Descent: Abseiling back the way you came is not recommended and has resulted in numerous stuck ropes. It is recommended you head up to Halfway House, follow the fixed ropes up and left from the anchor. Once at Halfway house head right and abseil down Clemency. The top anchors for Clemency are beneath the tree with the fixed rope. Please note that there is a fixed rope heading down and right from the anchor of Troposhpere, this does NOT lead to an anchor that you should abseil from. | 110m, 5 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
19 | ★★ Silver Hands
Was once the hardest 17 in the known universe. They come from far and wide to feel the pockets, stroke the slopers, and clip the chains. Now it is your turn to join the masses and see why Silver Hands is number one in the world. FA: Paul Westwood, 1992 | 9m | Nowra | ||
21 | ★★ Jaws
The easiest warm-up here abouts, and the third most popular route in all of NSW. Considered solid at the grade. FA: Frey Yule | 15m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★★ Vanderholics
Beaut sustained climbing. Start: Directly below the cave, on the left side of the obvious crack. Up the wall past delicate slab move to a big rest in the cave. Take a breath and head out the right side up the vertical wall on magic holds. FA: Ant Prehn, C Paul & Giles Bradbury, 1991 | 25m, 8 | Nowra | ||
16 | ★★ The Sisters of Fatima
A great lead at the grade, up through scoop on jugs, RBs to top. FA: F Lumsden & J Smoothy, 2000 | 12m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★★★ Orca
Starts on left side of arête. Straight up to finish. Optional friend no longer needed to protect start. FA: Ant Prehn, Rod Young, Craig Paul & Trudy Bretherton, 1991 | 25m, 8 | Nowra | ||
19 | ★★ Jack High
Super popular. Start behind the right of the two gums. Up to lower-off at break. As per usual, please do not top-rope directly through anchors. FA: J.Smoothy & M. Stacey, 1986 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★ Little Triggers
Marked LT. 2.5m R of Dr Do Little. Thin start, then through some overlaps. Best route on the wall. FA: R.Young & A.Prehn, 1982 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★ The Bandoline Grip
Follows the obvious orange streak up the middle of the wall. Ringbolts. FA: C. Martin & J. Smoothy, 1985 | 18m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
25 | ★★★ Rubber Lover
One of the popular classics of the grade. Ringbolts and chalk show the way. All good fun. Lower-offs added 2004 and replaced 2021. This route originally went to a set of chains a couple of metres above the lower offs. The chains are still there. Was grade 26 but was chipped some time after the first ascent. FA: J. Smoothy, 1992 | 20m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★ Pterodactyl
Start at big "PT" mark. Nice climbing up past 5 RBs then run it out a bit up easy slab to anchors. There's a ground anchor at the base for lead rope soloing. Crux undercling came off winter 2015. The change is pretty minimal but it's probably a bit harder now. FA: Ted Cais & David Reeve, 1969 FFA: Mick Woodrow & Darren Holloway, 1985 | 17m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 | ★★ Idiot Wind
Start at the "IW' mark. Quality climbing. The testpiece of its grade at 'Kangaroo Point'. 5 RBs and anchors. There's a ground anchor just R of the base for lead rope soloing. Be aware of the possibility of a nasty ledgefall between 4th and 5th bolts. This route map shows it dodging around the small roof. I lead it direct, doing the nice balancey move as a part of the * experience, and I think others probably did too. (Michael Woodrow) FFA: Gordon Bieske & Paul Hoskins, 1984 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
17 | ★ Dysentery
Start at "D" mark. Up past 3 RBs then steeper moves R past 4th RB. Trend gently L onto slab and up past a RB and a FH to anchor shared with 'Nic Chips Diffs'. FA: Gordon Bieske, 1984 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | ★★ Halva
Start 2m L of 'Kiwi'. Marked "H". Brilliant moves all the way to the top. Best grade 16 at the cliff. First bolt is a little high but the moves up to it are solid. 5 FHs to DBB. FFA: Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1992 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
24 | ★ Crazy Horny
Popular. Bouldery start then steep thuggery. The horn sadly broke changing the sequence. Many people's first 24. Back jump to clean, lower from second bolt. FFA: Gareth Llewellin, 2000 | 10m, 4 | Mt Coolum | ||
24 | ★★ Has It Got a Chevy Motor?
