Routes in New Nowra - Braidwood Road for selected grade

This route shares the start off the ledge with two others and follows the left line of bolts.

Start: Shares same start as 'Trilobutt' to the ledge.

Top break to break climbing. Not completely bolted by the Aliens who were scared off before they could glue the bolts into the rock. Now sports more rings than a poofters camp.

Start: As for the Bum-eyed Bumosaur though this route is the direct line.

Great climbing up a really nice orange streak of hard rock.

Start: Third route in the off the ledge trilogy. This is the right hand one.

Steep start on good rock. Left around outside of cave and up. CAUTION: Take care clipping second bolt. 4RB's to DBB at present. (Not as shown).

Steep arete at L end of grandstand. Problem solver. Reachy crux.

Sustained and excellent. Varied climbing on good rock. 6 RBs to DBB.

6 RBs to DBB.

Batman start. 5 RBs to DBB.

3m right of AG. Follow the grey streak to left of large diagonal crack.

5 RB's to DBB.

Use the faint flake trending left. Put a long draw or stick clip 2nd bolt. Open project by now?

Technical slab climbing. Start 10m left of Boogie Nights. Route has two holes in the bulge up high. Climb slab to tricky mid section then bulge above.

A Hill inspired name for a Hill inspired linkup. Start of I Cairn Do It then left into excellent finish of Rockaholic.

OMG, a bolted crack! Carefully up just right of cave and trend left up to the flake crack.

Great climbing once you get past the start shenanigans. Option 1 (the true free version!) involves climbing the tree for 5m and awkwardly traversing right. Option 2 (The better way) is just to stick clip the first bolt and hoist your way up batman style to the first holds. Stem up the hanging corner, then left under roof and finish up right line of bolts above.

Left arete of alcove, directly below Sunset Boulevard. Fine overhung slapping that is clearly visible from the ledge above. Worth the extra 2 minute walk.

Starts in middle of black wall just around from Sunset Boulevard, then goes out to the right hand arete

The incredibly short and incredibly intense flake line 2m right from the left edge of the cave. Probably the hardest 22 on the planet. Take care clipping the 2nd and 3rd bolts.

Long varied climbing with a wonderful finish headwall. First bolt of 'Liquidity' then take right line of bolts up small left facing corner, over roof and weave up technical headwall.

A balancy and technical arete on the right edge of this wall. Quite sustained and a little sandy.

A good rest in the middle breaks the action on this route. Next route left of Alien Anal Academy. Up wall following the long line of bolts to juggy finish. Or go thru to top on even extra crap rock.

A generally solid wall climb with a good first third. Plenty of bolts with generally sound rock except for the dreaded conglomerate band.

Start: Five meters right of TA. On main wall at small left facing corner.

Great climbing on good sized holds. No razor blade finger stuffing crimpers here. All vicious edges have been dealt with and anything you snap off is because you're off route.

Start: At crack line that leads up towards end of obvious left leading ramp that bisects the wall.

Great climbing up a slightly slabby wall. No real hard moves just a series of grade 20 sequences to the top. The bolts are placed to protect any unfortunate snap offs you may get on the thin flakes. No finger shredding at all on this one, all tame jugs. Start: Five meters to the right of BM. At obvious hole in the wall. Route name changed at request of first ascentionist

Reasonably sustained wall climbing with a crux near the top. Grade 16 all the way to the anchors.

Start: Same as 'Black Member' under hole in wall.

Another solid wall climb, that keeps it's interest until almost the top before it gives up. The batman start avoids a rather strenuous start from the flake on the left.

Start: Three meters right of BM. Batman to first bolt.

Straight up above the stump via 10 bolts with a rest halfway.

Great climb fun all the way

Sharpen up your finger nails for this one, great moves on super rock

Start: 3 mtrs left of crack, as for Broken Bishop then take the right line of bolts. Leave your office hands at home for this one!

The obvious crack splitting this wall. Mixed route with trad gear needed down low, bolts up higher to anchors.

Pumpy then just pumpy

Start: Same as Peas in pod but climbs left hand side of overhanging arete, some weak scallywags have found an option of McDougling out left and making the climb a little easier. Your choice!

Harder start than salute but easier finish

Start: 2 mtrs right of Salut

Hard fingery start, but eases off the higher you go. Start just right of 1st bolt.

Jam up the twin cracks then at second bolt take the left line of bolts traversing under roof. Follow lower line of bolts using little edges all the way to join into Dueling Drills. Finish up headwall. Long runners useful to stop rope drag.

