Bouldery start then left a bit, rightwards up yet another thin finish. Very popular warmup. Start: 3m right of Gash.

Marked TW. Classic featured wall with awesome giant thread in the middle. Up past giant thread (don't thread in case it breaks), then up to clip-and-go lower-off. For the full value tick mantle out onto the top and belay off u-bolts a few metres back. Rebolted 2015.

On the left arete 1m left of PD. Up arete past 2 Ubolts to lower-off up and right.

About 35m R of the main wall at a left facing orange corner. Easy start and up into nice corner. Pop out of the corner and up the nice headwall. All new RB's in 2014.

Start: small corner at right end of wall, up and leftwards up scooped arete to double rings. 5 rings.

Great fun!! Straight up to ledge then jug up over easy lip and blast straight up.

Nice warm up, 3 U's and a lower-off

Start: 8m right again or 10m left of track. Initialled.

If you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you'll like. A classic with exposed climbing on good holds with 'sporting' bolting, but there are a few chimney moves so long pants recommended. The apparent grade depends a lot on when you started climbing: if you started in the 60s it's be 10; 70s = 13, 80s = 14. This century somewhere between 16 and 20. The obvious left leaning chimney to the right of The Cathedral cave. Up then use jugs on right arete. Above chockstone/roof thing, step around left arete and up to lower off. Technically easy but pretty out there, better to be overgraded than a sandbag I suppose....

Sydney classic at the grade! A great example of a mixed route, requiring quite a bit of trad. Start on right side of main wall at the right leading groove/flake feature with very high first bolt (stick-clip it). Up the groove (2 RBs), sling the top of the feature and take a well earned rest. Finish up a exposed flake crack on left side of arete (cams and wires) then one final RB to lower-offs.

Start at right end of cave, at right side of small trees sitting against the rock, 4m R of Sideline Jack. Up. Another nice warmup.

Easy climbing on big holds, very fun on great rock.

As Grandma's Wheelchair but climb directly through the cave to give it a punchy and fun start.

start 1m L of Dorothy May. Jump from boulder to jug just right of crack (Lean Too) and up. 3 rings and lower-off. Previoulsy bolted on coach screws, rebolted Nov 2016

Start 2m right of IADL, up past thin flake to arête.

Another slabby wall with a FHs. This one is a bit mossy. If you avoid the crack on the right near the end its a few grades harder.

Up crack to ledge, then up easy jugfest to small overhang jugs.

Fun bouldery start, then up slab and up through rooflet to loweroffs.

Did you know that the first European settlers burnt most of Sydney's Aboriginal oyster shell middens to make cement? Start just right of Aardvark and climbs juggy steep scoop feature. Finish right up to the top of the cliff to lower-off anchor. All ringbolts.

The rock inside the steep scoop is fragile and can break. Be cautious.

STart in small orange groove 6m L of Ready Set Go, 15m L of Flack, and 30m L of where the track hits the cliff. Hard move to start then up arete.

Slopers lead to a commiting move onto the overhang. Haul over and follow bolts up arete to finish.

Climb the arete on the right finishing at the rooflet

Lots of fun, Nothing too hard. Just make sure your belayer doesn't stand in the ants nest. 2m right of Bolt It And They Will Come.

Rebolted with real glue. A wall past a few steep moves. Go left to shared lower off with Travolta.

Best place to warm up. Tricky mantle to start then up via blobs and horizontal jugs to anchors under rooflet. Take care with the big undercling at the 2nd bolt (it looks like it's been taken care of).

Good warm-up. Right most bolted route starting in a small cave off a rock ledge. 4 u-bolts and single giant u-bolt lower-off.

Start on left of crack and up to lower off.

Corner crack just left of End of The Decade. 2BR out right or can be led as trad. Good varied climbing.

Up over two ledges to face and crux. 4RB's to lower offs.

The right hand route off the ledge. Up past 2 bolts onto the slab, traverse R along the break, up the small corner to the bulge and anchors.

Up crack 1.5m left of ST, then up of blunt arete.

