Grade | Route | Gear style | Popularity | Crag | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
21 | ★★ Where the Roodads Sing
Start just right of Mansion. Offwidthing and some thrutchy climbing. 2 number 6 camalots nice to have, FA done happily with 1, no 5s necessary. Up to anchors. Traverse ledge to meet Reactor anchors. FA: Josh Mackenzie, zoe cox, Bert & Ernie, Aug 2023 | 60m, 2, 2 | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★ Mansion
Start up bolts just right of Reactor in layback overlap. Follow crack on gear, trend left across slab to final bolt and up lo Reactor anchors. FA: Josh Mackenzie, Cam Brown & Zoe Cox, Apr 2024 | 50m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
23 | ★★ Gabara
Gabara is a Kaiju that doesn't actually exist -except in the mind of a child, as the monstrous manifestation of his real-world bully. Heavy stuff, indeed. A proud-looking left leaning seam crack with oodles of exposure, and very sporty steep cruxes. Starts on a small ledge above the main ledge (access by ascending a short fixed rope). Bring a full rack 0.3-3, wires, and doubles of 0.5 and 0.75.
FFA: Paul Frothy Thomson & Match, 1 May | 55m, 3, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
14 | Come as you are
Left Arete with steep first moves. FA: Goshen Watts, 25 Apr | 10m | Victoria Range | ||
20 | ★★ Oh, Me
Up middle of slab - straight off the block. Good pro appears when it's needed. FA: Goshen Watts, 25 Apr | 10m | Victoria Range | ||
15 | ★ Polly
Flakes up the middle right with a tricky start and finish. FA: Goshen Watts, 25 Apr | 10m | Victoria Range | ||
19 | ★★ All Apologies
Direct up the thin line on the RHS, reachy fingerlocking jugs. FA: Goshen Watts, 24 Apr | 9m | Victoria Range | ||
23 | ★★★ Something in the Way
On the left of Tangarine Slide, about 15m L of Boys That Go Bump is a L slanting hand-crack. 1) 20m 23 Classic and technical jamming. When the main difficulties are over, step up R to grey wall with a final tricky move to the belay. 2) 15m 19. Step R off the 'large block', and climb up to flakes. Follow left trending cracks to ledge and abseil anchor*. 33m to ground. *Note that there is currently only one anchor bolt, this will be soon fixed, or walk off is an alternative. FA: Goshen Watts, 26 Apr | 40m, 2 | Victoria Range | ||
29 | ★★★ Eden
Wandery start leads to some outstanding and unique climbing on the arete left of Norseman. Two bolts and pre-placed gear. FA: S. Bishoff, Oct 2023 | 30m, 2 | Killiecrankie | ||
21 | ★ Adrift
A daunting lead up a beautiful grey slabby wall on perfect rock. Technically only grade 18 or 19 but there is no protection on the crux 8m run-out. This pitch climbs the best and boldest section of the old route Drifting (21). Start at the double ring belay at the top of the first pitch of Spillway. Up the juggy wall to skirt the far R side of the recessed ledge (the major flake/crack line above is Gigi's Climb). Drift R-wards and climb the easy shallow recessed flake. When it runs out, move up L-wards for a couple of metres to a short (200mm), but deep, finger-width crack. Load up with bomber pro and launch off up the superb wall above. You will eventually reach the Shining Path bolt on the arete. Continue as for the the Shining Path (up the slab, traverse R along the foot-traverse [Sluice] and up the short vertical crack to the belay rings below Shining Path's last pitch). Either continue as for the Shining Path (grade 19) or three rappels down (30m, 30m and 10m). FA: Glenn Tempest & Karen Tempest, Mar 2024 | 30m, 1 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ||
17 | ★ Re-Employed
