West
Janali is a great example of a 'local' cliff - extremely short, super easy access and every bit of worthwhile rock has been climbed over. You could climb every good route here in an hour if you are keen. The cliff has insanely short access (under a minute) and top-ropes are easy to setup along the top of the cliff. The crag gets afternoon sun. The cliff does seep a little in places and doesn't receive a lot of traffic - the worst routes here are some of the worst routes in Sydney.
Access issues
Allowed
There are suburban houses right above the left side of the cliff-line. Keep your noise down and park your car with some thought to the locals who live here.
Approach
Flat
<5 min
Park at end of Taft Place in Jannali and walk down fire trail next to giant water pipe for 40m. Scramble down right and hook back under the scrappy cliff line to arrive at 'Mystery Climb'.
History
Paul Wheeler and Dave Barnes bolted the first routes here in the mid 90s. Two decades later Neil Monteith added three other routes in between baby birthing duties.
