Excellent multi pitch night climb
	18	★★ Big Fat Fin Slappers	Sport 50m, 17	Scarborough Cliffs		Zac Schofield	Tue 7th Apr 2020
really cool climb, lead pitch 1, seconded pitch 2
	16	★★ Whale of a Time	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Wall	Sun 3rd May 2020
Geez the holds were all pretty thin, was pretty worked about breaking them, amazing with how much traffic it's had that it isn't already clean as. Great fun regardless. Lead as one mega pitch
	18	★★ Big Fat Fin Slappers	Sport 50m, 17	Scarborough Cliffs	★★★ Classic	Wall	Sun 3rd May 2020
Bloody absolute stonker of a route, great find guys! This one will became somewhat of a classic in the future no doubt. Incredible bomber rock, great exposure and good quality moves with a bit of pump thrown in. Love it. Lead as 2 pitches from ground to top in under 30min as the sun was drying. Simply a must do if you live nearby
	21	★★ Tim Tam Jam	Trad 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Wall	Sun 3rd May 2020
Bloody unreal line, feels great to have finally lead it after first top rope soloing it years ago. This is one to remember, it climbs so well. very different to the standard ledgyness that the rest of the Illawara is known for.

Easy...good view... rope drag on p2 ... good holds
	13	★ Escape the Dungeon	Trad 12m	Scarborough Cliffs		Tyler Sydney	Sun 28th Feb 2021
Not unenjoyable as far as climbs go. Possible to do as sport using bolts from adjacent climb
	20	★★ Send for Ken	Sport 15m, 7	Scarborough Cliffs		Tyler Sydney	Sun 28th Feb 2021
Felt at least two grades harder than the climb to the left of it. Agree with comment below that this is hard for a 20.
	19	★ Respect My Authoritie - with Alexander bacon	Sport 14m, 7	Scarborough Cliffs		Tyler Sydney	Sun 28th Feb 2021
Nice climb, maybe soft for a 19
	16	★★ Whale of a Time	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★★ Classic	Tom Harkness	Wed 1st Feb 2023
Super fun exposed climbing. Great first multi pitch.
	16	★★ Whale of a Time - with Thomas Morey	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★★ Classic	Tom Atkinson	Sat 15th Jun 2019

	18 19	★ OMG They Killed Kenny - with David Muir, Bruce Nichols	Sport 10m, 6	Scarborough Cliffs	Average	Tom Atkinson	Sat 29th Jun 2019
Traverse out was cool. Felt like the line of bolts were to far right to clip from.
	19	★ Respect My Authoritie - with David Muir, Bruce Nichols	Sport 14m, 7	Scarborough Cliffs	★ Good	Tom Atkinson	Sat 29th Jun 2019
Enjoyable climb. Crimps, jugs and some cool stances

TR Solo exit route. Bit overgrown, has potential if cleaned.

Great little crag for the gong area! This one is fun jugging
	23	★★ Inflation Station — 2 attempts	Sport 24m	Scarborough Cliffs		toby_xw	Sun 5th Mar 2023
Broke two holds and had a bad fall to the ledge, for me probably not worth it
	16	★★ Whale of a Time - with Aaron Abela 1 Sport 2 Second 3 Sport	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★★ Classic	Timothy Brunette	Sun 12th Mar 2023
Been on the bucket list for a while. Very windy!

Glad I went back to the car for the head torch!
	17	★★ Whale Watchers - with Gordon Wing-Lun	Sport 31m, 13	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Thomas Morey	Sun 4th Nov 2018
Did as one pitch, but communication on the top half of the climb is almost impossible. Fixed an 80m static rope to abseil in. The climbing itself is really good, what a great adventure!
	16	★★ Whale of a Time - with Tom Atkinson	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★★ Classic	Thomas Morey	Sat 15th Jun 2019
Night ascent with the lights of Wollongong below us. Fixed a single rope in to abseil on sunset. First pitch is a hanging belay, second pitch is an amazingly exposed traverse. The threatening rain never came but the wind picked up big time to add to the atmosphere.
	16	★★ Whale of a Time - with Kezzadawg, Saxon B-G	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Thomas Maxted	Mon 5th Oct 2020
First multi, what an adventure. Epic views and easy climbing make this one super enjoyable.

