23 | ★★ The Lost Boys
Read warning below. This route does have bolts with SS carrots but they are quite well spaced apart at about 5 metres so pucker factor is a major issue. Top pitches are very sparsely bolted with 20 metre run outs. As this climb is rarely done algal growth can obscure the bolts. full trad rack is also necessary. There is a 110 metre traverse on the lip of a huge roof. Ability to re ascend a rope is a must in this area for self rescue if fallen off route you'll be dangling 100 metres above the apron. Possibility of a bivy ledge one pitch above traverse ledge. Two people can squeeze on to this tight ledge. There is a descent option from the top of this climb however finding the start to the rap route is problematic. Good luck finding it. Best option is to find start at bottom. Start is around 2/3rds across left from descent gully. Abseil descent has had it's anchors replaced as of early July 2020. All anchors are SS. Warning. Recent ascent by Duncan Steel. He describes the top several pitches as having deteriorated badly since he did it 15 years ago. We discussed why and we came to a consensus that the black lichen and the north facing cliff bakes in the summer sun and the skin of the rock exfoliates in the very high summer sun. This route really needs renovation and a retro bolt. Duncan warms that this climb is no trivial matter and death or very serious injury could result from anyone just turning up and having a go.

M1 | Bilbo Baggins
A jamming problem. Clean rock, a logical line, fantastic climbing. Straight up the crack then through the overhang with some thoughtful moves. Continue directly up the slabs. FA: Luke Hyam, 2003 | 15m | Coomba Falls | ||
M1 | ★★ Vertical Reality
A distinctive, slightly overhung crack line. Start at the straight up hand crack that splits the wall. Go directly up the crack, absorbing cams and donker nuts. Continue up the small face at the right. A section of this crack has crumbly rock, affecting protection placements, this may clean up over time. Moderate protection. FA: Derek Platt, 1994 | 17m | Coomba Falls | ||
M1 | ★ I Feel Good
Finger jamming fun. This is behind The Spearhead. Go up. Starts left of the big boulder on the ledge above. Move up through the overhang to the ledge at the right; this section is shared with Sinbad. Go left past the tree to the finger crack and proceed up to a sexy completion with wondrous jugs. A section of this crack has crumbly rock, affecting protection placements, this may clean up over time. Moderate protection. FA: Derek Platt & Neil Walters, 2004 | 18m | Coomba Falls | ||
M2 | Sinbad
Slippery, then gritty. Start is shared with I Feel Good. Start left of the big boulder on the ledge above. Move up through the overhang to the ledge at the right.

18 AID:A1 | Old and Grey
(18M1). "See topo" they said......this route isn't shown on The Crag topo! Details unsure, however a likely situation is that it shares the start of Red Heat before traversing right, sharing the end of the first pitch of Evolution. Keep going past Evolution's belay to to bolted belay 10m right on the same ledge (shared with Jump Master and 'The Bridge to Total Freedom'). Up the next pitch and a half of Reason for Man (passing a couple of bolts), before traversing left back across 'The Bridge'[724942089] and into Red Heat for a pitch or so to gain the large 'Evolution cave'. 'Old and Grey' then traverses left a pitch to join Scorpion to the top of the wall. Note that Old and Grey predates all the other routes on this wall. A great effort for the time, but unlikely to appeal to anyone sane these days. FA: Ian Brown & Don Fletcher, 1977 | 300m | Bungonia Gorge | ||
24 AID:A1 | Celestial Mechanics

Climb cracks (mainly right hand crack) to ledge. 2nd pitch (15m): Left across loose blocks, traverse, then up to hanging corner. Aid for 5m to ledge then free to large ledge. 3rd pitch has not yet been completed. Might go free at about 22. FA: D. Baker (rope solo), 1996 | 75m, 2 | Coffs Harbour | ||
18 AID:A0 | ★★ Prince Planet
Start at crack 4m right of Antichrist. Up crack to ledge then left up to BR then up onto second ledge and traverse right 5m to top of boulder. Step up onto wall and up to roof then up crux to ledge.

