Routes in Lower Blue Mountains

Starts on RTREP sit hold and ends on IP. Sweet line.

Do the start of RTR to the big ironstone ledge then mantle and up.

Big obvious offwidth feature to the left of the cave. Might be able to be highballed. Kind of grotty.

Up the obvious wall to the right of MD cave old chalk route

Climbed ground-up in some extremely wet conditions.

Bring a double rack #0.3 to #4, a single 0.2 and set of wires.

1. 25m (18)

2. 20m (20) - Save a 0.2 cam for the thin crack at the top! Originally climbed on the face to the left as 21R.

3. 30m (18)

4. 15m (10) - Continue doddling up the easy crack trending left. This pitch can be linked into the next one (or even the 6th pitch if you want). Originally climbed by taking a rightward line on jugs through the roof above the belay at 22R.

5. 15m (12)

6. 15m (10)

Route used to access top of cave for developing routes in the cave

Sloper Start left or right side with hands on top. Traverse to opposing side. i finish by topping out at end

Start on the bad crimps or sloper then up the various holds. Topout

Start on jug up crimps and topout. Landing is a little dodgy so be careful. Off width is out

Rail on right side of third boulder. Starts low on right side and climbs left on rail to slopey top out.

Same Start as Go Go Gadget but follows the left edge of the cave to finish on the flat ledge black jugs.

Phillip Booth

Obvious vertical feature on far right side of sector, with fantastic topout rails.

Layback start and through scoop

Sit start right of Anzac up to scoop via right sidepull undecling can be topped out in various spots as per the previous routes but the obvious is straight out

A very cool climb reminiscent of 'the sisters of fatima' up at the dam cliffs. Great beginner to intermediate lead climb.

start on low sloper to right and continue under roof to left. top out

Start on big jug and traverse right and finish on the arete

Start on the rail and dyno your way to the jug. Lack of feet makes it challenging

First Ascent - Adrian Brogan; 18-10-2010 Sit starts on second to last sloper on left side of blank roof. Tends left and up to sloper side pulls to finish high on awkward moves. V' Nice.

Crag classic. Start in the back of the cave, big moves on big holds. Finish on the high big sloper.

Phillip Booth

On the rounded nose left of 'Pump up the jam'. Get past the cave by propping up off boulder.

Open

Left again next to tree.

Slab walk up.

The right-hand face of boulder - requires a pad to avoid a nasty rock or a plonk in the drink - stabbing high step to snatchy layaway mantle and then straight up Matterhorn feature - an excellent problem.

Spread your wings and fly! A run-up dyno, catch, and mantle to the finish line

Start on slopey pinch and undercling climb up the slopes and top out. Very difficult estimated v9

Start on low jug on the nose. Then traverse right and up to the knob. Topout

Start matched on rail. Up to good sidepull using your choice of broken footholds. Throw to left sloper then a straightforward topout.

Steep styling, high balling, full cream dairy funk trust fun! Bring your tissues, 'cos your gonna love it, or cry trying! Brilliant line spotted by Adrian Brogan while hunting for something else...freaking schweet.

From the big undercling make a big move to a good incut rail.

The obvious prow on the free standing boulder left of the cave in the scrub.

Start on the bad crimps or sloper then up the various holds. Topout

Start on jug up crimps and topout. Landing is a little dodgy so be careful. Off width is out

Line starts at bottom right side of the small cave. Heads up right side to top and then traverses along lip to top out at the left side. Many variations for top out.

Move through easy looking yet awkward start through bridging scoop towards the right. Finger lock the crack at topout and commit to the off balance awkward movement to finish. Strange.

Start in the rad underslot, big moves to a high finish

The middle line on the Cave's far left hand side.

Start on the undercling up to crimps

Crimpy wall into the obvious dish and mantle onto the top. Standing start. Really nice.

As per choc ripple but skip the right sidepull undercling and go from the sit to the scoop for a nice tension move

The beginner climb. Finishes at the ledge next to the cave.

Awkward sit start on the arete side pulls, throw a hand up to a comfortable crimp and link with Ducky Junior, because family stays together

there is the perfect sloper hold right on the mark. this downclimb isnt hard once you know the way and is the best way to get down

Start at scoop and traverse right to big jug.

start matched in undercling hole and go up and along the crack then up through the gap. named after the march flies

pistol squat type start to an easy top

Climbs vertical line left of Crankin' Corner. Through weird side presses to top out on lichen ridden slope-y-ness.

Start in the good flake jug and traverse right until you can step off. Can be wet for very long periods of time.

Furthest right route slippery moss sloper.

Open

Harder than it looks.

Want to look like Ray in that iconic shot? Or Warwick on "Wokker's Roof", which if you look across the valley you can probably see? Or Doug on Fight Cub, just 7 grades easier and 50m from your car? Look no further than up, and back. Then get every 4 and 5 cam you own or can borrow, tie in, and take the trip of a lifetime across 20 plus feet of the finest horizontal offwidth sandstone roof crack you can imagine. (FFA-BD# 4.5 , 5, 5, 5, 5, 4 untie and walk off) second ascent one less #5.

Reality is separate, dreams are real. FFA E. Wells, J. Szeleky 2021.

Sit start, work your way up the diagonal crack and link to Wing It for the finish

Start on opposing pockets and up to the sidepull. Top out

Same start a KnobleKnob but go left to the knob on the left side to topout with the slopers.

Start matched on rail. Up to good sidepull using your choice of broken footholds. Throw to left sloper then a straightforward topout.

Problem starts in the cave on the far right side, traverses the sloper rail high, and then has a variety of endings...the many heads of the Hydra. The sloper rail goes at V3, the endings vary from V3 to V4.

Directly below the obvious corner crack which is the second pitch of Annelid Crack. Very good climbing, although can be a bit dirty. A great direct start to AC. One carrot bolt over the first ledge.

Project highball. Start on through holds and up linking two flakes up to a high and committing top out.

Same start as The nurse but then pushes left into the undercling match, a couple ok holds then the high finish as for Go Go Gadget.

Old chalk route to the left of SOL go up the ramp

Start cling on the hugging rock and continue to the left, good landing

Start as low as you can finish middle ledge

Up between dead arm and Johnson and Johnson.

Start in bottom right corner of small cave and work the low line along the back of the cave to top out at left.

On the right side of wall, standing start with high crimps. Single move -> pop to the upper rail.

Double side-pull start then up via crimps and slopes to the rail jug. A great problem and tricky until you figure out the beta.

Start on big jugs to pocket and small crimps

Sart as for Oreo but take the lower line of holds to small edges and drop into the start of Iced Vovo finish as per Iced Vovo. Bottom shelf obviously off

Alec Landstra

A short pumpy crack which is just too tight for the casual hand jammer. A climb that your small hand friends can laud over you.

Bolted. Waiting first ascent. Top section is crux.

start low left finish top

Start on big jug and traverse left to scoop.

start matched in undercling hole and go up and along the crack then up through the gap. named after the march flies
