	14	★★ Organ Grinder - with Stephen Roche	Trad 60m	Wolgan Valley	★ Good	Glenn Southern	Sat 17th Aug 2019
Accurate name
	14	★ Death-bed Confession	Mixed trad 60m, 10	Wolgan Valley	★ Good	Geoff Cooper	Sat 28th Sep 2019
Went left to tree at top of P2 and belay off 2 good fixed hangars. Then abseiled off tree to base using double 60m ropes
	14	★ Boulder Climb	Trad 81m	Wolgan Valley	★ Good	Geoff Cooper	Sat 28th Sep 2019
P1 was quite good with adequate pro. A variety of moves including the odd jamb, layback, chimney and highstep. P2 was very poor with leaf and stick litter on sand with very little pro. Bailed from tree (60m rope doubled only reaches deck if you abseil back down to start of climb - not out left where the ledge falls away). P3 looked quite nice but will have to return for that one. Needed doubles of #0.75, #1, #2 and #3 with a #4 also. Would feel very safe with triples. Slings on trees at P1 and P2 are past their prime

	14	★ Death Bed Confessions (Alt) - with Chanté Fisk	Mixed trad 30m, 8	Wolgan Valley	★ Good	Brendon Flanagan	Sat 5th Dec 2020
Excellent and consistent for the grade. Only needed two cams to complete the route. Carrots are a little run out however it's all on good climbing with no choss from the fires.

Awesome 1st pitch, rubbish 2nd pitch.
	14	★★ Polymorphic	Trad 60m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen	Sat 20th Nov 2021
Overhung fist crack chimney... Grade 14... Pick one 😂 Explosive choss wrestling at its finest down low followed by a bomber groove, take a 4 or 5 and some 1970's style chimney grunting skills. Probably a classic of the genre, giving it three stars idgaf
	14	★★ Polymorphic 1 14 60m 2	Trad 60m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Scott	Fri 21st Jan 2022
Late start so just did first pitch. Awesome climbing! Don't expect a modern 14

Great climb...however probably under graded for a 13. Descent really need 2 50/60m ropes. P1 lead = ME...P2 Lead = Dad.

I found this to be quite an adventure. Choss all the way, massive rotten chockstones for slinging, and a grovelling exit with great exposure! One star just for the experience!!!

Excelent exciting adventure climb. Linked P1&P2, and P3&P4 together. P1 is beautiful and can be done as a single pitch. P2 really enjoyable funky climbing in to the corner under roof. Belay stance was on top the suspended somewhat worrying block but good pro (sml-med cams) . P3 was probably my most exciting trad lead yet.. #4 deep in under roof crack then a couple of pumpy moves. Continue corner crack to top. Belay off tree which had on it slings and biners. 2 x 70m ropes easily got us to the ground in one rap with rope to spare. 60s might just work to but best to check!
	16	★★ Conspiracy - with Andy 1 16 15m 2 16 20	Trad 35m	Wolgan Valley	★★ Very Good	Greg Blachon	Sun 20th May 2018
First ever trad lead on second pitch... but ran out of large cams near the top so had to traverse right to the chain at the top of what should be "Barton's Effort".
	23 M0 24	★★★ Smash Hits	Mixed trad 30m, 5	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Fri 29th Aug 2014
Flashed using the original M0 rest with a tonne of beta from Neil. Amazing featured climbing that keeps getting harder and harder all the way to the final boulder problem at the top. Quite run-out (5 bolts -2 close together- and 1 piece of gear in 30m is exciting), and the crucial #3/#4 cam down low protects a monster ground fall, but the stunning climbing (which would be a borderline megaclassic elsewhere) makes it all worthwhile. A rarely climbed masterpiece of technicality.
	22	★★ Dien Bien Phu	Mixed trad 25m, 6	Wolgan Valley	★★ Very Good	Keith Hannan	Sat 11th Sep 2004

	21	★★★ Tranzister	Trad 40m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Ben Jenga	Sat 18th Aug 2018
The reason we came here 7 years ago (but forgot small gear) and the reason we came back today. Great onsight by Emil which set the theme for many flash repeats placing gear. Hard pull at the crux roof with bomber gear then good crack holds above.
	21	★★★ Tranzister - with Paul Frothy Thomson, Heath Black, Emil Mandyczewsky, Jason McCarthy, Jenna Brady, Ben Jenga	Trad 40m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sat 18th Aug 2018
Basically an onsight placing all the gear but there had been talk of the route all day and so i had a bit of an idea of what the crux entailed. In true form though everyone else's tall person beta was of no help to me! Really great climb but insanely cruxy. Absolutely eats wires and if you had a double rack of them you almost wouldn't need to bother with cams.

awesome, loved it solid for the grade and just enough gear to keep it sane, managd to get a vertical big bro in a slab!

