Routes in The Grotto Cliffline

(AKA ,Lattanzio Corner Crack, Chrome Poisoning.) Recently retrobolted to half height, originally done to full height, trad, taking the right hand line from half height. The obvious corner at the right end of The Green Slab.

Has been rebolted? It's 5m R of Chinese Water Torture.

climb the corner crack and tree upto the anchors of "root me"

The mega crack up the side of the mega block (20m opposite Chinese Water Torture). Overhangs at least 30 degrees - its much steeper than it looks in the topo.

Up the corner and flake to the suspended flake. Continue up to jug headwall.

Start: Start just R of 'Access Chimney' at arete.

Start 5m R of the flake of Funky Gripsta. Stick clip & batman to start. Excellent bouldery moves most of the way, with possible heartbreak high and an inspired runout to finish.

The first climb i bolted with the petrol drill and carrots, then later filled it with rings. Really good climbing after the slightly flaky lower section.

Start: At the bottom of the slot right of the arete.

Fully ringbolted as of 2011. A striking splitter handcrack through one of the biggest, chossiest caves in Nowra, but amazingly the rock in the crack itself actually looks sorta ok.

Up and left to flake and up the obvious pinnacle on the wall. Finish at ledge. 'Extension' is 'TMc'.

Start: Start as for 'ASM'.

Start 4m R of Evil E, stick clip and batman to start. The climbing is barely any harder than Evil E but is more sustained, and just as brilliant. It's easy to place the draws while lowering off Evil E if you want the soft option.

This one will keep you on your toes. Good foot work will help. A true classic.

Start: Line just to the right of the carrot bolt in the centre of the wall.

Route name changed at the request of the first ascentionist.

start as for ASM. go left up pinnicle (14) to small ledge then follow rings up steep rock with small sharp holds

Tricky in places that don't even have places.

Start: On the arete just right of sluts of trust.

Up scoop then over to the crack at the top of this traverse to the left and onto the wall above.

Start: Same as POTRM.

Straight up wall veering slightly right past 4 bolts to lower off as for 'Mc'.

Start: Start as for 'ASM'.

Up sun Machine then up on left of arete all the way to top left set of anchors

One of the 'unknown' project routes, located just West of The Colosseum main routes.

Hard little move off the deck then it gives up.

Start: At little corner crack right of S.

One of the 'unknown' project routes, located at the far East of The Colosseum at the scramble gully.

Only goes up to the same level as where there's Pork. Rope drag (and ability)prevented continuation.

Up for snowman then diagonal up the wall in from arete, then to arete near little roof. From here go right then up to hole and anchors. Makes iceman obsolete as it should.

They get tricky to differentiate in this area so to get the true feel you climb to the right side of the bolts on the lower wall. If it feels way thin and impossibly hard then you have the correct line otherwise you are climbing the 'Fizzbomb' variant start.

Start: At blank wall right of 'Fizzbomb' arete.

A great route as you still have to do the Johnny Dawes move that i learnt after a coaching clinic with the man himself. Though i never used it again after this climb.

Start: The left start of the direct line that goes up the black wall to mid height.

Black wall right of worm. Go up crack then across right to do the Johny Dawes dyno.

Beware loose rock in the flake & choss on the runout headwall.

Way hard for a 16 better climb solid 18 before you jump on this little number, now consensus grade is 19

Start: At undercut groove thing just right of WOAR

The arete right of Worm. Bloody hard for a 16.

One of the early hard routes in 'Nowra'. Up past some hard (big) moves past a few RBs. Bundy Rebolted 03-08-2006, prob a waste of steel and no one will ever climb it.

Start: Start around the corner of the Green Slab, 2m R of the awesome walk-down slot.

Avoids the groove start

Start: At 'Jester'

Start a meter left of Spinning Blades, Clip the bolt first, then continue out along the hanging rib before eventually heading up

Thin stuff.

Start: Start on the left hand side of the wall almost on the arete. [The topos for the routes on this wall are a bit of a guess, to give the gist of the wall. Please update the topos if you know what route goes where].

Hard crux at the start then cruisey.

The first route here.

Up left of Jester. This can give climbers with knee troubles the chance to go to hospital.

The crack was always wet so you just couldn't use it. So only about one hold will work in the crack the rest is thin wall climbing. If the crack dries out look out for global warming its coming sooner than we expect, give up your job and go climb all my classics before you die!

Start: Just meters right of the Egg Roll on the ledge.

Start as per GITH then go right.

Batman Start 4m left of Evil E. A Pumper! Awesome!

Start for Sheriff, then head left out to the lip below ASM and up the wall

Head up right at mid height.

Start: Start as for CC.

A popular route. Enjoyable climbing and rock. Marred by the reinforced flake.

Anchor Replaced - B. Rattenbury 10/9/10

All soughts of dubious technologies were tried to stop the wall from leaking out of the pockets. A good climb but you just have to put the wet patch out of your mind and do it.

Start: Down on the ground at corner left of 'Vermin Arete'.

The hardware up the incredible arête on the R side of the Conehead wall. 30m of 30 degrees!

Up Rock Shoxs to the first bulge then head left to the obvious pocket the up to anchors.

Start as for Spinning Blades and take the lower line of bolts between Sheriff and Spinning Blades, to join the latter at the no-hands rest

Start: Start a few meters right of RRRB and climb into that route.

Giles Bradbury was called in to free either this line or Seven Eleven at grade 25 in mid-late 1999 and he named it Teflon Barbie.

Varied climbing with great exposure. Start in the crack, then slightly right on to the arete/slab, all the way up through the chimney. Take lots of draws, consider stick-clipping the first.

A great off vertical wall where you can stand on your feet and contemplate why you can't climb it.

Start: Just right of the 'Wet Patch'.

The steep arête & hanging lip starting just R of Jammer, with heaps of fixed nonsense.

Start at the right side of the pillar and follow the jugs out to the left. Use the rings.

Wanders a bit down low until you pass a small pocket.

Start just left of Girls in the Hood. Climb the crack feature, step right then back left to anchors.

The crack to the ledge. Quite good!

These walls are really great climbing. You're mad if you don't give them a go next time you scurry past.

Start: Cracky thing just right of P's Dog.

As for Dry Tooling but at the last bolt on it go up and left to break, one more bolt, and anchors at the top of the arete.

Impressive roof route in the cave just south of the descent rungs. Has been rebolted recently.

Start as for Spinning Blades, but head straight up.

A classic Nowra name. The route however has been mostly reclaimed by nature.

Start on the right arete of the cave. Follow the lip up to the crack, then straight up this
