Such a funky line, was stoked to get the onsight
	22	★★ Super Commuter - with Heath Black, Harry Kadi	Sport 33m, 14	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Sun 12th Aug 2018
Would be a classic at so many other crags but it's just not quite as mega as it's neighbours. Wild and improbable climbing up a super rad feature with a little bit of everything to keep it interesting. A great route!
	22	★★★ Thickening Agent - with Heath Black, Harry Kadi	Sport 32m, 14	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 12th Aug 2018
Awesome climbing, awesome feature, awesome rock! Absolute classic linking the scoops on this glorious orange wall. The must do warm up at the crag!
	23	★★★ Fastest Gun in the West - with Heath Black, Harry Kadi	Sport 39m, 16	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 12th Aug 2018
The line of the crag! This climb stands tallest amongst a crowd of giants. Top work Monty (and Evan for the excellent finalé)!! Awesome scooping to a crimpy traverse and wild finish up the prow, topping it all off with a mantle to clip the anchors! What an excursion!! Has some really crazy (but delicate) features that you might avoid holding so that others can behold them in the future! Plenty of well placed bolts, a bunch of air, some pump, some rests and a whole load of fun! Radical!! You can lower from the last bolt with a 70 (just) but otherwise re-thread at the first or second bolt.
	17	★ Keenes Hobble - with Harry Kadi 1 2 65m lead by Will Vidler 2 17 lead by Harry Kadi 3 17 lead by Will Vidler	Sport 65m, 30	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Will Vidler	Sun 12th Aug 2018
A bit average but gets a star for the position in the Grose and having a million well placed bolts (even though they are carrots). Kinda snappy and nails but a relatively straightforward path to the top. Harry and i scrambled the first pitch and then tried to simul but we got scared due to the iron stone's snappiness so we pitched it out when Harry got to the belay. If you wanted to add some length to Weld Party maybe you could rap down and do this as well but it would only be to add length not quality to your day.
	18	★★ Serendipitous Cracks - with James 1 18 35m lead by Will Vidler 2 18 45m lead by Will Vidler	Trad 80m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Sat 23rd May 2020
First pitch is definitely classic in the style on great rock, but a little bit serious, second pitch maybe gets one star and is quite dirty. A great little outing with James, we planned on finishing up Weld Party but then it started to rain and rain so we bailed. A bit of a long walk for just two pitches. The second pitch is also not 45m of climbing, but probably is about that far to the tree you belay off.
	19	★★★ Weld Party - with James 1 18 30m lead by Will Vidler 2 18 20m lead by Will Vidler 3 19 30m lead by Will Vidler	Sport 80m, 45	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Mon 1st Jun 2020
Really good multi that is what everyone should do before attempting Bunny Buckets; it's about the same grade but only half as many climbing pitches and with good phone reception, and you can rap off and easily walk out at any point. Dragged my non-climbing mate James up it and he frothed, smashing out the first two pitches and having a sit on the third. Would be great in conjunction with the first two pitches of Serendipitous Cracks as we originally intended!
	20	★★★ Advanced Air Studio - with Matt Singleton	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Turner	Sun 17th Oct 2021
Absolutely nails, exposure is cooked, rock quality is average, the line is legendary. Rap in is feral, One of the best climbs I’ve done in the blueys

Dang awesome multi, bit of a rough approach since I went sockless, but once you get there it’s a wow moment. Surrounded by gross valley and then an impressive near vertical wall to the top. Juggy yet pumpy 1st pitch, juggy and fun 2nd pitch , 3rd pitch adds some spice and is more vertical. Epic climb and best multi I’ve done during this blueies trip.

a pleasant day out. First 2 pitches are OK. 3rd is a bit ugly

Nicer than the chimney anyway. I'd rather have led without the back pack. about 7 carrots.

To all the fun police out there..yes, i have climbed this before, but it was years ago. I didnt remember any betas and so like yeah whatevs. It was a stunning day.
	21 Hard	★★ Purkinje Arette - with Tim Benfield	Sport 75m, 34	Blue Mountains		Tim M-S	Sat 23rd Mar 2024
This is a great route! Two long sustained pitches with good rock (for the Blueys), fine wall climbing to begin with then the airy and committing arete. Definitely three stars. Don't be fooled like I was last time with Lisa Vitaris when we believed the guide book, went 50m from Serendipitous Crack and got sandbagged on Remembering McKinnon ( The climb starts up a short corner below a roof-let then moves out right of the arete and up the wall.

Lovely route with good bolting. Definitely no rap required on approach, just harnessing up and clipping into fixed ropes for a short section. Bit of choss to avoid up the scoops, but interesting movement and a thin-ish 19 crux mid pitch 3.

Rained during the second and third pitch, definitely complicated things. Some draw grabbing occurred. But was a fun (and longer than expected) day

Not a bad route. Two stars as there aren’t that many multi pitches at this grade in the Grose that aren’t horror choss fests.

	21	★★ If 6 was 9 - with Josh Harris	Sport 25m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sammy Zammit	Mon 5th Jul 2021
Fantastic position – super airy! Thin pleasant climbing. There are definitely harder 22s in the Blueys. I guess it probably earns the grade due to the exposure. It's pointless taking cams down for the route, as you don't need them. I took #.75-3 cams just in case not knowing what to expect given it's a new route (the route changed from a 21 sport to a 22 mixed trad the morning of the climb!) but didn't end up using any as it's well bolted. Good fun.

