Harder than it should be... or much easier if you take the blinkers off. 2m right of Rosetta Stoned. Loads of bolts at the crux to keep you safe. Climb direct at 24+ - or use the obvious holds on the right for a nice grade 21.

Lovely technical climbing up great orange rock. The shallow crux pockets seem unlikely - but the low angle of this wall makes it feasible.

Starts 4m right of Tequila Sunrise. Wall to overhung arete.

Jump or pull up for jug in roof. Pull up and left on amazing jugs and edges. Two big moves up before heading right to pull the lip/arete and up to lower offs

A long climb with variety! Find top of Pinochio - fix rope and rap 25m down to vegetated ledge with single bolt anchor below orange face sprouting ringbolts. Up gorgeous orange face on slopers, through a juggy bulge then left out rooflet on gnarly pockets and onto grey slab (bolts end here). Finish up reachy horizontal features and crimps with bomber cam slots just left of Pinochio.

An easier alternative trad start up shallow left facing flake crack 2m left of the 'face start'. Belay off single RB.

Starts 3m right of the crack. This climb is basically two boulder problems divided by a sit down rest in the middle. Ideal for strong climbers with no endurance.

Now has stainless steel carrot bolts to replace the old mank. Fun moves of pretty good rock. Cut slightly right to the last carrot and then up.

This is awesome. Start below the fine crack with a bolt, 4m left of corner. Up the wall past breaks and three bolts. At third bolt head right up the double edged flake. Don't place gear behind the suss flakes if you enjoy life and are looking forward to more of it!

Ascends the discontinuous thin cracks up the centre of this piece of wall to finish either up the thin crack (better pro, but harder) or the flake to its L. Another trad masterpiece.

Great sport climbing on lovely orange rock. This is the ringbolted line right of Hungry Eyes. If you stay where the bolts are and don't sneak off right where it is easier then you don't share any climbing with Permissability. Either way the last few metres are the crux! To get the full tick, climb past the double bolt anchors for one more move to the large pocket and back-jump to the anchors.

Varied and sustained wall climbing up beautiful polished rock with the typical cruxy Windjammer finish. Starts 1m left of Tenere behind small tree and 2m right of SS Minnow. Five U-bolts and four or five good cam slots (fingers to hand size). Save a #2 Camalot for pocket in the finish moves. Lower-off anchor is 3m below the top of the cliff at large finish pocket.

The middle one of the 3 major crack lines. Gets thinner and harder as you get higher and pumpder. This was John's pick of the area.

Start just right of Turning of the Tide. Up past short corner and numerous breaks (natural gear) to headwall with three carrot bolts and a fixed hanger. Seriously tricky up high. #3 and #4 cams are handy right at the start. Belay off mid-sized cams 6-8m back.

Shady, steep, all bolts and great face moves. Start up the corner as for Montezuma, then follow the rings on the right wall and through a small roof up high. Belay off mid-sized cams 6-8m back, or carrots 20m back.

Continous steep climbing on mostly big holds. Currently the right most line of bolts on the lower wall. Easy start up jugs then the angle starts to steepen and the holds get smaller. Keep fighting through a pumpy section to jugs. Finish up superb polished rock heading slightly left to double rings on ledge below top pitch of All Guns Blazing.

Multipitch sport route straight up the guts of the biggest and steepest section of Point Perp. Very sustained climbing on immaculate rock. The first pitch especially is an absolute stunner. It's 90m direct to sea level via free hanging abseil - a 100m rope, or two 50m tied together makes rap access easy (knot change required if using two 50m). Otherwise - fix a 50m rap rope and clip into bolts on the way down to the belay ledge at end of pitch 1. Then use a 70m rope doubled to make it to sea level. Don't attempt the lower pitches if the surf is up!

1. 36m (23) Unrelenting pumper. Starts from sea level at left end of massive steep wall - starting off rock platform. Easy start up jugs to meet right end of rooflet at 10m. Now plow direct up the overhung wall above on mostly big jugs. They won't feel like jugs by the time you finish though! Finish with a spicy runout to small ledge on the left (bring a single bolt plate for this belay). Alternativly continue into 2nd pitch (50m pitch!) 10+ bolts in this pitch.

2. 14m (24) A bouldery little number. Out right from the ledge and over tricky bulge (random FHs) and rightwards on great glossy rock to next ledge and bolt belay. 4 bolts.