Up crack down on the R side of the slab (as for BFC, An Undeniable Truth), Step L to thin crack, then straight up the slab via 4 FH and some trad gear (small-med cams). Go through final roof 1m Left of chossy overhang - via a cool hidden pocket. Still quite runout despite the bolts, although much of the climbing is easier than TCBFC. Rap point is 36m exactly to the ground. Note, final FH is not quite the correct type, still works but will be replaced soon. FA: 28 Apr | 40m, 4 | Victoria Range | ||
25 R | Wild Rose Direct
Climbs wild rose direct to the start of the roof seam. 0.75 cam protects the roof dyno. Bring a good spotter for the start! FA: 27 Apr 2022 | 25m | Arapiles | ||
23 | ★★ Rivers of Tali Karng
Thrilling climbing. Power past two bolts to the break, then step left and pull through a series of commiting moves (#2 cam essential). Briefly recompose at the stance. Gain horizontal above and continue on technical edges just right of NAH's crack. Follow ramp to it's end then directly up to DRB anchor. 60m rope will just get you to the ground. | 32m, 2 | Victoria Range | ||
24 | Lest we Forget
Route faces north. Good in cold temps. Rap chains are on a boulder close to edge, about 5 meters back left along large ledge. Abseil 35mtr to semihanging belay/rapchain in small overhang. Abseil another 25 mtr to next rapchains on face below large ledge, this requires a pendulum to the right. Abseil 35mtr to large ledge. Route starts in corner to right looking in. Bring a single rack up to #5 Camalot, doubles in #0.4 to #2, 12 short draws, four alpine draws. No boltplates.
FFA: Evan Wells & Hugh Sutherland, 25 Apr | 100m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ||
13 | ★ Something To Think About
Start ~5m right of ITOSE, at the first possible belay stance of the crag near a small tree. Slab moves are followed by easier terrain and a large flake just to the right. A couple of harder moves lead to a crack that looks better than it is. Up to a stance below the bulge. Once past the bulge run it out raversing left to the anchor of ITOS. Second to clean and rap. Tricky nuts comprise most of the gear on this one. FFA: Nick McIvor & Max, 25 Apr | 30m | Mt Beerwah | ||
20 | ★ Helium
Consistently interesting climbing and a worthwhile addition to the wall. Up the leaning, awkward corner of Mums the Word. Step L, up the cracks, then pull the fingery arete (bolt) to reach the narrow ledge. Resist the temptation to pull up and stand on the ledge, instead step across R into the finishing crack of Speechless. Lower-off anchors to the R. FA: Glenn Tempest & Kevin Lindorff, Mar 2024 | 23m, 1 | Arapiles | ||
19 | ★★ Low F (linkup)
A good way to do the good bit of F Sharp from the ground. Start up Dirge for 8m, move left and up Low Note to the base of the diagonal, and follow this up L into the business of F Sharp. When it gets easy head R to the chains and lower off back to the ground. It's possible to clean your own gear (with admin), but much better to have someone second it. | 35m | Arapiles | ||
18 | Dirge LHF
It is possible to do a harder finish to Dirge by heading left before you get to the chains, traversing across the blank wall to join the final flake system of F Sharp. FA: Keith Lockwood & Ed Neve, 1977 | 50m | Arapiles | ||
20 | ★★ Rusty Carrot Bolts
Takes the crack in the middle of the wall, drifting a metre or so left past a bolt when the crack peters out and face holds thin, then back right to join the upper pitch of Not About Heroes. Good gear all the way, doubles of small & med cams may come in handy. Has a rap station, 28m back to the ground | 30m, 1 | Victoria Range | ||

