Rod Smith and Gus Davidson pose amid the glorious surrounds of the Frenchman's Cap prior to their ascent of Tierry Le Fronde, a six-pitch arete climb on the cap's Tahune Face.

Stylin' on second Gus Davidson tackles the crux of Trickles.

Visiting UK climber Roger Austin styles on the sandstone of Trickles at Narrabeen Slabs in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney.

Sweet Dreams is a five-pitch easy trad route with an airy 25m-traverse and a variant finish that bumps the grade from 13 to 17. It's perfect for teams of three but it's a classic so get in early. Picture by Hayden Brotchie.

Despite its mid-grade this overhung face/crack climb sorts out many pretenders. The number 5 Camalot on Niall's rack came in very handy for the otherwise runout top. (Obviously this isn't the overhung part).

Niall Doherty onsights the varied route that is Backtrack (20). The route is at Nowra, south of Sydney, Australia.

A well bolted, some say over bolted, route up a beautiful piece of sandstone that looks like an ocean swell. A climb for footwork, not hauling.
