The Grease Cave
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good	Dubravka Sakowicz	Sun 3rd Jul 2005
A little dirty
	18	FA ★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	Average	Rod Young	Tue 13th Apr 2010
might clean up to a better climb
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good	Sebastian Sakowicz	Sun 3rd Jul 2005
Not the best rock around.
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	Average	Rob Knight	Sun 20th Mar 2005
Not sure of the start. Climbed up to the cave then headed right. Seemed the way to do it at the grade.
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7		Marcus Loane	Sat 22nd Jun 2002
Nice Slabby Moves
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	Average	Phil Ward	Sun 15th Aug 2010
Loose rock at start is not great
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good	Gareth Downey	Mon 22nd Oct 2012
bit flakey!
	18	★ Black Adder - with Mike A	Sport 15m, 7		Trevor Kettlewell	Sat 18th Oct 2014
Ahhh, finally something slabby. Like Turtle Wall climbs - challenging but always something when you need it - a rewarding jug or step.
	18	★ Black Adder - with scott	Sport 15m, 7		Trevor Kettlewell	Mon 25th May 2015
First 18 lead I believe.
	18	★ Black Adder - with Seb Oliver	Sport 15m, 7	★★ Very Good	Jo	Thu 23rd Jun 2016
Slabby. Very enjoyable. It's all there.
	18	★ Black Adder - with Trevor Kettlewell	Sport 15m, 7		Alec Landstra	Sat 10th Nov 2018
tricky lower section with small hold but great past that!
	18	★ Black Adder - with Louize Whitby	Sport 15m, 7		Shazzy	Fri 20th Dec 2019
bailed! the holds from 1st to thirds bolts were super thin and hollow. I tried to continue on but I just couldn't trust it
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7		I Campus V3	Thu 27th Aug 2020
Did someone say slab? I'm on it
	18	★ Black Adder - with Kezzadawg, Jason Capenecas	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good	Thomas Maxted	Sun 27th Sep 2020
Fell off the start then did next shot
	18	★ Black Adder - with Cadeyn Mclellan	Sport 15m, 7		Trevor Kettlewell	Sun 15th Aug 2021
I've always thought they should swap the grades between this and Bullwinkle because it skips the fiddly move out of the cave.
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	★★ Very Good	Niki Conway	Mon 13th Jun 2022
Really fun albeit dirty - worth getting on!
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	★★ Very Good	Michael 'Monty' Burns	Sun 17th Jul 2022
Excellent.
	18	★ Black Adder - with Drew Henman	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good	Bisho	Sun 11th Sep 2022
Not bad. Needs a bit of cleaning
	18	★ Black Adder	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good	Murray	Sun 11th Jun 2023
Doesn't look the most appealing, but climbs well enough.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Adam Bramwell	Sat 8th Jul 2006
end of day warm up, don't walk past.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Andrew Scott	Sun 7th Aug 2005
This will become classic in time. Still needs some cleaning but has great variation, length and sustained consistent climbing for the grade.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Rod Smith	Sun 30th Oct 2005
Neglected because it's not in the guidebook. A fine climb. Started raining.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m		Marcus Loane	Sat 22nd Jun 2002
Bit dirty, slabby moves
	17	FA ★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Rod Young	Tue 13th Apr 2010
a good slab at the top.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Mark Betts	Sun 26th Aug 2007
End of the day fun, have to pull a little bit!
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	Average	Rob Knight	Sun 20th Mar 2005
Good climbing up rock that looks like it will break.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Sebastian Sakowicz	Sun 3rd Jul 2005
Not bad a few fun moves.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Daniel da Silva	Sun 7th Aug 2005
really nice, alot better than it looks
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	chris fox	Sat 10th Sep 2005
nice mixture of climbing
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Chris Bentham	Sat 10th Sep 2005
nice up high...
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	Average	Matt Webster	Sat 15th May 2004
Broke large chunk off first hold
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Phil Ward	Sun 15th Aug 2010
Classic slabbing
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Lee McDougall	Sat 1st Sep 2012
Best slab I've done. Just dont fall
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	John Binstead	Sun 16th Sep 2012
FUN BUT TRICKY START Then Great Slab Action
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Gareth Downey	Mon 22nd Oct 2012
this is fun!