Start just to the left of Yoink. By far the most popular route at the crag. Now rebolted. FFA: Gareth Llewellin, 2007 | 12m, 7 | Mt Coolum | ||
23 | ★★★ Squealer
An awesome undertaking. Six FH's straight up to a lower-off. Stick clipping advised if getting to the first bolt bothers you. (Originally, Squealer traversed in from Howler). Start: From the first raised platform. FA: Gareth Llewellin, 2005 | 21m, 6 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
15 | ★★ Santa's Little Helper
1.5m right of the left arete. Up wall and then move left over cave and then straight up FA: Sue Young, 1997 | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ||
18 | ★★ Jolly Good Fellow
Pleasant wall 6m R of K. FA: D.Dewar, 2001 | 25m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
11 | ★ Lucifer
Climb into the cave then up around to the right. Then follow the ringbolts to the top. First bolt is quite high so be careful. FA: Sue Young & Catherine Eadie, 1994 | 15m | Nowra | ||
23 | ★★ Split Wave
Really good fun sport climbing with plenty of jugs in the roof. Very popular. FA: D. Noble, 1990 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★★ Slider
Gently overhung sport climbing past seven FH's to an exciting conclusion which often sees pumped leaders take to the air. Start: 3m R of 'Procrastinator' (before rock slab starts rising R-wards). FA: Gareth Llewellin & Adam Donoghue, 2008 | 16m, 7 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
18 | ★ Stormin Norman
Start 2m left of SOF. Up tending right then left through crux, to easy top section. Double fixed biners at top. FA: J Smoothy & F Lumsden, 2000 | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
25 | ★★★ Madge McDonald
Absolute classic 25 and for many, their first. Centennial Glen climbing at its best. FA: M. Baker & S. Wythe, 1992 | 12m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
17 | ★★ Hermione
Updating previous description, there are now anchors and a full complement of ringbolts on this route. It looks (December 2015) like the natural line here is sharing the beginning of Quirrel's Quarrel) to the top of the block then moving left and up (gear placements and bolts). FA: R.Young, 1998 | 25m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
16 | ★★ Mezzaluna
Has become a bit of a classic. 8 ring bolts. May be worth taking a sling or long quickdraw for the 2nd or 3rd bolt and last bolt, to avoid pulling the rope against corners of the rock. FA: G.Short & P.Mort, 1998 | 25m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
25 | ★★ Hung Like A Fruit Bat
Up the bulby horns out the roof to anchors. Feet more important than hands on this one. Ever so popular. Back Jump to clean and lower from second bolt. FFA: Simon Moses, 1998 | 8m, 5 | Mt Coolum | ||
20 | ★★ Spinning Blades of Steel
Start at the right side of the pillar and follow the jugs out to the left. Use the rings. FA: Mike Myers, 1990 | 9m | Nowra | ||
17 | ★ Burning Jowls
Ringbolts. The L rap ring on the anchor is now worn about a quarter through, still fine but may need replacement soonish. Until then, consider rotating it before loading so your rope wears on a different spot to extend its life. FA: C. Martin & J. Smoothy, 1985 | 18m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Junket Pumper
A bit of a classic. Used to have a few enhanced holds that were later cemented in - not that the grade changed at all. Start under the line with the biggest holds, just right of the sawn log. FA: M. Stacey & J. Smoothy, 1988 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
26 | ★★★ Screaming Insanity
The must-do crag classic, featuring the biggest and most aesthetic horns and jugs on the wall. When this was first bolted, there was nobody strong enough to climb it. Oh how things change! FA: Chris Coghill, 1997 FFA: Simon Moses, 1998 | 15m, 9 | Mt Coolum | ||
