Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Pierces Pass Walls Lookdown
	25	★★★ I Have a Dream	Sport 50m, 13
I feel this should have gone.. Made a silly foot work mistake after the first crux and fluffed the sequence. Brief sit on the rope and clean through next crux to anchors. Such pleasure to just hang out here and climb this again.

	20	★★ Bosch Imperialist - with Peter	Sport 28m, 12
	23	★★ Mills and Boon - with Peter	Sport 30m, 9
The style of climbing at this crag and the structure of the rock made for some of my most enjoyable climbing iv ever done.. I actually prefer this to much of the sandstone style.. big statement.. But it's the feeling it gave me
	21 22	★★★ Arga Noah - with Peter	Sport 28m, 10
Onsight attempt smashed me a bit.. crux felt more 23ish the way I did it haha Don't think my extra hight helped. Sent next go.. Still streno

	23	★★ Tracksuit Time Warp	Sport 12m
Bouldery, got spanked! Did this bolt to bolt lol
	24	★★ Strange Behaviour	Sport 15m, 7
Pretty good route!! Steep and punchy. Intimidating lead.. As you really dont want to mess up while clipping cos you'll probably hit a ledge.
	24	★★ Communal Spoon	Sport 15m
Really cool 24. With a hard punchy finish. Was exausted by this time and just pulled on the rope (seconding) to get to anchors.
Mon 8th Feb 2021 - Vaucluse
Diamond Bay Northern Wall
	24	★★★ Violet Town - with Peter	Sport 18m, 8
Excellent route!! Spooge was at max level today.. On shore wind was blowing over a constant mist. Managed to do the crux clean.. But by the time I ready to send with beta all dialed, 7pm, I was just too weak to finish the pocket pulling sequence. Such a well chipped and enjoyable route!!
	22	★★ Acute What - with Peter	Sport 18m, 8
Cool positioning and a few really nice moves!! but several of the pockets were a sandy spoogy mess.
Mon 8th Feb 2021 - Vaucluse

Clean

Thu 28th Jan 2021 - Point Perpendicular
Bayside Gushing Blood Area
	21	★★ Bandit Boy - with Dan	Sport 12m, 6
Excellent route! 3 stars from me. It's a tricky one at the grade
	22	★ Sandblaster - with Dan	Sport 12m
Horrible rock.. sandy af and grates your skin. It's actually got some cool moves in it but not worth the effort.
Tue 19th Jan 2021 - Mount Buffalo
The Gorge - South Side Angels' Buttress
	17	★★★ Where Angels Fear to Tread - with Tomas 1 17 50m 2 16 40m 3 17 50m 4 17 45m 5 10 45m	Trad 230m

