16 Gripping Yarn - with Deanna Smyth Sport 95m, 13 Classic
Anywhere else I'd call this "good," but a 3 pitch slab only an hour from Sydney? That's "a Classic."

Lots of fun. Recommended.

16 14 Set, Piece, Battle - with Deanna Smyth Mixed trad 50m, 8 Very Good
I'd go with the 2017 guidebook and call the second pitch 16.

Also... beware running the 2 piches together. My 60 metre rope just made it to the nearest manky tree as an anchor.

20 Home-made Gonad Gulliotine - with Deanna Smyth Sport 12m, 3 Classic
Yes, unexpected fun. ended up sitting on the rope on the crux, which took some "butt hopping" to get moving again.

 
18 Enough is Not Enough - with Deanna Smyth Sport 10m, 2 Good
Disturbed a nesting pigeon in the scoop below the lip. Would've skipped the climb if I'd known he was there.

 
Fri 18th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Narrow Neck Crags Southern Crag
13 Cave Climb - with Deanna Smyth Trad 50m Mega Classic
The tree for the first belay has been dead for decades & looks pretty brittle. I would recomend doing the direct start & going straight to the second belay. You can run the original start to the second belay, but there's a un-protected mid level traverse for the seconder.

Wed 30th Dec 2015 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Rhum Dhu
8 14 Shandy - with Deanna Smyth Mixed trad 99m, 6 Average
I made the same mistake Matt Short did.. The guide says Pitch 2 is "Up" then "left" so up and left I went. Some nice & some dodgy cam pockets, spaced a bit far apart. 1/2 way through the pitch I see the pitch 2 belay below & to my left. :0 Climbed diagonally to top of crack & pitch3/abseil chains. Getting up to the chimney looked unprotected on brittle rock, so we rapped to the pitch 2 belay & scramble off. NB: This climb is definately an 8.. maybe a 14 if you do the chimney.
