1. New Nowra - Braidwood Road 643 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Mostly Sport
Long/Lat: 150.402474, -35.071813
- Description:
-
The climbing is mostly vertical sports climbing varying from 15 to 40+ meters high. Rock quality is 1st class Shoalhaven water carved sandstone, very similar to Thompsons Point.
1.1. Afterburner Wall 20 routes in Area
- Summary:
- Mostly Sport
- Description:© (nmonteith)
-
A single steep orange wall once visited by mysterious bolters who gridded the top with U anchors as well as sparsley placed them down some of the climbs. Some of the anchors were lacking glue but most of them are fine. The bolts over the top should be ignored as there are now double rings on the tops of most climbs.
Useful Info: 'Access' the cliff by walking to the edge and walking right facing out for about thirty meters. Look for a slot chimney with green rungs in it.
- Approach:© (nmonteith)

Drive past the turn off to Thompson's Point and the University and continue past the reservoir and down the hill. As you come out of the little valley at the bottom of the hill there is a house on the right and the turn off almost immediately opposite to the left up YALWAL road. Follow this up until the road goes under the power lines. Further along an open area appears on your right about the size of a football field and sometimes populated by dead cars. Turn into this and drive to the back side and just right of centre. There will be a small dirt track heading off from this clearing for 70 to 90 meters at the end of this park. To go another 20 meters further you would drive straight over the cliff. Can be seen on aerial maps as a large orange patch off a straight section of dirt road.
| Route | Grade | Style | Popularity | Selected ascents | ||

Great climbing with a low down crux and good rock. May the force be with you. Start: When you walk out of the bottom of the access slot this is the first route on the main wall. FA: G Hill, 2007 | 23 | 15m |

Great climb, though you will need to read the rock to get through sections without having to bust your arse cranking some hard stuff. Start: Under easy blocky arrangement that access the left side of the ledge that runs across the middle of the cliff. FA: G Hill, | 23 | 18m |

This route shares the start off the ledge with two others and follows the left line of bolts. Start: Shares same start as 'Trilobutt' to the ledge. FA: G Hill, 2008 | 22 | 18m |

Top break to break climbing. Not completely bolted by the Aliens who were scared off before they could glue the bolts into the rock. Now sports more rings than a poofters camp. Start: As for the Bum-eyed Bumosaur though this route is the direct line. FA: G Hill, 2007 | 22 | 22m |

Great climbing up a really nice orange streak of hard rock. Start: Third route in the off the ledge trilogy. This is the right hand one. FA: G Hill, | 22 | 18m |

| 9 |
Great climbing break to break. Which translates to OK if you have the reach but can be a little technical if you bum drags close to the ground. Start: At the right hand side of the ledge are various lines of bolts that you can follow to get to the ledge. Choose one that will limit the rope drag as this climb goes up the left side of the crack. FA: G Hill, | 21 | 18m |

This route goes up right of the crack for pure fun!!? Start: At one of the lines of bolts that will get you to the ledge. FA: G Hill, | 21 | 18m |
graeme hill

| 11 |
This route was established by the Alien Visitation Crew who stuck bolts in over the top and screwed it up for a lower off. They also had British steel balls and ran it out between bolts so i fixed all that rubbish. Start: In the corner at the right hand side of the ledge. Same place as the previous two routes. FA: G Hill, | 21 | 15m | |||
| 12 |
Another route established by the AVC with no top anchors except the ones way over the top past the crud. Great bit of rock when you get onto it. Top anchors added later for your convienience. Start: On slab to the right of 'Muscle Thruster'. FA: G Hill, | 20 | 18m |

