Up shallow corner and bottom of decent. small wires and soime bold moves to get some good gear, then finish along the diagonal crack to the alliance belay.

The wall just left of the thin seem, bridge up wall moving left on slopes to clip bolt, then up through a small roof and another bolt.

From start, climb up to gain feature with a right hand layaway to get first pieces in. Nice footwork gains block up and left and more small but good gear. Balance up to get a good stance. Reach up to get flare and a cam, then tricky moves guard little rooflet. Final moves up groove to get to ledge, up and right to find double U bolt belay/loweroff. Excellent climbing on small gear, recommended

The obvious face with the 2 ring bolts. Nice thin moves lead the way up this classic face. Continue out right under the small roof the cut back across left to top out.

Stunning thin crack just round the corner from technocrat . Easy start to little block with good gear. Tricky moves to get to midway edges and crux. Good footwork and arete on the left will get you up to the dihedral roof. It’s not easy to get around the roof and stand up. From here continue to follow thin crack and good gear until it ends. Step across right using a good pocket and head up to a sloping ledge. New RB lower offs have been added.

The open book corner that leads to a roof at 8 m. Step left into Animals route and finish as for that climb

The arête R of animals route. Up past good #2 cam and several essential RPs to first hex bolt. Up to second bolt then turn roof to the right. Up to anchor RBs.

The face climb, right of arête. Easy start up to large hueco with a good cam placement. Sidepull hueco to reach out to thin crack for wire placement, on the right, then use small flake above and good footwork to get to big pocket. A good wire can be placed here, but it’s quite tricky as your hand is in the pocket. You can gingerly reach up to a good 0.4 Camelot, in the crack up from pocket to protect crux move. If you are not confident in your placements, do not go higher as there is ground fall potential with the crux move up and right from pocket Delicate moves gain good crack above and a 1 Camelot placement.

The Zawn proper has Peregrine falcons nesting therefore the Back end is closed to climbing from September to December. Port Stephen’s Council has installed parking meters with a 4 hour limit, free after 530pm. $4.50/ hr otherwise. So try car pooling and no point arriving before 130pm, or try and get one of the limited spots in the national park. ACANSW Hunter has written to the council to see if a solution can be found for climbers, similar to the boaties- who can park for 9 hours. Will update when they get back to us.
