★★ Barrel Blow 22

A big airy adventure and the first route bolted at the crag. Starts about 10m from the left end of the wall, at short orange corner. The first 20m of this route is cruisy jugging to break (step R here to TPO anchor for a grade 15 warmup). Then a tough little ‘slab’ boulder problem, traverse slightly left and finish up baffling steep short corner. Longish draws required. Named after Neil’s 20 litre plastic barrel took flight during an epic wind storm and ended up down in the Grose valley!

If bolting new routes please avoid squeeze jobs, linkups or variant starts/finishes. There is enough rock for heaps of independent lines. Go for a walk! If your proposed line comes within 3m of an established route, please ask the person whose route it is so as not to devalue their original vision. Avoid damaging any vegetation in this area.