| 13 |
Bolted by the RAT in his come back days but proved a bit too stiff. Start: At the crack as for 'Plasto Bambola'. | 23 | 23m | |||
| 14 |
Pumper route with nails hard start and a crux way up the top. There is an easier alternative and this is to pike at the two closely spaced bolts just before the last crux its hard 23 to this point. You will see the bolts they are pretty obvious lower off anchors disguised as runners. Start: Up on the ledge about three meters right of Alien's Route Three. In vague corner. FA: G Hill, 2005 | 24 | 23m | |||
| 15 |
Veg
Early bridging avoids the bouldery start. the climb gets a little sandy but is generally cool and ok. Start: This is the second route down the access slot. It keeps the route sequencing correct to stick this right of 'Rats Project'. FA: G Hill, 2005 | 16 | 15m | |||
| 16 |
If you did this climb enter the details. It goes up some of the best looking rock in 'Nowra'. 'Steep' and bulgy though its a pity about the start not commencing from the ground. Start: The first bolts are high up the wall so it looks like a rap in start. FA: The AVC, 2000 | 20m | ||||
| 17 |
Steep on generally sound rock and big jugs with a tricky head wall to finish. Start: At crack to the right as you come out from the descent gully. FA: G Hill, 2005 | 23 | 20m , 8 | |||
| 18 |
Lisa's Monkey
Cool in summer though a little sandy. Will clean up with a thousand ascents. Just look at 'Gun Barrel Highway' now! Start: The first route you pass as you walk down the access slot. FA: G Hill, 2005 | 16 | 12m | |||
| 19 |
Gotta be the best looking bit of stone around. Why doesn't anybody want to go and climb it give it a grade and some closure in its life? Start: Right of Alien's Route One from the ground. FA: The AVC, 2000 | 22m | ||||
| 20 |
When the Alien's bolted this baby they wanted you to find some balls, squeeze them together and go for it. Maybe these Aliens were British trad dudes? Start: Right of ART under obvious large hole in rock and slabby pre wall. FA: The AVC, 2000 | 22m | ||||
1.2. The Lair 44 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
Mostly Sport
Long/Lat: 150.456728, -34.974179
- Description:© (gavin lyon)
-
The Lair is a sandstone cliffline up to 20m in height. It faces west so is good on a winters afternoon or early on a summer morning. The sun hits some of the faces from 10am in winter and you can find summer shade until 1pm. Protected from wind also. It has a variety of generally well protected easy to mid grade climbs. Established as a sport climbing crag with glue-in stainless steel ringbolts and double ringbolt lower-offs.
Useful Info: -34.9564211,150.4829561
The climbs are described from left to right as you are facing the cliff. 'Access' track is very uneven with a lot of forest debris.
Bring insect repellant, as there can be some mozzies around.
It is an excellent area for beginners and kids as it is generally child-friendly and has many bolted easy to moderate routes.
- Approach:© (gavin lyon)
-
If you are approaching from Sydney follow the Princes 'Highway' to 'Nowra'. After crossing the Shoalhaven River continue past 'Nowra' Fair shopping centre on the left. Turn right at the Kalandar Street lights. Follow the signs to HMAS 'Albatross'. When you see the airbase. Turn right onto Braidwood Road and follow this past 'Nowra' Motorcycle Club. Just after the motorcycle club take the next turn right onto a gravel road (Yerriyong Vale Road - no sign, but marked on Google Maps). Set your odometer. You will pass a fire trail on the right before the road drops down to a creek line and past a couple of properties(right) . At 3.3km you will notice an obvious 4WD track on the right (used to have sign 'Wattle Fire Trail' at its entrance, missing 2013) and carparking on the left. The road ends at a locked gate a few hundred metres past the carpark.
If approaching from the south follow the signs to HMAS 'Albatross', turn left onto Braidwood Road and continue from there.
On Yerriyong Vale Road there are 3 car spaces located opposite the 4WD track (10m up the road on the left from the 'Wattle Fire Trail' wooden sign). 10m south from the larger carpark there is a thin tree stump marked track (also ribbon on tree 2013) leading up to the cliff line (5 mins walk). Heading up the hill on this track brings you up to a gully between 'Sundeck' and 'Berlin Wall'.
Parking at the next carpark along and heading straight up through the bush will lead you to the 'Titanic' area.
Do not leave any valuables in your cars and keep the road clear as it is access to farms.

