22 | ★★ Sahelanthropus
3D and technical through blocky steepness. Hard cruxes between good rests. Belayer should pay attention during the moves between the first and second bolt, as they're hard, and a bad catch could be catastrophic.

V4 R | ★★★ Dynamighty
A proper highball boulder problem. I recommend top Roping from tree above to work the high crux because if you fall from there you better have a lot of mats. VERY good climb but potential for injury if you fall from the top crux. The topout and walk off is achievable now that the choss from the jug over the top has been cleared away. FA: Philip Barker, 27 Nov 2023 | 8m | Blue Mountains | ||
16 | ★★ Ploughman's Platter
Great beginner lead climb. Start on the super easy slab. Move into the cave arete with a committing crux for a beginner climb. Enjoy the exposure. Head up to the crack or slab headwall. Lots of options. Serves as a good tasting platter for different styles of climbing. Lacks the massive exposure of the other upper cliff routes. Top rope anchors and chains are accessible by rappelling down to the top of the climb. Two sets of anchors at the top, left set is better for top roping and rapping.

21 | ★★ Gimme Your Fingernails
Easy crack to sharp crimps (trim your fingernails!) then slabbing into reachy crux 2 and jugs to the anchor. Commit to a long move for crux #2. Keep left of the crack (following the bolts) for the true tick. The start can also be climbed direct (through the rooflet) for some added gnarliness. Set: Philip Barker FA: Greg Ducky & Philip Barker, 18 Jun 2023 | 13m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | Extra Spicy
Start by getting up close and personal with the arete at the right of the cave. Rest on the super cool double edged flake (that won't break. Don't worry. We already tried. A lot). Use all you guts to rock into the slab and turn on full slab cruise control to the anchors. Set: Philip Barker FA: Philip Barker, 19 Apr 2023 | 20m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | ★★ Trust Issues
Accidentally bolted the wrong line but so glad I did! A great climb starting with a boulder problem and then slabby footers and balancy crimping. Two cruxs, one being right before the anchors. Set: Philip Barker FA: Philip Barker, 18 Apr 2023 | 20m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★ Psych In
Several broken holds at the starting boulder problem have upped the direct start grade significantly, so it is now linked into the start of 'Psych out'. Downgraded to meet the new route. Will update when new beta for the direct start is sorted out. Set: Philip Barker FA: Philip Barker, 15 Apr 2023 | 20m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
23 | ★★ Psych out
Super easy flake to giant move (or dyno) then very technical pumpy crimping to the anchors. (Hint,theres a giant jug above the anchors). Set: Philip Barker FA: Philip Barker, 15 Apr 2023 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Charlotte's Climb
The beginner climb. Finishes at the ledge next to the cave. Set: Philip Barker FA: Philip Barker, 25 Feb 2023 | 10m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★ Free Mason
Up 4 discreet carrots to DBB. Start left of first bolt. Reachy to ledge. Crux between 3rd and 4th bolt then jug city to the anchors. FA: Philip Barker & greg dzaiduch, 5 Feb 2023 | 16m, 4 | Blue Mountains |