A bit sandy, but nice enough climb. Even though it's the "escape" route from the bottom cliff, I think it's worth a climb in its own right.

Really well bolted route, the trip there makes for an awesome day out, and a great alternative to other crowded multipitch crags. Pitch 3 is def the hardest. Hats off to Eww for finding and bolting this. Excited to go back and link this up with any other route in the lower shelf.

	18	★★ Serendipitous Cracks	Trad 210m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 19th Dec 2010
19th December 2010. First 2 pitches are great. Third pitch is chossy and dangerous. 4th Pitch is unremarkable. 5th pitch is gardening.
	20	★★ Serendipitous Cracks direct finish	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 19th Dec 2010
19th December 2010. Broke a hold about 3 or 4 bolts up and took a fall. Then clean to the top. Bring a moderate rack and some long slings... You'll need it at the top. Amazing exposure.
	20	★★★ Advanced Air Studio - with Stephen Varney	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 10th Aug 2015
2nding Stephen. Clean. Hard at the grade, and at times quite thin. Wild position and enjoyable climbing getting progressively harder until you topout, but too fragile and even a bit chossy to be a classic. Bloody windy today!
	22	★★ The Dimerisation Interface - with Stephen Varney	Sport 52m, 17	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 10th Aug 2015
Almost, but not quite classic. Bloody long and very sustained at the grade. Like doing the crux part of the gr21 top pitch of mirrorball over and over again for 52m. Some of the harder moves might even push this into gr23 territory. Tricky to find the holds on the onsight due to literally no traffic since the FA (and moss on some crux holds), but probably worth more laps due to the beautiful slice of uninterrupted vericality that is Bald Head. Some fragile rock, but no real breakage. Windy!
	22	★★★ Thickening Agent	Sport 32m, 14	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 5th Aug 2018
About as good as a Blueys route can get at the grade (and quite tough at it, too), with generally pretty perfect rock up interesting scoopy features. Would be the trade route at any mainstream crag.
	23	★★ Pocket Rock It	Sport 32m, 14	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 5th Aug 2018
Quite challenging without any chalk on it. A few particularly cruxy moves, and lots of easier climbing. Very worthwhile. Mostly pretty good rock.
	23	★★★ Red Bellied	Sport 28m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 5th Aug 2018
Intimidatingly featureless on bullet-hard, slick rock... But surprisingly, with some technique, it's enjoyable and not too hard. The final rising traverse an intriguing end-cap to the pitch.
	24	★★★ This Coming Fall	Sport 20	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 5th Aug 2018
Stuck the "dyno" on the onsight... but to the only part of the rail that wasn't a rail . More great linkage to the top section before getting confused by the bolt location (I tried to climb the overhaning face super-direct, but you actually go out to the arête... I should've read the route description). An awesome steep line on firey orange rock that merges naturally into funky arête climbing. Marred only by the first few metres, and the bolts being several metres in from the arête.
	21	★★ Purkinje Arette - with Heath Black	Sport 75m, 34	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 6th Aug 2018
Objectively this is pretty good (despite some crozzly rock), but by this time of day Neil and I were suffering in our aggressive shoes, and it was hard to fully appreciate it. P1 is a pleasant slab with an old-school vibe (like Barton's effort at The Wolgan) and a few feisty moves. P2 I a proud, slightly intimidating, unrelentingly techo arête which goes on forever and ever, all the way to the moon.
	19	★★ Baldilicious	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 17th May 2020
Second clean. At the grade, this is a pretty outrageous position and climbing up cool features. Rock isn't perfect, and access is a bit tricky now that the rap-tree has burned down, but for an easy route its worthy. Scoopy.
	23	★★ Rocket Girl	Sport 50m, 16	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 17th May 2020
A rather stacked middle section of thin moves! Maybe hard at the grade (24ish?). A long pitch with continuous climbing and no camp-out stances. Obviously untrafficked (with all the usual caveats in such circumstances) but totally worthwhile. Technical!
	25	★★ Weaponhead	Sport 48m, 14	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 17th May 2020
2nd shot. Very thin, with some proper spicy runouts. Had a really good First shot (draws on, no beta) until I broke a footer off in the final crux, while doing the sequence correct . Went down next lap, but not without some fiery remarks. Stacked hard sequences with no rest. Maybe 25/26? Hard at the grade at least. Rock is a mixed bag.
	24	★★★ A Pill for your Vain Pain	Sport 50m, 15	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 17th May 2020
2nd Clean at EOD to exit the crag. The route of the day for sure! Very sustained, unerringly thin, and probably the best rock I've seen on this wall. Probably entry-level 25 due to its relentlessness. Very complex moves. Really, the only negative is that the last 6m or so is not great rock.
	21	★★ Comb Over	Sport 35m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 24th May 2020
2nd Clean. Much better than Advanced Air Studio in climbing and rock quality (though quite a fair bit harder and with less exposure). A long pitch that just keeps getting harder, with lots of technical thin moves up top. Probably rather sandbagged. Still 22 even for this part of the world, maybe even 23 by modern standards.