18 | ★ A Tale of Two Cities
Bold start to gain slightly overhanging face then up scoops on rings to double ring lower off. Good fun at the grade. FA: F Lumsden & J Smoothy | 12m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★ TOS
Short and fun - a popular warm-up. Most find this a pumpy little 18. FFA: Glenn, 2010 | 12m, 8 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
17 | ★ Bombadil
Start 2m L of 'Tombstone Row'. Marked "B". A fun, well-protected KP sport route. 5 RBs to DBB. FFA: Darrin Carter, Chris Poole & Mark Poole, 2002 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 | ★★ Lardy Lady's Lats
Good fun. Straight up, starting on the right side of the left of the two gum trees. FA: Martin Pircher, 1997 | 25m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ||
13 | ★ Trinity
The line of ringbolts at far right of wall. New anchor 2015. FA: C. Martin & R Chick, 1985 | 18m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
16 | ★ Tombstone Row
Start 5m L of 'Idiot Wind'. Marked "TR". Follow the line of 5 RBs to the anchors. A more direct finish was added when it was retrobolted, increasing the grade from 14 to 16. FFA: David Reeve, 1968 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 | ★★ These People are Sandwiches
The undercut buttress has a white/yellow streak down its left side. This is it. High first bolt over the rooflet, then sustained climbing up the gently overhung orange wall. Popular. FA: C. Martin & A. Penney, 1985 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
16 | ★ Karinya
Start up little corner thing and jug along to the top of the cliff. FA: Jason Lammers, 2006 | 25m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||

Used to be a carrot patch for the sports bunnies, with an awesome final wall. Now it has rings all the way. Carrots are still there, so take some brackets if you need to share a belay. Don't go as a party of 3 unless you are experienced, it eats too much time. If you have a pack, haul it on the second rope if you're getting tired. Don't leave toilet paper or rubbish, you're in a National Park, behave accordingly and don't get on routes like this if you don't know what that means. People have stupid epics on this all the time. Please read :- http://www.chockstone.org/Forum/Forum.asp?Action=DisplayTopic&ForumID=15&MessageID=26665&Replies=58&PagePos=0&Sort=#NewPost Generally safe, but run-out at times, with a few loose patches of rock. Take helmets as belayers are lashed to small ledges and can’t dodge shrapnel. Take 2 50m ropes (for rapping down, or retreating), 16 draws and a few slings. There is a blue emergency bin below Pitch 6, with some water, food, clothing, torches, and basic shelter. Don't call 000 just because you are benighted, so the police don't have to go out at night to babysit you. Please arrange to replace anything you use. ACCESS: It’s halfway to Hotel California from Mirrorball. Rap in as described above then walk along the track to the right (facing the cliff). After 30m, drop down around the base of Old Skule (clean arete on next pinnacle) and go 70m horizontally right thru the scrub till you hit an orange buttress. Continue down a bit and about another 70m to red rope and BBB sign: ★★★ Bunny Bucket Buttress 18 - 20220101_075236.jpg Now scramble up and right to a ledge 15m above the track, right of a chossy white patch, just right of a short squeeze chimney. Walk 10m right on the ledge till you see the bolts at the boulder problem start. (If you go down hill to a big fallen boulder, or see a 30m high black then orange corner (Randy Rabbit Ridge), or traverse beneath a choss cave, you've gone too far). Print out topos and route description or save them to your phone, as you probably won't have reception down there.
