2m rt of THCBOTA. Straight up slabby bulge. 3 bolts + DBB

follow RBs. Tops Out. Tree for anchor. needs a clean after heavy rain.

Sections of thin, technical slabbing. Climb direct up the line of the bolts (don't stray towards the crack, or too far right) with a few tough moves.

Route used to access top of cave for developing routes in the cave

A few metres right of Sahelanthropus. Hard, sustained first half, to an easier finish.

3D and technical through blocky steepness. Hard cruxes between good rests.

Belayer should pay attention during the moves between the first and second bolt, as they're hard, and a bad catch could be catastrophic.

Starts at the right layback flake -immediately left of Sahelanthropus. A briefly tricky move at the low roof leads to a stance, followed by a technical and strenuous finale up the overhanging blocky corner.

The grade is very much open for discussion. The moves suit me, and I did it quickly, but it is a very particular style of climbing.

The easiest route in the cave. A fun crux, but marred by a sandy cave at half height.

Up the left flake, around the sand-cave on the righthand side (seriously, stay out of the cave!), through a short roof-boulder, and onwards to a fun finish.

Stay out of the cave and climb the line of the bolts to earn the grade -it's more fun that way, anyway.

Great beginner lead climb. Start on the super easy slab. Move into the cave arete with a committing crux for a beginner climb. Enjoy the exposure. Head up to the crack or slab headwall. Lots of options. Serves as a good tasting platter for different styles of climbing. Lacks the massive exposure of the other upper cliff routes. Top rope anchors and chains are accessible by rappelling down to the top of the climb. Two sets of anchors at the top, left set is better for top roping and rapping.

An adventurous line offering panoramic views of Glenbrook Gorge and the Nepean. Mostly bomber but belayers beware loose rock. Bring ten draws including a few alpines.

1. 25m (16) Slab to hidden rail under roof, left onto ledge, behind boulder, up enormous flake to belay ledge.

2. 20m (18) Peculiar moves from boulder to face. Identify reliable holds and pull up and right through crux. Through gap then stem up final corner to ledge. Can belay here, but remain roped up for slippery scramble to rap chains a few metres above.

To exit walk down faint path on right starting about 10m away from cliff edge. Alternatively, a 70m dynamic rope reaches the ground from the rap chains with stretch - use a rope protector at the lip (same deal if top roping).

Closed Project.

Bolted. Closed Project. Contains some temporary bolts. UNSAFE. STAY OFF.

Easy crack to sharp crimps (trim your fingernails!) then slabbing into reachy crux 2 and jugs to the anchor. Commit to a long move for crux #2. Keep left of the crack (following the bolts) for the true tick.

The start can also be climbed direct (through the rooflet) for some added gnarliness.

A very cool climb reminiscent of 'the sisters of fatima' up at the dam cliffs. Great beginner to intermediate lead climb.

The beginner climb. Finishes at the ledge next to the cave.

Start by getting up close and personal with the arete at the right of the cave. Rest on the super cool double edged flake (that won't break. Don't worry. We already tried. A lot). Use all you guts to rock into the slab and turn on full slab cruise control to the anchors.

Accidentally bolted the wrong line but so glad I did! A great climb starting with a boulder problem and then slabby footers and balancy crimping. Two cruxs, one being right before the anchors.
