Obesity Buttress Rock climbing 11 routes in cliff

An amazing line encompassing some highly unique climbing for the northern Illawarra. Technical start leads to some interesting powerful movement on the arete, followed by epic pockets on the lip of the roof with uncanny exposure! Mandatory 60cm extender required for the roof bolt and a long to extended draw on the bolt just before the roof is ideal!

As good as they get on the escapement, layback & jam your way up the obvious corner crack, lower off on the anchors of "Ration The Passion" or continue up. bring doubles in medium cams if you really wanna lace her up.

Desperate start (stick clip the second bolt if possible) leads to pleasant climbing, punchy and interesting climbing out the left side of the rooflet. Shares lower offs with Comfortably Numb. Could be hard if you're short.

Excellent pitch of sporting goodness. Start off the ledge close to BFFS second pitch. Bouldery initial moves leading to slab, interesting rooflet and more slab. Lower off (recommended) or top out and belay from natural anchors or BFFS anchors (possible but un-ideal) .

A massive overhanging beak South of Kenny's Wall. If you like exposure, this is the climb for you! Follow the track to the cliff edge from the main path. Look for rap bolts on back of a large block. Fix a rope and rap 46m to the ground and climb out on another rope. If you want to complicate matters. you can rap twice on a 60m rope doubled past the first set of double rings (this will be the belay later) to a second set of double rings at a large ledge. From there you can rap to the bottom. It is possible that you won't be able to pull your rope down after the first abseil. Use draws or slings to extend the rap bolts and make sure you have an escape plan in case the rope gets stuck.

1. 25m, 8 bolts. Climb through some weathered rock. don't break the fin, skip the double rings that you used to abseil (if you break the pitch here you can watch the leader on the harder moves at the top of next bit), and belay from the 2nd set of double bolts on a ledge in the corner before the airy traverse.

2. 18m, 7 bolts. Up corner to Ubolt then left and up. There is a double ring anchor on top of the hanging arete from which to belay the second.

3. 7m, 2 bolts. The third pitch is just one or two moves to get from this ledge back to the rap anchor at the top.

Start up the First 2 bolts of Big Fat Fin Slappers 2nd pitch before heading straight up the thin crack. Fantastic rock and good gear #1.25 and smaller.

The good-quality orange face and verdant corner above the pre-traverse belay of Big Fat Fin Slappers. Requires camalots from #0.3 to 1, (double #0.75 is helpful) and a couple of medium nuts.

Three nice pitches of bridging and laybacking up big crack system, no jamming required. Rap down Big Fat Fin Slappers 40m or so to big ledge and walk a few steps right to thin corner. Take two #4 cams (large grey camalot) for the laybacks on pitch 2 and 3, or even a 5 (we took 2 of each).

1. 25m (17) Thin corner then bridge around drummy block to ledge and around roof. At top of 2nd corner, step left onto wall to good red camalot break and wires to protect against nasty pendulum on exit. Wires to hand size gear on this pitch. Double ring belay.

2. 15m (15) Through roof and up ramp and wide layback crack. Double ring belay.

3. 20m (17) Past fixed tube chock and up short wide layback crack, Up easy ground on left. At about 15m step right and up scrub to tree (going direct up left is harder).