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Benjamin	Sat 30th Mar 2013
Nice for the grade
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Anthony Williams	Fri 2nd Aug 2013
God lead Tan!! Some committing sections at the top.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Geoff Campbell	Sun 20th Oct 2013
Loved every move! Favorite warm-up in the area.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Kate Ferguson	Sun 20th Oct 2013
Some great moves on this one.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Damian Howard	Thu 24th Oct 2013
Awesome climb just needs more traffic. Hard moves are right at the start then beautiful slabbing.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Marek	Mon 16th Jun 2014
EOD climb. Quite a nice long slab!
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 21st Jun 2014
Not a bad slab or warm up with a good mix of friction moves and little run outs. Fun.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m		Mitch Perkins	Sun 22nd Jun 2014
Nicer than its neighbour for a warmup
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Doug Bell, Liam Sansou	Sport 15m		Trevor Kettlewell	Sun 14th Sep 2014
Had a fall at the start and a rest further up while I sorted out my feet. Practised the moves again for next time.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Doug Bell, Liam Sansou	Sport 15m		Trevor Kettlewell	Sun 14th Sep 2014
Came back again a bit later, nearly thrown off at the start but managed to hang on, then pull together the rest of the climb clean.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m		Trevor Kettlewell	Sat 8th Nov 2014
Annoying - couldn't work out how to get out of the opening cave for ages.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Jack Hinde	Sport 15m		Trevor Kettlewell	Mon 16th Mar 2015
Always get caught at the crux until I notice the easy step to the left
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with scott	Sport 15m		Trevor Kettlewell	Mon 25th May 2015
Just need to work out a simple sequence out of the cave
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Blue Mountains Orangutan	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Siderunner	Sat 30th May 2015
Really enjoyable. Two stars.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Gabi	Sun 7th Jun 2015
Got caught in the crux. Didn't notice the easy step until I gave up. Will go back.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	z_swander	Sat 8th Aug 2015
So very good.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Seb Oliver	Sport 15m		Jo	Thu 23rd Jun 2016
Struggled over 2nd bolt. Just nerves.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with douglas	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Carmen	Mon 4th Jul 2016
Scabfest it is, balancy with no hands at times, will feel like a legend when you overcome your senses! Super cool climb! Perfect to lap!
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with matilde	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	chou chou halperin	Mon 4th Jul 2016
Loved it. Nice, delicate slabbing. Missed a bunch of good holds but that only added to the fun.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Wade Stewart	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Viona Young	Thu 14th Jul 2016
Slowly making my way through all the sub-18s although my enthusiasm for them is waning. Come on finger, get better! I did love this climb though. Super fun slabbing.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Carmen	Sat 3rd Dec 2016
Turns into a slabfest with tiny holds, hang in for the juggy finish. Beginners will hate it.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Dave Eckersley	Sport 15m		Trevor Kettlewell	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Still tricky getting out of the cave - inch by inch...
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with oliver kerr	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Kate Riordan	Mon 11th Jun 2018
Nice little climb with some tricky moves but a bit dirty. Rain came in as I reached the anchors which made it a bit slippery too.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Mati	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	chou chou halperin	Sun 1st Jul 2018
Warmup.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Marty W, james ritchie, Jenny Gao, Matthieu Desmons	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Jorge	Sun 8th Jul 2018
Two different climbing styles between the start and finish.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Wall	Sun 2nd Sep 2018
Second run up this, such nice stabbing. Topped out and walked back to the carpark
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Wall	Fri 24th May 2019
Another great lap
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Scrumpy	Sat 15th Jun 2019
Nice slabbing at the top, fun way to finish the day
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	RadicalCasey	Sat 31st Aug 2019
Cool climb, technical and slabby sections were fun. It felt steep for the grade, but slabs is not normally my bag.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Cliff Barnett	Sat 28th Dec 2019
A climb of two halves, fun grove to start then nice slabbing.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m		I Campus V3	Thu 27th Aug 2020
Bottom rooflet has to be tolerated to get to the juicy slab above
	17	★★ Bullwinkle - with Kezzadawg, Jason Capenecas	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Thomas Maxted	Sun 27th Sep 2020
Actually quite a bit of fun with some good moves the whole way.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Stefan H	Thu 20th May 2021
Fun with an interesting start
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Michael 'Monty' Burns	Sun 17th Jul 2022
Lovely
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m		linna	Sat 17th Sep 2022
cool cave into a slab. scarpa dragos are not the shoes suitable for this.