About 35 routes spread out along a number of butresses, each with a very different feel.
Location: Drive out along the Braidwood road until you go past Turpentine Road (on your left a major road) a further 50 mtrs on your right turn into Deans Gap Road, follow this dirt road for a couple of kms until you hit the powerlines. Turn left under the power lines and follow them down the hill past one tower and stop about 100 mtrs before the creek (you know your in the right place if there is a small clearing at the edge of the bush and the very small ground cover is flattened by cars). Look for a white road marker showing the start of the track!
Walk westwards into the bush via the clearing and follow the track marked by yellow ribbon (John drinks coopers for trackwork donations) it will bring you out to a small gully. Go down the gully and go left facing out, you should be walking under overhangs now (for 200 mtrs).
When you get to the end of this walk you should be at the first climbs in the "Access Canyon" at the back of this canyon is a scramble to get you access to the other areas, just follow the cliff for 5 mins when you see a large curving flake your at "Story Wall" and just around the corner is "Tiger Wall".

1.4. Hylands Lookout 123 routes in Area
- Summary:
- Mostly Sport
- Description:
-
Five minute access, accessible by 2 Wheel Drive and in a quiet wilderness setting, the Hylands is a sandstone cliff comprising 3 sections, the north-western and south-western cliffs and the "middle ground" area in between. The rock quality varies from loose flaky scabs and conglomerate, to slightly sandy, to clean and compact. The south-western side has continuous vertical walls up to 30m high, whereas the northwestern side is more broken up but has some interesting short walls, prows, corners, and ledges. The cliffline on which Hylands is situated is extensive and there is the potential for further development, both at Hylands, and further along the cliffline (Utopia Crag). There may also be some bouldering potential.
- Approach:© (nmonteith)
-
Hylands 'Lookout' is on Deans Gap Road located off Braidwood road
about south-west of 'Nowra'. From 'Nowra', take the Braidwood
Road past the air force base, continuing along the newly sealed
road. Around 20 klms from 'Nowra' a major intersection will appear with Turpentine Road joining from the left. 50 metres past this intersection, is a dirt road on the right with some chunky blue-metal gravel at the start. This is Deans Gap Road and is marked as such on many maps.
From Canberra, Deans Gap Road is about 100m on the left past the first 'Turpentine Rd' sign.
Zero your odometer when you turn onto Deans Gap Rd – it passes under some power lines (turn left here for 'Panther' crga access) after about 3km; at 3.5km from Braidwood Rd take a road on the left which appears on a right-hand bend; 'Hylands Lookout' is a further 700m along at the end of this road. If your car can negotiate the last rocky section of the road, you will be deposited directly on top of the cliff. There is a great view down the valley, carved out by Boolijong Creek. The road goes left for another 50m which takes you directly to the top of the south-western cliff. Either scramble down the cairned gully/chimney here or for 'Utopia' crags walk south along cliff top (follow yellow tags in trees) for 300 mtrs and go down the wide gully and turn left, continue along the bottom of the cliff for another 150 mtrs and you should come to "Crash and Burn" wall, just around the corner is "Middle Earth" area and 150 mtrs further is "Punch and Judy" area. To get to "Wave Walls" walk another 200 mtrs along until you come across a section of orange cliff about 10 mtrs high the climbs start at the end at present.
1.4.1. North-Western side 8 routes in Area
- Summary:
- Sport,Top Rope
- Approach:© (nmonteith)
-
The north-western side is to the right of the descent gully described above, but the climbs start about 100m (?) further along. The cliff on this side is more broken up than the south-western side, but has more variety in the rock features. There are some sections with superb, clean rock which require little
or no cleaning, but also a lot of loose stuff. There are several ways to access the north-western side since it is fairly broken up, and this will most likely depend on which climbs you would like to get to. Currently there are two climbs that start from
the bottom of the cliff – 'Toxic Beauty' and 'Igor the Lada'. Apart from 'Easy Tiger!', the rest of the climbs are on the Sunny Ledge and can be accessed via a rock scramble from the top of the cliff. The Sunny Ledge is a good place to climb in winter due to its northerly aspect. If you can get your car down the rough north track, you will end up on a flat rock platform, and about 50m out from here is the cliff edge, although finding the access to the climbs from here is tricky. 'Access' is described
within the climbs below.

