P1: Half way up very sandy, not really any need for chalk at this point.
P2: Not really a traverse just walking through a sketchy ledge cave.
P3: Long and super fun.
P4: Quite hard crimpy climbing with breaking holds.
P5: Becomes super dirty when approaching the loose stump.
P6: Super cool climbing with two quite hard mantles at start and top.

Just a standard day on the cliffs!
Finding bolts before the base jumping platform (coming from the north) we decided to rap in (there's only one route on the wall after all. Don't do this, the rap point is on the southern side of the platform. I abseiled down the full length of our 55m rope and just managed to pull in on some trees to the anchors at the end of pitch 2. We were unable to pull the rope down (due to the immense friction caused by the big overhang) and Mike had to ascend the rope. We decided to climb as a 3 because Mike was buggered, so off we went, one rope starting to show its core from the rubbing. Yahoo! The climbing is good. Some fun holds and exposed traversing. Quite chossy (Mayank pulled down a face sized slab of rock he was using as a handhold...) Pitch 3 was decent with a cheeky traverse, pitch 4 has some fun moves onto the face but crimpy (many holds have broken here, it might be 19 now?). Pitch 5 is fairly easy but very dirty, dig into the sand for the postive holds. The final pitch was my favourite, a mantle crux and an arete crux. Some big sloper moves and the satisfaction of being off that dirty-ass wall. Take headtorches, snacks and a broom. |

Abseiled in one pitch with an 80 rope. The rope core shot about half way on a demo sharp edge. Scary stuff! The route was fun, tricky start to the 21, I hold broke higher up and I took a healthy fall. Would recommend for adventurous climbers. Hunter Cole

Top rope soloed the second and third pitches.
A cool wall and sweet outing for the Gong. But it's not quite a classic yet until it's cleaned up. Good climbing and great bits of rock on the second pitch but I reckon the first ascensionists (Nick Roach) should go back and knock off a load more loose stuff.... then it will be sweet and a quality outing. The crack on the 3rd pitch is a pearler but is also barely cleaned up. It's all there but would be much more pleasant and probably drop a grade if the muck was out of the crack. Get right in there with a screw driver and hammer. Nick Roach I reckon the aid rope on the 4th pitch should be replaced by some bolts. The rock is good underneath the loose stuff and the free grade is only 18ish. Will be totally safe and reduce the mank. Would bring it up another notch. A final good clean with a long handled stiff broom on the p4 ledge will make it a cracker mate. nice work back to climb the other route soon |

4 Bois 1 Dustpan. Absolute hoot of a day out on the this improbable, sometimes frustrating, but somehow brilliant route. We took a dustpan on a sling, did a fair bit of sweeping but to be honest you should just embrace the gardening.
P3 is the money pitch for sure - exposed, fun traverse with an amazing view. That said, bolting seemed odd - it feels like the traverse bolts are a full body-length lower than the obvious climbing line. P6 Is also great fun, with some interesting moves. Took a whip when the amazing grapefruit-sized chicken head towards the top broke - I was trying not to crank on it, but sadly even a light dab was enough to send it. My missile thankfully missed Steven, working his way up the end of P3. Arete slap to finish is brilliant! All in all a super fun day out, definitely unique! |

Somehow, was convinced to come back for this. We brought a (new/unused) toilet brush.
The recent rain meant P4 was a mudbath, and the entire arete+topout of P6 were saturated making those moves a bit more interesting than normal!
Abseil #1 is doable as a 35m rope-stretcher (70m dynamic rope) Abseil #2 is closer to 38m with stretch, we used a tagline to make up the difference. P1 is choss with a few fun sections. Brushed a lot of dirt out of the flake, but there's so much above it that next rainfall will likely clog it up again. P2 is...quick, if nothing else. P3 is still a fun, airy, traverse pitch with good moves over generally decent rock - great lead by Scott! P4 is thinner than I remember, and we still broke some small holds off heading upwards after the traverse. Grade 19 seems more appropriate now. P5 is a travesty of a pitch of rock, especially after rain. I linked P4+5 which was a dubious plan from the outset, but we got it done... P6 is great fun, but was very wet. Popped off when a right handhold broke and I couldn't hold on to the soaked arete with my left. Not sure I'll be back for round three, but it's always a memorable day out on this route! |

