V3 | ★★ Zenith Direct
Same start as Zenith but finishing directly above by jumping to the rail and topping out using the three slopey bumps over the lip. PA: 12 Dic 2017 | 4m | The Fear Factory | ||
V3 R | ★★★ Incoming!
Start on the big pocket, then up to the crimps and over through the seam. A fall from the crimps would be nasty causing observers to yell ….'Innncoming'! PA: Pete Balint | 4m | The Balkans | ||
22 | ★★ A Pound Of Flesh
Cruxy start straight up to the anchors. Sharp pockets may extract their pound. Originally known as Rewind. First ascent was direct to the first bolt but I believe earlier attempts started further right. The grade is up for review. | 8m | Blue Mountains | ||

Up the green streak cracks via tips layaways | 3m | Undercliffe | ||
22 | ★ Histrionix

Stand start above a covered hole at the right end of the face. Climb the short face above. PA: Oliver Miller | 4m | Halls Gap Area | ||
22 | ★★ Allodynia
Bolted face, visible when crossing small bridge along the track. Quite a gap between 2nd and 3rd bolt so consider taking a small cam or extend the 3rd draw if you’re unsure. | 15m, 5 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ||
V3 | ★★ Main Line
Sit start left of splitter crack, steep crimping to the top. | 3m | Narrabeen | ||
22 | ★★ Krazy Kanguruh

V3 | ★★ Sky Rockets
Another loose hold has been found on this popular problem. Please refrain from working it until the second hold has been repaired. A super fun sustained roof lined with good holds Sit start at the same common area at the left of the overhang. Pull on and follow the line of holds out to the right most part. At the solid letter box stay right to top out on the right most part of the arete Hold towards end of the climb is flexing a lot without much pressure. Welcome to work the first half of the climb or try skip the hold but please avoid till potentially fixed. A reminder to let rock dry for around 2-3 days as moisture can retain in the rock. A good pump with a rewarding finish Equip: Ranger Dave Archer, 31 Jul 2014 PA: Ranger Dave Archer, 31 Jul 2014 | 6m | Iron Cove | ||
22 | ★★ Out of Tits
Start up 'Out for a Duck' until the roof section then finish up 'Duck Tits' after traversing readily left. A link up but worthwhile and avoiding the crux finish. | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★★★ Flight Line
Start: 6m left of S. Left of the arete to arete. Up. PA: W.Baird, 1982 | 54m | Blue Mountains | ||

22 | ★★ Sea Of Fools
A couple of metres left. This climb has a very obvious face up the top covered in hundreds of pockets.

Now that excellent pocketed wall with 2 more RBs to the top. PA: Andy Anderson, Saul Squires, Dave Whitworth & Dani Geraghty, 1993 | 15m, 4 | Brooyar | ||
22 | ★★ Pump left out
Wall just left of The Shield, up slab and through 2 cool roofs. PA: Michael Law, 2019 | 15m, 5 | Stanwell Tops | ||
22 | ★★ Eudaimonia
A great climb up a series of bulges and seams on the left end of the wall. This route was originally chipped in two places, the lower one has been filled so grade has been bumped up. Rebolted 8/2009. Start: A meter left of the chipped "PT" PA: Neil Mahant, 1980 | 20m, 6 | Lost World | ||
22 | ★★ Engineering Feats of the 80s
Great climbing on very unique, sharp mountains sandstone. A carrot or two and then fixed hangers all the way to the anchors. Has gone from under- to over-bolted thanks to the retrobolts added circa 2012. Currently 23 in the 2010 Blue Mountains Guide PA: R.Weigand, G & Clark, 1983 | 25m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | Cut-lunch Cowboys
Contrived, but the moves up high are quite ok. Start 3m R of 'Snatch and Grab'. The flakey line to the arete. Climb L side of the arete. Resist the urge to stem L or R. Up to double ring lower off. Rebolted May 2023 - Safer Cliffs Victoria. PA: Simon Parsons & Russell Crow, 1988 | 14m, 4 | Werribee Gorge | ||