Easiest approaoch is via the regular approach to the other Hylands Sectors. After descending the rungs, continue down the slope and walk along the cliff under Middle Ground Lower for at least 100m. After a little bush bashing keep your eyes open for a line of bolts up a pocketed light grey wall, this is Toxic Beauty.

The name of this climb came from reading an article about chemicals in skin-care products. A little ripper with some nice pockets! Starts directly below 'Easy Tiger!' from the bottom of the cliff. Up the centre of the pocketed buttress and short wall at top, to anchor just below the ledge. If continuing up 'Easy Tiger!' to the top of the cliff, the second can be belayed from the large tree on the ledge. | 21 | 18m , 6 | |||

1.4.3. South-Western side 50 routes in Area
- Summary:
- Sport,Top Rope and Trad
- Description:
-
This side of the cliff is characterised by vertical faces, some are uninterrupted for the entire 30m height of the cliff. It tends to be easier to find your way around here, as all routes start from the bottom of the cliff. The lower half of this cliff tends to be more solid and so there are several climbs that end before the upper half. However some sections are good and climbs on these sections go to the top. Prior to 2005 there were quite a few routes done at this crag by persons unknown - and some of these have been retrobolted by recent climbers. If anyone knows more please get in touch!
The cliff is in the shade in the morning (till about 2pm) and gets the sun in the afternoon (although the bottom half of the cliff is shaded by the trees).
A short scramble is required to get to the bottom of the cliff. Locate a narrow gully with a few trees at the top to the right of the rock platform (marked with a rock cairn). Follow the gully down a chimney on the right, and then follow the line of least resistance down to the water-worn rock to a small ledge with a large tree. Below this tree on the left there is a short wall with big hand and foot holds sculpted out of the rock(another relic left by our alien predecessors). These days there is some nice green steel rungs to help you down as well.
At the bottom of the cliff, walk around to your left (facing out) and you will access the south-western side of the cliff where climbing starts.

An Easy Day for a Lady
Before it had had its first female ascent, the Matterhorn in Switzerland was considered to be a tough climb, fit for only the strongest male mountaineers. After a woman climbed the Matterhorn, it was considered to be an easy day for a lady. The route starts on the left side of the gridbolted black slab 30m right of 'Liquidity'. Techy slab on little pockets then continues on the right-hand buttress, onto a ledge and up a short blunt arete. At the short headwall at the top, follow the line of least resistance to the right and the anchor is just over the top. Route needs a direct finish and a lower-off! | 18 | 29m , 9 | |||

Start: Second climb on the black slab as you approach from left...Bit of thinking needed in the middle FA: Rick Phillips, 2000 | 19 | 15m |

Very technical slab climbing up black blank wall. Straight up on finger scoops. Don't try this one on a hot day it is quite engaging for a number of thin sequences. Start: At black slab three meters left of the arete. | 23 | 15m , 5 | |||

A good climb up the other side of the arete. When you get towards the top remember that line from the favourite porn movie and "Slap that Butt" cos if you don't the next line from the movie will instantly come to mind, "yo bro watch the wind!"

Wanders away from the third bolt to the left a bit to avoid any hard climbing. Otherwise a fine slabby wall with some interesting foot holds or lack there of. Start: Three meters right of the alternative start to Mon Zombie FA: Hill, | 21 | 12m , 9 | |||

Start: Shares same start as the previous route. Approximately three meters right of arete. FA: Hill, | 15m , 11 | ||||

Unless the photo Topo gets corrected ignore it. Great climbing across the orange part of the wall on classic goutes deau and other large pockets. When you get to the crux shout BENGA BENGA and keep going. The black stuff looks crappy but is still good climbing. If your feet fall off trade in your boots for better rubber. Start: Off the top of the large block. Same start as 'Testeagles'. FA: Hill, | 24 | 18m , 11 | |||

Has a fantastic gritstone like section just off the ledge near the bottom. The climb sports more bolts than probably necessary, but you wont hit the ledge anymore if you clip them all. Lower off rings available before the choss top or go thru to the rings over the top edge. Start: The first line of bolts right of the corner on the large vertical wall.

