First trip to Bulahdelah

Well, I finally got up to the closest crag to my place which is called Bulahdelah. Bit of a hard one to spell huh. The place is pretty spectacular, there is a really big cave there. However, it is really really sharp. There is also another cave there called Fiegs cave. This is named after George Fieg, a famous climber within the climbing community for not only hard routes but also for his efforts in bolting and putting up his own hard routes. I on-sited a route called "Black Leg Miner" which is the classic 25 and also did "Fog Horn Leg Horn" a 27 second shot. This route was extended and down graded from 28 by the man himself, Justin Jefferson. There are a few uncompleted routes which still need to be put out of their misery here so stay tuned................

Blue Mountains


I finally got up to the Blue Mountains once again. Slowly getting my strength back, I went to Gateway the first day after warming up at Centenial Glen. I did the route "Gateway 28" 3rd shot. It is a little crimpy number but is a super cool route. The whole crag is really nice. The second day I went to boronia to throw a few laps as it was a hot day. The final day I caught up with Chris and had a surf in sydney.


Here is a photo of myself on Gateway.

The Brown Rooom

Well, I hit up the brown room today bouldering with Jason Piper. Had an ok session, I have started to train a little bit now so that probably helped. I did a second assent of Dan da Silvas "Rats cause broken brains" V9, its a total pumper boulder, I also did a few other easier blocks from V4 to V6/7 ish. Not a bad place but I was hoping for a full hard project to be inspired by, still was good to be back on the blocks. Thanks to JP for showing me some more semi local stuff.
Cheers.