Ropes got stuck on the abseil, massive drag, super hard to pull down. Did everything in our power to pull the rope down, only pulled down 5-6 m after a massive effort.
My suggestion is use two quickdraws or slings and biners to setup the first abseil (dont pass the rope through the bolts). The abseil anchors are also the top anchors for the last pitch. We had to micro pitch the last three pitches with whatever rope we had to spare. Awesome climb, pure adventure. Brittle, delicate and fragile. Anything you hold onto has to held with love as everything seemed like it might go off on full pressure. Pitch 4: (led by me) Awesome exposed traverse. Pitch 5: (led by Luke) Some scary movement and loose dirt section. Pitch 6: (led by me and Luke) Crux pitch. Mantle, lay back and mantle again. Well protected. We both had a go at it. The climb was in the sun till about 1.30 pm, got roasted. Sat on the ledge at second abseil station to wait for the shade. Awesome job by the bolting fairies to put this line up. Can't wait to go back and finish the whole climb. |

When holds around you are crumbling to pieces, when bushes you pull on are raining dirt, when ropes don't reach the ground, when fighter planes and helicopters are cruising around you, when birds have shat diarrhoea on crucial holds, when a colony of bats decides to migrate out because you have been shouting climbing commands at the top of your lungs. That's when you know that you deserve a custard filled almond croissant in a town that is 20km out of your way home.
A perfect adventure climb. Finally feels good to finish it as last time we got stuck on the first abseil. A big thank you to Dave Burt and Nick Roach to put this line up. I would reckon it would have been a bit of mission to find and figure this line out. And I was meaning to ask if you guys used a skyhook to bolt this beauty? And hence it got its name? |

We fixed a 54m dynamic rope to just barely reach sketch ledge, then rapped from there to the ground with another rope. Belinda led P2 as her first trad lead, then freed P4! (FFA). I freed it after her too, and it seemed to be about 19, but it required pulling on loose chossy blocks that could fall in your face, so I wouldn't recommend it. Belinda led P5 as well for the complete trad experience.

Loved this whole route, even with all the choss and dirt, real adventure feel about it. First up the first abseil is definitely doable on a single 70m rope BUT the second abseil is not, would absolutely require an 80m for a single rope rap. Ideally the first climber would carry a big brush for cleaning, and the second a hammer for breaking off dodgy bits of rock, though with more traffic this will definitely clear up eventually. Perfect bolting by the setters, well spaced and definitely the right setting for the grade and style. No sign of the birds nest mentioned on the final pitch in the pocket so may have vacated now.
Great climb but definitely not for the inexperienced, do not make this your first multi and do not do this if you're only just climbing at or just over the grade. There's more potential in this area for other link ups or directs, but well done again to the setters for the phenomenal effort of finding a way up this cliff! |

A memorable experience, will probably only try this whole climb again if some bolts are added on this pitch. Had a massive scare when traversing left very far from any gear a foot broke, luckily I still held on. Then traversing back right through the bush is also terrifying, not much bad gear let alone good. Also once committed to the traverse I don't think there's any way to bail until the end of the pitch. Very impressed Simmo managed to link the first two pitches. Also falcon baby is on the traverse ledge, probably worth avoiding for the time being we got very swooped.

Turns out I accidently did this when I though i did storms at sea, probably what led to picking the wrong rap down the monkey rope.
Really fun half day out, the bolting at the crux is interesting. Was fine for me but wouldn't want to be falling on it (not super bad just low to the ledge). Also made it to the ledge after the first pitch with a 60m static rope, and tbh to me not worth going all the way down to the bottom. |

20R The runout on crumbly rock is absolutely terrifying only to find terrible gear that would rip. Then traverse 10m across bush which seems to be floating. Be in free solo mode as you'd probably take a 10-15m whip on second if you fell here. There was a falcon nest 5m left of the cave with a little chick and the parents weren't happy so prepare for 45min of getting swooped. This could use a bolt at the cave with a perma rope to p3 belay to keep things safe.