14 | Shake it like a polaroid picture
Start as for Kodak moment, and then head right once your standing on top of 3m boulder, head to the back of the ledge and then up the corner crack, finishing at the tree. FA: Tim Mayer, 21 Apr | 15m | Mt Ku-ring-gai | ||
★ Closed Project
5 metres left of City of Joy. Start off block, delicate moves left from undercut to a mantle and up thin layaway crack. 3 bolts and trad to DRB anchor. | 20m, 3 | Victoria Range | |||
28 | ★★★ Gambler's Fallacy
Immaculately desperate corner crack with a powerful start. Begins from large shelf down low (climbers right). Up bouldery start and technical layback past bolt (using the slab on the left takes away a grade) continue up thin crack with technical feet and increasinly fleeting hands to the top. Plenty of bomber gear on solid rock. would strongly advise stick clipping the bolt. FA: angus smith, 20 Apr | 25m, 1 | Halls Gap Area | ||
11 | ★ The Stairs of Cirith Ungol
The leftward slanting ramp to the left of Emergent. Undoubtedly very similar to the climb near Shelob's tunnel in the Lord of the Rings. Up, up, up the leftwards ramp, then follow the weakness direct to the top. FA: Duncan McIntyre, Liam Mcintyre & Callum Mayer, 14 Apr | 15m | New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||
13 | ★★ Emergent
Directly up the crack when you emerge from the chimney walkthrough 15m right of Seafood Tapas and 10m left of Prawn Cracker. Up the crack, trend to the left of a cave then back right and up the face to finish. FA: Duncan McIntyre & Jim Rock, 11 Apr | 15m | New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||
11 | ★ Prawn Cracker
The obvious crack left (north) of Prawn Wall. Romp on up the right trending crack with lots of good jams and holds. Pass the tree and anchor from the double bolts at the top of Prawn Wall. FA: Duncan McIntyre & Jack Pezzey, 12 Mar | 10m | New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||
15 | ★ Circumstantial Evidence
Starts 2m left of The Lady with the Handbag. This route climbs under the tree rather than over it. Climb up on some delicate holds with no pro for the first 5 meters or so (crux) before reaching some nicely featured rock with better holds. Duck under the tree (sling the tree if you dare!), then continue up much more easily following the obvious groove/crack which provides mostly adequate gear placements. A few meters before reaching the overhangs, step right to traverse several meters across to the bolted anchors of Barracuda. FA: Bruce Schneider & Aaron, 15 Apr | 20m | Mt Beerwah | ||
10 | ★ Ciguatera
From the start of Octopus's Garden/Sealab 2020 wander diagonally up R. Take the first vertical line, a pleasant short offwidth to jugs. FA: Paul Badenoch, Paul Gray & Mark Witham, 1 Apr | 18m | Granite Island | ||
14 | ★ Electronic Cucumber Machine
Marked ECM. Corner Crack. Top out to lower off. | 10m | Viburnum Crag | ||

