All pitches were excellent, the standout being the second. Make sure you save a #3 and #4 camalot for the belay at the top of the second pitch.

What a king line! Worked out that one has exactly 6.5 seconds in the finger lock before it slides out.

23 ★★★ Missing - with Gareth Llewellin Mixed trad 75m, 2 Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre ★★★ Mega Classic Sat 1st Oct 2022
Classic and varied. Best not to fall in one section on first pitch. Second pitch was fantastic, felt unlikely and took 2 attempts to figure out crux beta. 3rd pitch a cool roof in great position. Thoroughly recommended.

22 ★★ La Nina - with Heath Black Mixed trad 58m, 1 Blue Mountains ★★ Very Good Fri 4th Jan 2019
A very good outing. The start is stiff for the grade, like a hard Frog Buttress 22. I fell off it a couple of times and handed the line to tradgod Neilio After that it backs right off. Second pitch is a very nice corner then left wall. Didn't find it chossy or run out (contrary to other comments). Last pitch is fun and cruisy. Take a couple of yellow and red alien size cams for the first pitch.
