Nodes in Uppercut Crag

The Blue Mountains are a World Heritage listed area. The Grose Valley, the cliffs around Katoomba and much of the Narrow Neck peninsula are part of the Blue Mountains National Park which is managed by the NPWS. The Western Escarpment - where most of the climbing is - is Crown Land managed by the BMCC. While the NPWS Plan of Management nominates several locations in the National Park where rock climbing is deemed appropriate, the majority of the climbing remains unacknowledged. To maintain access our best approach is to 'Respect Native Habitat, Tread Softly and Leave No Trace'. Do not cut flora and keep any tracks and infrastructure as minimal as possible.

Practically all crags are either in National Park or in council reserve: dog owners are reminded that dogs are not allowed in National Parks at any time and fines have been issued, while for crags on council reserve the BMCC leash law requires that dogs be on-leash.

At present the first route you arrive at. Nice bulgy pocketed wall, more lines to go! Climb precarious blocks to belay ledge. Up easy corner to oozing clip, through pockets to distinct crux then jug on up.

Up wall veering right into orange rock and up.

Start left of arette in steep terrain to arette then up.

4m Right of Dingos.Slabby face with a low crux. Great little journey looking for the good holds.

This and the next route are a few minutes walk further. Bring a big brush and a blower. The left route on a steep wall that gets shade all day after 11. Climb to a desperately long bouldery dyno to break then steep with a few more moves to loweroff. Given to Jimmy for his 28th (and because he climbed it better)

Starts 3m R of TBK. First Route bolted and climbed at crag. Pumpy to anchor.