Rad Trad on Amazing rock. Start is marked 31E. | 15m | Viburnum Crag | ||
14 | ★ The Birthing Canal
Start 3m right of SeaLab 2020 by downclimbing to the diagonal crack rising up to the right. Easily up the crack crossing a drop in the ocean. Continue up the rising crack passing a nice looking slab and continue moving right until a cave appears. Enter the cave then exit through an eliptical hole to gain the top of the nice looking slab. Exit right to belay. FA: Mark Witham, Paul Badenoch & Paul Gray, 1 Apr | Granite Island | |||
15 | ★ Another Way Up
Another way to get up on the ledge. Plenty of holds on either sides. Medium to big cams. Take care when passing the chockstone. Anchor-in by slinging the boulder on the left or use the cracks. FFA: Achi, 13 Apr | 17m | Wildside | ||
10 | ★ Half Nip
A lovely climb with the crux in the first 2 moves. Start as for the nips are getting smaller. Up to the horizontal at about 2.5m for good cam placement. Now step left to arete and straight up. Continue up arete to an open book corner. Place good runner in the corner and step left onto arete. Continue up arete to the top. FA: Mark Witham, paul gray & Paul Badenoch, 1 Oct 2023 | 13m | Onkaparinga | ||
26 | ★ Carrot Paste
Start up second pitch of Taipan but head out right at the crux and up to boulder problem (levitation required) continue up easy wall and into geranium. FA: S. Bishoff FFA: Mark Mcgivern & Dylan Tubaro, Apr 2024 | 25m, 1 | Killiecrankie | ||
15 | Regenerative Wool
Climb crack left of landmark trench and up nose of arete. FA: Goshen Watts & Jimmy | 15m | South-Eastern Grampians | ||
19 | ★ Stanage Dreaming
Climb the juggy crack to ledge, continue straight up past small cam slot and through tricky gritty sloping mantle. Continue up to ledge for belay. Stepping left and climbing the middle of the slab is about grade 15, but run out. FA: Jimmy & Goshen Watts, 11 Apr | 15m | South-Eastern Grampians | ||
16 | ★★ Fresh Sashimi
Lovely crack with a bit of a grovel down low. Great gear, comfortable with a BD5, a little run out with only a BD4 and run out with only some BD3s. Needs a brush but can be led as is. FA: Ryan L | 15m | Stanwell Tops | ||
25 | ★ Biblical Psychopaths
Shares same start as Cellophane Heroes, but after intial crack continue straight up the thin crack past 2 RB to a DBB. FFA: Goshen Watts, 12 Apr | 15m, 2 | Victoria Range | ||
25 | ★★ Penguin Up a Tree
Quality climbing on good rock to DBB FA: simon bischoff, 2023 | 25m, 2 | Killiecrankie | ||
24 | ★ Champagne Socialism
Follow undercling trending right to join Peppermint FA: simon bischoff, 2023 | Killiecrankie | |||
26 | ★★ Hazy Purple Rabbits
Excellent endurance link up of the crux start of purple haze and the pink rabbits head wall. Head right at obvious horizontal and up to hand traverse pillar into PR at second ring on head wall. Requires a bit of trad (.5-2 camelots) but a couple of bolts will make it more popular. | 18m, 5 | Halls Gap Area | ||
26 | Father Sirocco (linkup)
Some consider this a route that isn't worth recording; others consider it to be better than either of the two original routes that it links! It is easier than either of the original (sandbagged) lines - maybe that accounts for its popularity. Start up Father O to its second bolt, then traverse delicately left to join Sirocco's second bolt. Finish up Sirocco. | 30m, 5 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ||
★★ The Year of Loving Dangerously Extension
As for TYOLD when you get to the dispatched traverse instead of following that bast up through more steepness. (Closed project) Set: adam demmert | 35m, 6 | Arapiles | |||
13 | Idiot Sandwich
You'd have to be. In the cool cave R of Monosynaptic is a large suspect broken flake. Climb the R side beginning at an undercling before traversing left to the other side, horizontal at feet. Continue up to the big ledge to belay off the flat boulder. Walk to FPA anchors to descend. | 23m | Mt Stapylton Campground | ||
14 | One Two Seven
Finger crack 15m r of Sega, shares anchor with ROC. | 18m | Mt Stapylton Campground | ||
17 | ★★ Monosynaptic
A singular brain cell. Classic R facing dihedral. Starts from the ledge and goes direct up brilliant finger and hand jams, now meticulously scrubbed for your consumption! Worth bringing in a single rack of cams and some wires for. Belay/ lower from Beefeater anchor or top rope it after. | 21m | Mt Stapylton Campground | ||
13 | ★ Glass Barbeque
Crack addiction. Follow the major splitter to the convenient anchor above WtB. Shuffle some cams not larger than a #4. | 25m | Mt Stapylton Campground | ||

