29 | ★★ Middle Earth
Tricky clip, squeeze hard it will be over soon, you'll be back at work and will long for the chance to once again dance apon the rocks. FA: L.Cossey, 2003 | 10m | Blue Mountains | ||
31 | Double Adapter
Don't concentrate on the anchor's or you will miss all the heavenly glory. Only a fool spends his time attempting to see into the future rather than see into the present. FA: L.Cossey, 2003 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
29 | Tower of Orthank
A brutal piece of body wrenching roof climbing, with an accuracy demanding pounce. 'The sword' in the stone next to the anchors will decide the true king. FA: B.Cossey, 2003 | 6m | Blue Mountains | ||
27 | ★ De Art
Around the corner in the White Cave. FA: L.Cossey, 2003 | 8m | Blue Mountains | ||

30 | Fighting Urak – Hai
FA: B.Cossey, 2003 | 10m | Blue Mountains | ||
27 | ★★ Next Dimension
Pack your shorts full of rocket powder and cast off into the unknown, where you'll find rad boulder moves and shiney golden eyes, power through the bulge and fly to freedom. FA: L.Cossey, 2003 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ Gateway
Beware the evil eyes are apon you. The frost covered ground will show you the path, take gentle steps. The gorgeous rock will hold your hand your mind concerned only with the foot you must land. FA: B.Cossey, 2003 | 10m | Blue Mountains | ||
26 | Enemy at the Gate
Deemed impossible by many who've tried. An iron will and mastery of the mind is all that is in common with ascensionists of this climb. FA: J.Clark, 2003 | 10m | Blue Mountains | ||
2004 | |||||
24 | ★ The Amateur
The best warm up here. FA: A.Watts, 2004 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||

Cool jumpers and wooly lockin'.strip clubs the world over will sing your praise. FA: G.Miller, 2004 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
2020 | |||||
24 | ★★ Patience Zero
Sustained technical wall climbing separated by two small ledges. Starts out with a section of runout grey slab then steepens to waterwashed face and final slightly overhung orange wall. Don’t blow it by falling off the very last move! For the top belay use rap anchors out right but use single bolt on ledge to protect 2nd when they are past the last lead bolt. FA: 11 Mar 2020 | 37m, 15 | Blue Mountains | ||
25 | ★★★ Lockdown
More sustained than PZ with many crux moves stacked one on top of each other. Climb grey slab to undercut flakes. Negotiate these with a tricky mantle to stance under rooflet. Swing over this and up face and orange bulging wall above. Finish up left side of pillar on flake. FA: 19 Mar 2020 | 36m, 17 | Blue Mountains | ||
23 | ★★ Cockorona
The warm up. Rap in down Lockdown's anchors then walk right (still on rap) along small ledge for 15m to anchors. Waterpolished wall and flakes to start, through steepness on pockets (and ferns) and finish up grey wall above. This route does not top-out - lower off and clean and exit via the other full length routes. FA: 22 Mar 2020 | 25m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★★ Minority of Fun
More of a pumper than the other routes around here - but the first move is brutal as a warmup! Climbs an orange streak for 25m then finishes with an arm destroying 8m horizontal traverse right to top ledge. Stickclip or frenchfree belay bolt to get first draw on so you don't kaput the ankles on the bouldery first move over the bulge. Long draws help rope drag. FA: 1 Sep 2020 | 33m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ||
2021 | |||||
24 | ★★ Submission
Start at the perma-cairn undercut start - but belay using anchors below Minority of Fun. It's probably worth pre-clipping the 2nd bolt if you can. Crank the start - cruise up the slabby wall and mantle onto small ledge at halfway. The crux begins here. When you hit the break traverse right for a bolt to the rap anchors on the main ledge. FA: 23 Jan 2021 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | One for the Old School
Technical grey wall below Minority of Fun/Submission. Not a bad warmup. 7 bolt plates required (two for the belay and 5 for the pitch). FA: 23 Jan 2021 | 17m, 5 | Blue Mountains |