Tue 19th Jan 2021 - Mount Buffalo
The Cathedral
	17	★★★ Maharajah Flake Start - with Tomas	Trad 10m
Did the flake start cos it looked better
	17	★★★ Maharajah - with Tomas 1 17 42m 2	Trad 42m
P2 only
	21	★★ Huns Don't Cruise - with Tomas	Unknown 10m, 2
2 carrot bolts. Probably still a "safe"lead.
	20	★★★ Sultan - with Tomas 1 20 65m 2 3	Trad 65m
Amazing little multipitch!! Granite trad seems to always offer me a good challenge.. barely got through p1 clean on second 😅. P2 got exciting too just before the carrot
Thu 14th Jan 2021 - Arapiles
Atridae Agamemnon Area
	15	★★ Necrophilliac	Trad 25m
Good warm up for the wizzard
	20	★★★ Wizard of lce	Trad 35m
Came back in the morning to settle things and it went. Smoother but sill far from smooth. Very unique style, an intamate full body experienc🤪. Lots of good gear. Double in friends 0.5-1. Rest singles + nuts.
	20	★★★ Wizard of lce	Trad 35m
Today really felt like I climbed "the beauty and the beast" first kachoong.. Then this daunting piece of work. I knew it was going to be a challenge and it sure delivered. Waited for conditions to "cool" at 8pm. Onsight attempt made it all the way to finl moves out of the second crux but then slipped out. In a sweaty mess gasping for air hahaha a different style to most of what iv climbed.. Strenuous but somehow satisfying afterwards
Thu 14th Jan 2021 - Arapiles
Northern Group Kachoong Area
	21	★★★ Kachoong - with Bert B	Mixed trad 25m, 1
Finally.. Got on this after seeing many photos over the years.. Such a beautiful line in a beautiful position on beautiful immaculate rock
Thu 14th Jan 2021 - Arapiles
Atridae Agamemnon Area
	19	★★ Telemachus - with Bert B	Trad 35m
Classic! This is a great trad route!
Thu 14th Jan 2021 - Arapiles
Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Gully Organ Pipes Gully Right Side
	19	★★★ Lemmington	Trad 30m
Very good! Not a hell of a lot of climbing for all the hype though. Personally felt telemachus was better.
Thu 14th Jan 2021 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Right Watchtower Face
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Bert 1 12 25m 2 14 20m 3 16 18m 4 16 32m	Mixed trad 95m, 3
This was really good! Kept me on my toes quite a bit too. Linked p1+2. Nice shade mid summer. Polish and interesting for sure at times.
Sun 10th Jan 2021 - Arapiles
Fang Buttress and Surrounds Major Mitchell Gully Morfydd Wall
	19	★★★ Morfydd	Trad 30m
So nice to touch this rock again almost 4 years since my first araps visit. TRS Onsight. Easy access and shady, Gear looks great
Fri 8th Jan 2021 - Cape Raoul
	18	★ Rain Of Terror	Trad 30m
Scrambled up and finished with a mantle to the ledge at base of a hand crack. I'm pretty sure we somehow just skipped some of this pitch by scrambling up steep on the left hand side, and then extended the "jihad pitch" which just seemed like the obvious thing for us at the time. Geared up on the ledge and jammed up the hand crack then trending left, for 40-45m, passing a set of rings) ((which may have been the top anchors of "rain of terror )) but it worked out real good for us.
	16	★ The Wedding Cake Return Pitch	Trad 35m
There was a static rapp line in place so just clipped a micro traxion on and smashed this out. A very worthy pitch to climb on your way back!! Start on RHS and up, towards the top at about 2/3 hight do an airy traverse left then up to the anchors
Thu 7th Jan 2021 - Cape Raoul
	22	★★★ Pole Dancer - with Tomas 1 16 40m 2 22	Mixed trad 40m, 12
Round trip car to car was just over 13 hours with 2 parties of 2. Everyone was efficient and the parties gave each other space to work. The pole is in a spectacular position, good rock with perfect friction. Felt easier than the 22 on moai pole so was nice to bag this one quick, get a selfie at the top, and smash out the return journey hahah there are 2 bolts at the top of the 8m chimney. So if one doesn't want to solo it, you can fix a short rope, rapp it, then use your micro trax or whatever and top-rope-solo it out. The 5m chimney needs to be soloed I think..
	8	★★ Route from Wedding Cake to Cape	Trad 300m
This is adventure scrambling and chimney-ing at its best. Several no fall zones made this exciting
	18	★★ Jihad - with Tomas	Trad 30m
This is a total bad ass and classic pitch imo!!! The descriptions doesn't really add up though.. And surely this should be 3 starts! So.. We got to base of rock, scrambled steep/soloed up on the left to finish with a mantle to a ledge and the base of a hand crack. Geared up and did a ±44m pitch passing a set of rings to the anchors at top, which are recessed from view 2m left of the obvious ones that you can see. Intimidating at times, long, some technical gear placement and just super sick! 6th day in a row climbing for me so this pitch keept me on my toes. It's more like 45m long, not 30?! Gear: Full set nuts, single set cams .4-.75, Doubles in #1, 2,3 was perfect for me. It could have taken a few extra pieces, especially in the larger sizes 1-3 friends.
Wed 6th Jan 2021 - The Paradiso
	22	★★ Sponge Bob - with Tomas	Sport 12m
	23	★★ Super Charger - with Tomas	Sport 20m, 10
	25	★★★ Retrograde Amnesia - with Tomas	Sport 35m
Such a sick route!! After 30m of climbing the anchors are still guarded by an awsome delicate technical stemming foot sequence that required several moves in perfect sequence to pass.
	22	★★ Amnesia - with Tomas	Sport 25m, 10
3 starts from me
	21	★★ Man's Machine - with Tomas	Sport 32m, 10
excellent long warm up
Tue 5th Jan 2021 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Central Buttress
	20	★★★ Space Cowboy - with Tomas	Trad 30m
Super fun long pitch in an awesome position!
	18	★★★ Battle Cruiser - with Tomas 1 18 25 2	Trad 25m
P1 only. Then linked in to space cowboy. The crux moves were airy and exciting
