Routes in Nowra

Extension of 'TP'.

You guessed it crimping and slope slapping at its best.

Start: Next line right of PS

Hard 22

This is the direct. Hard to believe it goes at just 23. Well it does if you don't rip your finger nails off trying.

(The line no longer exists) Sit start just right of Mr Olympia and go up RH to the pocket and head left to join Mr Olympia and finish up that problem.

Sit start and up right to finish at the break.

Crimp off the bad hold, mono off the bad hold high step off the lousy footer.. You get the picture

Start on the left hand edge of the boulder. Stick clip the first bolt and a low bolt assists with keeping the rope out of the start moves.. Thug your way up the start or have a technical brain about you... Finishes on the same anchors as Cheesy Noblicker

up the fun stuff. although tempting stay straight big holds on the left at top not in.

Another Nowra steep ultra-hard project abandoned, circa 1990's? Come along and claim it!

Sit start on jugs. Pull straight up into undercling and then traverse right to join Lime and Coconut, finishing leftwards (see that heuco? yes that one) to top out in cave. The sus block jug is eliminated.

A bit goey at the crux. Start as for Belgian Tourists but step right and up wall and over bulges.

Rings up arete above four pronged tree.

Start on the starting holds of Pearl Necklace but head left via shallow underclings and pockets to finish up Bumpy Boys.

Start up WBTM, traverse right into "Strike of the Silver Fox" then continue right through roof for a few more meters before turning the lip and finishing up head wall.

S2. Steep bottom section to slopey top half. Visible underwater rocks at low tide along with the ledge to the right. Take care when attempting.

Sustained goodness, hardish start, stick clip 2nd bolt if you aren't a boulderer

Fun boulder with a pipe ladder to come down.

Bulges. Route information needed.

On right side of the face, start on the two crimps in the hueco thing. Head up and left, before moving to the right to finish up Weak And Gympie.

The original start is now generally superseded by BWD

Start: Just right of the corner at a flake, as for BP.

Only goes up to the same level as where there's Pork. Rope drag (and ability)prevented continuation.

Up sun Machine then up on left of arete all the way to top left set of anchors

Start as for Nappy Nuggets but keep climbing right following line of holds right then back left to rejoin. Ledge on the ground is NOT in!

The steep arête & hanging lip starting just R of Jammer, with heaps of fixed nonsense.

Sit start and traverse left on the big undercut to join in to the crimps on 'Harder Than You Think'.

Project Steve. Campus start.

Another long abandoned hard-as-nails 'Nowra' project, probably circa 1990s. Give it a shot!

Sit start, left hand undercling, right hand pinching square pebble. Head up, trending left to top out. Note that arm barring the low boulder is allowed, but feet are NOT allowed on low boulder.

A little more reasonable still hard enough to have fun on.

Start: Next right of TCTS.

Hard last move

Low sit start at the back of the roof, big moves out following the break in the roof.

Start on the undercling and move up to the two crimps, then a long move to the first break. Go straight up from here to the next break it's Australia's first V11.

Links into 'Special Delivery'.

Crouch start on good sloper. Move under roof on slopers to small undercut/sidepull, massive move to roof lip, find shallow dish on face. Foot magic (toe hook maybe?) to gain other dish. Heel hook (maybe?) to gain finish. Looks in the V12+ range. Open to whoever can do it...

Sit start on the same hold as Blowing Blood but head right and finish up quite high as per Gorilla Grip.

S0. Just right of the cave. Double dyno from slopers to slopers. Not big but a hard catch.

S1. Just right of 'SOTD' on the steeper (just overhanging) wall.

Start on the left hand edge of the boulder. Stick clip the first bolt and a low bolt assists with keeping the rope out of the start moves.. Thug your way up the start or have a technical brain about you... Finishes on the same anchors as Cheesy Noblicker

Start right in crack, head left to join in to THTJB. Pocket now smaller and sharper.

Extension of "Sexy is the Word".

Sit start on slopers. Head up and diagonally left to top out.

A classic! What more can be said. As you may be aware to attempt this breath taking technical masterpiece you will need to climb solid 20.

Start: Next right line of bolts.

Was way mossy when first climbed as the winges on the neighbouring climbs didn't like getting covered in brush leavings. Will clean up after fifty or sixty deserving ascents.

Start: As for Itsa.

Has been rebolted? It's 5m R of Chinese Water Torture.

Completes the task of making CC a piking traverse in the middle of the wall. Goes where CC was afraid to step.

Start: Next right of CC.

Up awkward looking crack

Low start on blunt arete left of cave. Hard sharp moves up and abit left (not past tree) to a highball topout.

Marked with "V6 Sit Start". Sit start on the right side of the roof. Move out the roof to top out.

The bolted seepy weird crack.

S0. Either traverse left from triangle ledge or start from left. Out through honeycomb and up left nose.

Sustained goodness, hardish start, stick clip 2nd bolt if you aren't a boulderer

Start as for Monkey Grip (V9), finished matched in hueco above and left of start holds of Gorilla Grip (V10).

Same start as The Gympie Who Loved Me, but keep heading left to jug and pull lip here. Top out as per Gympie Kraft.

In middle of black wall under big white horn. 'Steep' slopey start past 3 bolts to comfortable rest then continue up the committing crimpy headwall past three more bolts to lower off.

Open project? Bolted arete.

Start as for Shaker Fries. Keep traversing left to the Beef Meister anchors.

2 metres right of Cereal Killer, up through gold towards the honeycomb roof.

Another long abandoned hard-as-nails 'Nowra' project, probably circa 1990s. Give it a shot!

Start with hands matched in good undercling. Go up, finishing at jugs above the sloper. Top out looks mank but might go.

Left side of the block at the base of decent gully.

Links start of Blunt into the finish of Velux, at least you can finish at the top of the cliff!

First 3 ascents done on gear. Now has ring bolts. There is a small - fist sized - rock that is loose above the roof. One day it will be loose enough to come out. Until then take a little care.

Start: Climbs crack and peapod 4m left of AVNS.

A nice line with good climbing, but quite a tricky cruxy. Might be reachy for some. Up the left hand corner in the alcove.

Short but desperately powerful climbing. Excellent. Originally climbed as Attack Mode to the fixed biner and given grade 32. Start at the huge handlebar jug right of the massive fallen boulder.

A lot better in that its hard in places. Do not let that put you off think strong and its easy.

Start: Yep right again from T.

Up, then head right at the flake, then up.

Nails hard start. Those dudes could really crimp it in the old days.

Start: Under arete now complete with new ring bolts.

Stand start on the jugs. Traverse right on the slopey break. Hardest V4 in the world... Can be done either direction.