A good rest in the middle breaks the action on this route. Next route left of Alien Anal Academy. Up wall following the long line of bolts to juggy finish. Or go thru to top on even extra crap rock. FA: Hill, 2010 | 22 | 29m , 14 |

Technical wall climbing to get through to the ledge without busting your rectum out of its hiding place. Follow the tonnes of bolts through the orange band which makes the climb worth doing i must add. At the confusing conglomerate section wiggle a little right then back thru to the line on thin crimps. You have it in the bag now so punch thru to the top without bothering to clip any extra bolts. Huge jugs to finish. End at the two lower offs or if you have real guts push it thru the extra choss rock to exit over the top. You will need more draws for this though. FA: Hill, 2010 | 24 | 28m , 14 | |||

Exceptionally fine climbing up a sparse black wall. Any discomfort you feel on the holds is a result of having too much wanking activity turning your fingers soft. All vicious thin holds have been treated to take the bite out of them so enjoy the excursion. A great set of jugs in the middle takes the heat off this number. Start two meters left of Coffee Powered Shit Box Up the short vertical rut section and push out to the left to gain jugs in the lower middle of the wall. Up to offset flake and then move left to follow bolts to the top. FA: V. Hill, 2011 | 25 | 15m , 8 | |||

Great climbing on good sized holds. No razor blade finger stuffing crimpers here. All vicious edges have been dealt with and anything you snap off is because you're off route.

Great climbing up a slightly slabby wall. No real hard moves just a series of grade 20 sequences to the top. The bolts are placed to protect any unfortunate snap offs you may get on the thin flakes.

Long/Lat: 150.465008, -35.059152
- Description:
-
Easy access along the base of the crag. There will be quite a concentration of routes that will be mostly 15m to 25m high. About a hundred routes in this new area eventually from grade 10 to grade 30.
- Approach:
-
Really just an extension of the Gold Mine cliff. A five minute flat walk through the bush to get to the top of the cliff, take the obvious tagged track heading thru the bush to the cliff edge, then turn left and walk accross the top of the cliff (tagged) to the descent gully. There is a fixed rope and rungs to help you get down.. There is also another access gully/ramp at the other end of the crag (Sluice Box sector) which is roped and has rungs. It's a little harder to negotiate as it is more exposed and steeper and probably better as and exit from the crag than an approach. From the main track, locate a little gully on your right about 40m before you get to the cliff edge, follow the tagged track for about 100m to the next obvious little gully. Rope and rungs at the base of this gully.
As per the Goldmine..
Reset your speedo at the intersection of Turpentine and Braidwood Roads.
1km: Continue on and the 620 sign will be 1km on your right.
1.2km: Take the next dirt road left (Yarran Rd). Drive thru open gate. From this point on it is recommened you have either a 4WD or a car with good clearance. Sections of road can be very muddy and sometimes entirely water covered. A Forester or Rav4 is fine, a low slung sports coupe is not.
3.8km: Turn down the second road on right (Butterbrush Track) it should have a small "fire trail sign"
4.5km: Continue along this road until the road swings around to the left (just before big puddle). Look for the obvious Parking on the side of the road.
Look for the tagged track heading thru the bush to the cliff edge, then turn left and walk accross the top of the cliff to the descent gully. There is a fixed rope to help you get down.

