Ben at Narrabeen Slabs

It was afternoon climbs on NYE after fixing Ben's flat tyre.

Quick Fang Down the Parkway, 10m, grade 18.

 

on main wall Manic, 17m, grade 17. I think the grade is right.

Then we went on Technical Short Talk, 12m, grade 18, which has a big scoop underneath 1st bolt. I could not make it on site today. I should have known by sight how tall I am.

Our sweat was washed off at a beach nearby.

Michael Schwarz at Medlow Bath

Friday 17th December 2010












Sport grade 20, 12m, called Radioactive Man at Kaboomba Brothers Area in Medlow Bath. Michael is preparing to lead this beautiful wall with color of orange, which means that the wall has not much chance of being wet since its born. The most of that reason is the angle of the wall is less than 90 degree which this pic cannot show.

I could not clean the 1st pitch of Stuck in the Middle with You (grade 19.)

From Medlow Bath

We topped out from Reservoir Dogs Area at 7.50pm, then hurried to the station with our harnesses on. While waiting our train for a couple of minutes the sky showed a beautiful sunset. 

Sandra's leading on Gently Mine, grade 14, trad

Mt Boyce, view from Wild is the Wind.

Sweet Dreams, December 2010

This 5 pitch, 117m route needs trad gear including cams, and some hangers for carrot bolts on the way and for most anchors. We were protected by Welsh Dragons gear on most of this route, as I couldn't find many bolts. It was the first time for me to use my own spring loaded device. They were very useful especially at the last pitch. 

FYI

Bullet Hole Wall at Berowra

As the name says there are so many machin-gun bullet holes.
This is IGCM, grade 19, thou its hard if you don't know how to move. You need to bring brush to clean. Lot of fun.

This is Looks Poxable, grade 21, has one finger pocket, two finger pocket, and three finger pocket ! ! its till grade 21. so need to work on footwork properly. Then i can go up. need to bring a brush. No way if its wet as its slippery even if its dry.

Noodle Wall in Mt York

This route has 3 consecutive kinda 1 finger cracks/pockets along the long winding crack on gray colour wall on left, right of orange streak.
I had one rest on my rope today, thou it was manageable
when I paid proper attention to my foot/toe. it still was sport grade 20.
Will clean it at the next visit. Monday 22nd November, 2010