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★ Good	Murray	Sat 3rd Jun 2023
Nice 3D, tricky slab, a bit dirty
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m		Moby	Wed 15th Nov 2023

	21	Scabfest	Sport 6m	Crap	RadicalCasey	Sat 31st Aug 2019
Horrid, felt very thin and what holds were present were covered with a black sandy choss. I only dogged it on top rope. Only has 2 bolts + anchor and I'm pretty confident a fall near the anchors would lead to a deck out
	21	★ Apology For Pleasure	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Chris Bentham	Sat 10th Sep 2005
1 shot, came off after clipping the fitted piton placing gear, second shot success... needs cleaning up high.
	21	★ Apology For Pleasure	Trad 15m	Average	Paul Martin	Tue 13th Apr 2010
hard I thought
	21	★ Apology For Pleasure	Trad 15m		CElliott	Sun 29th Jun 2014
Tricky
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 14th Jun 2008
Fun. Too painful a warm up for me though!
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	David O'Donnell	Sun 3rd Aug 2008
felt like tommy cardwell!
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Jason Smith	Sat 27th May 2006
What a great hidden gem
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	John Lattanzio	Sat 6th Jan 2007
Stange bolting, harder with natural gear
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Rob Knight	Sat 19th Aug 2006
Classy climbing up to the 5th bolt where it gets crimpy and balancy. Worth jumping on.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Mega Classic	Andrew Scott	Sat 22nd Apr 2006
Nice one. One of the best novelty climbs at Nowra.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig (Left Corner(This is Frig the Pig))	Sport 15m	★ Good	John Wilson	Sun 22nd Jun 2003
I agree, an interesting grade 21
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Nick Kaczorowski	Sun 9th Jul 2006
Excelent!
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Adam Bramwell	Sun 9th Jul 2006
very classy
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 14th Jun 2008
A bit to tricky as a warm up
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Jenny Lin	Mon 7th Jul 2008
Lay-backs, finger & hand jams - was I at Nowra?
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Ben Jenga	Wed 28th Dec 2011
I don't approve of bolted trad climbs but lots of fun if you don't have your rack. Tricky top moves and a badly placed bolt.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 23rd Jun 2012
Awesome, probably one of my most memorable climbs of the day. In the dark, WITHOUT a headlamp. Clean to the crux (5th bolt) but took a few goes to figure out how to do it, then clean to the top. Felt like Lynn Hill doing the "houdini pose" on Changing Corners on this one. The top thin slab was exciting in pitch black.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Tim Haasnoot	Wed 1st Jun 2011
Done a few years ago.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★ Good	Dave Hoyle	Sat 2nd Aug 2014
Nice climb.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucy Stirling	Sun 5th Apr 2015
awesome balancy slab climbing
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m		Hannah Bowey	Mon 4th May 2015
made it clean to the crux, awesome start climb but currently too hard to pass the crux.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	z_swander	Sat 8th Aug 2015
Tough crux, and confusing last few meters. According to the printed guide, it stops at the first set of double bolts (offset). The high bolts are for the next climb right, and it was awkward as anything to climb out of the gully and clip them. Might be a sweet link up to head far right after the crux, but I can't remember if that looked feasible.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig - with Trevor Kettlewell	Sport 15m	★★★ Mega Classic	douglas	Sat 7th May 2016
Just slightly easier in day light, tried an onsight with a headtorch, still deserves a grade about 23.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m		Drew Henman	Tue 12th Jul 2016
A very tricky and rather awkward crux
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Stephen Varney	Fri 5th May 2017
Second shot. Not your typical Nowra climb. Reminds me of a granite dihedral. Stem for the reach!
	21	★★ Frig The Pig - with Isabella Bradley	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Mac Labine-Romain	Sun 4th Jun 2017
sick! well protected too.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Jon S-D	Tue 13th Jun 2017
Didn't fancy the crux today
	21	★★ Frig The Pig - with George Broadfoot	Sport 15m	★ Good	Ben Smyrk	Wed 2nd Aug 2017
Slippery crux! Cost me some skin.
