Nodes in Mezzaluna Area

NOTE: As of January 2021, all areas of Mount York (including camping) are now open!

On Fixed Hangers. Start up slightly left of Public Pressure, and trend up and left through varied climbing (and varied rock quality). Single hangerless carrot right before the anchor.

Start as for Murmel Snooze at initials. Straight up through the overlap then drift left to stay out of Mezzaluna. Mostly carrots, take brackets.

Has become a bit of a classic. 8 ring bolts. May be worth taking a sling or long quickdraw for the 2nd or 3rd bolt and last bolt, to avoid pulling the rope against corners of the rock.

Excellent wall between 'Mezzaluna' and 'High Society'

Up about 10m to 'friend' pocket on right, left past bolts and up to top. Take Care!

Start: A little way up the ramp towards the ledge.

Start: 5m right of High Society at tree.

Up past obvious hole in the wall. Originally done on gear, now bolted with carrots (large heads).

Start: 3m left of Frolic. DRBB set back and out of sight.

Solo of course!

Start: The offwidth. Would be nice with a lower off.

Line of U-bolts 0.5m right of Frolic. Finish on DRBB on Salubrious. If you use the Frolic crack at the start it knocks this down to a really nice grade 13ish.

This is a great climb, definitely worth it. Solid for the grade.

Why?

Start: Right again near boulder.

Start: 1m right of Unethical on the other side of the boulder.

Start: 2m right of Stinkeye at the tree.

Follow carrots veering up right to DRBB.

Start: As for IKB.

U-bolts up steep corner, but break out left around the arete.

Shared start with CAC up slab, then stay right (in the corner), around overlap to DRBB.

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.