3. 36m (23) Undercut start to (shock horror) short bolted corner crack. When this ends pick your way up pumpy pocketed headwall until blistering crimpy crux at smooth orange section. Finish up long section of large sandy pockets. Retire. 13 bolts.

Bolted seam.

Rap in off double rings to double rings at ledge. Up then punchy second half with a big chuck to a pocket to finish

Start: As for 'Liquid Insanity' but dont traverse back right, continue up arete.

Clip first bolt of FL, then make way to arete passing another bolt. Follow arete passing 8 more bolts with one hidden around the left. Apparently grade 26 if you don't use the holds on the left of arete (but given one of the bolts is around there... .

Overhung and very very exposed - even for Point Perp standards. This is a mixed route - only 3 bolts in the lower half - the rest is cams in horizontals - try not to pump off placing them! Rap in down the finish corner of Women and Children first - clipping into gear/bolts on the way down to stay connected to the rock to ridiculous hanging belay on lip of roof. Climb up and right through short chossy section to rooflet, over this (reachy) then straight up face and steepness above. Cams from finger to wide fist size required.

Pumpy climbing with a mono pocket at top which Greg split his finger on the FA.

Mono action near the top!

Up to thin, hard finish at top.

1 FH and 3 rings up overhanging wall L of Cut And Thrust. Cams 0.4 to #3 useful.

Either start off the main ledge near the corner "Puffin" or rap as per Tinder Surprise to independent belay anchors.. Small to medium cams at start and then bolts to the top. Crux at mid height.. Highly polished rock will make this climb harder with humidity.

Found near the bottom of the alley at yellow wall capped by small roofy type overlap. Don't let the very thin and fragile start put you off. If you snap off any of the start holds just chip a couple of new ones. Its not the start you are climbing this route for, its the next 8 or so moves which are the stella crux. Once thru to the ledge then its easy to the lower offs. Route name changed at request of first ascentionist

Major steep arête on right side of orange face. Quite unusual climbing style for 'Nowra', with lots of sideways holds and blocky edges. Start arête direct with bouldery moves past first bolt. Rest on stance then more trick moves up marbled rock to tricky crux bulge. Finish up crack.

Start: Starts 10m left of 'Mystery Mossy Slab'.

Flake and slab line on immaculate rock.

This one has it all. Left of BWL and up a little gully, under a little roof at the base of an orange slab.

Grapple with the roof, follow the flake to the finishing slab.

Sustained and varied climbing. Start as for Charm Offensive, at the 3rd bolt take the left rising traverse and on through the steep bulges to anchors.

bridge wall and large detached flake, swing onto wall and good move getting your high off under cling, crux at three quarter height of sharp crimps

Another good wall slightly shorter so you wont get so pumped or will you?

Fourth bolt a little dumbly placed but it protects the hard stuff above. The climb is essentially five sections of grade 20 with a little slappy bit of 22 makes for a reasonably sustained route. Worth one more grade than Stairway.

Start: Third line of bolts to the left of the arch.

The best 24 in all 'Nowra'. Stella Bella. Apparently a hold has broken at the start making this quite a bit harder. Grade undetermined.

Start as for GCR, but where GCR goes right to anchors continue directly up the steep orange tube. Finally step onto headwall and up on jugs up the anchors.

A fun little route that you do more for the moves and the great little holds than the mountain wilderness experience, hence the close bolts.

Start: As for Short Black on the really great orange rock.

hurly burly go the underclings!!

Shared start with SM. Thin bouldery start then straight up steepening wall trending right near the top. Take optional braket for the carrot. 24 in the guide, which feels about right !

Easy lower moves, stop suddenly to a crimpy layback pump fest

Great junk of orange rock to start and an easy slab finish. A direct start to Rita. Possibly a little gay at 24 but at least as hard as STG.

Start: Two meters right of 'Mouche Pique' at the orange undercut under diagonal thin crack.

A great climb with the crux down low, that should get more ascents.

Start: Right of orange stripe that leads to cave.

Jug hauling interupted by the burly break move.

Start: Between Trad Dads start and 'Dodecahedron' from the boulder.

Very nice two pitch climb a slab grade 12 at the bottom with a stunning 14 metres of grade 24 at the top

Steep orange face that's dry in any weather, and overhangs about 3m. Steeply through start to big white pocket, then screw your finger into the dubious mono. Come back in two months after finger has healed and pull the move again with success. Finish through roof. Superb rock quality.