FA: Scott Camps & Bill Lukin, 1986 | 22m, 2 | Girraween | ||
15 M5 | Animal Act
Start: at the top of the East Face - LH end (looking at the cliff), a bit back from the gully, almost on the corner of the gully, down a sloping ramp. Pitches 1) - 4) Down the ramp, abseil, then traverse to pedestal, climb down the crack, traverse with aid to Phaedra, lower 25-30m, tension (pendulum) across 18m to The AntiChrist bush(!?). Pitches 5) - 9) Traverse Right, up cracks to Beau Brummel ledge. Easily down groove, traverse Right to small cave below the crux of ROI (pitch 3). Pitches 10) - 12) Up Ruby Of India to the top. Although it reverses Party Trick, there is considerable new climbing. Varied climbing, mostly free, across an exposed wall. FA: Rick White (solo), 1972 | 300m | Mt Maroon | ||
22 AID:A1 | ★★ Phaedra
Phaedra is an historical and adventurous climb, first envisioned by Rick White in 1969. To gain access, proceed up the hiker's track, past Egg Rock, to a stand of Shea-oak, just below the Central Knoll: East Face - Phaedra access topo Start below the obvious rooflet halfway up the wall. Either belay on the ground or off a single ring on the ledge 10m off the ground. ★★ Phaedra 22 A1 - Phaedra - 1st belay Cameron Fairbain,Simon Vos on ★★ Phaedra 22 A1 - Phaedra 1)45m 19 - Start up the slab past a peg, angling towards the finger crack, continue up this, heading towards the hanging flake on spaced but good gear. Pull over the flake up to a belay at a sloping ledge below the rooflet. 2)15m 20 - Clip the SS carrot (hard to spot) above the belay left of 3 rusty carrots. From the belay traverse left and up the shallow groove to the left side of the overhang. Traverse right under the roof past gear and 2 pitons. Pull through the roof, to the hanging belay at 2xRBs directly above. ★★ Phaedra 22 A1 - pitons under overlap 3)20m 19 - Proceed up the corner, to a crack and up to the base of the headwall for a hanging trad anchor. Below the bolt ladder. 4)35m 21 M1 - Climb up the old bolt ladder (4x) on the headwall to gain the slab (20/21) above past shallow gear to follow 3 carrot bolts (left trending) on the slab in a breath-taking position to the top & 2xRB belay in alcove on left. Gear: small to medium cams, lots of wires, plates and a skyhook. Rick & Paul pegged their way up p1 in 1969. Rick White, Jeff Morgan & Ron Collett freed p1 (18 by their standards) & aided the whole route in October 1971. Paul Hoskins & Joe Lynch freed p2 in 1983 (they would have freed p3, but Joe forgot his shoes.) Fred From & Chris Frost freed p3 in 1983. Jon Pearson came close to freeing p4 in the late 80s, and Glen Foley almost freed it in 2007. FA: Rick White, Paul Caffyn (p1) & aided, 1969 | 120m | Mt Maroon | ||
22 M2 | ★ Valhalla
Has the distinction of being Australia's first 22. Scramble/climb up the easy start next to ROI & onto the belay ledge. Starting in RH corner, trending left up weakness, then up, slightly right trending, into crack corner & up this to flaring off-width at top. Aid your way out to lip. then up over this to a good belay stance above. Be wary of the original button bolts put in by Rick 47yrs ago; these are only 1" deep or so & hand-drilled. Very rarely climbed, the route is rather chossy & vegetated. (Estimates of freeing the downward flaring crack at the top start at around grade 27-28.) FA: Rick White, Ron Collet & Ted Cais, 1972 | 45m | Mt Maroon | ||
14 M5 | Party Trick
Rick White in RURP September1972: 1-5) Up D2 to top terrace, walk left & belay on left ledge. 6-8) Climb down gully ca.20m (rope assist) to a traverse line. Traverse left, then up grassy corner to below crux of BB. Climb down crack (rope assist), traverse left & up to "AC" ledge. 9-11) Peg up to AC bivie bolts, lower down ca.25m & pendulum across to Phaedra bivi bolts, 8m below roof. Peg up past bolts to roof & then through roof to more bolts. Traverse left (2 pegs), lower or fall off a tied off knife blade, pendulum & tension with difficulty to bush(?). Up crack to magnificent perched belay. 12-13) Up diagonally left, through blocks. keep traversing: up short wall, then easy finish. Ian Thomas: "Why wouldn't you want to complete the first girdle of a big exposed face, spend the night in a free hanging hammock, flail around on an 30m pendulum and scare yourself silly with hard aid?" FA: Ian Thomas & Rick White, 1972 | 390m, 13 | Mt Maroon | ||
18 M4 | Climax
"Start: The white line in the buttress. Start Right of Deep Purple.
"Superb climbing and positions - the best on the buttress." RURP July/August 1972 (unfortunately neither Ron nor Tony can recall exactly where the route exited the cave or went from there.) FA: Rick White, Ron Collett & Tony Kelly, 1977 | 82m, 3 | Mt Maroon | ||
17 M4 | Erotica
Quoted from RURP:
"Good mixed climbing up a fine line." RURP July/August 1972 (Ron cannot recall the details of this route, but I would suggest that it is Right of the cave.) FA: Ron Collett & Rick White, 1972 | 76m, 3 | Mt Maroon | ||