Fun wall, start as for Airtime Traverse and straight up

As the name suggests, the diagonal crack system leading out of the start of 'She-Oak Crack'.

Boulder problem start to Zip from under roof

1m lt of LLBQ, up thin face to bigger holds up high, shared anchors.

Start: 2m right of arête. Tending left to shared anchors. (staying off arête until 3rd bolt)

Corner on left of wall, Start up Room With a View, step left and clip 3rd bolt on The Heist, step left to corner and up.

Straight up over two breaks. Add a grade if you're short. 2RB's to lower offs.

Start: 2m right of CO

Climb the thin seam using the bolts on Ag Science for protection. Traverse easily right and lower off the DRB’s of Technical Short Talk, or finish left as for AS

Start beneath first bolt heading straight up to right side of small cave. Straddle the nose with feet either side of it. NOTE: Once third draw is clipped recommend unclipping second draw to avoid rope drag over sharp edge.

Shared lower offs with Clingwrapper.

Climb up into pod shaped chimney, then struggle out to continue up crack. Not well travelled, fiddly gear placments.

Start: 3m right of 'Alison'

Lowish start under low right hand arete with left hand in sidepulls. Move up and left to the middle of the face, then up. Sit start variant: Start matched on the right hand arete/undercling. Awkward thrutchy move to the pocket sidepull probably adds a grade.

Black wall just left of Violet Bumble.

Right side of buttress, starting at right facing corner. Tricky start then heaps of slopers right to the top. Surprisingly tricky.

Start 1m left of MacGuyer, up. Nice but tiny. Soloed then bolted.

Link the start of Bird on a wire for 2 bolts, into the finish of Parrots of the Caribbean.

Also excellent! Up right side of bulging slab. Use the arete to start then go left onto slab. 3 BRs to triple BB.

Climb as you like straight up or to the left or right of the climb

sit start with a hand in each break on low slab. stand up and gain big rail. Move up and right to top out.

2m right of SSS. Hard start to easy finish. 3 RB's to lower offs.

An obvious face climb with one big/ish move, tends left to 2nd bolt. 2 RB's to lower offs.

Start: 2m right of BB, straight up the face on big holds. 4 RB's to shared lower offs.

Nice slab climb with some thought provoking moves, Starts 2m left of Twisted Roots. Straight up wall into small corner, over ledge (Twisted Roots traverses here) and up to lower off. Rebolted on rings. Watch rope length.

Fun crimpy face on ironstone edges.

Start: North face of the north boulder

As for Enterprise

Follow flake on right at top.

Loose and blocky. Start on left side of face, 2m right of arete. Up slab to steeper wall with easy finish. Glue in BRs to DBB.

Up orange wall , then left out of cave to head wall and anchors.

Up slab right of SS. Another of those thin slab lines that are the style of this area. now a mixed route. Small cam in pocket low down.

1m left of AMLOS up face at flakes tending left over bulge into cave and anchors on lip.

Start on high wall up and left of A Close Shave.

1m left of HO below bulge.

Hard move off ground (more like 22!), then up over roof on jugs and up slab. Triple BB belay (shared with HO).

Start in the hole and continue up the right side of the streak.

As this climb is a rising traverse crossing most of the routes on the main slab it is best attempted on quiet days! Climb Into The Void to bolt 2, then right 10m to bolt 3 on Kicks, up Kicks and lower off. During the lower off unclip last quick draw on Kicks to make life much more pleasant for the second(!)

Contrived but engaging. Follow 3 BRs (staying left of the crease) to a double BB belay up on top of the cliff (or lower off BRs on ledge 2m lower down).

Start: 1m right of StN

First line after the arete on the left. Blast up to the break if you're tall or move delicately up the slab.

Warning: the first bolt has been chopped.

Start at R end of bouldering traverse. Boulder the start then up slab and then left through contrived steepness.

Best forgotten as lowering off will trash the bushes below.

Start below wall, 2m left of T.

Undercut, crimpy and slightly sandy start (will clean up with more ascents). The first placement is a little high - get a spot from your belayer. Cams in breaks, BR on top section. Either trad belay at recessed ledge, or (recommended) continue up the triangular block (cams) to double RB belay/rap station.

