Climbed originally on the carrots and trad gear. Now Full of great rings.

19 The Horse Has Bolted

You can top out from this climb, belay at rap anchor and walk around ledge (with care). Originally a trad gear lead with a start from the right and a grade of 16. Add the bolts and it gets harder? Starts a few meters left of the obvious corner crack, about 20 right of Groovy Tuesday. Climb past the conglomerate band and flake to the corner, surmount this then climb the slab above to the belay/ lower off.

Sport 14m, 7 New Nowra - Braidwood Road
13 Strike Path

The longest and easiest route on this first wall. A good one to start on. Start as for the first bolt on Bingo Wings however head straight up to slightly steep finishing jugs on the mini arete.

20 Je Veux vous Entendre Siffler!

The direct line up the wall then up the leaning corner. Keep going to the rap chains at the very top.

Hard crimpy start on the grey wall two meters right of THHB Direct. First few of bolts are shared with 'Whistling For Dinner'

26 Gratefully Dead

Done in the days of the carrot bolt and mixed gear. When you knew how to place a good runner and dyno into a finger lock. Now of course its full of rings, and if you thought the run out was pants wetting then I placed a couple more bolts just for you.

Start: Under the obvious overlap to the right of DH. A ground fall from the crux is likely if the draw unclips itself, which has happened on this route. A locking draw in the 3rd bolt reduces this risk.

FA: Hill

11 Traddington Bear

Ascend the face between LMS and the brushy gully. Start at LMS and move slightly right, then straight up. Stay left of the alcove near the LMS anchors. Top out and belay on slung blocks or other gear.

Apologies to G Hill for the name, I don't know what it should be called.

Start: 1 meter left of Little Miss Sunshine

A right diagonal used to block those new routers that may sneak another line in. Large jugs are what every guy dreams of and this route has lots.

15 Hill Does Crack

Start at the obvious diagonal crack on the right end of the LMS slab. There is a very faint '18' painted/chipped into the rock at the start. Climb up 7 meters follow the seam as it diagonals left. Top out, belay on large cams under blocks.

25 Heat Blast

Originally done on the old bolts alone, with a few rope stretching falls. Rings added later by Hill who dismally failed at trying to repeat the route. Name courtesy of Ben Ten.

Start: Under orange wall that leads up into the cave with two rings for lower off. Shares the first 2 bolts with CC, then steps across left to gain pockets and bouldery moves. 5th bolt is tricky to clip with a great move up to cave.

10 Yesterdays Hero's

The classic route from the 70s. Put up by the pioneers of the area. Just because they don't have a line of stainless drilled up em doesn't mean they're not climbs!

Start: Obvious big black slab around the corner right of 'Snacky Cakes'

FA: Bill James & Co.

Start a few meters right of Custard Cannon. Up the black blunt arete and continue up the slab to anchors.

22 I've Got Wood

The rock in the first 5 meters is so good I had to stick another route up it. More sustained than it looks.

Start as for 'Groovy Tuesday' then traverse left to the next line of bolts to anchors.

22 Les Vacances De St Rita

Takes advantage of all the orange rock it can. Others would swear at another contrived piece of shit from Hill but who cares. Boulderers do it all the time.

Start: Same start as shut the gate.

FA: V Hill, 2000

Sport 22m, 8 New Nowra - Braidwood Road
23 Hill Project zz9zpluralzalpha

The pick of the bunch. Goes up the sanest chunk of orange rock, in the most direct manner. Once around the roof the slab is easy.

Start: On the easy orange wall two meters right of the other route and just left of the cave.

FA: G Hill, 2011

Sport 21m, 9 New Nowra - Braidwood Road
24 Rita's Revenge

Great junk of orange rock to start and an easy slab finish. A direct start to Rita. Possibly a little gay at 24 but at least as hard as STG.

Start: Two meters right of 'Mouche Pique' at the orange undercut under diagonal thin crack.

FA: G Hill, 2011

Sport 20m, 7 New Nowra - Braidwood Road
21 Whistling For Dinner

A nice little wall that deserved a taste of steel. The orange rock in the cave is great and the moves up the right side of the arete just fine. Ignore the two bolts on the left side of the arête they're just a waste of stainless.

Start: Same two bolt wall start as JVVES to the ledge.

FA: G Hill, 2011

Sport 22m, 9 New Nowra - Braidwood Road
16 It Made Me A Moron

The obvious diagonal crack feature. Good gear and snappy holds will make this a popular trad route.

FA: Graeme Hill Russel Chunder, 1977

22 Time For Turnips

A really great way to use the rock as a resource to its best. It shares the same start and the same lower offs but all the rest of the route is completely different enough to want to climb it.

Start: Same start as the previous route just left of the cave.