Really fun and relaxed climb.
	15 16	★★ Whale of a Time	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Steven Kay	Wed 29th May 2019
Perfect bluebird winter's day. Ok climbing in an awesome location. We climbed the first 2 pitches as one pitch using long runners without excessive drag. Easy for the grade but oozing exposure: I think 15 would be more accurate. It's a shame the third pitch wasn't longer. Thoroughly enjoyable
	17	★★ Whale Watchers	Sport 31m, 13	Scarborough Cliffs	★ Good	Steven Kay	Wed 29th May 2019
Good climbing up a nice wall with some brittle rock. The crux is easier than it looks with good footholds.
	15 16	★★ Whale of a Time	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Steven Kay	Sat 23rd Nov 2019
Done in 2 pitches. Easy climbing. Very soft at the grade
	21	★★ Tim Tam Jam - with Hunter Cole 1 21 50m 2	Trad 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★★ Classic	steve willson	Mon 15th Jun 2020
Great climb, I came for the crack and I wasn't disappointed. Will clean up nicely with a tad more traffic. Take a thin rope to squeeze though those bolts. Thanks for putting this great line up Wall
	21	★★★ Double Smoked	Sport 15m	Scarborough Cliffs		steve willson	Sat 18th Jul 2020
One of the best routes in the Illawarra, total classic.
	22	★★ Finger Blaster	Sport 23m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	steve willson	Sat 18th Jul 2020
Going direct on the crack is solid and fun.
	18	★★★ Le Crevasse	Trad 18m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	steve willson	Wed 29th Jul 2020
Another trad line in the Gong yeww! Nice climb on good rock. Thanks for putting it up. Doubles in .75-2 would be very comfy.

Nice route, took a big winger when a hold broke.
	21	★★★ Double Smoked	Sport 15m	Scarborough Cliffs		Stephen	Sun 7th Feb 2021
Took a couple goes to stick the first dyno but strangely found the upper half quite challenging
	17	★★ Whale Watchers	Sport 31m, 13	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Simon Sharples	Sun 24th Feb 2019
Great climb on good rock with some fun moves and an interesting crux. Didn't get to do whale of a time because there was a group of 3 on it, but I'm glad I did whale watchers instead because they were saying that whale of a time is almost too easy. Definitely will be going back to try more climbs!
	16	★★ Whale of a Time	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	SiGuy86	Wed 11th Jul 2018
"moonlight" ascent. Great fun at night

Beautiful and cruisy climb! Easy all the way with great holds except for near the end of pitch two. Tricky section with quite the runout for a bit of spice. Pitch 2 was the money pitch with lots of exposure and scenic views overseeing the whole of Wollongong and the ocean. This multipitch is siiiick 🤙.

1st multi pitch and a climb I've long wanted to do. Understanding the multi-pitch systems was far more difficult than the climb. Plenty of holds, it's really quite easy if you're not too worried about the exposure. You certainly wouldn't want to fall on the traverse though as that would be awkward. Such awesome views and photos!
	18	★★ Yellowrette - with Scott B, Doug Moore	Sport 18m, 9	Scarborough Cliffs		Rick Ward	Sat 12th Dec 2020
Plenty of holds, good climbing, a soft 18 but a great warm up after a long time between climbs
	19	★ OMG They Killed Kenny - with Scott B, Doug Moore	Sport 10m, 6	Scarborough Cliffs		Rick Ward	Sat 12th Dec 2020
Fairly cruisy first half, but got a little pumped towards the end and the moves/holds to get to those anchors make it 19. I failed both attempts despite being certain I'd worked it out!
	19	★ OMG They Killed Kenny - with Scott B, Doug Moore	Sport 10m, 6	Scarborough Cliffs		Rick Ward	Sat 12th Dec 2020
Damn that end crux
	17	★★ Tiptoe to Brinksville - with Scott B, Doug Moore	Sport 27m, 10	Scarborough Cliffs		Rick Ward	Sat 12th Dec 2020
The hardest part is the most exposed part when you start heading up the arete and gives it the grade. The rest is just amazing view exposure climbing. A comfortable multi out for 3 happy climbers
	16	★★ Whale of a Time - with Stuart	Sport 50m	Scarborough Cliffs		Raddoggin	Wed 2nd Sep 2020
Nice easy climb, watch out for the falcons.

Awesome views and exposure. Flakes on pitch 2 (traverse) aren't solid which adds to the experience, climb a half body length above the draws to follow the line of footers. Awesome climb and easy finish. Make your belayer take a camera and you lead on the second pitch for the money shoot.
	17	★★ Whale Watchers	Sport 31m, 13	Scarborough Cliffs	★★ Very Good	Phuong Ho	Sun 10th Mar 2019
The Cruz is just above belay for WOAT, nice moves once you know where the holds are.
