Blue Mountains Newnes Plateau Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area Bung Crag Surprise Wall
18 Blue Sky Mining Sport 29m, 14 Very Good Sun 14th Jul 2019
Quality climbing, especially the headwall at top. Excellent bolting up high. Varied engaging moves. Last couple of clips perhaps more 19 than 18 but very good.

17 F marks the spot Sport 13m, 5 Very Good Sun 14th Jul 2019
Interesting moves and balancy at times. Very cool. Again, just some friable edges near the top but obvious.

 
16 Science Friction Sport 13m, 5 Very Good Sun 14th Jul 2019
Nice movement, good bolting. Only a few friable edges at the top, but easy to pick. Worthwhile.

22 Sister Rosa Sport 18m, 8 Very Good Sat 18th Aug 2012
Definitely 22 with the broken hold. Sequence makes all the difference with the start, couldn't do it without that. Great mantle/pulling onto headwall moves.

23 Dictator in a Deerstalker Sport 9m, 4 Classic Sat 8th Dec 2012
Awesome awesome awesome. Some people don't like it, it's one of my favourites. Def 23 if you're shorter, amazingly it's not too hard with the right sequence, eh?

 
19 Sloper for Saddam Sport 15m, 3 Good Mon 3rd Oct 2016
Made it hard for myself 1st time... not bad. Can't believe I haven't actually done this one before.

Really great and in grade, even thought it's a bit overhung at the start. Technique will take 50% of the juice required out of this one

 
16 The Sisters of Fatima Sport 12m, 5 Very Good Thu 20th Aug 2015
18 Stormin Norman (Stormin Normin) Sport 12m, 4 Very Good Sat 18th Aug 2012
Really nice. Bouldery down low.

 
18 Stormin Norman (Stormin Normin) Sport 12m, 4 Very Good Sun 13th Oct 2013
Nice warm up, little bouldery off the ground then easier. In grade.

 
21 Friendly Fire Sport 12m, 4 Good Sun 16th Aug 2015
21 Friendly Fire Sport 12m, 4 Good Sun 13th Oct 2013
2nd shot. Thin and crispy in places, but in grade. All about the foot placements and trusting a couple of holds facing odd directions. Great rock, good climb.

 
21 Friendly Fire Sport 12m, 4 Good Sun 16th Aug 2015
22 Vasco Pyjama Sport 12m, 4 Good Sat 18th Aug 2012
One reachy move, can go up or left. Took a bit of figuring out.

Fair at 10, though bolts stupidly fair apart for a beginner lead - do Jug City or Fucary Rug instead.

12 Jug City Sport 15m, 3 Very Good Sat 25th Sep 2010
Almost confusing there's so many holds. Bit of a gap to anchors at top but easy moves. Long slings on top if you're gonna top rope, lip creates a lot of rope drag when lowering.

14 Fucary Rug Sport 15m, 5 Very Good Mon 25th Mar 2013
Great beginners lead, though 1st hanger is looking a little bent out of shape. Great moves, though provoking but in grade, lots of bolts. Only one carrot at top, have to share with a neighbouring climb. Not too big a deal as you have to walk off anyway and it's a very safe topout.

 
19 Shadow the Goat Sport 15m, 5 Very Good Sat 27th Oct 2012
Goooood, couple of strenuous moves at crux but nothing major if you sort your feet

Not as good as the 19 beside it but fun. In-grade.

 
20 Truancy Officer Sport 15m, 4 Very Good Mon 25th Mar 2013
Definitely only one hard move, and yes, softish for 20 but a genuine soft 20 if you're short. A first 20 to lead to more sustained 20's. Cool moves.

 
Blue Mountains Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Wet Feet Area
17 Wet Feet Sport 14m Classic Sat 26th Jan 2013
Unique, ironstone flake traverssy and partly bouldery climbing. Lovely and serene over creek. Can't believe I walked past it for so long...

22 SWALK Sport 25m Classic Sat 16th Mar 2013
Awesome climb, crux down low and then just balancy/pumpy to top through caves and breaks and winding sequences. Great!

 
22 SWALK Sport 25m Very Good Sun 1st Jan 2012
Did this a while ago. Great climb. Start is the hardest part then just keeping the pump down. Spectacular view from the top!

 
22 Extension Lead Sport 20m Very Good Fri 28th Dec 2012
Great climb, crimpy bouldery start then just sustained but not too hard for the rest of it. Really good fun!

 
21 Old Blobby - with Sam Clark, Lucy Rose Sport 25m Very Good Sat 23rd Dec 2017
Really good climb, crimpy start, then pumpy mega mega jugs you can almost get your whole arm in. Had to pull past a crimp my tender finger didn't like. Very enjoyable. Spaced bolting in a couple of spots with extra huge jugs.

