What a pumper! Stuffed up the onsight at the 5th bolt (low crux), but don't think I would have kept it together up high anyway. 2 attempts, all moves sorted.
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach	Sport 15m, 6	Nowra	★ Good	z_swander	Sat 12th Jul 2014
Very pissed that I fell off the second to last move. Shouldn't have left it to the end of the day.
	23	★★ Black Beddy	Sport 8m, 3	Nowra	★★★ Classic	z_swander	Sat 12th Jul 2014
2 shots, Got all the moves thanks to Rob. Hats off to anyone that onsights this route. Harder crux than Betty Blue?
	23	★★ Black Beddy	Sport 8m, 3	Nowra	★★★ Classic	z_swander	Sat 2nd Aug 2014
1 shot. Didn't feel strong today. The final throw hold is a lot worse than I remembered.

Stuck at crux and conditions could be better
	21	★★ Shifting Sands - with Brett and co	Sport 15m, 5	Nowra		Wuji	Sat 26th Apr 2014
Running out of time so came down after making it halfway up at the point where it got a bit harder.... Didn't make it to the crux. Likely above what I can do for the time being but would be good to try again.

Dogged to second bolt as start was insanely thin.

Nails thin. Just can’t get as much as you want on the crimps

Great 8 meter route that reminds me of my local Crag at Earlwood. Just could not stick the last move!! Got so close but couldn’t finish it. I’ll be back to send it.

Very burly start into a delicate reach for a crimp then squeeze fest to the end. loved everything about this climb.
	17	Kicking Dogs Balls - with Mike A	Sport 8m, 3	Nowra		Trevor Kettlewell	Sat 18th Oct 2014
Nasty 4-5m high first bolt on not that friendly start, then ugly, slippery holds stepping across and going up the flake. No rewards when you do something tricky, just more slopey nothingness.
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach - with scott	Sport 15m, 6	Nowra		Trevor Kettlewell	Fri 13th Feb 2015
Pretty cruisy til the 2nd last bolt...
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach - with douglas	Sport 15m, 6	Nowra		Trevor Kettlewell	Tue 4th Jul 2017
I like that this ends now without the old frightening traverse. But this time I could not even imagine how to do the last move, which I've done before. Sigh.

EOD - to fatigued to pull crux.
	24	★★ Silly Putty	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Tom	Mon 27th Jul 2015
Really good climb - should get done more! One rest. Almost got the onsight but messed up the sequence post crux with no chalk on the route. Jumped straight back on and through to the top. Great one to try to onsight! Sustained wierdness
	26	★★★ Still Life With Chalk Bag	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Tom	Tue 28th Jul 2015
End of day shot. Terrible decision! Fell onto the ledge from the second bolt, then pulled on almost every bit of gear to the top, swearing all the way up. Somehow managed to drop a draw among the grovelling too.. Great nowra anti-style climbing though! Will have to get back on it with more energy.

	23	★★★ Still Life - with Jarrad Humphry, Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell	Sport 10m, 4	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Tarac9	Sat 27th Apr 2024
Fun moves, definite rope assistance to try. Too powerful a move around arete to top.

Looks much easier from the ground. Crimps getting thinner the higher you go. Slapped next to the anchor and got nothing but a whip.... several times

Project. Reachy and hard but I'm really determined to do this. Made it to the 3rd bolt.
	23	★★ Black Beddy	Sport 8m, 3	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 8th Aug 2016
Fell off going for the anchor on Onsight. Had a bit of a play on the last move, but I wasn't here for this and daylight was running out. Mostly finger-jugs the whole way, but for the last 2 moves... which were PUNCHEEEE.
	25	★★ Tickled Pink	Sport 10m, 4	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 14th Aug 2016
Never stuck the last move to the anchors before I got sick of taking the swinging whip at the end of the day. I enjoyed the climbing, and I'll definately come back when fresh and in the shade. The 3rd bolt is in a Totally hollow flake about 1inch thick (????!!!!), and the 4th bolt should be about 2ft left to be on the fall-line (the swing part of the whip is totally unnecessary).

Pretty sandbagged for an 18. Super thin down the bottom, terrible feet and tiny nothing crimps. Didn't want to waste precious skin on something that seemed rather average.

I had my climbs around the wrong way. Went for the onsight, couldn't move past the 5th bolt

	23	★★ Black Beddy - with Flick	Sport 8m, 3	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Mat Horne	Sun 10th Mar 2019
Not as set as I should've been to clip the second bolt... Could've been ground bound worst case scenario. And didn't have any power left to pull on the crimps from above the 3rd bolt. Cool climb, but most moves are near or beyond my limit.
	23	★★★ Still Life - with Flick	Sport 10m, 4	Nowra		Mat Horne	Fri 19th Jul 2019
I was tied in and on belay for about an hour on this one. Much to my belayer's chagrin (thanks Flick!), I continued to fall trying to stick the move to the second bolt... Stuck it on probably like the 13th go, and by then it felt fine. Ambled way to top, but failed to clip anchors. Doooooooo'able, maybe. Requires patient belayer to catch me as I fail, and fail, and fail.

Going direct is a boulder problem harder than 22. Using the crack probably grade 18 but not as nice line.

Could not figure out between bolt 1 & 2, probably not a great warmup either
	23	★★★ Still Life - with Dick, Eugene Mak, Andreas Knecht	Sport 10m, 4	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Marco de Jongh	Sat 5th Jun 2021
After a lot of falling and trying I found silly beta that seemed to work for me between bolt 1 & 2. I find that move actually not that hard by hugging the arete and using the slopey crimp. So tired from all the trying that I stopped at the 4th bolt. Keen to come back fresh
	24	★★★ Betty Blue	Sport 20m, 6	Nowra		Magdalena de la Torre	Sat 22nd Sep 2018
Now my foot slipped! Gonna blame it to the 27C heat!
