18 | Spellbound
Start: Major crack line just left of corner. An old Thrutch (after 1972) mentions "a superb face crack" and has a photo of Greg Child on the second ascent, however Keith couldn't remember it when asked. This route may have been confused with another at Flying Fox. Crack is vegetated with ferns, and gets thinner higher up, and has one old carrot at a little roof about half way up. FA: C. Peisker, H. Luxford, J Lorinz & Keith Bell | 40m, 1 | Blue Mountains | ||
TFD

Major corner with several bushes sprouting from it just to the left of Street Legal.

The crack ranges from narrow chimney to offwidth and presents the opportunity for an old school epic. | 40m, 2 | Blue Mountains | |||
17 | Mystery Face
Face 10m left of Mystery Corner. Rock quality is a bit crap and it needs a brush. There are five old hangerless carrot bolts - one that has a bail biner fixed to it. Start up short corner crack (trad) then through small bulge (first bolt) and up face above past numerous bolts and some bomber medium/large cam slots. Double BRs on top but no way of walking off. | 40m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||

22 | ★★ Street Legal
The excellent major arete left of the bolted orange wall. Up the arete and wall carefully past the nose then up the slabby arete to a small ledge.

2020 | |||||
25 | ★★ Frankenstein
Just left of Running Gun Blues is this overhung orange wall with prominent flake feature in the middle. The line was bolted some time in the '80/90s with bash-in carrots and hangerless expansion bolts but didn't appear to have been climbed (lots of loose rock). It has now been cleaned, rebolted and brought back to life. Crux can be done two ways - the left version is easier but more spicy. FA: 21 Feb 2020 | 30m | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★★ Pyrocumulus
Prominent bolted arete. Climb up wooden rungs screwed into tree to gain rock. Trend right across grey face then launch up arete above. This was another route that had been sniffed at by someone decades ago - there are old carrots on a ledge about 10m from the top, an old battery stashed in a cave and a bolt with a faded project tag down the bottom near start of Stonkered. FA: 21 Feb 2020 | 27m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
V1 | Amputee
To the left of 'Bondi'. Start standing on the rock under the overhang. Quite a lack of feet at the start of the climb (hence the name). Possible start from the ground, but might be very hard. Climb out the top. FA: Mitchell Browne, 9 Apr 2020 | 5m | Blue Mountains | ||
V1 | Bondi
Round the corner from 'Bus Stop Boxer'. Start in the right corner under the overhang. Climb up through the crack, and out the top. FA: Mitchell Browne, 9 Apr 2020 | 5m | Blue Mountains | ||
2022 | |||||
26 | ★★ I ought to be thy Adam
"...but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed." An engaging journey up an impressive orange wall. Use the ramp to the right to access the ledge as for Frankenstein, then surge up the engaging slab to a good stance where the wall changes angle. Steel thyself for three confounding cruxes which diminish in difficulty as you approach the anchors high on the vague arete. It is wise to take long draws and extend a few bolts. FA: Luke Yerbury, Matt King & Nathan Kenny, 25 Aug 2022 | 32m, 12 | Blue Mountains |
