Noeuds dans Mr Big Area

Has sun from about 11.30am in winter and is protected from the wind.

The dirty but decent looking crack. It will get better as it cleans up. Take small cams and a vision of what could be.

The Blue Mountains are a World Heritage listed area. The Grose Valley, the cliffs around Katoomba and much of the Narrow Neck peninsula are part of the Blue Mountains National Park which is managed by the NPWS. The Western Escarpment - where most of the climbing is - is Crown Land managed by the BMCC. While the NPWS Plan of Management nominates several locations in the National Park where rock climbing is deemed appropriate, the majority of the climbing remains unacknowledged. To maintain access our best approach is to 'Respect Native Habitat, Tread Softly and Leave No Trace'. Do not cut flora and keep any tracks and infrastructure as minimal as possible.

Practically all crags are either in National Park or in council reserve: dog owners are reminded that dogs are not allowed in National Parks at any time and fines have been issued, while for crags on council reserve the BMCC leash law requires that dogs be on-leash.

Left arete of big wall. All ringbolts.

1. 20m (18)- Hard for grade for first two bolts, consider a big stick to stick clip 2nd ring. Then long pointless runout to 3rd ring. Belay from chains in cave and move belay 10m R to rings at waist level.

2. 15m (12) heave ho up and then L to arete and rings in cosy cave.

3. 25m (18) up arete to rings at top.

Can just rap to first chain belay ledge from top anchor with single 60m rope, and then on to ground.

1. 25m (16) Ringbolts on R side of arete. Ignore first set of DBB on pillar at 10m, these are for GL. Optional #1 cam eliminates runout to anchor.

2. 25m (13) Continue up arete to ledge below roof.

3. 25m (19) Through roof, then L across face to surf over exciting and exposed, leaning arete. Anchor well back on ledge (best to rap, not lower).