 
20 Old Blobby - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 25m Very Good Fri 5th Mar 2021
Burly start which can be done moderately gracefully and quickly. Then very consistent moderate pump. Lovely to do the warmup I usually flash pump on clean and relaxed today

 
18 Soul Sister - with Sam Clark, Lucy Rose Sport 24m Very Good Sat 23rd Dec 2017
Quality route. Still really fun though some spaced bolts up high (lile the rest of the crag)

 
18 Soul Sister Sport 24m Very Good Mon 18th Mar 2013
Great climb, very in-grade just pumpy!

 
22 The Optimist Sport 24m Very Good Sat 16th Mar 2013
Really good climbing, crux down low then balancy jugs to top. Thought-provoking.

 
19 Absolute Zero Sport 23m, 5 Good Sat 26th Jan 2013
19 Terra Incognita Sport 18m Very Good Sat 26th Jan 2013
Really nice climb, pumpy but in-grade. Reeeeally spaced bolts though, bit scary at the top.

 
Blue Mountains Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer Shady Wall
17 The Learning Curve - with Sam Clark, Lucy Rose Sport 15m, 5 Very Good Sat 23rd Dec 2017
Lovely fun moves, spaced bolting and a worthy addition. Good warm up alternative. Still a fair amount of fragile rock and jugs with thin edges etc. Tread carefully, wear helmets but good climbing. Faces west same as Soul Sister, so shady in morning while much of the crag is awaiting 11am shade

 
Blue Mountains Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Railway Cliff
22 The Belles, The Belles Sport 30m Very Good Sun 17th Sep 2017
Great climbing in a beautiful location! Great to have it rebolted, though why it's 2 sets of bolts and not a linkup at the top doesn't make sense... great climbing and long!

24 Junction City - with Tom Collins Sport 27m, 13 Classic Sat 24th Jun 2017
2nd shot! Yeah baby!

 
21 Barefoot in the Head - with Adrian Kladnig Mixed trad 30m, 6 Very Good Sat 24th Aug 2019
We accidentally linked most of this into some of Pretty Boy Floyd. Either way, some very reachy carrots, having to pull on crimps with tiny feet to clip or unclip carrots.. just be aware. If you're 6ft2 you'll be fine. Good if occasionally burly climbing, burly mainly clipping bolts. Think I got it clean after falling at the start...

 
18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Classic Sat 24th Aug 2019
Amazing climbing, feels like superhero climbing for the grade up the arete over space. Took a couple of goes to get the start on top rope, but later watched others do it much more gracefully... if unsure, you can always traverse in from the ledge, get 1st cam in, then start again

 
Blue Mountains Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Cosmic County The 39 Steps
21 Colditz - with Tom Collins Sport 28m, 11 Very Good Sat 8th Jul 2017
Great climb, if sharp and thin. Rather than 0.75 cam in Blue Mts guide, 0.5 cam much better placement in the same break (really obvious). Crispy fingertips that's for sure but a great piece of rock.

 
19 I'd Rather Be Sailing - with Adrian Kladnig Mixed trad 28m, 6 Very Good Tue 4th Aug 2020
Hard non-19 start move, then bloody great. Spaced bolts but safe falls. Nicer on the rope to rap off, but not too bad.

 
19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Very Good Sun 17th Sep 2017
Found more gear placements this time and Sean found an extra one... not so runout at the bottom now but still a long way between up high... though there's a break for a 4/5 cam up top.

 
19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Very Good Sat 26th Aug 2017
Bouldery start but only first 3 moves... then very 17ish and lovely. We only had a #4 cam and that was manageable if slightly heady without more gear. Great climbing. Fun and a good warmup. Stickclip and batman past first metre of climbing if you want 17 warmup.

 
16 Xerxes Sport 30m Very Good Sat 16th Sep 2017
Nice climb, rusty carrots are passable but in need of replacement. Loweroffs instead of carrot belay on a dodgy ledge anyone? Only one wire up high, mostly just carrots.

18 Slip, Snap, Splash. - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 30m, 15 Very Good Fri 26th Jun 2020

22 Seamstress - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 22m, 10 Classic Mon 22nd Jun 2020
A long time after my first flail ont his, sent it today with a flaming pump at the top. Really good climbing and engaging the whole way with a lie down rest before the crux. Very on point for the grade.

22 Daffy - with grace mackie Sport 20m Classic Thu 25th Jan 2018
Lovely to be back on this awesome climb. One of the best 22s out there.

 
22 Daffy - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 20m Classic Mon 22nd Jun 2020
Repeat, clean (just). Such a good climb, so much pump!

 
22 Daffy Sport 20m Classic Sun 2nd Oct 2016
One of the better 22s I've ever done. Really great route, pumpy, but no individual hard moves. A few ways to approach the crux.

 
21 Duck Tits Sport 16m Very Good Thu 25th Jan 2018
Lovely climbing and easier and less run out than the 20 next door...

17 How Much Is A Duck Worth - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 15m Very Good Mon 22nd Jun 2020
What a great climb! One of everything. A few friable edges but nothing major. Now with an extra bolt to allow lowering off before the headwall if it's wet.

Surprisingly good and with less loose rock than climbs further left. Just some surface slough from some scrabbling feet. Fun and interesting with slightly overhung jugs at the top.
