Ascents in Wollomombi Falls

Basically simul-climbed the whole thing. The rock quality is not ideal as mentioned prior but not as bad as I was expecting. A fun day out.

A full day of Tablelands adventure climbing. Some very good rock quality throughout, interspersed with sections of poor and loose rock. Variable climbing with some thought provoking moves and a committing crux section on very small/run out gear. Plenty of dry moss on this face. If you’re getting desperate for pro try looking under some moss. Amazing scenery. Dress warm, no sun on wall during winter.

Rap: Good clean fun until we got a rope stuck at the bottom of the 4th rap. Scotty belayed me up my 1st pitch here to retrieve said rope.

P1 14 (25m): a little bit hard to find the start. We walked in from the big ledge below the last rap, 20m above the creek line. Ended up starting a little R of the description in a large off-width crack with a chockstone to a semi hanging belay. Up and R of top of crack.

P2 16 (20m): up and L of small roof into one of two open corner/s. I started in the R corner and traversed into the L when pro and holds looked better. Up to big blocky ledge with a series of large cracks for big bomber pro.

P3 18 (25m): From blocks head up and L into open fused corner. We momentarily considered going R at blocky belay to see what we could find but eventually opted to stay the path of ATR. RPs protect the first moves here after which is a committing run-out move up the blank corner before traversing L at or above the arête to find good holds/pro out on slab. Head up to find obvious crack line in which you should site some history in the form of a #6 hex. Belay here or continue on if your ropes allow.

P4 16 (35m) Continue up crack line and through mossy and slightly loose/chossy sections. I stepped L at the first blocky overlap before rejoining the crackline above. More mossy skatey sections above but with good pro. Belay on top of blocky pillar at top of crack or continue another 15m to sentinel belay as described in guide.

P5 (40m): From sentinel walk R along base of slab until you can step up onto slab. Scramble up and L to top.

Pulled on all the bolts cause I had samdshoes, not that there's any holds on it anyway

Great fun, rigged the highline off the tooth. Felt much safer the second time for sure

A grand adventure with an awesome multipitch rap in and an airy knife edge out 6 hrs car to car. I think the goats did and FA up the wall at G5 everyone loves shrub runners ahaha.

Didn't get it clean as you are literally climbing egg shells!

Man this thing is scary. quite chuffed to have finally gotten up this thing. extremely committing and dangerous, even with a rope. vast majority is unprotectable dirt and sand. The places where it gets steep, it gets chossy and the only pro are small weak, thorny bushes. take care and make sure you're 1000% positive you can finish it cause anything going wrong down there, is a major rescue opperation.

Quite the adventure. Description sums it up pretty well. Quite the choss fest. But good exposure and a fun day out. Protection is fairly questionable. Simul-climbing with three people sped us up. Only belayed on one step down and for the "TOOTH OF DEATH"

An awesome way of getting to the bottom of the gorge. The chains and bolts seem fine. Another group walked down at the same time and were about half an hour quicker than us rappelling but we had way more fun.

Climbed the ridge again after 20 years. Still just as intimidating, chossy, vegetated, scary and classic as I remembered. It is as close as you can get to alpine climbing in NNSW. A great adventure for those who appreciate the opposite of sport climbing.
