Froth Wall Area
21 Foaming at the Mouth

Has all types of rock, solid, chossy, iron stone etc. Great position but take care. Originally had 7 bolts. Brendan did a classic self sandbag, felt weak, got scared on some runouts with suspect rock and cried for a top rope. It now has 12 bolts and is much more pleasant. Anchors: 2 belay bolts at the top. 2 belay bolt at base (spacious ledge 8m off the ground)

Access: Rap down the wall between Foaming and Rabies Straight up the line of scoops, 3m right of the arete. 12 bolts plus micro cams and #2.5 friend. Up past 9 bolts then micro cams in horizontal, up to #2.5 friend at large break (long sling required). Move left and easily up pockets then back right. Through overlap and up past 3 bolts.

Hotdog Wall
24 Mantis

Very steep arete climbing overhanging wall on the left of Hotdog Wall. Batman start requires a 5m stick clip on a DUB anchor, a regular stick clip taped to a sturdy wood stick will do the trick. A 70m rope will be ample for lowering, a 60m might just be enough, be careful and tie a knot at the end. Walk in access is possible following the gully to the left of the pagodas, it will split left at -33.322499, 150.133324, keep following left and down pass Pet Wall etc

Sport 30m
23 It's a Dog's Life

Very nice wall. Sweeping orange expanse at the left end of Hotdog wall. Has some sporting runouts in the upper half, so bring some extra undies and have fun.

Anchors: One bolt and tree belay at the end of the route. One belay bolt plus #2.5 friend at base (semi hanging belay) Note: anchor is high.

Access: Locate 2 rap bolts a few metres back from edge. Abseil down steps and dinner plates or scramble with a prusik for approx 12m to bolt on ledge one metre above where vertical rock begins. Rebelay/attach rope to bolt and continue to rap another 28m to small ledge 8m above the ground (you will need to swing and clip a bolt about 10m above the belay stance to be able to reach the belay anchor).

10 bolts and 2 cams. 5 bolts then #3.5 friend after another metre, 3 bolts, #3 friend after another metre, 2 bolts. If you hate rope drag, unclip 3rd bolt runner after you clip the 4th and put long draws on the 6th and 7th bolts.