FA: V Peterson & M Law, 2005 | 270m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
17 | ★ Good Fortune
Stickclip if you are short (tricky start). Ringbolts. There is a loose ~10kg block at halfway: keep people clear below and try not to dislodge it. FA: D.Noble, 1990 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★ Mike and Lorna go to Town
3m R, incorporating a corner feature and some cruxy bits down low. FA: M.Stacey & L McManus, 1988 | 25m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★★ Diddy Kong
FA: Rod Young & Sue Young, 1996 | 24m, 8 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Wages Of Fear
Start 3m L of 'Cucumber Castle'. Marked "WF". A 'KP' classic! Straight up line of 5 RBs to anchors. First RB is high but a bit easier to get to than the first on 'Cucumber Castle'. FA: John Pickard, 1968 FFA: Roger Bourne, 1984 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 | ★★ Dreamcatcher
Similar start as to RoP, not as many holds as it looks. Small runout to anchor. Five UBs to DUBB. Excellent climbing. FA: Grama Page / Adam Dodson, 2007 | 15m | Brooyar | ||
24 | ★★★ Howler
Superb moves on mostly big, flat holds. Five bolts with a late crux to a lower off. Gareth's done it cleanly up, down, weighted down, in slow motion, and with bare feet... Seriously. Start: Just R of 'Madder' FA: Gareth Llewellin, 1999 | 16m, 5 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
18 | ★★ Johnny's Jalopies
Shared start with previous, then straight up. Fun jug hauling. Rebolted 2017. FA: C. Hale, 1995 | 20m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | ★ Pommy Bastard
Start at the "PB" mark. Ledges and crap rock in parts but still has some nice moves on it. Well protected. 5 RBs and lower-offs. First ascent was done in drizzling rain with a visiting American climber that washed into Mountain Designs when Mick was working there. FA: Michael Woodrow & visiting female climber... | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
23 | ★★★ Lyptus
One of the best warm ups for the harder routes and a fine route to earn the grade also. Very popular. Anchor replaced 16/10/18. [If the headwall of this route is wet, an equally good but dry 23 is “Lyptus Power”: Lyptus to the crux then easily R across Grape Hour (which will also be wet up high), to join Grey Power]. FA: J.Smoothy, 1989 | 23m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
14 | ★★ Mañana
Classic easy sport route - bring the bolt plates for this. Start 40m left of Katoomba Bros at grey face with a black streak up high, topped by a small roof. Straight up the vertical face mostly on jugs with two hands free ledges in first half. Thin start then consistent on good holds to the crux, which is just above the last bolt. Finish under roof. Well protected but with a little run out at the top just to make it interesting! FA: Peter Chaly & Niall Doherty, 2003 | 22m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★★ Samurai Pizza Catz
Probably the most popular route at Nowra at the grade. Great friction work. FA: Ant Prehn, Giles Bradbury & Trudy Bretherton, 1990 | 15m | Nowra | ||
18 | ★ Stoat Clips Bolts
Start 2m L of 'PITG'. Marked "SCB". Follow the zigzag line of 6 RBs to lower-offs. There's a 7th RB above the anchor if you want to continue up the last section and top out instead. Ensure that you and your belayer have good communication skills if leading this climb as the belayer can not see the climber when they reach the anchors because of the slab, you have to go halfway across the road to be able to see your climber at the anchors. FFA: Gordon Bieske & Rob Whannell, 1985 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
17 | ★★ Hang On
Start on the very right end of the terrace next to the big chimney. Climb up past a tricky move at the first bolt, then try some left edge bridging at the 2nd roof to overcome the crux, then cruise your way up (yes 3 roofs on this one). FA: Garth Miller | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ||
17 | ★★ L'Arch
Climb the slab beneath the cave passing a nice flake. Continue above cave tending slightly left to a flake, then back in line to lower-offs. Start: Start 2m right of BW FA: Tony Lindley, 2000 | 16m, 5 | Nowra | ||
18 | ★ Please Dry
Popular, mostly due to the bolts, easy grade and the weather protection. The middle of the three mini-routes. Wall to fun flake feature, then up tricky wall to finish. Some loose rock at the top. FA: Neil Monteith, 2012 | 12m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
