14 No Sorry It Makes Me Fart Unknown 9m Barrenjoey Good Sun 9th Jul 2006
Nice smeary, fingery between BR 1 and 2. Overhang at top also a good challenge.

 
10 Baby Steps Unknown 9m Barrenjoey Good Sun 9th Jul 2006
Really easy going - would be a good lead for a novice.

 
16 Angel 125 Unknown 10m Illawong Good Wed 17th Feb 2010
A fun roof, pity about overgrown chossy start

 
14 No Sorry It Makes Me Fart Unknown 9m Barrenjoey Good Sun 27th Jun 2010
An easy romp - perfect for beginner lead.

14 Sweet Dreams Mixed trad 130m, 20 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 20th Aug 2006
Great first multi-pitch ascent. Easy going all the way, and well protected.

 
14 Sweet Dreams Mixed trad 130m, 20 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 25th Nov 2006
Watch out for the summer sun - not a lot of shade. Bring plenty of water.

 
10 8 Hocus Pocus Mixed trad 49m, 15 Blue Mountains Good Wed 13th Oct 2010
Slippery in the rain.

 
17 Sweet Dreams Left Variant (Sweet Dreams Variant) Mixed trad 120m, 12 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 20th Aug 2006
Worth doing the variant finish - the rest of SD won't tire you out too much for this.

 
14 Set, Piece, Battle Mixed trad 50m, 8 Blue Mountains Good Mon 12th Oct 2009
Trivial first pitch, but gets better over the roof to top-out on the second

 
18 Terror Couple Kill Colonel Mixed trad 10m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Fri 11th Dec 2009
Good slab climb to overhang, then 3 committing moves to rings.

 
18 Terror Couple Kill Colonel Mixed trad 10m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Fri 11th Dec 2009
Good slab climb to overhang, then 3 committing moves to rings.

 
19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Sun 12th Dec 2010
Quite run out at times.

 
17 Currawongs & Chocolate Cakes Mixed trad 18m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 30th Nov 2009
1st to 3rd BR is very thin. Unusual for the grade, but great climbing!

 
18 Life's Pretty Straight Mixed trad 15m, 4 Blue Mountains Average Thu 15th Oct 2009
Seriously dirty after the dust storm

 
17 Enterprise Variant Mixed trad 15m, 4 Barrenjoey Good Fri 25th Sep 2009
Very thin start then easy sustained climbing. The variant finish is much easier than E, but is more run-out without the standard route's top bolt.

 
16 The Spartan Mixed trad 50m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Wed 24th Nov 2010
Zero exposure - quite disappointing. It's the scrunched up nature of the traverse that provides the difficulty. One of those climbs that looks more impressive from the ground, unfortunately.

 
17 Schizophrenic Sideburns Mixed trad 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Wed 20th Jan 2010
Hard going in the runout between bolts

 
18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 2nd May 2010
A fantastic climb with some fine committing moves

 
17 Factotum Mixed trad 15m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Wed 20th Jan 2010
Not as challenging as Sync

 
16 Professor Wigginsworth's Chunder Bucket Mixed trad 20m, 3 Barrenjoey Average Sun 9th Apr 2006
14 Carrie Bradshaw Mixed trad 12m, 3 Barrenjoey Good Sun 9th Jul 2006
Loads of bomber hand holds. Good clean fun.

 
19 Central Pillar of Mordor Mixed trad 20m, 3 Barrenjoey Good Thu 19th Nov 2009
The cam placement mentioned in the guide looked pretty flakey to me, which is a great pity because this line has all the makings of a total classic. Oh, for a bolt!

 
14 Carrie Bradshaw Mixed trad 12m, 3 Barrenjoey Good Mon 22nd Jan 2007
The juggiest holds known to man.

 
12 The Eyrie Mixed trad 45m, 3 Blue Mountains Classic Mon 12th Oct 2009
That cave is a pretty sweet belay station

 
18 Deathburger Highway Mixed trad 10m, 3 Blue Mountains Good Fri 11th Dec 2009
The very homemade hardware is an interesting touch.

 
16 Professor Wigginsworth's Chunder Bucket Mixed trad 20m, 3 Barrenjoey Don't Bother Sun 18th Jun 2006
Can't say I'm really sold on this one - doesn't have the 'flow' that a lot of better climbs in the area have. Of course, YMMV.

 
18 Deathburger Highway Mixed trad 10m, 3 Blue Mountains Good Fri 11th Dec 2009
The very homemade hardware is an interesting touch.

 
17 The Green Eyed Monster Mixed trad 22m, 3 Blue Mountains Average Sat 30th Oct 2010
Shows how a great route can be ruined by a cheap bolting job

 
14 Carrie Bradshaw Mixed trad 12m, 3 Barrenjoey Good Sun 2nd Jul 2006
Loads of bomber hand holds. Good clean fun.

 
18 Loki Mixed trad 12m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 21st Nov 2010
Fun and slabby

 
18 Synchronicity Mixed trad 15m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Wed 20th Jan 2010
Vintage slab climbing

 
15 Tombstone Wall Mixed trad 30m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Wed 24th Mar 2010
A challenging start and pleasant finish - tough for 15

 
17 The Allied Chemical News Mixed trad 25m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 2nd May 2010
Reachy and enjoyable, with a thin start

 
20 Mindblower Mixed trad 20m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 30th Oct 2010
Reachy trad section above the bolts

 
18 Marsupial Smearer Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Very Good Mon 22nd Jan 2007
Sparse difficult beginning moves, but great for it!