Leftmost route on this wall. Tricky start to a rest, then up via the jugs on the arete.

Start 2m left of Spare a Thought. The line diagonally leftward, through a roof and onward to anchors. The top seeps after heavy rain, pointless getting on it then. An engaging sequence at the start leads to easier climbing taking full advantage of the rest midway, then the roof to the anchors. Resist the urge to campus off the flake in the roof.

The original name relates to Neil being a chatterbox whilst belaying - and the leader wanting him to shut the hell up! Great sustained climbing, probably the best in this sector, Right facing corner just left of Rare Earth. Layback and stem for 10m then over bulge and trend slightly right to middle set of anchors under huge roof.

The undercut arete just left of Violently's corner. Bouldery start then easily up arete to join into the original route at the third bolt. A little bold between bolt 2 and 3.

Great polished rock, Start as for Unobtainium. At the first bolt take the left line of bolts to undercling leading left to arête. Bouldery finish to clip and go anchors.

Starting on the ledge around left, on the lefthand side of Rare Earth Buttress under the roofs. Thin and technical past first two rings on excellent yellow/orange rock climbing mostly right of the bolts to roof. Out roof on big slots to easy wall above to anchors right near clifftop.

Start as for The Welcome Stranger. Up corner, at the second bolt break right and up wall to anchors.

Stand on flake and reach over and clip the 1st bolt. Pull down hard and crank up wall to break. Have a rest and climb the sustained wall to the top.

Great climbing with the crux down low followed by easier and enjoyable climbing to the top. Start as for Moral Compass to the 2nd bolt. Traverse right and up to the obvious crack which is followed then up the easier wall to anchors.

Takes the line just right of the bushy corner Start on the grassy ledge. Some thin sequences at the start lead to a mantle and on to the flake system and on to the anchors.

Start at the obvious crack at the right end of the orange wall. Steep and technical crack climbing requiring an unconventional style. Enjoyable and thought provoking. Once the crack is dispensed with tackle the roof/hanging arete above to anchors on the lip.

Step right off ledge, using insecure feet to gain the arete. Thin holds lead to a thank god jug and you move onto the other wall and steeply to the top

Follow '3D Disco' all the way to the end of the steepness, then take left trending rings up grey face.

Pretty airy! Up off the ledge for one bolt then traverse right, across corner to overhung arete. Up this taking the right most line of bolts over the sucking void.

The best route on this wall, and one of the best at the grade at Nowra. Long and pumpy. Off belay ledge and up unlikely white face on pockets and small flakes. Swing through bulge and pump to the top.

Start at the right hand end of the grey wall under the arching overlap feature in between two endless seeping water streaks. Thin and technical down low, engaging (ie crumbly) climbing above.

One of the original lines at the Gold Mine. Up the pockets to lower offs under the roof.

Up slab then step onto ferny ledge on right. Crank up sweet (or desperate) diagonal finger crack leading rightwards.

5m left of DF

2m left of WiW thin climbing at start leads to crux with great steep moves at top.

Just left of WiW, but crosses over mid height and thru the roof and up to jugs.

Up 'Sandpaper Sally' for 3 bolts then, lean out left on big sidepull and up the long wall. Sustained !

Furthest right. Scramble up onto ledge leading left to belay bolt. Climb left then up.

Start up Cosmic Thing and at second bolt trend left to join Lunar-Tick at the roof.

Same start as Cosmic Thing, at the 3rd bolt, launch right straight into the crux going around bulge, take a grade off if you keep going up Cosmic Thing and traverse around the crux (give it a go as its well protected).

Up short manky corner then thin headwall. Climb right of the 2nd bolt then traverse back left to third.

Hard off the deck, with another crux at three quarter height

The wall left of the crack, finishing at the top of the block. Trad like finish. Both hands on rail below anchor for full value

Great face climbing on crimps and pockets. Middle line of bolts on this wall, starting as for Lost for Profit. Lower off single large u-bolt when the rock turns blank.

5m right of 'Sun Dew' and right of major corner. Boulder over the undercut, up the jugs then traverse right across steep face to punchy finish. 'Fantastic' rock.

The central line past the bizarre embedded circular hold and the big football sized conglomerate blocks. Finish through the roof on big holds.

Stand start and head up and right on edges to top out at the peak of boulder.

Start 2m right of the DTS corner. Varied and sustained climbing ans just a little spooky passing the cave. Up and diagonally right under the cave, step back left over the cave then up engaging wall on good holds to anchors above the overlap.