23 | ★★★ Hot Flyer
Super popular. This is the way the route is usually climbed these days (in one pitch, all the way to the top lower-offs). Go left at the top (direct through the bulge isn't as nice - see below). FA: J. Smoothy & C. Peisker, 1985 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | ★★ Radioactive Man
Nice steep route with an exciting finish. The anchors are over the ledge. FA: J. Smoothy, 1995 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||
21 | ★★ Sound and Vision
Marked SAV. This is a great climb! Some very hard moves and a few of them! FA: R.Young & A.Prehn, 1983 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★ Powerbra Rangers
A good way to ease into this little wall. FA: Vanessa Peterson, 2003 | 23m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
26 | ★★★ Wholly Calamity
This is the extension to Screaming Insanity. No harder, just pumpier! Three more bolts keep the lactic levels up. FFA: Gareth Llewellin, 2007 | 20m, 12 | Mt Coolum | ||
15 | ★ The Arrow and the Song
Start just left of Karinya, climb left a bit then up. FA: Niall Doherty & Warwick Williams, 2010 | 26m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
23 | ★★ Cucumber Castle
Start 2m L of 'BARFJ'. Marked "CC". Classic climb but potential for big falls so make sure you're solid at the grade if leading. Hard start to small ledge and high FH. Follow obvious line past 2nd & 3rd FHs. Above 3rd FH place cam in crack or run it out to 4th FH. Finish at DBB. FA: Rob Staszewski, 1970 FFA: Andrew Barry & Paul Hoskins, 1984 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Hold on to Your Hats
Rings, just to the right of Pompadour. FA: D.Noble, 1990 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Jaqueline Hyde
Rebolted 2004. FA: J. Smoothy, 1992 | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | Chipped ★★ Chip A Holloway
Start 1m L of 'Anonymous' on right blank face of large ledge beneath high first FH. Fantastic. Boulder start to ledge then up daunting wall on holds that just happen to be right where they're needed. 6 FHs then slightly L to anchors shared with 'XXXX'. The route got its name when the pockets on the steep wall were created by chipping away the rock before the first ascent. Originally named Chip a Holloway after Darryn Holloway who chipped the pockets. Described in the guidebook as a tough 22 10 years ago... this was before the crux hold broke off. FFA: Andrew Horchner & Steven McMillan, 1998 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 | ★★ Chasing Amy
Straight up the wall following seam in centre of wall. FA: J.Smoothy, G & Short, 1997 | 22m | Blue Mountains | ||
17 | ★★ The Enticer
Follow R leaning corner and crack. Five U-bolts to a spicy move at the end. Lower-off. Similar style to Dreamcatcher at an easier grade. FA: Gordon Baudino & Colin Carstens, 2008 | 14m, 5 | Brooyar | ||
21 | ★★ Duck Tits
Left of Out For A Duck. Nice wall climbing with a fun juggy finish. FA: Jason Lammers & Tara Mylan, 9 Jan 2016 | 16m | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★ The Bolting Gestapo
Start 2m L of 'Adam's Rib', 1m R of 'Gobble'. Nice. Climb up clipping 2 RBs, then 2 FHs, then 1 more RB, then the anchor shared with 'Gobble'. Crux is mantling the bulge at the 3rd bolt. FA: ross ferguson | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★★ Gnarley
Some people find it that way! 3m R. FH's. FFA: Peter Monks & ross ferguson, 2010 | 18m, 10 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
14 | ★ Fucary Rug
The super popular left side of the arete. All rings and lower-off at top (or top out to carrots). FA: M Pearce & A Brown, 1996 | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
20 | ★★★ Theory of Negativity
Sensational juggy sport climbing up a long and steep orange scoop. Surprisingly easy with big holds the whole way up. Starts aprox 10m left of Lead Zeppelin at impressive orange wall. FA: Neil Monteith, 2009 | 22m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★ Quirrell's Quarrell
Start at the rather redundant DRB which are 1.5m off the ground. Good climbing with loads of very shiny ringbolts. Exciting finale. Set: Glenn Short FA: Glenn Short, Pam Short & john smoothy, Jan 2015 | 25m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
13 | ★ Pompadour
The best easy sport route at the crag. All rings. FA: C Martin, 1985 | 15m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||

22 | ★★ Strip Clubs
