Description

A compact little wall of hard grey rock sporting a number of short routes.

Access issues inherited from Tianjara Falls

BOLTING IS BANNED to the left (south) of the lookout and 100m right of the lookout as this is National Park land. Please avoid climbing on the cliff directly under the lookout, not only will you probably get a rock or beer bottle thrown at you from the tourists, you'll also attract unwanted attention from the authorities! Do not build new rock cairns - apparently there is an $11,000 fine if you do.

Approach

After negotiating the access rungs scramble down to the right about 30m.

Ethic inherited from Illawarra and Shoalhaven

Lots of bolts in this region. Most development has been done after the 1980s.

The magic in this one appears near the top as a perfect sinker pocket. Mostly a line of jugs

Start: Same place as the crack line.

FA: V Hill, 2009

Crack climbing from the 70s with bolts from the 21 st century the way they should all be done.

Start: Under the crack line

FA: V Hill, 2009

Line follows the underside of the ramp.

Start: Third line of bolts to the left.

FA: V Hill, 2000

A more reasonable move thru the blank break. Worth the grade if you are short. Also used as the start to the next route on the left.

Start: Fourth line of bolts from the left

FA: V Hill, 2009

A great chunk of rock flawed by the right and left wandering of the line. A good climb if you take a gym approach and do it just for the move sequences and rock rather than the line. Middle of the wall under the best looking rock. Use the start of Voila to get thru the blank break at the bottom. Ignore the first bolt to the left in the conglomerate band. Climb the first third of Voila to traverse back above the second bolt to the line. At the fifth bolt move to the left until you get almost into the next climb (keeps the grade reasonable), then up to the break where you go right to the 6th bolt then up to the shared anchors.

FA: G. Hill, 2010

Firey break to break climbing with a little pop in the middle.

Start: Just right of 'Pourquoi Pas' off the low block just left of the first bolt.

FA: G Hill, 2009

Another short 70s crack with a taste for stainless steel.

Start: The right leaning crack on the left side of the wall. Start off the blocks.

FA: V Hill, 2009

The jagged crack in the steep wall left of PP. Start off the blocks. Climb the little wall then the crack to chain anchors.