 
19 Arachibutyrophobia Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Good Mon 22nd Jan 2007
Tough from the very beginning to the second bolt. Super fingery and unprotected start.

 
18 Borcat Blues Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Very Good Sat 24th Jun 2006
Typical of most climbs on this wall - fingery slabs between horizontal breaks for cams. Nice moves.

 
9 Jezebel Mixed trad 11m, 2 Barrenjoey Average Sun 18th Jun 2006
18 Marsupial Smearer Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 14th May 2006
Sparse difficult beginning moves, but great for it!

 
18 Marsupial Smearer Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 14th Jan 2007
Sparse difficult beginning moves, but great for it!

 
16 Fairy Tales Mixed trad 13m, 2 Blue Mountains Good Tue 14th Sep 2010
Funny for 16 - take care with pro after last bolt.

 
14 Two Carrots Red (Unknown 1) Mixed trad 10m, 2 Blue Mountains Average Fri 11th Dec 2009
Juggy

 
16 18 Common Origin Mixed trad 15m, 2 Narrabeen Crap Thu 24th Sep 2009
The worst bolting effort I have EVER seen!

 
9 Jezebel Mixed trad 11m, 2 Barrenjoey Average Sun 14th May 2006
16 18 Common Origin Mixed trad 15m, 2 Narrabeen Crap Thu 24th Sep 2009
Worst bolting effort I have EVER seen on a route!

 
18 Tall Dwarfs Mixed trad 10m, 2 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 11th Dec 2009
The best of the three roofs. Bring some small wires for the crack.

 
15 Two Carrots Yellow (Unknown 3) Mixed trad 10m, 2 Blue Mountains Average Fri 11th Dec 2009
Some well connected moves.

 
14 The Mantle Machine Mixed trad 12m, 2 Berowra Average Mon 31st Aug 2009
Certainly appropriately named. The top mantle is awkward but well protected; the start is cumbersome. Not hugely satisfying.

 
16 Two Carrots Purple (Unknown 0) Mixed trad 10m, 2 Blue Mountains Average Fri 11th Dec 2009
Thinness between BR1-2 is the crux.

 
15 Two Carrots Orange (Unknown 2) Mixed trad 10m, 2 Blue Mountains Average Fri 11th Dec 2009
Bring a cam to protect after BR2

 
16 Two Carrots Purple (Unknown 0) Mixed trad 10m, 2 Blue Mountains Average Fri 11th Dec 2009
Thinness between BR1-2 is the crux.

 
18 Marsupial Smearer Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Good Fri 18th Sep 2009
A very thin start past the first two bolts - but he is the smearer after all!

 
18 Borcat Blues Mixed trad 20m, 2 Barrenjoey Good Wed 10th Feb 2010
Flared, sandy breaks make for some dubious cam placements - you're happier when you clip those bolts!

 
18 Resonance Mixed trad 20m, 1 Blue Mountains Good Mon 12th Jun 2006
Tough fingery/feature-sparse wall over the first bolt. Once you've passed that, plain sailing!

 
13 Two Steps Forward Mixed trad 20m, 1 Barrenjoey Average Sat 16th Sep 2006
Easy climbing just like Jezebel - not as well protected though.

 
20 Pimple Mixed trad 10m, 1 Berowra Good Thu 8th Oct 2009
Very hard start if you aren't tall, strenuous past the ring bolt, then fairly easy after.

 
14 Hemholtz Tunglebung's Stupidity Mixed trad 6m, 1 Barrenjoey Average Fri 25th Sep 2009
Unprotected all the way to the bolt before the top-out. The microcam placement the guide mentions is wishful thinking.

 
12 Watchtower Chimney Mixed trad 110m, 1 Arapiles Very Good Tue 20th Apr 2010
A great first pitch and an enjoyable chimney

 
15 Lost property Mixed trad 15m, 1 Mt Ku-ring-gai Average Fri 16th Oct 2009
Quite chossy, great pro in crack.

 
18 Resonance Mixed trad 20m, 1 Blue Mountains Good Tue 23rd Nov 2010
Tricky start past first bolt.

 
8 Sarah Trad 8m Clovelly Average Thu 3rd Feb 2011
Very easy up the ramp - head up the face to the left for a bit more of a challenge.

 
14 No 1 Crack Trad 6m Mount Keira Average Sun 4th Jul 2010
A strenuous start and difficult to protect down low

 
4 15 Crusty the crack (C) Trad 12m Berowra Average Sun 8th Aug 2010
Grade 4 - but still not sure I'd want to use this as the main descent gully!

