★★★ The Ape Factor - PROJECT
Blinded by the White direct finish with a really long span from good pocket to sidecling. Not yet bolted but worked on top-rope. Will be in the high 20s. | 18m | ||||
25 | ★★★ Faux Buoux
The best route here - a New 'Nowra' classic. Pockets of every variety from start to finish. Goes all the way to the top of the cliff. This is the middle line, which has a slight leftwards traverse once over the first rooflet. FA: Neil Monteith, 2010 | 30m, 14 | |||

Amazing limestone like pockets makes for some very cool climbing. Start left of hanging garden. Juggy steep start rightwards to sequency magic pockets. After these crank bulge then final pumpy headwall on large pockets and crimps. Amazing all the way. FA: Neil Monteith, 2010 | 30m, 12 | |||
24 | ★★★ Swiss Cheese
Easiest way up the mega pocketed wall - but still no cakewalk. Starts as for When the Wind Blows for two bolts then right past three bolts to join into Pocket Rocket for one bolt then finish out left through orange scoops and reachy finish bulge. Magnificent white undercling pockets as usual. FA: Neil Monteith, 2012 | 20m, 9 | |||
25 | ★★★ Pocket Rocket
Very unique for sandstone and quite sustained. Lots of great holds - the top half is French limestone like solution pockets, all facing downwards! Bouldery start over the undercut, then up the orange rock on flaky pockets to horizontal. Left and up into the perfect pockets with some incredible undercling moves to gain the steep juggy orange jugs to finish out right. Suffers from heavy seepage on one hold near the top of the route.

Good warm-up climbing the first half of Water Holes and lowering off big U bolt just over the rooflet. FA: 2010 | 12m | |||
23 | ★★ Water Holes
Immaculate rock and a slick slopey crux. Stem up tree for a metre to gain rock then take left line of bolts up very nice pocketed grey wall to blankness and big bolt. Sneak left to find hidden pocket, fiffle with some sketchy feet then back right to big sloper pocket. Long move then finish up orange bulge. If you lower-off the big bolt at the half-way point its a classic grade 16. FA: Neil Monteith, 2010 | 23m, 9 | |||
22 | ★ Delicious

22 | ★ SunnySide Up
5m right of 'Sun Dew' and right of major corner. Boulder over the undercut, up the jugs then traverse right across steep face to punchy finish. 'Fantastic' rock. FA: Jason Lammers, 2010 | 13m, 5 | |||

Sector 3 - The Cave | |||||
23 | ★ Kicking Heads
Fun slab, roof and corner with nails hard undercut start. Deduct 5 grades if you pull on the first bolt. Start by teetering up giant cairn to grasp massive jug on lip of cave. Curse and thrash at lip then up pleasant polished slab to massive roof. Skirt left and around it past halfway anchor bolts (use these to clean the route). Up black jam crack corner to high anchors, Stick clipping the second bolt is recommend unless you want to give your belayer a kick in the head. FA: Neil Monteith, 2012 | 20m, 9 | |||
25 | ★★ Forgot Me Knot
