Trad | |||||
15 | ★ CC Rider
On the Block opposite 'Misjudgement'. FA: B.Turk, 1983 | 9m | Blue Mountains | ||
14 | ★★ The Obituary
Major corner crack and a popular all trad line. Beware, the route name is apt - there have been a couple of fatalities on this route. If in doubt don't run it out. FA: B.Blunt & J.Lorinez, 1974 | 30m | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | ★★ Atomic Punk
Classic face to the right of the Obituary. Quite unique rock. This is a mixed route, medium/large wires and multiple hand-crack sized cams required to back up the bolts. FA: R.Young & A.Prehn, 1983 | 25m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
21 | ★★ Oblivious
Start up Atomic Punk to just before it's first bolt - then traverse right to hanging arete (hangers). Finish up ironstone feature on the left side of the arete (#2 & #3 cams). Partially retrobolts the middle of the 1970s scarefest "Oblivion". FA: P.Mort & G. Short, 2004 | 20m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
20 R | ★ Oblivion
Was once a quite serious lead - but the addition of Oblivious' bolts has removed the worst danger. Climb Oblivious to the arete (a couple of bolts) - then climb straight up mossy arete (steadfastly ignoring bolts to the left on Oblivious). The little orange arete up top is still a little heady (good large cam at feet before committing). Tree belay well back. FA: M.Law, .Penney & J.Smoothy, 1978 | 30m, 2 | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★ Oblivion Variant Start
Starts 4m right of Atomic Punk/Oblivion. Solo 6m up wall just left of fragile scoops to ledge. Traverse left to arete (two old BRs) and finish up Oblivion's arete. It's possible to clip at least one bolt on Oblivious on left side of arete. Misidentified as "Moss's Effort" in 2018 print guide topo. FA: M. Grey, 1982 | 20m, 2 | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★ Moss' Effort
For many years this route was incorrectly shown in the print guide as the arete left of Confessions. The route is actually the subtle seam crack right of Confessions and 1m left of Refusal - and directly behind an old dead tree stump. A rusty carrot is about 5m up. Original description was "1m right of Oblivion Variant Start. BR to ledge, wall (2 BR), escape right to crack. avoiding obvious finish up wall". The obvious finish is now Confessions' finish. FA: S.Moon & J.Smoothy, 1983 | 25m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ||
14 | ★ Refusal
Corner to the right of ME. FA: B.Blunt & J.Lorinez, 1974 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
17 | ★ The Knights of Nee
FA: J.Smoothy & F.Lumsden, 1984 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
Sport | |||||
22 | ★ Safety in Numbers
Contrived face just left of the Obituary. First bolt is very high up. FA: G.James & David Gray, 1985 | 25m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | Confessions of a Wannabe
The ringbolted wall left of Refusal - starting from the ledge. Appears to climb the abandoned upper headwall that was bolted as part of a direct finish to Moss' Effort. Slabby climbing to third bolt and then up. Runout between 2nd and 3rd in the flake section (be careful). Originally graded 22 - but recent attempts have it pegged at more 24+ - possibly missing a hold between first two bolts. FA: B Ashby & J Zadro, 2004 | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains |
