Grade Route Gear style Popularity
21 Jaws

The easiest warm-up here abouts, and the third most popular route in all of NSW. Considered solid at the grade.

FA: Frey Yule

Sport 15m, 4
23 Off the Lip

FA: S. Richardson & F. Yule, 1992

Sport 15m, 7
25 Rubber Lover

One of the popular classics of the grade. Ringbolts and chalk show the way. All good fun. Lower-offs added 2004 and replaced 2021. This route originally went to a set of chains a couple of metres above the lower offs. The chains are still there. Was grade 26 but was chipped some time after the first ascent.

FA: J. Smoothy, 1992

Sport 20m, 5
26 Say Cheese and Die Mother F***er

Extension to Rubber Lover. From the anchors head up and left (runout) to the anchors of Microwave keeping away from the top of the cliff.

FA: rowan druce., 2004

Another Wave Wall classic. Was 28 until a combination of lightning and Justin Clark removed some holds.

Start up Tug Boat then move R into Point Break/Microwave. Roman

FA: Roman Hoffman, 2013

Sport 18m
32 Tug Boat

Start as for Birthday Salmon and truck up direct-like to join Staring at the Sea at the rest hole. From there bust straight up through the boulder problem that earns you the grade without stepping left into Tsunami!! Chug out the roof and finish at the top.

29 Tsunami

Was once one of the hardest routes in the Blue Mountains, and one of Mark's finest hours. Now a popular testpiece. Start in the middle of the wall. Stick clipping the first bolt is strongly recommended. WARNING: the fixed clip-n-go biners at the top are the dodgy cast ones which can snap. Inspect them for cracks, clip both, and if in doubt thread something else. Leah

FA: M. Baker, 1991

29 Birthday Salmon (variant)

Radness start to Tsunami. Start just right of Tsunami / Smoked Mussels, and boulder your way into Tsunami at the 3rd bolt.

FA: Benjamin P. Cossey. Done on my birthday., 2004

Sport 15m
26 Smoked Mussels

Stick clip. Up to 2nd bolt of Tsunami then head left and up past 2 more. Good bouldery moves the whole way.

FA: Mark Baker

Sport 12m, 4
29 New England Clam Chowder (link-up)

Start as for SM and climb it until just before the lob to the break and bust left and up to enter Sea Air crux.

FA: Benjamin P. Cossey, 2004

24 Shore Break

Punchy crimping to ledge then steep and tricky. Start just L of SW.

FA: W. Payton, 1992

Sport 15m
25 Cold Water Classic

The least popular route on the wall. Dawdle up steep start to large ledge. Boulder out steepness above (lots of close together bolts) to - no anchor? Backjump. Bolts on this route are not recessed and potentially bad.

FA: W. Payton, 1992

Sport 15m

A fun warmup with a sting in the tail. Left trending line with a couple of restful ledges to break up the action. Old spinning bolts replaced 2018.

FA: M. Pircher & Z. Vertees, 1997

Sport 15m, 5