Tuff warm up, I can tell I haven't climbed many slabs recently cause this felt hard. Great fun though.
	20	★★★ TDM	Trad 35m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Ben Jenga	Sat 18th Aug 2018
Placing gear but with chalk all over it I can't claim an onsight. I think this is better, harder and longer then tranzister. Great rock on this one.
	20	★★★ TDM - with Will Vidler	Trad 35m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 18th Aug 2018
Flash placing gear. 8m of brilliant and sustained thin/finger crack (that I found quite challenging), and lots of "pretty good" crack climbing. We really should trundle those loose blocks in the bottom 1/3rd to make it an even better route. I thought this was tougher than Tranzister (though not as good).
	20	★★★ Barton's Effort - with Jason McCarthy	Mixed trad 35m, 8	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 18th Aug 2018
No-beta flash, but Jason McCarthy had kindly equipped and chalked up the route for us. Doesn't look like much from the ground, but climbs brilliantly, and with some spicy spaced bolting that is just on the right side of sanity. Very technical, varied, wandery, sustained slabbing. Reminded me of The Belles, The Belles at Railway Cliffs (which is a good thing!)
	20	★★★ Ishtar	Trad 50m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Jason McCarthy	Sun 19th Aug 2018
One of the best crack routes at the grade anywhere. So good.
	20	★★★ Barton's Effort - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Mixed trad 35m, 8	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sat 18th Aug 2018
Went up it at the end of the day in the light rain with no beta to get the draws back. Truly awesome varied and improbable slabbing with a bit of spice added by the bolt spacing. I learnt that runout wet slabs are hard and scary.
	20	★★★ Ishtar (Ishtar P1) - with Heath Black 1 20 25m lead by Will Vidler	Trad 25m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 19th Aug 2018
Flash placing gear. Seriously good jamming after only two metres of choss. Great varied crack climb on crazy slick rock! Should join the list of must do classics at this crag! Glad you persuaded me to do it Neil!
	20	★★★ TDM - with Peter	Trad 35m	Wolgan Valley		Roman	Mon 3rd Aug 2020
Best route of the weekend! The finger crack section has incredibly satisfying finger locks..the whole climb was just stellar! everything had good pro. Loved 0.3-0.5 cams. And lots of medium nuts. Only saw now from the description that I didn't actually finish it.. As I rapped off the chains.. Oh well.. Guess I'll have to do it again 😋
	20	★★★ Barton's Effort - with Grace Mackie	Mixed trad 35m, 8	Wolgan Valley	★★ Very Good	Ben Hanley	Tue 1st Sep 2020
Felt somewhat bold for the grade with spaced bolting. I think I strayed a few times into the route to the left but just couldn't see any other holds that looked OK for the grade. Interesting technical face climbing throughout.

	19	★ Agent Orange	Mixed trad 90m, 3	Wolgan Valley	★ Good	Lauren van der Mast	Sat 20th Sep 2008
I have now climbed at The Wolgan! Amazing!
	19	★★ Lysander	Trad 56m	Wolgan Valley	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Fri 29th Aug 2014
Awesome climbing with some funky positions through steepness. Playing in the infamous sandpit (lie-sand-der) wasn't so bad, but the full-on run-out squeeze chimney to the top was a bit intimidating. Very trad.
	19	★ Agent Orange	Mixed trad 90m, 3	Wolgan Valley	★ Good	Rene Provis	Sat 27th May 2017
First pitch only. Low crux, a little sketchy, then fun moves through the scoops. Worth a lap.

Too much beta spray about to log an onsight!
	18	★★★ Sizzler	Trad 81m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Jason McCarthy	Sun 19th Aug 2018
Great to tick off this classic. The middle wide section was quite tricky. Perfect rock.
	18	★★ Decline and Fall (Decline and Fall P1) - with Heath Black 1 18 20m lead by Will Vidler	Trad 20m	Wolgan Valley	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Sun 19th Aug 2018
Flash placing gear. Funky corner that is way easier than it looks. I finally got to use some of my micro cams and in a short section of absolutely amazing rock! It gains an extra star from me just for that.