22 | ★★ Boys Games

V3 | ★ 2) deep V
Most certainly Glenn just got the grade mixed up in the first 2 routes. This is V3 and generous at that! | Arapiles | |||
V3 | ★ ???
Mystery shrouds this line, who busted the flake then cleaned it up? Just how chipped is it? What's that smell? Like I said, mysterious. | 3m | Mount Beckworth | ||
22 | ★★★ Expiry Date
| 55m | Moonarie | ||
V3 | ★★ LB9
Sit start. Continue right below the lip including a great pinch to top out on the nose. Cool. | 4m | Inner Melbourne | ||

V3 | ★★ East side North side link up
Start at the ladder at the South/East end of the South boulder. Go up to the break traverse along the break to the North East Corner. Go round the corner into the overhang traverse. It's probably been done before, but I've listed it as it's a good link up. Equip: Ziggy Samways PA: 14 Nov 2015 | 11m | Palm Beach Boulders | ||
22 | ★ Numerical Fever
The 1st route you come to. On the outside of the cave. Scramble up EZ ground, to a nice flake - punchy to anchors | 14m | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★★ Free Passage
There are two obvious lines up the front of the main buttress. This is the one on the right. Classy, technical climbing to the large ledge on the right, then step back into the line and finish up the stylish finger crack. The crux is protected by a very small wire, which will be very difficult for the vertically challenged to place. Abseil inspection is recommended if you value the integrity of your ankle bones. | 15m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ||
22 | ★★ Space Ape
Reachy through roof to good edges. Best to use double ropes to avoid groundfall. 2RB PA: David Gray, 1983 | 6m, 2 | Watagans | ||

22 | ★ The Long Goodbye
Start at the fin, boulder to the ledge and then head straight up the face. A slung cam might help protect the runout bit off the first ledge. Finish at lower off for Red Sorghum. Optional #1 friend. PA: Mike Peck & Brogan Bunt, 1992 | 20m, 8 | Canberra | ||

22 | ★★★ Thickening Agent
Start 5m right of Serendipitous Cracks at small cairn (cairn has now collapsed , build another if you are short) , fantastic climbing on soft features , through small overlap. A rope stretcher but a 60m will just get you to the ground. PAL: 7 En 2016 | 32m, 14 | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★★ Cryptic Clue
Starts in a shallow groove about 5m R of the previous route. Some thought provoking and very nice climbing up the groove and face leads to a cruxy section going through the overlaps about a third of the way up, to gain a small ledge. There is a double bolt belay here for The Ruin Of The Cluan, but unnecessary for this route. PA: Gerry Narkowicz, 2006 | 40m | Cluan Tier and Whiskey Jim Hill | ||
22 | ★ Intralabial layback
Bouldery start up to the labial feature,then straight up to the same anchors as BP PA: paul, 1987 | 10m, 5 | Bouddi National Park | ||

V3 | ★★ She'll Be Left

22 | ★★ The Ace of Spades
Up steep scoop past 3 bolts, then use a long sling on 4th bolt before traversing left to clip the last bolt of 'Subterfuge' and finish as for that route. The guidebook states "despite appearances the rock is very solid", but the rock scars suggest otherwise. PA: Jason Lammers, 2005 | 15m, 4 | Nowra | ||
22 | ★ Fear of Flying
Downgraded to 21 by Simey, so you can probably expect it to be reachy. Start: Start 5m R of SB. PA: Nic Taylor & Kevin Lindorff, 1975 | 12m | Arapiles | ||
22 | Same Same But Different
PA: M.Pircher, 1998 | 13m | Blue Mountains | ||

R-leaning crackline and arete. Some tricky moments passing the first bolt. PAL: Lee Cujes, 2014 | 20m | Urbenville | ||
V3 | ★★ 7
a highly unusual problem - it's actually easier if you face away from the rock! Park your bum on the left side of the slopey ledge and reach up for the break. Very Cool, though I'm not sure if the Fonz would agree. PA: Unknown | 4m | The Spit | ||
V3 | ★★ 17 RH variant
From a stand start, head leftwards and up past a glory incut at head height to the hueco then up. | 4m | Canberra | ||

22 | ★ Nordwand
Start on the rock platform, up jutting features to the 1st ledge. Bridge corners to get to 2nd ledge. Now it gets harder - grasp for pockets and thin footholds to reach the diagonal ridge. Slap direct to the anchors with a huge lunge off the ridge gaston, or pike right and use the arete if you are not tall enough. PA: 2012 | 15m, 7 | Mount Keira | ||
