Walk off via faint trail heading right towards the Nepean.

Start up Charlotte's Climb and veer right on the ledge to climb the layback crack. DRB a few metres above.

A variation to Orion done in the 60s: "A slanting crack, L to R in upper part forms a good variation ... Dougle and party." [JME 1967] also shown in topo [BA 1963].

1. As for Orion to tree belay.

2. Right of orange corner to cracks, up, then traverse right at break to twin cracks on headwall ending below Bendy Bloodwood.

Climb the slab. The chipped start holds are not needed.

Fun moves to awkward ending. Left side of third main boulder.

Litte sandy arete on the other side of the candy cave. Not really worth the effort.

Slabby slopey angled mantle

Move through easy looking yet awkward start through bridging scoop towards the right. Finger lock the crack at topout and commit to the off balance awkward movement to finish. Strange.

Small line up obvious features on the left side of the downside of Crèche boulder.

How do I delete this route???

Far left crmip line on left side of EoS. Starting at highest holds on ramp, three easy moves to topout. Is also top section for traversing (right/left) problem.

Climbs left side arête of EoS. Start on left side, working to big cave hold with iron bar through middle, then traverse right onto front face and up. Dire consequences for failure, do not fall.

Some of the best rock on the wall with some sneaky pockets. Be careful with the top white jugs.

Good interesting climbing in and out of caves. The top is reminiscent of the descent gully walls at Nowra.

Alternative finish to Monks Wall, extending the climbing by 2 pitches.

From P10 belay of Monks Wall, climb straight up and right of chossy cave, better protected than any previous pitch. Once past the roof, follow the crack trending back left above the belay, and actually re-join the original Monks Wall route and probably belaying in the same spot. About 30m, grade 15 ish.

Another 10-15m of climbing straight up a short wall, leads to bush bashing up steep dirt. It's about 50m to good trees where the angle eases enough to un-rope.

The obvious offwidth near the right end of the crag.

Strong line up the massive leaning corner of choss... Start at obvious right hand corner. Up corner through roofs.

Goes free at 24 by traversing 20m left at top ledge.

Interesting historical note: the monster block that forms the first pitch used to be closer to the wall and higher up, but sometime in the 1970s it slid a couple of metres during a torrential rain storm. Many guidebook descriptions haven't been updated since the FA, causing confusion for many repeat ascentionists.
