Having a play since the rope was already up. Too much stretch to work on TR, will lead next time. Could make all the moves except two, but damn are they hard! Might invest time in this one.
|
||||||||
32 | ★★ Dr Strangelove | 14m, 6 | Lyttelton Rock | ★★ Very Good | Thu 15th Feb 2024 | |||
Still not able to make a couple of the moves. A lot turns on getting the heel to stick. Feels good to try something that feels on the edge of possible.
|
||||||||
32 | ★★ Dr Strangelove | 14m, 6 | Lyttelton Rock | ★★ Very Good | Sat 24th Feb 2024 | |||
Bit of progress today, have now made all but 2 moves. Need to find a way to make the heel stick.

V10 | ★★★ When Pigs Fly | 3m | White Rock Conservation Area | ★★★ Classic | Thu 28th May 2020 | |||
Couldn’t resist hanging a play when I saw how nice the crack is. This thing is way out of my pay grade, but a man can dream!
|
||||||||
V11 V10 | ★★ Hard arete | 2m | Cedar Creek | ★★★ Classic | Fri 12th Jun 2020 | |||
Stuck the first move in a relatively short amount of time, but the second feels cruxy to me. Aspirational, but maybe one day...
|
||||||||
V10 | ★ When Animals Attack | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | Sun 21st May 2023 | |||||
Made a couple of moves but well above my pay grade. Could be a decent project.

V9 | ★★★ The Plum | 4m | Toohey Forest | ★★★ Classic | Mon 11th May 2020 | |||
Think I got the feet sorted for the sit start, but damn, it's powerful! Other moves feel reasonable, but I didn't try the mantle.

Opening the account on this pumper of a line. Made basically all the moves albeit with much dogging and dabbing. Will be quite the task to link it all together.
|

30 | ★★★ Dracula | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Sat 18th Mar 2023 | ||||
Bottom section felt easier today but crux seemed harder. Will keep chipping away at linking moves.

V6 V8 | ★★ YIN | 3m | White Rock Conservation Area | Fri 1st Nov 2019 | ||||
Not enough friction in the alternating drizzle and sun today.

V8 | ★★★ Bane | 4m | White Rock Conservation Area | Fri 26th Jun 2020 | ||||
Did it in two pieces, but that missing link is hard. Need to find a better way to cut feet.
|

V8 | ★★★ Bane | 4m | White Rock Conservation Area | ★★★ Classic | Fri 8th Jan 2021 | |||
Got most of the moves sorted, including the crazy double toe hook start. Requires hands of leather and abs of steel!
|

V8 | ★★★ Bane | 4m | White Rock Conservation Area | ★★★ Classic | Mon 29th Mar 2021 | |||
It took all of my skin and some of my shoe Velcro, but I finally managed to get this one done today. Just in time for lockdown!

Got it all figured out minus one move, the high left heel. Will return in cooler conditions.
|
||||||||
V8 | ★★ Mr Miyagi | Waterfall Crag | ★★ Very Good | Fri 17th May 2024 | ||||
Very close to the send, but dabbed a foot on the cut loose move so can’t count it. Figured out some tricky beta that should help next session.
|
||||||||
V8 | ★★ Mr Miyagi | Waterfall Crag | ★★ Very Good | Mon 20th May 2024 | ||||
Possibly a touch easy with my beta, but it still took me 3 sessions so 🤷♂️. First go of the day, really fun moves.

Wow, what a king line! Climbed through to the headwall (with a few rests), and sorted out the moves on the traverse. Will be an aspirational project for me!

30 29 | ★★★ A Space Odyssey - with Michael C | 25m, 11 | Flinders Peak (limited access) | ★★★ Classic | Sat 30th Jan 2021 | |||

|

30 29 | ★★★ A Space Odyssey | 25m, 11 | Flinders Peak (limited access) | ★★★ Classic | Fri 12th Feb 2021 | |||

29 | ★★ Desperado | 30m, 12 | Flinders Peak (limited access) | ★★★ Classic | Fri 12th Feb 2021 | |||
Second look at this one, climbed clean from the ground through to the start of the traverse. Didn’t stick the dyno, but close. Keen!

Climbed through the crux clean but couldn’t clip. Went through to the anchors easily from there. Great value, some choss, and nicer than One Eyed.

Just couldn’t stick to the pocket today. Spoogy conditions and quite hot, especially the last shot in the sun. Need to return when cooler!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Steve 'Epic' Turner Memorial Route - with Ryan Siacci | 25m, 10 | Flinders Peak (limited access) | ★★★ Classic | Wed 3rd Mar 2021 | |||
First attempt felt terrible. Spoogy and poor concentration.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Steve 'Epic' Turner Memorial Route - with Ryan Siacci | 25m, 10 | Flinders Peak (limited access) | ★★★ Classic | Wed 3rd Mar 2021 | |||
Second shot felt nearly flawless. Rested well midway, fired the crux, skipped the clip at the pocket, locked myself into the corner and relaxed. Managed to get it all back and climbed easily to the chains. First of the grade, and a great line.

4th burn of the day, zero expectations and tired. Pulled on and everything felt flawless. Climbed the arête in fine style then proceeded to fall whilst setting the kneebar where the jugs begin. Had skipped 3 clips so took a massive whinger into space. So tragic, yet so much fun!

You rippa! Sinking the kneebar at the top of the arête while redlining was euphoric. Ranks among the most satisfying climbing experiences I’ve ever had. The perfect culmination to a cracker of a season in the cave, and to my years living in SEQ.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Aug 2021 | ||||
Opening the account on this stonker of a route. Amazing movement! Made all the moves to the penultimate bolt, just below the waterfall. Definitely need to refine some beta, but mostly need to be able to hang on!