1.6. The Gold Mine 59 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
Mostly Sport
Long/Lat: 150.474174, -35.061734
- Description:
-
- NB August 2011- The name of this crag was recently changed in response to a request from one of the original developers of the cliff.
Area originally discovered in 2006, but kept secret from the New Nowra crew until 2011. Since then plenty of new routes have been added, several of these are 30m long rope stretching classics. Awesome fine grained white/grey sandstone similar to some of the rock at Moonshine.
From Nowra: Continue along Braidwood road towards TJF.
- Reset your speedo at the intersection of Turpentine and Braidwood Roads.
- 1km: Continue on and the 620 sign will be 1km on your right.
- 1.2km: Take the next dirt road left. Drive thru open gate.
- 3.8km: Turn down the second road on right it should have a small "fire trail sign"
- 6.3km: Continue along this road until it finishes at the cliff top and the obvious parking area.
Walk 25 metres down the trail to cliff edge - directly out from the giant big dead tree is a rap anchor on a little ledge. Fix a line here or rap and pull a doubled rope here (it's 30m to the ground - a doubled 50m rope WILL NOT REACH). Simple's Wall is on your right, Monty's cave and the other climbing areas are on your left facing out.
Alternatively, to access the base of the cliff (without rap) walk toward the cliff and pick up a trail marked with yellow flagging leading to the left. After about 200m the trail leads you into a gully. Take care at the top of the gully due to loose earth and rotten rock. Trend leftward to reach the first set rungs to gain the terrace. Go right along the terrace, again take care though the sword grass and wet ground to reach the second set of rungs.
Once at the base of the cliff walk right (facing out), keeping as close to the cliff as possible, for about 50m to find a fixed rope. Scale this end traverse until you reach the base of a wall which is the start of the current development. The right hand route is Ocean Views. About 10 minutes walk from car.

From Nowra: Continue along Braidwood road towards TJF.
Reset your speedo at the intersection of Turpentine and Braidwood Roads.
1km: Continue on and the 620 sign will be 1km on your right.
1.2km: Take the next dirt road left (Yarran Rd). Drive thru open gate. From this point on it is recommened you have either a 4WD or a car with good clearance. Sections of road can be very muddy and sometimes entirely water covered. A Forester or Rav4 is fine, a low slung sports coupe is not.
3.8km: Turn down the second road on right (Butterbrush Track) it should have a small "fire trail sign"
6.3km: Continue along this road until the road ends at the cliff top and the obvious parking area.
Walk 25 metres down the trail to cliff edge - directly out from the giant big dead tree is a rap anchor on a little ledge.

if you dont like crimps keep going up "cosmic thing" to start the climb. This will turn the climb into a hard 23 instead of the easier 23 it is today.

- Summary:
-
All Sport
Long/Lat: 150.413315, -35.040291
- Description:© (nmonteith)
-
A long walk-in protects this impressive cliffline featuring one of the most unique sandstone walls in Australia - a cliff covered in two and three finger pockets in smooth white rock. Just like limestone! Because it bakes in the sun most of the day it's a winter only venue.
- Approach:© (nmonteith)
-
A lengthy 30 minute walk protects this area from mass development. Directions - drive 2.4km south-west on Turpentine Road (towards Nerriga) from intersection of Braidwood Rd and Turpentine Road. Turn right onto dirt road (quite a sharp ditch to navigate if in a 2WD). Follow this for 550m until you hit power-lines, turn left and follow rough 2WD powerlines road (ignore left turn 100m into this road) for 300m until road ends at first power-line tower (GPS -35.0463, 150.4226). On right side of carpark spot the coloured tape markers. Follow this well marked track cut through thick bush, left down into gully skirting rock wall on the right (5 minutes) , through thick bush, down into creek bed (10 minutes), up the other side, now follow as close as possible the top of the big cliff for ages, past small creek (20 minutes), and eventually the bush gets lighter and lighter. Finally you will reach the amazing lookout point where the cliff takes a sharp left turn (30 minutes). Walk left along the top of the cliff for another 100m (marked with pink tape as well). At the top of the secret descent gully is a big rock cairn consisting of three large flat rocks and lots of tape wrapped around a tree. Squeeze down hole into gully and turn left to find 'Faux Buoux' Wall about 100m along the base. On the return trip it's best to leave an hour before sunset to navigate the thick bush - or carry a GPS and torch. Getting lost out here would be a nightmare. Telstra seems to be the only mobile carrier that works.