Start 1m right of the LS corner. Climb the slab and steepening wall on pockets and rails then the right side of the scooped groove to anchors.

Line of bolts right of Jake's 24. Great sequences of 19 to 20 leading up a long slightly off vertical wall.

Line of bolts 2 meters right of Tequila Sunrise. Four or five move sequences of 18 followed by a single grade 20. Climbs the wall until about halfway when it begins to use the arete and some holds around the arete. Contrived you may say but i don't care. You are always on the left side of the arete until the obvious big hole at the top where it joins into Faking Clever and continues to its own anchors.

Line of bolts right of Faking Clever. Very thin slab sequence as a crux.

An old unknown route with fixed hangers, since removed and fixed with rings and a lower off. Start by climbing a little arete to the vegetated ledge 1m right of PCTS. Thin crimping which relents higher up on this unlikely looking face.

Start about 4m left of SC. Mega for the first 5 bolts up to break. Heave over the bulge and continue up to lower offs. For the full tick, link into the last few bolts on 'Shark Chats'

Takes the seam a few meters left of the major corner and right of MM. Start; In the little corner and follow the seam to anchors..

Feel good moves with a punchy crux finale.

Starts half way up ramp left of S.F , stickclip first bolt then long line up middle of wall with a thin crux down low and a rewarding finish. A brilliant route.

Long line of bolts three meters right of Sexableflex. Thin in the bottom section. Cruise thru the middle. Take care when bouncing off the ledge up top not to dent the rock.

Start down low at thin wall to gain edge of slab then up arête.

Short and punchy. Start on ledge on right side of steep marbled wall. Left leading line up pocketed seam to very reachy crux. Anchors in roof.

Start off the boulder in the cave. Then up the corner, techy traverse out left, then finish up delicious pockets

Start just right of the main overhang/cave. Left leading line up the main face to ledge then on to anchors.

Start 3m right of DS. Nice steep climbing with a testy little crux.

Start left of the bolt, up yellow streak through bulgy terrain. Trend left to finish up jugs anchors.

Start 4m left of WttS. Climbs the black rock between the two prominent yellow streaks. Tough start that eases to consistent climbing to the top.

The first route which starts just before you emerge from the access overhang. Batman the start, heave onto the route then follow the flake and crack and tricky arete to anchors. Steep and varied, fun climbing.

The route closest to the corner. Batman start, then take the line to the steepening, then sustained climbing to the top.

Start off the block left of the scrubby corner. Climb the little wall onto the ledge, gain the face at the pebble band(tree can by used)then steep climbing to the top.

Start just left of corner of COF. Avoid using the tree. I would have pruned it a little but decided to let it live.

The right side of the left arete. A little bit of choss to get started through bulge then really sweet climbing all the way to the top.

All killer - no filler. Climb first two bolts of Driller, then monkey left across steep pockets to Cornerstone arete. This is a better and slightly harder way of doing Cornerstone.

The left trending finish to Dave Fern. A real pumper!

A great jug haul. Originally climbed on trad gear and the carrots now full of rings.

Start: At the initials DFA. Shares first three bolts with 'Dodecahedron'.

A right diagonal used to block those new routers that may sneak another line in. Large jugs are what every guy dreams of and this route has lots.

Start: Same Start as Dave Fern

Start a few meters right of Custard Cannon. Up the black blunt arete and continue up the slab to anchors.

The rock in the first 5 meters is so good I had to stick another route up it. More sustained than it looks.

Start as for 'Groovy Tuesday' then traverse left to the next line of bolts to anchors.

Climbed originally on the carrots and trad gear. Now Full of great rings.

Start: Orange wall at bulgy cracked overlap. Look for the old carrot bolts.

1. 18m (22) technical start leads to a pumpy middle section

2. 8m (12) From the ledge you can top out if you like...

Takes advantage of all the orange rock it can. Others would swear at another contrived piece of shit from Hill but who cares. Boulderers do it all the time.

Start: Same start as shut the gate.

A really great way to use the rock as a resource to its best. It shares the same start and the same lower offs but all the rest of the route is completely different enough to want to climb it.

Start: Same start as the previous route just left of the cave.

Another line of inspiring stainless steel that sets this wall apart from all the others i have grid bolted.

Start: Shared start with 'Kurds in the Whey' at the boulder. Straight up - using the left line of bolts.

The next one along. Orange slab, to roof flake.
