Great problem with a bit of height. Finicky start, beautiful laybacks, followed by a committing but juggy top-out

★★★ The crack
![]() | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 17th May 2009 | |||
Too hard to pass this attractive chunk of granite. Sun exposed + juicy arete + high top-out = excellent way to warm the fingers up for a day out at Gara

Hard, interesting traverse, perhaps ran a little smoother before some 'Galah' ripped off a bomber hold.

★★★ Quickdraw roof
![]() | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sat 17th Jul 2010 | |||
Sketchy drop to the 'little tooth of death', but it only motivates you to finish. Sequency, crimpy, heel hooking, smearing, and a mantle to boot - Its all here

If you want mantle and hand foot match practice then this one's for you. Oh, and take a pad.

★★ Spider Monkey
![]() | Beulah | ★★ Very Good | Fri 6th Apr 2012 | ||||
Yes the flake will hold you (unless crowbarred off). Really cool route, bit of heel action too. Nice find Alan.

V6 |
★★★ Power Monkey SDS
![]() | Beulah | ★★ Very Good | Mon 16th Apr 2012 | ||||
Reachy. Privileged to climb it pre-flake removal. Another sweet route on the power boulder. Will try the sit start next year.
|

V3 |
★★ Socially just fucker
![]() | 8m | Beulah | ★★ Very Good | Fri 6th Apr 2012 | |||
Really cool low traverse, a little sequency before a rest on the vertical line. Delicate finish.

V3 |
★★ Rhys's crack
![]() | 3m | Beulah | ★★ Very Good | Fri 6th Apr 2012 | |||
It wants to be climbed but until you get you feet in the right place it wont happen. Once sequence is unlocked its a route to run up and enjoy.

V4 |
★★ Razor Light
![]() | 2m | Beulah | ★ Good | Sun 18th Mar 2012 | |||
Sharp, no back jamming, just one massive cruxy reach for your left hand (unless you do what Carol does and heel hook like spider lady)
|
||||||||
V6 |
★★★ Vulcanology
![]() | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sun 22nd Apr 2012 | |||
Awesome sequence on the rail, good stuff up top, linking the two isn't pretty but damn fun - Doin the worm!

★★ Light up my chimney
![]() | 10m | Beulah | ★★ Very Good | Sun 8th Apr 2012 | |||
And a close second ascent please. Only did it so Brendan would stop giving me slack for forgetting his esky.....A neat climb. Might want to take some mats into the cave for crossing the void. Climbing shoes are also a recommendation.

★★★ Bus driver traverse
![]() | 7m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sat 19th May 2012 | |||
Worked all the moves for a bit and then went on a sending train with Nathan and Alan. A bit of everything, slopers, crimps, jugs, crystals, heels and palms, not to mention a classic crotch thrutch compression (oldie but a goodie). Oh and watch your dab. Do chalk bags count?

V3 |
★★ Bus Driver
![]() | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sat 19th May 2012 | |||

![]() | 5m | Stonehenge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 1st Jul 2012 | |||
Sweet problem with great moves and a high ball to boot. Awesome pulling of tiny crimps in order to head right into the void where you soon realise all the holds are gone.....hold in there, breathe deep and go high.
|
||||||||
V5 V4 |
★★★ Cliffhanger (NE22)
![]() | 5m | Stonehenge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 1st Jul 2012 | |||
Sharp right moves, reachy left side-pull, pocket and crimps. Cut sick on the lip, there's plenty of good stuff to finish.

V2 |
★★ S1 - The Mushroom (S1)
![]() | Stonehenge | ★★ Very Good | Sun 1st Jul 2012 | ||||
Interesting little rock with some fun features on the nose. Great open hand slopers - no wonder Todd loves it.

![]() | 3m | Mt Yarrowyck | ★★★ Classic | Sat 21st Jul 2012 | |||
Great route sent with the aid of some glorious wintery friction. avoid the finger shredding crystal cluster high and left and go straight for the juicy crimp just above them.

Good fun. Must at least touch the 'sharpest Mono in the world' on the way through even if you don't weight it - and you wouldn't want to.

V6 |
★★★ Mergatroyd
![]() | 3m | Mt Yarrowyck | ★★★ Classic | Sun 29th Jul 2012 | |||
Great climb. A little compressiony, sequency, and a good excuse to use your heels.
|

V3 |
★★★ Whitegoods with a view
![]() | 5m | Mt Yarrowyck | ★★ Very Good | Sun 29th Jul 2012 | |||
Sketchy fall (if you were to fall to the right), take a bunch of pads and go for it. The right arete is better than you think, and jug at the top is very rewarding. Doesn't finish there though.
|
||||||||

★★ Thunderbolt crack

★★★ Two face
![]() | 6m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sun 2nd Sep 2012 | |||
Very cool and very high, pad-up for this one. Jug on the rail (complete with garden) is juicy, here you can afford a rest and shake out before throwing your left foot on the rail, searching out the high left crimp and even higher juicy right pocket.
|
||||||||
V4 V3 |
★★★ Face Jump Start
![]() | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 2nd Sep 2012 | |||
Finally hung around at the lip long enough to send it. A really slow thought out mantle was all it took. Not much at the top but slopers have plenty of friction. Good pad placement is essential.

Another crack. Got the chip again (I wonder how long that chip will last) and then didn't know what to do with it....Must put some effort into taping fingers, BD isn't getting any less sharp!

★ Carls Dream
![]() | Mt Yarrowyck | ★ Good | Sun 17th May 2015 | ||||
A very techy number for the grade (Which I thought was more like 3 or 4). Balancy, reachy, poor feet and small crimps. Maybe I was missing something.....

★★★ The West Face
![]() | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sat 16th Jan 2016 | |||
This just looked a bit silly at first. Okay holds to a point and then nothingness beyond. After a few flailing attempts Dr. Phil uncovered a new footer which I found to be quite useful. After plenty of psych I followed Al on the send train, but only just - the difference between sticking the finish and not was a couple of mm's of my middle finger pad. Good times!