As for ID. Silly.

Up to BR, left to arete, up and right to RB, back left to arete then up.

Up over small rooflet to face and anchors

The overhanging rock on the far left side of the inlet (facing into the shore) just before landings start getting dicey

The obvious corner system, with bomber gear - was originally marked DT. The first completed climb at Rainbow.

Start at the obvious break to the right of the overhang. Keeping your hands high and your feet moving, traverse to your left. Rounding the nose make your way to the next obvious break and perform a mantle.

#Dangerous. This climb has a giant loose block above the bolts that appears to be balanced on a small chockstone. If you pull on it or snag the corner with a rope it may rip out. You have been warned.

Right end off wall. Up crack to slab passing 2 BRs, horizontal break and up to top. DBB on top.

Left arete starting above the rusty metal. Up the arete, trying to stay away from OOW. New stainless u bolt lower offs 2021.

Good holds and footers at the start while becoming more committing the higher you send.

• Historical FA: Unknown
• Documented FA: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013

Below arete at right hand end of crag. Good moves past 3 FHs.

An easy and fun sit start for the beginner. Start as low as you can with your right toes placed so low in the vertical hollow that it's almost touching the ground. Make your way up exiting at the left hand water mark.

Thin start to bigger holds tending right to anchors

Carrots now in place for top roping. Safety line required to set up anchor.

Perform a mantle between DDD and DS. Head left through the forest and hope that Ranger Dave is there to save the day if you can't commit to the crux.

Start at lip of the boulder cave, pulling up just below first bolt. Up and slight left.

fun, one move wonder!

Bouldery start with surprisingly tricky top out. Start on ground, not rock on the left. Unless you want to.

Up face past couple of big pockets to victory jug. Caution! Hollow rock between first and bolts.

Start: 100m Right (east) of the descent at the highest part of the wall. Up the pocketed wall with a wet footer to start.

A fun line doing a balancy traverse from 'WMCS' this all the way to 'UBB'. Nice moves on the face.

• Historical FA: Unknown
• Documented FA: Scott B, Ryan L, 2017

Tip-toe up the ledges and edges in the middle of the wall.

Drill hole right of Gebr Alexander.

Climb the face immediately right of the cave. Resist the temptation to put your foot in the stirrup 'cause this is Sydney sandstone.

3m right of FF. White marker AARD at base (to the right of 260 graffiti) Up 2 bolts on pockets and edges, take left 3rd bolt. Same finish as FF. Spotted boulder to your left is out for the start.

Up face just in front of boulder

4m to the right of DT, climb up face, without using any of the holds on DT. At 2nd RB move to the right and up to shared lower off with 'Fatboy'. Rebolted 2021

Please do not climb this route as it is above a sensitive aboriginal midden.

A contrived sit-start. A bit loose (eeeeyakabo!). Start as for 'Cosmic Ecology Variant. Traverse left then strenuously up to ledge. Continue up slab to double BB

2m right of R.

Up the flaring finger crack.

Quite a bit easier if you use the back wall for a chimney. (Maybe a 14?)

You can set up a top rope using a 3m and a 6m sling around two different bolders above (+ ~ 6m of connector tape). There is a very rusty bolt that I wouldn't trust.

Start 2 metres right of Monopoly: Climb into the scoop and comfortably clip the RB. Friction up the slab to reach sloping holds, continue smearing upwards and mantle shelf onto the holds. Stand up and clip the next RB. Move left to lower off Monopoly Both Monopoly & Trivial Pursuit are both excellent practise pieces for the harder slab climbs to the left. 10 metres to the right of these climbs is a pathway that descends to Angels Buttress and also another pathway upwards that joins the Cathedral descent path. To reach the Cathedral descent path climb upwards 10 metres right of Trivial Pursuit and follow the yellow and white insulation tape bands to reach the main access path

1m right of K9.

Up to traverse line then head right to arete (thread runner on tree?). Up hanging slab. Looks unprotected and probably harder than 17