29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 15th Aug 2021 | ||||
Made good progress today, sorting out heaps of beta and making it to the last draw below the lip. Top of the cave is still a waterfall, so didn’t make it to the anchor, but the rest of the route is coming together.

29 | ★ Kublai Khan - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Fri 21st Jan 2022 | |||
Pulled a few moves but feels a long way off. Basically a V8ish boulder problem.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Wed 9th Mar 2022 | ||||

|
||||||||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Tue 17th Jan 2023 | |||
Clearly need much more bouldering strength if I’m going to pull this one off.
|

29 | ★ Kublai Khan | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Thu 19th Jan 2023 | |||

|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Mon 23rd Oct 2023 | ||||

|
||||||||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Fri 12th Jan 2024 | |||
First time going all the way to the anchor, and figured out some key beta. Still need to sort out 2 moves, but it actually feels possible this year. Stoked!
|
||||||||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan — 4 attempts | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Sun 14th Jan 2024 | |||
Went from feeling like this thing is impossible to falling after the last hard move of the crux in one session. Game on!
|
||||||||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan — 4 attempts - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Fri 19th Jan 2024 | |||
Good progress today, very nearly got there. Wasted 2 goes with poor draw mgmt, which resulted getting my hand caught up in the rope on the crux move. 3rd and 4th go were both very close, and got past the hardest moves. Got a good chance at it next session I reckon.
|
||||||||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Sun 21st Jan 2024 | |||
Don’t know why, but still couldn’t make it happen today even after one hanging for the first time on the first attempt. Kept slipping out of the knee bar at the crux, despite the good conditions. Found an easier way to do the last move of the crux though, so all is not lost!
|
||||||||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan — 4 attempts - with Richard Flinn | 15m, 4 | Lyttelton Rock | ★ Good | Thu 25th Jan 2024 | |||
Finally slayed the mighty Kublai Khan, but not after punting off the top once! Turned out changing the shoes was the beta I needed to get it done. Only one hard route remains for me at Lyttelton now. Coming for you Dr Strangelove!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Tue 27th Feb 2024 | ||||
All moves made, even on the wet holds. Need to start making links now! Not sure if it feels close or far off, but stoked to start the journey.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Fri 1st Mar 2024 | ||||
To the chains with 3 sits, each time doing the subsequent moves first go after a rest. Need to start making more links, but the beta is pretty well dialled.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 2 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 3rd Mar 2024 | ||||
Body was pretty thrashed after the manual labour yesterday, but still managed to sort out some new beta for the bottom and top.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Thu 7th Mar 2024 | ||||
Excellent progress today. First time making it through the start crux, then climbed from there clean to the second last bolt. It’s on!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Wed 13th Mar 2024 | ||||
High point, to the end of the first crux. Continuing to refine beta, especially for the rests, but it’s basically game on now!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Tue 19th Mar 2024 | ||||
Good progress today. Managed my first proper one hang, despite feeling quite tired. Lots of subtle refinements, feels like it’s coming together.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Classic | Sat 23rd Mar 2024 | ||||
High point x2, falling at the last hard move of the second crux. Can’t get much closer and not send!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 4 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 3rd Apr 2024 | ||||
A dream come true! Started the day with zero expectations after feeling a bit of elbow tendinitis flare up, almost didn’t have a final burn as I needed to rush home to the family, then all of a sudden I was clipping the chains! Shifting to the left knee bar at the second rest was a game changer as I could actually recover properly before the back to back cruxes at the end. Beyond stoked to have completed this milestone in my NZ climbing career!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 4 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Wed 10th Apr 2024 | ||||
New project, first day on, already down to one hang! Won’t be a giveaway, but hopefully it’ll go down relatively quickly.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Sun 14th Apr 2024 | ||||
1 hang x3, twice latched the crux slot but couldn’t quite hold it. Sorted out better foot beta to make the throw. Should have a good chance next session.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 4 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Tue 16th Apr 2024 | ||||
Climbed through the crux twice only to punt off the top due to poor footwork. Trickier than expected to keep it together above the roof on red point. Still, very close!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Sat 20th Apr 2024 | ||||
Punted above the last bolt FML! Completely changed the beta for the top but by the 3rd attempt I was already too gassed. Taking a lot longer than expected to get this one done.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Thu 25th Apr 2024 | ||||
High point, punted off just below the anchor. Frustrating, but I think I may have sorted better beta for the top. Becoming a bit of a nemesis!
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 3 attempts | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Sat 27th Apr 2024 | ||||
Nemesis status confirmed.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th May 2024 | ||||
First go of the day, just needed to remember the for sequence to get through the roof. Felt almost as hard as Bogus to me, although the style is quite different.
|
||||||||
29 | ★★ Slurry | Barnett Park | ★★ Very Good | Thu 6th Jun 2024 | ||||
Went up to have a play and figured a few things out. Could be a contender for a winter project.

28 | ★★★ Threat Level Midnight | 20m, 11 | Esk | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Jan 2020 | |||
Hang dog lead attempt, then got it in two hangs on TR. Quite unique style for the grade for SEQ. Keen to return when it’s not 36 degrees and 1000% humidity.

28 | ★★★ Threat Level Midnight - with Cameron H, James Anthony | 20m, 11 | Esk | ★★ Very Good | Wed 23rd Sep 2020 | |||

Three solid burns today. Could have sent on any one of them, but the left hand just kept greasing off mid-crux. A bit of a heartbreaker day, but the bottom is really well wired now. It’ll go, just a matter of when.

Proper red point burn. Got it in 3 pieces, but recovering before the crux will be key. It’ll be better when it’s not 3600 degrees outside, surprise, surprise.
