19 Orchid Alley Sport 90m, 17 Very Good Sun 21st Aug 2022
Hard around the 3rd bolt of pitch 1. Went right and found some slimey holds. Pitch 2 has a cruxy start but cruisy after that. Linke P2 and P3

18 Far from the Madding Crowd Sport 40m, 14 Very Good Sun 17th May 2020
Pitch 1 was very nice consistent slab climbing. Pitch 2 had some slightly harder slab moves at the start, then the first boulder problem was good but the second one was a tad more challenging with less positive holds above

Sport 110m Classic Sun 12th Nov 2017
Fantastic slab climbing with only a small number of crux sections on pitches 3, 4 and 5. For pitch 4 traverse out under the bolder on the left with a small but safe runout, then reachy second bolt. I combined pitch 4 and 5 with tree belay at top. Great for learning multi-pitch climbs as all the belays were super comfortable.

 
16 Gripping Yarn - with Phuong Ho Sport 95m, 13 Good Sun 18th Mar 2018
Second pitch is mentally tough with very few holds. Needs some more cleaning to make this more enjoyable. First and third pitches are good

Abseiled from the chain above the cave for a top belay to keep out of the sun and avoid walking down the loose scree. Really nice route in approach shoes. Would be nice to lead on gear

Australia New South Wales and ACT Central Tablelands Wolgan Valley Coke Ovens Cliff
14 Boulder Climb Trad 81m Good Sat 28th Sep 2019
P1 was quite good with adequate pro. A variety of moves including the odd jamb, layback, chimney and highstep. P2 was very poor with leaf and stick litter on sand with very little pro. Bailed from tree (60m rope doubled only reaches deck if you abseil back down to start of climb - not out left where the ledge falls away). P3 looked quite nice but will have to return for that one. Needed doubles of #0.75, #1, #2 and #3 with a #4 also. Would feel very safe with triples. Slings on trees at P1 and P2 are past their prime

 
14 Death-bed Confession Mixed trad 60m, 10 Good Sat 28th Sep 2019
Went left to tree at top of P2 and belay off 2 good fixed hangars. Then abseiled off tree to base using double 60m ropes
