Begehungen in North Shore von Brendon Flanagan

Thank you Australia Post for running late.

First ascent of the registered route. Fun problem for the beginners.

First ascent of the registered route. Fun problem.

First ascent of the registered route. This was the first problem to be put up for the redevelopment of the Original God's Country. Fun problem.

First ascent of the registered route. Quite a fun problem but the boulder needs more cleaning.

Easy problem with solid holds and footers.

Excellent problem. Solid holds.

An exceptional problem which has an amazing mantle beneath the obvious feature. A must for all bouldering at the crag. Excellent problem!

A great little warm up problem. Solid crimpers and footers, smearing action and ledges. Excellent.

Another problem art the crag that should be uped a garde. Excellent crimper work and a sensational mantle mid way. Great jug at the top out making it easy for a smearing exit.

More of a V1 than a V0. An excellent warm up problem.

As always a fun traverse to play on. Good for open palm work and finding footers you cant see.

Getting onto the problem is easy yet oh so fun! The traverse offers some well hidden holds for your fingers to slide into along with the use of the waist high underclings. Rounding the bulge offers some worthy footwork challenge to where the crux reveals itself. I can lower myself part way but how to hold it and continue the lower traverse to the end????? So far....EXCELLENT! Possible V4.

An amazing arête with solid jugs all the way to the top. Leaning back, test your holds, weight them and send the rock. You'll loose your spotter once you start the vertical but they can still put the pad beneath you. after watching GChris FA it I used the beta and finally finished it! Exciting problem for the grade it sits at.

What an exceptional problem! One of the finer ones Sydney has to offer. I'm not a fan of sit starts BUT I managed to start it with a funky left foot jam in the deep corner which worked really well. It looks like there's very little to use of the blank slab and funnily enough there isn't anything to use...Excet your imagination! Simply writing this log entry makes me want to head back and do it again! Manipulatin the wide break with a touch of balance to be able to step up was amazing! Love it!

Excellent start, fun little leap. Enjoyable mantle with a hairy and diecy top out. Bring your brass balls for this one!

Broke a footer off but only to reveal MORE rock. Ok problem with the challenge being the crossing if the void.

Hmmmm, easy enough to get to the bulge but how am I going to get over it? My right foots in a position under the bulge that won't allow me to get over the top. Problem solving time.

I haven't even FA'd this traverse yet and I've already given it a star! Balancy, trusting and highly satisfying.

Trying to figure out how to switch my hands around to make my way up to the arête. Tricky!

An amazing crack requiring a little twist to stabilise.

This is the 'easier' of the two variants. The holds are more evident and flow quite well.

Some more traffic is needed at this end of the boulder. The starting footers haven't been weathered that great so they're still falling apart with use. Condition of footers should be established after another 20-30 sends. Otherwise a great problem!

A great sit start for the boulderer who has never done one before. Solid holds, fun moves which make for a fun problem.

The hold you need to commit to may seem unsure at first but trust it and you'll make your way through the crux.

An amazing traverse that puts your feet to the challenge! Working your way through the scoop and then the top out over the knob really makes this traverse such a worthwhile send! Excellent challenge but make sure you've got your spotter and pads ready from the scoop onwards!

Nothing special about this problem at all. It was there so I put it up.

A fun problem and a good learning curve for the beginner boulderer wishing to advance their skills. Slightly overhanging with a easy and fun top out.

Got this FA on the third attempt. Lots of dirt and sand to clean off but all gone now. Almost worth a star, almost. Great holds, solid ledges, fun moves working your way up and down as you traverse along to the left. I even go to throw one of my trade mark heel hooks in to allow for a rest and dip my hand into my chalk bag. Really enjoyed this problem. A bit of a challenge for the feet as you cant really see what you're doing with them on occasions.

A warm up problem if repeated several times.

It may be a V1 but it offers a lot of fun! A great way to learn how to stabilise yourself by using your palms and knees. Offers a fun challenge for the developing boulderer and an awesome top out.