 
10 11 Pedro Trad 36m Arapiles Average Tue 6th Feb 2007
10 D Major Trad 50m Arapiles Average Sun 4th Feb 2007
14 Kenneth's Climb Trad 10m Berowra Good Sun 6th Dec 2009
A good little crack climb, but careful with pro in the flaring crack.

 
14 Lamplighter Trad 78m Arapiles Good Mon 19th Apr 2010
Mostly an exercise in route reading

 
14 The Phantom Trad 31m Blue Mountains Good Wed 13th Oct 2010
Climbed in the rain. Run out traverse, but great hands.

 
15 Observatory Trad 20m Barrenjoey Average Sun 27th Jun 2010
The pro on this flaring rounded crack really isn't great - beware. Bailed and toproped instead - to my relief.

 
19 Leon the Klepto Cat Trad 20m Barrenjoey Good Sun 27th Jun 2010
Really tough traverse from cavelet to crack - well protected by a bolt though, so I think that with the cam up in the top break I might run a pink at this in the future.

 
16 Fat Wall Ordinaire Banana Blasé Trad 30m Mount Buffalo Very Good Fri 28th Jan 2011
Great climbing crack to crack.

 
17 Psychopath Trad 28m Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 2nd Sep 2010
Seriously sustained

 
13 Krill Trad 6m Barrenjoey Good Sun 2nd Jul 2006
Interesting move in middle - challenging for a 13.

 
14 Pledge a Legend Trad 16m Barrenjoey Average Sun 14th May 2006
11 Piccolo Trad 33m Arapiles Average Sun 4th Feb 2007
16 Pox Travels Fast Trad 15m Barrenjoey Average Sun 14th Jan 2007
Chimney start and fairly sparse on the face from then on. Short and no great rhythm.

 
16 Pan Pacific Wall Trad 16m Barrenjoey Average Sun 14th May 2006
17 Cramp Ons Trad 20m Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 14th Jan 2007
Excellent sustained climbing - well protected.

 
18 Cobwebs Trad 15m Barrenjoey Average Sun 14th May 2006
14 D Minor Trad 35m Arapiles Sat 3rd Feb 2007
18 Harlequin Trad 28m Freycinet National Park Good Tue 13th Feb 2007
Those that aren't crack climbers will find the first half of this very difficult.

 
18 Sand Syringe Trad 20m Barrenjoey Good Sun 14th Jan 2007
Pro gets sparse towards the top - have to sling the large dinner plate flake or make longish ascent unprotected. Excellent footholds and bomber cam placement soon after, though.

 
10 Ultimate Conception Trad 45m Freycinet National Park Good Sat 10th Feb 2007
Straightfoward climbing.

 
12 Marsala Trad 8m Berowra Good Mon 31st Aug 2009
A nice little natural pro climb up a crack.

 
16 Crackle Trad 30m Blue Mountains Good Mon 30th Nov 2009
Thin at the top with no pro opportunities - beware.

 
19 Long Line of Leanings Trad 15m Barrenjoey Classic Sat 29th Jul 2006
Great climb with interesting overhang start at cave. Pro is good - can see this being lead.

 
16 Crackle Trad 30m Blue Mountains Good Sun 11th Jun 2006
12 Second Echo Trad 18m Blue Mountains Average Mon 12th Jun 2006
Easy throughout. The beginning is effectively large stairs; the top is very slightly overhung and some fairly straight-forward moves get you through.

 
10 Cythaul Haul Trad 12m Barrenjoey Good Sun 2nd Jul 2006
A pleasant climb - route is nice and clean compared to other similar low grades.

 
11 More Tea Vicar? Trad 9m Barrenjoey Average Sun 9th Jul 2006
The climb is nothing to write home about - the view from the top is worth seeing.

 
19 Blue-Eyed Blonde Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Good Wed 14th Feb 2007
Delightfully fingery crack work.

 
14 C.S. Concerto Trad 50m Arapiles Average Mon 5th Feb 2007
14 The Obituary Trad 30m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 11th Jun 2006
Crux is the overhang near the top - a good challenge after the struggles of the layback start.

 
19 Not Your Average Cab Sav Trad 20m Barrenjoey Good Sun 28th May 2006
You're right, it isn't your average cab sav!

 
14 Pledge a Legend Trad 16m Barrenjoey Good Sun 28th May 2006
No pro across the traverse - just have to sack-up and punch it!

 
16 Pan Pacific Wall Trad 16m Barrenjoey Average Sat 16th Sep 2006
Lots of breaks for cams. Crux lies in top half, with section of sparse fingeriness.

 
14 Refusal Trad 25m Blue Mountains Classic Mon 12th Jun 2006
Laybacking at start, good chimney action at the top. Don't forget to bring your cams!

 
15 Fiddle Trad 30m Arapiles Average Tue 6th Feb 2007
11 Ray's Moppy Trad 10m Barrenjoey Average Sun 2nd Jul 2006
Easy climb that obviously doesn't get much traffic. Holds are a bit sandy.

 
21 Alchemy Trad 25m Freycinet National Park Classic Wed 14th Feb 2007
Delightfully fingery crack work.
