What When How to Train | Blue Mountains with Lee Cujes

GRIP FOCUS:

tiny incuts, horizontal edges

STYLE FOCUS:

bouldery face climbing

BEST CONDITIONS:

Spring and Fall

WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Crags are at an elevation of around 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and can be quite rainy. Humidity is usually pretty high (>70%) most of the time.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:

Stick clip. Stiffer/edging shoes for standing on small feet. A Flash board/Tension block/etc. can be useful at some crags that don’t have great warmups. A few crags require you to rap in and climb rungs (think via ferrata type) out so you’d want gloves and some sort of sliding rope grab device (like a Tibloc or Traxion).

SPECIAL SKILLS NEEDED AT CERTAIN GRADE LEVEL:

Being able to make deep lockoffs on small incut crimps can sometimes be the key to crux moves. Being able to stand on small feet is necessary no matter the grade.

Looking to climb on gorgeous streaky sandstone cliffs full of high-angled crimps? Look no further than the Blue Mountains, sport climbing mecca of the land down under, boasting thousands of routes.

Legendary Australian climber Lee Cujes spent more than 20 years taking trips to the Blue Mountains before eventually moving there, and now it’s been his local crag for nearly a decade.
