Routes in Betty Blue Area

On the mossy boulder opposite Petit Miam.

Maximises the climbing to be had on this fantastic wall. Extend your draws!

ROUTE: Start up Shifting Sands and clip its last bolt but instead of pulling right onto the face, stay left and climb directly up to the first bolt of A Day At The Beast. From here, head left to join into Speed Boat Wankers for three bolts, THEN STEP LEFT AGAIN and finish at the anchor of Funkenstein. You may wish to finish at the Speed Boat Wanker anchor for a grade 24.

ADVICE: The first bolt of A Day At The Beast should be equipped with an extra long runner (unless you like rope drag). You may wish to climb up to the Shifting Sands anchor then scoot left to preplace this protection.

CLEANING: Can be done while getting lowered with some minor shenanigans and a re-direct (or re-thread) at the Shifting Sands anchor.

There are numerous variations on this linkup but I assure you that this is the best one.

Finish at last bolt of A Day At The Beach inside scoop.

Up wall to belay stance below roof.

Start: Start 5m right of 'PM'

Extension of 'TP'.

Climb the black slab around the arete right of 'SL'

Classic 'Nowra' arete - which is hard and pumpy.

Start: Start at the obvious arete to the right of 'TP'. Some people do an easier start on the face a few metres left of the arete proper.

Clip first bolt on 'Betty Blue' and head left. Crank up on the crimpers to the final throw making sure to take a few whips for the camera along the way!

Start: Start at 'Betty Blue'

A very appealing wall. One of the most enjoyable routes at its grade in 'Nowra'.

Start: Start a few meters right of 'Black Beddy'.

Rebolted with a reshuffle. RAD !

Up the poorly protected slab onto fun sidepull features. Bring a bolt plate and a sling for before the roof. Headwall is excellent to a jug above drb anchor.

Dangerous protection.

Straight up the groove, then slightly left and up to a great jug rest. Recover and fire out the airy crux.

Start: Start 2m left of SL at slight groove. New anchor 23/6/2012

From where ADATB steps right, climb straight up the flake/arete feature until the last bolt. Clip, take a deep breath, pull onto the face, and climb up to the ADATB anchor.

Don't keep climbing up the left side of the flake/arete (after clipping the last bolt), this skips the crux.

An absolute ripper of a climb and totally different to the typical 'Nowra' power mutant hard stuff.

Start: Start on ledge above 'SL'

Up the slab towards the ledge with the obvious sandy cave feature. Stay on the outside of this, moving right to join into the amazing line of scoops and follow this until the last scoop. From here, move left to anchor shared with Shifting Sands.

Start: Be careful clipping the 2nd bolt.

Hard move guards the anchors. Rebolted 2012

Route name changed at the request of the first ascentionist.

much funk. Start up Kicking Dogs Balls and onwards to a double dragon move through the roof out right

Having climbed 'ADATB' traverse left across the lip of the roof all the way to the far end. CAUTION: Back-climb the fucker .

Start: Start as for 'ADATB'.

Climb the funky flakes left of kicking dogs balls. Rebolted and extended 23/6/12

4 RB's to lower off.

Start: Wall 5m right of 'SL'

From the belay head diagonally out left through the roof to a break. Traverse back right a little and up final head wall.

Start: Start at the belay above 'JP1'.

Straight out roof, traverse left to rest then nice face climbing to finish with hands on top of cliff.

Start: Start as for 'J'.

The obvious sandy corner crack left of NASAS. Now sport bolted on rings. Route could also take natural gear. use anchors high to left to lower off.