Crack between the two sport routes to 10am anchor. Fiddly. | 13m | Mt Stapylton Campground | ||

1.5m rt of Totally Testicular, at the top traverse left to DRB. FA: Rowan, Jan 2024 | 9m | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★★ Double Agent (LH)
A classy corner route, with two equally excellent starts. Take the left crack and step across to the main line (19) or go direct (18). Lower-off. FA: Chris Lang & christoph speer, Feb 2024 | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ||
15 | The day the gear ran out
Starting at the same spot as The Henryk Manoeuvre (without clipping the bolt) head straight up and over the rooflet past big hole. Follow your nose and finish up crack to the right of THM. Top out or step across to anchors. There’s good gear in decent rock the whole way, but it’s not always easy to find in a sea of questionable rock. Not a beginner lead. FA: Brendan Coulter, Mar 2024 | Blue Mountains | |||
23 | ★ Another Branch
Start up "Magical Faraway Tree" then at the 5th bolt branch right with good gear. To a bolt up higher. Either down climb to the bolted belay or quest on up. FA: Dylan Tubaro, Mar 2024 | Killiecrankie | |||
27 | ★★ Quibble
FA: S. Bishoff | 20m | Killiecrankie | ||

18 | Beyond the Edge of Reason
Some choice quotes from the first ascentionist: "Climbed a choss first pitch from the ground (kayak access) ...wouldn’t recommend ...some of the worst rock imaginable... it's quite impressive how bad some of the sea cliff Dolerite can be. It looks compact and then just sheds scales." Despite the sage words, the kayak approach may mean the pitch is worth repeating. Take a triple rack including big gear (#3 & #4) if you want it to be a bit more pleasant. FA: Tom Baanders & Sarah Groth, Mar 2024 | 40m | Fortescue Bay | ||
17 | ★ Espresso
Awkward then pleasant hand jamming up the groove crack to a lower-off. FA: Chris Lang & Christoph Speer, Feb 2024 | 17m | Fortescue Bay | ||
17 | Are you serious
The crack/groove just right of the flake, traversing left to the anchor at the top. FA: Chris Lang & Alex Doyle, Mar 2024 | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ||
23 | ★★★ Cake or Death
It's definitely cake! Take the committing line through the left of the enormous roof to the face crack and face to the top. For now rap off a tree near the top. Anchors and a bolt will be installed at some point - somewhat spicy (but safe) topout until this happens. Micro cams (.1 and .2) and a small (yellow) offset nut or cam recommended. FA: Chris Lang & Alex Doyle, Mar 2024 | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ||
16 | ★ Don't take my baby
Nice climbing up the box groove, with a convenient tree to rap-off at the top. FA: Chris Lang, Alex Doyle & March 2024, Mar 2024 | 15m | Fortescue Bay | ||

22 | ★★★ Never Let Me Go

15 | ★ Blank Canvas
The appealing hand crack. Lower-off. FA: Chris Lang, Christoph Speer & February 2024, Feb 2024 | 15m | Fortescue Bay | ||
17 | ★★ The Illusion Delusion
Steep jamming with a nice bulge a half height. Looks 3 grades harder and is an absolute delight. Take a #4. Lower-off. FA: Christoph Speer, Martin Brown, Chris Lang & Alex Doyle, Mar 2024 | 15m | Fortescue Bay | ||
19 | ★★ Life Starts at No.5
The striking flake / off-width. Jam, layback and struggle up the prominent line to a lower-off. Take a couple #4 and #5 cams. Quite unique, and not bad for this sort of thing. Lower-off. FA: Christoph Speer, Martin Brown & Chris Lang, Mar 2024 | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ||
21 | Hidden Secrets, variant start from Je Suis Un Legend
As for Hidden Secrets but take the easier start of Je Suis un Legend instead of the tricky boulder. | 25m | Arapiles | ||

26 | ★ Molecular Debris
FFA: Christopher Glastonbury & Ashlee Hendy, 12 Mar | 10m | Eastern Mt Difficult Range | ||
10 | The Lady With The Handbag
About 1m left of Mistaken Identity: thin crack or weakness in the rock. Up this, with no gear, to top, then traverse 2m right to rap anchors on MI. The original ascentist graded it at 10. I would take that with a grain of salt, especially given that there's no gear or protection on it. Bold Climbing. FA: Terry Svingen & Lillian Sando, 2007 | 17m | Mt Beerwah | ||

The best climb on the crag, up the challenging seam, With good but fiddly gear, don’t be tempted to head out to the bolts on the face to the left! FA: Ingvar Lidman, 1 Nov 2023 | Pretty End Ridge | |||
18 | ★ Space Oddity
Short steep crack climb FA: Andrew Cadogan-Cowper, 24 Feb | 8m | Orroral area | ||

obvious large leaning crack at the end of the cliff FA: broganbunt | 25m | Nerriga | ||
21 | ★★★ Just Boog On Up!
Heady slabbing which blasts up the blank face between Step Aside and Cordon Bleu, but stays entirely independent of the other lines. Classic! The gear is sparse but should keep you off the ground in most places. | 30m | Freycinet National Park | ||

4 | easy slab no.1

Other Side of the Bower
Hidden from view around the arete at the end of the ledge. Climb onto the slab, up chimney and onto ledge (probably best done with a rope). From here you will see the steep finger to hand crack. finish at DBB as for BACINT. FA: jack jane & Luke Molineux, 10 Feb | 20m | Mount Buffalo | |||
Bowers Always Crumble in the End (closed project)
Pull onto ledge however you feel to the black often seeping corner. From here move L into century box with some difficulty. Up to undercling, punch out L and up face passing 3 fixed hangers to DBB. | 25m, 3 | Mount Buffalo | |||
11 R | Trial By Wombat
Start: about 30m right of NOTLF. Up with the buttress on your right. The gear is terrible but at least there's not much of it. Nice climbing and bridging moves at the top protected by 2 FH's. FA: Nov 2020 | 23m, 2 | Mt Ngungun | ||
22 | ★★★ Festival of Sweat
A period of unstable air mass creates a big pump. Brilliant sustained climbing on waterfall washed rock. Stem up the steep corner (trad) and out the bulge onto the face above.
