Description

A black and orange streaked wall at the turning point of the cliff line. Routes are described from right to left.

Access issues inherited from Tianjara Falls

BOLTING IS BANNED to the left (south) of the lookout and 100m right of the lookout as this is National Park land. Please avoid climbing on the cliff directly under the lookout, not only will you probably get a rock or beer bottle thrown at you from the tourists, you'll also attract unwanted attention from the authorities! Do not build new rock cairns - apparently there is an $11,000 fine if you do.

Approach

Walk further around and scramble onto a large ledge where the cliff changes direction. If you have approached from the top or can't find the descent gully, there is a rap point just left of the outer vantage point and accessed via a small gully on the left. Absiel down Damn You Custardo.

Ethic inherited from Illawarra and Shoalhaven

Lots of bolts in this region. Most development has been done after the 1980s.

History

History timeline chart

A nubmer of the routes here stared off life as trad or mixed routes but most have since been rebolted.

Start: On Ledge 2m left of DYC.

FA: Bob Macmillan & John Lattanzio, 2009

Start at obvious crack feature. Wind your way up the wall topping out. Crossed by many bolted routes now. Such is progress trampling over the heritage of the trad climber.

FA: Graeme Hill & R Chunder, 1978

Middle of the wall 8m left of DYC.

FA: Bob Macmillan & John Lattanzio, 2009

Start up FI and traverse left to next line of fixed hangers to exit right onto ledge.

Start: As for 'First Impressions'

FA: Glen Jones & Bob Macmillan

Long ramble, first crux at one third height then fun climbing to top crux in brilliant orange rock. Start at far left hand of ramp at the belay bolt.

FA: Tanya Greeves, 2010

A pleasant adventure. Left hand route on the black wall. As for First Impressions. Follow the line of fixed hangers just right of the empty space and finish up on the nose and easy ground above. Take some medium to large cams, double rope handy to reduce drag.