Start 30m right of Deception II tree (now a blackened stump).
FA: Trevor Gynther & Tony Kelly, 1972 | 64m | Mt Maroon | ||
18 M4 | The Red Haired Farmer's Daughter
Start: About 100m right of the N.E. Buttress (see topo of start) in the shallow corner. The initial 1st belay block is now gone.
Named after they spotted a girl on horseback that day. (Length of route is an approximation only) Trevor's original notes: "trees" may no longer exist. FA: Trevor Gynther & Tony Kelly, 1975 | 120m, 4 | Mt Maroon | ||
23 AID:A1 | ★★★ Solar Quartet
Start: About the same as for TCFR. Bolts + trad.
FA: henk morgans, peter jones, Nick Bilton & James Fisher, 2005 | 130m, 4, 25 | Mt Maroon | ||
15 M3 | A Slice Of Cold Mutton

(Trevor's notes) FA: Trevor Gynther & Tony Kelly, 1975 | 130m, 4 | Mt Maroon | ||
AID:A1 | ★ Hanger Wall
Start 2m R of 'Gangbang Wall'. A bolt ladder aid climb up a line of about 15 BRs. Paul Hoskins "freed" this with the use of a bolted on "Grogan Road" street sign at grade 25. The last problem at 'KP' waiting to be truly freed. FA: Ted Cais, 1968 | 18m, 15 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 AID:A2 R | Initial Adustment
Simon and Neil initially adjusted about two tonnes of loose rock off this route before roping up for the first ascent. It was top-roped originally at grade 17, ignored for many years (for good reasons) then Neil came back and aided and drilled his way up for practice one afternoon. The remaining hangerless bolts are questionable! Start: In front of Light Box 10, a few metres left of OLBDNSWD. Locate thin crack. Aid up this on small to medium wires to below vegetated ledge. Mantel this (BR - probably gone) to rest. Up right past aid bolt to another mantle onto a small ledge below smooth headwall and BR (probably gone). Aid up the wall past a rusty old aid bolt (still there), then traverse directly left to chains on ST. Rap off. Warning - bolts may be very weak by now. (NB: I would suggest that the aid bolts & bolt runners are now long gone, cleaned off by BCC in many rock scaling events. As of 2022, one rusty BR remains high up on this route.) FA: Heath Black, 1993 FA: Neil Monteith, 1996 | 15m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 AID:A1 | Garbage
Possibly the worst excuse for a climb at 'Kangaroo Point'. Neil merely used this climb as an extended test block for his newly purchased hand-drill and etriers. On the same day he had to rescue a lost student who decided to solo up the white choss to get to the TAFE that used to reside along the top of this section of cliff. Start: several metres left of large white landslide below, a BR. Up mank to ledge and BR. Up corner above past dodgy aid bolt and BR to below crack. Aid up this to ledge and BR. Scramble up dirt ledges to top. As of 2022, this whole area is overgrown and awash with vegetation. FA: Neil Monteith, 1996 | 25m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
AID:A1+ | Magic Carpet Ride
Historic route description included here for posterity - this route is on & behind Riverlife property. Contrived. Up Spack Attack then traverse right and hook up edges to top. FA: Fraser Chetterton & Matt Tatham, 1996 | 14m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 AID:A1 | Light Years Away DF

AID:A1 | Silly
Marked 'S'. Starts down near the first railing on the path. Walk up from the track through some grass to start. The line of four manky, horrid, rusty bolts leading to a natural seam. Some silly attempts have been made to free the route, but the bottom section is sharp and difficult. | 10m | Castle Hill | ||
M4 | Aid Route
On this L gully wall there are a couple of white streaks running down the wall. The L-most white streak up a water scoop is the first pitch of an aid climb. Rusty thin bolts, rusty pitons and 316 stainless rivets run up the climb. The climb goes to the rap chains and beyond another couple of pitches. You'll need multiple birdbeaks, hooks, RURPs, thin nailing gear, pitons, rivets, a hand drill and a bunch of other stuff... FA: Monsieur Beaulieu Jean-Louise | 25m | Castle Hill | ||
15 M0 | This Wheel's on Fire
At the far end, 75 metres left of 'Ape Chimney'. Starts at a thin crack to the right of an obvious square cut gully. Two nuts for aid then up to a ledge. Continue up a corner past a tree. May well have been freed. FA: Bill Wilson & R. Warner, 1973 | 20m | Orroral area | ||

23 M1 | Discount for Heroes
Named after a comment by a local 'hardman' of yesteryear. Takes the central line about three metres right of Never Get Famous. The first pitch has some good moves.
FA: Dave McGregor & Matt Madin, 1985 | 35m, 2 | Pierce's Creek | ||
22 M1 | Six Blade Knife
On an isolated boulder about 100 metres downstream from Watts' Wall is an orange wall split by a finger crack. Up easily to start, through the roof and straight up the crack to the top. Several points of aid. FA: Ben Jones & David Lyons, 1989 | 25m | Pierce's Creek | ||
19 M0 | XMO
The short steep crack above the cave on 'Lest We Forget'. Two rests due to incompetence. FA: Mike Peck & Jim Truscott, 1989 | 15m | Orroral area |
