25 | ★ Chief Pocahontas
FA: Stewart Black, 1999 | 11m, 5 | |||
Descent Gully Walls | |||||
25 | ★★★ Cowboy Junkies
A total Nowra classic. Great fun roofing with very cool moves. Pity it is quite short, but at least you get a bit of exposure. This route starts in the exposed cave above the closed Mini Wall. Do not abseil down Mini Wall to get off - scramble off instead. FA: Ant Prehn & Giles Bradbury, 1990 | 15m, 6 | |||
Closed Mini Wall | |||||
25 | ★ Hyperactive Child
THIS SMALL WALL BELOW COWBOY JUNKIES IS CLOSED. AND IS VERY UNLIKELY TO EVER BE RE-OPENED TO CLIMBERS, PLEASE RESPECT THAT. FA: Paul "Punk" Westwood | 6m | |||
Butterfly Wall | |||||
26 | ★★★ Stone Roses
Fabulous, powerful and pumpy climbing up the amazing wall. Very hard for the grade. Used to be very easy for the grade before crucial holds were glued up for the FA of No More Gaps. The nasty mono became a duo tho' Start: Start below the obvious duo, which can just be reached off the boulder. FA: Ant Prehn & Giles Bradbury, 1991 | 25m | |||
Gunbarrel Wall | |||||
25 | ★ Asta Lavista Baby
FA: Paul Westwood, 1993 | 10m | |||
The Very Nice Wall | |||||
26 | ★ A Very Nice Sausage
A tough thin crux, but not a bad route. FA: Ant Prehn, 1990 | 10m | |||
26 | Very Meaty
FA: Steve Bullen, 1992 | 10m | |||
25 | ★★★ Very Nice Cake
Great climbing which has always suffered from muddy runoff when it rains. Please brush the route when you are working it to keep the holds in good order. FA: Giles Bradbury, 1990 | 10m, 7 | |||
The Pocketed Wall | |||||
25 | ★★ With Pigs Blood
FA: John Passlow, 1992 | 15m | |||
25 | ★★ Butts Of Beef
FA: Steve Bullen, 1990 | 10m | |||

25 | ★★ Fine Cuts
FA: Steve Bullen, 1990 | 10m | |||
25 | ★★★ Hustle The Love Muscle
Links Electro Rooter directly into the upper half of 'The Hustler'. The improbable moves through the very steep pocketed rock that links the two climbs are intense but wickedly good. The first ascent was achieved without the additional bolt placement in the link-up. The bolt was added a couple of days later to avoid the inevitable carnage that would occur as unsuccessful climbers slammed back into the wall. FA: Paul Meharg, 2006 | 24m | |||
26 | ★★★ Muscle Hustler
Easily and often confused with The Hustler. The mega mega roof line that makes your neck hurt just to look at it. Looks improbable until you get up there and find out how big some of the holds are. Start on the very right hand side of the pocketed wall. Follow the permadraws left through the roof. Where they (and the chalk) continue up (The Hustler), this breaks left again (no permadraws!) through the top roof and up onto the amazing orange rock of the headwall. FA: Ant Prehn & Rod Young, 1991 | 35m | |||

FA: Paul Westwood, 1993 | 6m | |||
Little Grease Cave | |||||
25 | Ram Rod
FA: Graham Fairbairn, 1992 | 8m | |||
25 | ★★ Young And Dumb
Starts up in cave above walking track, either scramble direct up corner or around from the start of The Little Grease cave climbs. Out roof to arete and up this to anchor shared with FIGJAM. FA: Graham Fairbairn, 1992 | 15m | |||
The Grease Cave | |||||
26 | ★★ Inflatey Katey
Good fun. If you get the right beta, it feels more like 25. FA: John Passlow, 1992 | 12m | |||
26 | ★★ Blowing On The Ceiling
FA: Dave Filan, 1992 | 12m | |||
26 | ★★ Lost Weekends
The tricky off angle arete, used to be 25. FA: Giles Bradbury & Ant Prehn, 1991 | 15m | |||
25 | Lust for Life
Link-up with good (but safe) air potential. Start as for Lost Weekends. FA: Simon Atkins, 1995 | 7m | |||
Betty Blue Area | |||||
25 | Instant Death
Dangerous protection. FA: Ant Prehn & Giles Bradbury, 1991 | 20m | |||
26 | The Big Wank
FA: Andrew Bull, 1996 | 20m | |||
26 | ★★★ Funkenstein
Straight out roof, traverse left to rest then nice face climbing to finish with hands on top of cliff. Start: Start as for 'J'. FA: Stephen Hawkshaw, 2003 | 25m | |||
25 | ★★★ Sultans Of Swing (Linkup)
Maximises the climbing to be had on this fantastic wall. Extend your draws! ROUTE: Start up Shifting Sands and clip its last bolt but instead of pulling right onto the face, stay left and climb directly up to the first bolt of A Day At The Beast. From here, head left to join into Speed Boat Wankers for three bolts, THEN STEP LEFT AGAIN and finish at the anchor of Funkenstein. You may wish to finish at the Speed Boat Wanker anchor for a grade 24. ADVICE: The first bolt of A Day At The Beast should be equipped with an extra long runner (unless you like rope drag). You may wish to climb up to the Shifting Sands anchor then scoot left to preplace this protection. CLEANING: Can be done while getting lowered with some minor shenanigans and a re-direct (or re-thread) at the Shifting Sands anchor. There are numerous variations on this linkup but I assure you that this is the best one. | 28m | |||
26 | ★★ A Day at the Beast
Having climbed 'ADATB' traverse left across the lip of the roof all the way to the far end. CAUTION: Back-climb the fucker . Start: Start as for 'ADATB'. FA: M Law, 2000 | 30m | |||
25 | ★★ Tickled Pink
Straight up the groove, then slightly left and up to a great jug rest. Recover and fire out the airy crux. Start: Start 2m left of SL at slight groove. New anchor 23/6/2012 FA: Stuart Wyithe, 1992 | 10m | |||
26 | ★★★ Still Life With Chalk Bag
An absolute ripper of a climb and totally different to the typical 'Nowra' power mutant hard stuff. Start: Start on ledge above 'SL' FA: Giles Bradbury, 1992 | 20m | |||
Vine Wall | |||||
25 | ★★ Psychic Anal Breathing
A great line (with a bit of a kink). Some quite hard long moves. FA: Graeme Hill | 20m | |||
The Fossil Cave | |||||
25 | ★★ Rabbit Trap
The roof of roofs this end of nowra. Jugs the whole way but getting between them is the trick. Finish out left at the the chain not the new anchors. FA: Colin Berry, 1998 | 12m | |||
26 | ★★ Jurassic Pump
Another punchy roof classic. Take care climbing and back jumping, there is a decent gap between the fourth and fifth bolt. FA: Rod Young, 1998 | 10m, 7 |