Slab with some nice pockets (don't you wish this went on for 50m?), then sustained headwall which should make your arms feel warm. FFA: Glenn & Tim Rowe, 2012 | 18m, 12 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
17 | ★ Woderwick
Start left of the cave as per BD. FA: Sue Young, 1994 | 15m | Nowra | ||
19 | ★★ Gun Barrel Highway
FA: Rod Young & Sue Young, 1992 | 25m, 10 | Nowra | ||
17 | ★★ Pass the Bosch
Start 2m L of 'Vegemite'. Good climb with sustained moves up nice rock. 6 RBs & DBB. There's a ground anchor just L of the base for lead rope soloing. FFA: Dave Whitworth & Michael Long, 2000 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 | ★ Nude Tuesday
Ringbolts. FA: V.Petersen, 2001 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||

20 | ★ Duckling
Direct line, right of Gosling. FA: Jason Lammers & Paul Thomson, 2013 Set: Jason Lammers & Wade Stewart, 3 Jan 2016 | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||

The best warm up here. FA: C.Hale, 1996 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||

The right route FA: John Hawkins-Salt, 1994 | 23m, 8 | Nowra | ||
20 | ★★ Move Over Brussel Sprout
Start at the "MOBS" mark, 2m R of 'FOBS'. Bouldery start and a little bit run out. Potential for ledgy falls so make sure you're solid if leading. Make sure to tend L after 4th bolt. 4 FHs plus an optional BR to protect the awkward reach back to clip the DBB. FA: Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1994 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 | ★★★ The Great Devoid
Fantastic climbing through steep territory on edges of vaguely Africa shaped plate. Up and over the lip trending L and up to recently installed rap station/lower-off. Start: Start in cave at right end of point pure, stick clip first bolt. FA: Saul Squires et al, 1993 | 15m, 4 | Brooyar | ||
19 | ★ Lonely Thursday
Rings to double ring lower off. FA: C Hale, 2000 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||
18 | ★★ Old Salt
Fun climb with nice moves, I've seen 2 ppl get flipped when falling just below the lower-offs - don't let the rope go behind your legs! FA: G. Short & P. Mort, 1994 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
17 | ★★ Butt Head
Very excellent slabbing, with a thought provoking crux. Start: Start on the juggy bit of wall 4m right of the chimney. Has a new second bolt to protect the ground fall. FA: Rod Young, 1994 | 15m, 7 | Nowra | ||
14 | ★ That Boy Needs Therapy.
Start 5m R of 'MOBS'. A popular beginner lead that gets harder as you go up. 4 RBs and DBB. | 15m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★★ Ladder of Gloom
Traverse rightwards into the base of the obvious rock ladder. A bit of trickery makes it easier. Stick clip first ring makes it better on the nerves. New anchor out left adds another 4 moves and restores some of the original climbing. Start: 4m right of Cenotaph Corner. FA: Mike Law & James Holbrook, 1980 | 12m, 4 | Berowra | ||
21 | ★★ A Day at the Beach
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. FA: Steve Bullen, 1992 | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ||
15 | ★ Such A Nice Monster
Start: A further 10m up the gully. Great! Five FH's up corner-like feature. Shares an anchor with TMMM. FA: Gareth Llewellin, M Smith & ross ferguson, 2004 | 15m, 4 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
16 | ★★ Barbie Twins
Very nice crack climb. Layback up the crack until the crux at the crack finish (3/4 up), then up holds to the RBs. FA: Rod Young & Catherine Eadie, 1991 | 17m, 7 | Nowra | ||
21 | ★★ Girly Germs
Start just right of FF. At the third bolt, you can go either way. Good solid climbing with a few tricky bits. FA: M.Pircher, 1999 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||

Thin face climbing on good rock with reachy crux. Rebolted 2019. FA: J Smoothy, 1993 | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||

19 | ★★ Birthday Bolts
A great wet weather protected slab climb! The right most bolted line on the wall. Start either via first few metres of the trad corner Constipation Chimney VS or boulder the start direct (grade 21?). A couple of clips are tricky if you are short. The bolts were a birthday gift from Vanessa and Ryan. FA: Jason Lammers, 2012 | 20m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
15 | ★ Big Dreams
Up beside the cave (on its left) as for W, hand traverse across the ridge. Left foot high step onto the lintel to get that 2nd bolt and up you go. FA: Sue Young, 2000 | 15m | Nowra |
