Descripción

This sector has two parts, the steep orange wall of Arapiles style rock split by two cracks and an upper terrace to its left. Routes are described right to left.

Restricciones heredado de Tianjara Falls

BOLTING IS BANNED to the left (south) of the lookout and 100m right of the lookout as this is National Park land. Please avoid climbing on the cliff directly under the lookout, not only will you probably get a rock or beer bottle thrown at you from the tourists, you'll also attract unwanted attention from the authorities! Do not build new rock cairns - apparently there is an $11,000 fine if you do.

Acceso

From Hairy Snotter Wall walk 30m to the left (facing cliff) where the orange wall will become obvious. Access to the upper terrace is via a chimney on the left.

Ética heredado de Illawarra and Shoalhaven

Lots of bolts in this region. Most development has been done after the 1980s.

Start up the arete on the right hand side of the wall. delicately dance your way up the thin face, then follow the crack to glory

Equip: Graeme Hill

Start on the right side of the wall below the diagonal crack of Not Sure. Up wall, slapping up those Arapiles like bums with little edges at the back. When the going really gets tough pike out towards the crack on the left then up NS and continue through roof and on to anchors.

Equip: Graeme Hill

The crack, what more of a description is there. Done years ago when chipping the name at the bottom was in fashion. At the right diagonal crack in the great looking orange wall. It was Trad back in 78 but is full of ring bolts. Yeah for stainless steel! Follow the crack through the roof to the top of the crag.

PA: G. Hill, 1978

Climb the crack of Not Sure until you can branch off to the left and head up into the roof. Hard moves gaining the scoop under the roof then easier to the top.

Equip: Graeme Hill, 2011

Line of fixed hangers between 'Not Sure' & 'Tonnage Zone' cracks.

New bolts - 2016

Start: Just left of righward leaning crack.

PA: Glen Jones

Crack climbing so what else is there to say. At base of large trench like crack splitting the left side of the orange wall. Marked with an engraved initial 'T'. Bridge around the crack and through the roof. Follow crack and wall to the top and walk off to belay or rap off a tree.

PA: G. Hill, 1978

At the crack splitting the left side of the orange wall. Shares the same start as Tonnage Zone.

A direct to the climb on the right which gives at least half the fun. Better grow long arms or get strong for this one as the moves in the first half are rather reachy. Shares the same start as Burlesque. Left three meters from the Tonnage Zone crack, on the left side of the orange wall. Starting at Burlesque off a rock so that you can reach the first holds. Alternatively boulder the start but it just makes it unreasonably hard. Climb past the first three anchors of Burlesque and head to the rather closely spaced pair of ring bolts above the break in the brown rock. From here follow the crack system and bolts, to the anchors.

PA: G.Hill, 2009

Sequencey, bouldery, and at times dynamic climbing on great rock. A perfect next step up after doing Bullen's Route. Slightly height dependent through the cruxes, so more like 27 for shorter climbers.

Equip: Glenn Jones

PA: Duncan Brown, 19 Sep 2020

Climb Bullens Route for 7 or 8 bolts and then join into the Burlesque project for its crux and final 2 bolts then its anchors. Adds a bouldery sting in the tail after the bulk of Bullens Route. You could possibly do a few moves right and into the 21 and avoid the boulder around the bulge below the roof, but then what fun would that be!

PA: Duncan Brown, 1 Ag 2020

One of the best routes at Tianjara and a classic for the grade! Sustained climbing on bulletproof orange sandstone! Closest climb on the right of chimney, follow ring bolts which replace old hangers. Shared start then trend right at Y split.

PA: Steve Bullen

This bum covered arete is a classic. Steadily overhanging throughout its entire length its lucky this one has no small holds on it. Over bolted to the max. Several sequences of grade 19 with a crux or two of 21 thrown in at opportune moments.

Start: At Bullens route. First bolt defies belief.

PA: G Hill, 2011

Start at the base of the chimney at the left end of the wall, 8m left of Tonage Zone. Climb the arete/ chimney to the anchors.

PA: V.Hill, 2009

Crack line 2 meters left of a deep chimney at the left end of the wall.

Start: From the large ledge.

PA: Jono Whitfield & John Lattanzio, 2009

PA: Jono Whitfield & John Lattanzio, 2009

Short bulgy wall. Like really short! But really bulgy. Fortunately there is a jug at the top of each bulge!

Start: A meter or so left of the 4x2 crack up on the ledge.

PA: V Hill, 2010

Not much longer than the routes either side but a little better.

Start: Left of the crack in the middle of the wall.

PA: V Hill, 2009

Another bulgy wall with a little less bulge.

Start: Next line left.

PA: V Hill, 2009

Short and a little bulgy. You could send your grandma up this one.

Start: On separate wall to the left of the gully. Ten meters left of the bulgy wall trilogy.

PA: V Hill, 2009

Start on face of block in front of the wall with the Belgium names. Right hand of the two routes.

PA: Jay Hill, 2011

Start on the face of the block fronting the main wall left of OFJ.

PA: Graeme Hill, 2011

A little longer than its bulging buddy to the right and better.

Start: Two meters left of the short Bulgy wall. On the right side of the overlap.

PA: V Hill, 2009

Longer but easy climbing. Start by bridging as necessary to avoid any forearm strain.

Start: Off ground level in slot three meters left of the short bulgy walls on the right.
