★ Frodo The Fearless
The land manager, Blue Mountains City Council, and many local climbers consider the level of development of this crag to be excessive and problematic. Blue Mountains City Council considers this area to be a bad example of climber's self restraint and self management when creating new areas and has threatened closure. The creation of manicured tracks, rock cairns, fixed ropes, installation of non-official signage, guidebook letterboxes (!) and unrestrained levels of bolting are all areas of great concern. To maintain good relationships with Council - ACANSW advises the following when visiting Soft Parade. • Do not mark the entrance of the track so it is visible from the main road. • No moving rocks anywhere along the track or at the crag itself, including building rock cairns or retaining walls. • No chopping, trimming or moving vegetation, including dead trees. Stick to all paths - don’t trample fire regrowth. • No new routes, bolts or fixed ropes - Council considers this area overdeveloped already. • Do not install signage, or leave "shared" stickclips, guidebooks etc at the cliff. Anything left will be removed. • Reconsider large groups - the base of the cliff is steep & very susceptible to erosion. • ACANSW recommends climbing guide instructors avoid taking clients to this area altogether as it sets a poor example to new climbers of what a climbing area should be. • If you see anything that needs fixing such as fallen timber across a track - please contact the ACANSW who will then contact Council - do NOT fix it yourself. |

★ Ageing Gracefully
For all those of us who wont put down our outdoor gear. Bring out your Johnny Dawes slab shoes and moves. Bolted by Barry and climbed by MattB after permission from Barry. A sneaky high L hand hold and rock over is the key to this route and then dance your way to the top. Still a little dirty towards the top but the route eases off. |
20
★ The Quality of Grace
Linkup between The Quality of Mercy and Ageing Gracefully. Start up The Quality of Mercy through to the fourth bolt then up around the vegetated ledge to finish on the last bolt and anchor of Ageing Gracefully. The harder moves are well protected but not being an intended route the easier ground is run out. |
20
★ The Quality of Mercy
Start on the short arête, gain the ledge and traverse right into A Pound Of Flesh (Extra points if you recognize the link between the names). Originally known as Fast-Forward. Grade is up for review |
22
★★ A Pound Of Flesh
Cruxy start straight up to the anchors. Sharp pockets may extract their pound. Originally known as Rewind. First ascent was direct to the first bolt but I believe earlier attempts started further right. The grade is up for review. |

I've Sent Your Saddle Home
Left leaning flake corner. |

★★★ Counsel Clean Up Day
Given there is an anchor at top this must have been climbed? No doubt projected? Its excellent! The thin seam leading to small corner 10m right of "I've Sent Sent Your Saddle Home". Very well protected on c3's and small wires, with a bunch of small cams, an obvious #4 and a 0.5 at the top being the two largest cams. Funky top out to two bolts. A lot of cleaning required then a back to back send. Its kinda hard for a bit..like really..but on bomber gear. |
