The Blue Mountains! Stiff ratings, carrot bolts, and great views...

Looking out over the valley in the Blues...

This was my very first crack climb. Very sweet flake.

Thats some nice exposure when you get out to the right side!

Pete Morris cruising the Blue Mountains classic 5.7 Tombstone Wall. Starting with a nice crack then finishing up a thin then face with great gear and a fantastic position make this a must do pitch. Photo by me.

As the sun sets Chris Jambs his way to glory on the three star 5.10a "The Eternity" pitch 1. Photo by Pete Morris.

I can almost smell the eucalypt trees looking at this photo it’s a great climb.

Here’s me pulling up onto some nice horizontal cracks. The only gear before you reach the carrot bots directly above.

Pulling past some wee baby gear on Helen. It’s worth doing but I would not make it your first choice.

Every Australian climber I talked to told me that Psychopath was a sand bag at 17. Every Australian climber I talked to didn’t know how to jam.

Here I am winding up to pull the crux on Tombstone wall, trying to remember not to kick out my first piece after I mantel up onto that ledge.

Pausing at a good rest, Yousef considers the second half, and crux, of Psychopath (17). Piddington, Blue Mountains, Sydney.

Yousef Murphy breaks down the anchor on top of Psychopath (17), with the more of Piddington rising from the trees in the background. Cliffs like these are a not uncommon sight in the Bluies.

Lovin every absorbing second of this amazing route!!!