and other styles
Long/Lat: 150.335041, -35.103770
- Description:
-
Hard to believe that TJF was popular before Nowra or Mt Keira was even discovered. The climbing is mostly vertical sports climbing varying from 15 to 40+ meters high. Rock quality is 1st class Shoalhaven water carved sandstone, very similar to Thompsons Point.
BOLTING IS BANNED to the left 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!
Location: Tianjara Falls - just a bit past Nowra. Turn off Princess Highway as per access to Thommo Point (Kalander St), follow this and turn left into Albatros Road, follow this to HMAS Albatros. Then turn right into Braidwood Rd, continue along this road (it turns into Turpentine Rd) follow the directions to Nerriga. Keep your eye out for the sign for Tianjara Falls, its about 1km on your right after the road turns into dirt. Park in the massive obvious carpark. Walk down towards the lookout and follow the trail (right) on top of the cliff towards the crags. The 1st walk down gully is about 2 min walk...
The The RTA has recently spent $80 million upgrading the highway from Nowra to Tianjara Falls for the benefit of the sports climbing community!,

A variant start to the route left which fully utilises the orange rock. Look out as a 60 meter rope won't get you off this baby in one hit you will have to break the descent and rap again on FM anchors which are 23 meters off the ground. Start: As for Fricasse Maison. FA: G Hill, 2009 | 20 | 35m |

Some holds are a little dirty but don't let that put you off. Generally its a pile of rubbish and i can't think of why i wasted seven bolts on it, only to say i liked the name string it would form with the climbs around it which are also rubbish.

A fine slab angle wall. Sustained climbing at about grade 19 from mid way up. Use the crack at the first blank bit or just grit your teeth and climb thru it for a better experience, not much harder this way. Graded only for the sustained nature. A confident leader will find it 19 all the way up. As for Mythical Tomatoes at blocky corner leading to the left side of the ledge at quarter height. Up corner to ledge. Up wall using cracks as necessary to rings at the top. FA: G. Hill, 2010 | 21 | 35m , 12 | |||

Not a lot of protection through the first wall from memory but think of England, Dave Mcleod & just fake it. Start: At wall with scooped out bites just right of Mythical tomatoes FA: Bill James, 1974 | 12 | 50m | |||

A bit of old fashioned run it out trad climbing, taking in all the best looking rock it could. Start: Same as for Cab Rank under obvious bite out of wall ie under scoops. FA: G Hill & Hans Gimpeliji, 1978 | 11 | 50m | |||
| 31 |
Another old trad route. Not sure how much pro you get on it but i remember it as run out. Then again its only 14. Start: Drop down off the ledge where 'Usurper' starts and walk towards the water fall a few meters. Around the nose you will soon see a large left leaning slab and corner with lots of rooves above it. From Cab rank you can look up to the right and see a tree growing from an orange rock ledge this is the last stance. FA: G Hill & R Chunder, 1978 | 14 | 65m | |||

A nice little wall that deserved a taste of steel. The orange rock in the cave is great and the moves up the right side of the arete just fine.

start under the leaning crack, all geared up!! all those bottom placements you think you can see are dirty and flaring, so you climb up a bit freak out and down climb a little then do some gardening.. you get decent gear at about 4 mtrs, more nut placements than cams finish up storking pork anchors Start: ummm. at the bottom of the crack i guess!

Kurds in the Whey
A beautiful piece of work inspired by nature and the Indian Stainless Steel plant used to make my bolts raw materials. This sought of climb keeps the wall average grade somewhere around the solid 20. So quit complaining if a few climbs are underdone the ones to the side are probably over done. Start: Shared start with BB, then moves right. FA: G Hill, 2000 | 20 | 18m | |||