Exposed and adventurous stellar views of the coastline. Big props to the legends who bolted this line up there with the best multipitches I’ve done. Took a fall on the 5th pitch slipped of on a slopey foot and did the slowest barn door ever. Took a decent fall on the last pitch crux trying to slap the arete seemed a lot harder than 19 compared to other pitches in the climb vital holds must have broken felt more like 20-21.

Such a fun adventure! As filthy as some of it is, it honestly just makes the adventure what it is. Couple really good pitches in there of clean climbing. Thanks to everyone for getting rid of all the crap holds before us managed to do it all clean and didn't break anything off. Took a brush and cleaned a few spots up along the way too and some rubble at stations.
Second rap 10m in when the cliff drops away from you is pretty wild! We took 3 60m ropes, fixed one at each rap and tied those two together when we got back up to the top of pitch 3 to pull it all at the end

Not sure if sandbagged or I just completely forgot how to climb. Spectacular view and close proximity to Sydney.
Lower 2 pitches are super grubby, Expect to get dirt everywhere. Top 4 pitches are some fun climbing with interesting moves and good variety. Pitch 3 being the money pitch. Lost some confidence on lead when started pulling every 2nd hold off with me. Took some falls as a result. Worth noting you can leave your 2nd abseil anchor in place as you climb back to this ledge. Also the string is no longer on the tree at the start. It was easy to find with the route description. |

This is certainly worth it for the view alone, and then there are some good bits of climbing in it, well done to the legends who bolted this, it would have been a hard line to find! The approach is also super easy (as long as you don't get stuck in the abseil like I did, but I ain't doing this mistake again!!!), and as long as you don't mind dirt and traverses, this is an awesome adventure.
WARNING: the line is quite a zig-zag, so be very careful when abseiling so that you don' go past the ledge with the anchor on top of pitch 3 (there are lots of ledges), where you need to start the second abseil. I was thinking I had to go lower, and I basically got to the end of the ropes without finding the anchor, and then had to prussic up ~40m, which took a LONG time and gave my hands blisters — all well deserved for being too relaxed about the abseils... I also found no string on the fallen tree where the route starts (as per the description), but the line of bolts was obvious enough that finding the start was easy once (finally!!!) on the ground... P1: quite a fun climb, a bit of dirt/mud towards the end, but a nice overhanging problem at the start. P2: well, this is a unprotected walk... at least the trees mean a fall wouldn't be so bad? P3: absolute money pitch. All the mission to get here is worth it just for this pitch honestly. P4: some more traverse fun. P5: this starts ok, then it's a bit shit. Too much dirt, tree on the way, just a bit shit... P6: a sting at the end of the mission!! This is a bloody hard pitch to onsight, I guess the grade 19 is fair when you know what you're doing, and because it only really is 1 or 2 moves at the end. But still feels hard. To get it on the onsight is tough!! |

Oh my, What a climb!! The fist two pitches need a good scrub down...Possibly with a shovel. this climb is a slightly sandbagged, surprisingly well bolted, foothold crumbling, dubious crimp pulling, Exposed traversing, all-round multi pitch sport adventure! Try to avoid the biting gecko on the last pitch. The surrounding lyrebirds will start yelling "Rock" soon enough, there is still plenty of loose stuff on the climb the train the birds up. I would call it more scary than hard. defiantly extent the first anchor at the rap point, pull down would be difficult without the extension.

A fun mini-adventure. Good mix of jugs, thin face climbing and good corner cracks. There's also a good mix of rock quality 😉
Sadly fell off on the delicate traverse on P2 so can't claim the clean tick. Topping out the climb is heinous and muddy. Seriously consider leaving a bit of rope at the top out anchors. Also combined P4 and P5, which is a good option to save on belay faff, no significant issues with rope drag. |