Sun 3rd Jan 2021 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Bulging Buttress
	22	★★★ Heat Pump 1 18 15 2 22 25	Sport 40m, 12
Such an awesome second pitch! And was so happy to be clipping some bolts again after a few days at Ben lomond.
	18	★★★ Black Magic	Trad 55m
Done in 1 long pitch. Really good and sometimes quite thought provoking for the grade.
Sun 3rd Jan 2021 - Ben Lomond
Northern Escarpment Robin's Buttress
	19	★★★ Ramadan	Trad 80m
Mega classic . A long technical sustained testpiece at 19! Full tripple rack does it. This felt more like a journey than a pitch of climbing.. Finger locks, hand jams, fist jams, layback, stemming.. The full package! What an amazing route! Rapped after p1 (40m). Flash because I saw some one on it although I climbed it very different so more of an onsight really.
	18	★★★ Rajah	Trad 80m
Classic. Beautiful jaming, Linked p1+2 (±40m) then rapped off. Gear beta: p1 4x#2, p2 4x#3 would make it nice and comfortable. Doubles in the rest.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta 1 17 90m lead by Roman 2 lead by Roman 3 lead by Roman	Trad 90m
Classic
	19	★★★ Rondeau	Trad 80m
Mega classic! This thing is a beast!! 50m pitch then rapped off. Nothing too technical but long and brutal towards the top. Never carried so much gear for a singl pitch. Double/tripple in the smaller to medium cams.. Quads for #2/#3, 2x#4. Make sure to pull the rapp rope knot far down and out of the crack before rapping down and then pulling it, as it will get stuck in the crack at top!
Tue 29th Dec 2020 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Alchemy Wall
	21	★★★ Alchemy - with Greg Blachon	Trad 25m
One of my more satisfying trad leads. The crux felt super technical, some holds felt damp and slippery.. Had to up and down climb in to the crux several times to figure it out.. Probably also placed gear in the finger locks I needed.. But didn't see many options. Pure happyness when it finally came together.
	19	★★ Coolibah Crack - with Greg Blachon	Trad 20m
Solid warm up!
	19	★★★ Walking the Plank - with Greg Blachon	Trad 25m
All the cracks on the wall were damp inside which made things even more excitng. Great technial finish on this.
	19	★★★ Blue-eyed Blonde - with Greg Blachon	Trad 25m
Nothing's a give away on this wall!
Mon 28th Dec 2020 - Freycinet National Park
Hazards Cliffs Star Factory
	23	★★★ Antimatter	Sport 25m, 9
Wow.. What a beautiful line!! Couldn't ask for more really. Draws were up
	26	★★★ The Reason	Sport 20m, 6
not my cup of tea and would have to donate too much skin for this to go.. Stick clipped past bolt 6/7.. Some hard sharp crimping
	21	★ #Hikin Bikin	Sport 12m, 6
Short but sweet, enjoyed this
Sat 26th Dec 2020 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
	20	★★★ Sky Rocket - with Nikhilesh Sharma 1 20 15m 2 45m	Trad 60m
Total classic trad route! Absolutely loved the long second pitch, lots and lots of good gear all the way up (except right at start, which took just 1/2 ok-ish nuts, this also happens to be a bit of a crux so make sure your well clipped in to the belay system): gear beta: Full set of nuts mandatory, 1x0.3, triple of 0.4-0.5, Doubles of 0.75 and 1. P1 belay took 1x#2, 1x0.75 and a nut. Note: p1 is isn't 15m, more like 10m, and ends where it's still easy to escape over to the right for p2.
	24	★★★ In Flagrante Delicto - with Nikhilesh Sharma	Sport 50m
TRS, p1 around 3rd bolt felt a little desperate.. Sat in rope several times to figure it out.. And still didn't really get that move clean! The rest of p1 was doable and super sick climbing.. Didn't take any rest at anchors and straight in to p2 which was all clean onsight. P2 is excellent! In comparison to "after midnight" it felt like 3rd bolt had a bit of a show stopper move for me (maybe just didn't read it well) therefore not quite as good and harder too. All in all and excellent technical arete route!
Fri 25th Dec 2020 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Flange Buttress
	24	★★★ After Midnight - with Nikhilesh Sharma, Greg Blachon	Sport 50m
Mega classic - 50 metres of technical arete awesomeness!!! best Xmas present I could have given myslef with a flash yeeeew
	22	★★★ Neon God (Neon God P1) - with Nikhilesh Sharma, Greg Blachon 1 22 25m	Sport 25m
P1 only. Really good technical crimping at start! Felt hard.. Almost came off
	18	★★★ Digitalis - with Nikhilesh Sharma, Greg Blachon	Trad 62m
Done in 1 long pitch.
Wed 23rd Dec 2020 - Fortescue Bay
The Totem Pole
	25	★★★ The Free Route - with Greg Blachon	Mixed trad 65m, 8
P2 only. Amazing long pitch of climbing in a really unique position!! Took 2 falls at the same spot about 1/3 way up. Right foot was just placed wrong, sorted foot beta out and all clean to top. Gear beta: Right off the belay one or two cams behind flake (0.3/0.4/0.5) to protect till first hanger. After the row of hangers #2cam on left, then one more hanger. (foot beta: just after big prominent triangle hold, right foot onto arete not lhs face)
	24	★★★ Deep Play - with Greg Blachon	Mixed trad 20m, 6
Great route! Happy with an onsight although felt like it could be more on the 22/23 side, or I just read it well. Swing across with the rap rope was quite straight forward too and got it first go. Low tide meant everyone stayed dry. Small green WC #2 nut right off the belay was solid and backed up by a 0.2 cam. Several hangers then optional 0.5/0.75 cam at easy section to top.
Mon 21st Dec 2020 - Fortescue Bay
The Moai
	22	★★★ Blunt instrument/Burning spear P2 Link-Up - with Greg Blachon	Mixed trad 35m, 8
Came back in dry conditions for this one. Excellent and really technical at the top, solid for the grade.
Sun 20th Dec 2020 - The Paradiso
	22	★★★ Aquaphobia - with Greg Blachon, Nikhilesh Sharma	Sport 25m
EOD burn.. Had to fight for it.. Very technical.. Excelent route