Start at the two pockets (eyes) towards the left end of the wall. A great fun route, technical and pumpy climbing.

The crack/layback feature you arrive at when approaching the wall. Sustained and varied climbing up a great line.

Pumper! Follow the obvious features to the 5th bolt, then traverse right to the arete and up to DRB's. (Stick clip the first bolt).

Up the thin dark wall. No hard moves, just sustained from start to finish.

The brown streak a few meters left of the main corner. Climb onto the sloping ledge then up the gently overhanging face.

Great sustained climbing up a nice line. Takes the right leaning crack/seam to anchors under the block.

Climb the slab to a reachy clip (possibly aided with a short rope) through pockets to overhang and top of cliff.

Thin and sequency under vertical finger shredding with a lot of small edges and micro foot holds. Start at the first bolt left of the crack of SMBI21. Bouldery start to gain the ledge on the left. From the ledge head straight up the line of bolts to the ledge in the middle of the wall and a pair of lower off anchors. Near the top it is permitted to go right to the arete then up onto the ledge, but it really doesn't matter by then.

Climb start of Where Am I for 3 bolts then traverse left into Dream Trader.

Hard campus start mounting undercut, then thin moves to bigger pockets. Head right up tasty orange slots to arete. For the full tick climb past the anchors using sneaky knee-bar to higher hold on arete (anchor should have been here). Backjump to anchor.

Start: Starts 2m right of 'Pocket Rocket'

Easiest way up the mega pocketed wall - but still no cakewalk. Starts as for When the Wind Blows for two bolts then right past three bolts to join into Pocket Rocket for one bolt then finish out left through orange scoops and reachy finish bulge. Magnificent white undercling pockets as usual.

Amazing limestone like pockets makes for some very cool climbing. Start left of hanging garden. Juggy steep start rightwards to sequency magic pockets. After these crank bulge then final pumpy headwall on large pockets and crimps. Amazing all the way.

A tough little number. Reachy pockets to big break. Crimp through crux bulge to awesome pocketed headwall.

Delicate start up flake/pockets/crimps. Slab move to break. Over bulge & left to ramble up headwall. Five foot flyer to finish !

Starts off block at left hand end of wall, follow right trending bolts to arete, hoick yourself over bulge and finish up headwall.

Battle up the undercling flake, bust thru the crimpy rooves, and up the head wall. Classic !

First bolt of 'Hill Stole My Route', then right and up bigger but steeper pockets. Single giant U lower-off.

stick clip first bolt, then climbs pockets to roof, thug your way up that to crux around bulge..

Start: Same as 'Beam Me Up Scotty (Direct Start)' then rightwards and up the pumpy wall.

Up the tricky arete.

Start: About 3m left of corner at 'Arete'

First route on left of wall.

Start 1m right of Zis is KAOS. Thin and technical climbing with a burly finish.

Start up the boulder to clip first bolt then jump on wall and blast out through the roof. Back jump roof to clean. Be careful of suss flakes in roof. Originally graded 25, but most now consider it more like 23/24.

2m right of VTPoT. Up on little pockets. Climbs right of the last bolt....

Start in the middle of the grey wall. A bouldery sequence leads to sustained climbing which relents at half height to a pleasurable jaunt above.

Off belay ledge the Right hand line of bolts nearly straight up, climbs the large flake and up thru the roof

Ridiculous steepness. The middle corner section seeps after rain, but can be mostly avoided by stemming, Stick-clip very high ringbolt and batman up to it. Tricky move up onto slab, then easy jugs up vertical wall to right edge of massive roof. Negotiate past green slime corner, then swing left and out massive roof on amazing horns to lip. Tough move over this then up overhung grey wall for even more pump. Cleaning this route involves either a willing second or a combo or re-threading and back-jumping.

Up HR via the side pull , then move right under rooflet. Tricky move passing the roof then easy wall above.

Follow the juggy flake as for 3D Disco to a rest just bellow the roof. Move off through the roof, left of the major corner, following the lower flake, then moving out and up the head wall. The quality of the rock on this route is crazy cool!

same start as for SM then breaks off to the right about half way up, following the orange flake and up through the crack along the small roof, then moving to the top trending right.

Takes the seam up the overhanging rusty wall 2 m right of the crack. Interesting and sustained climbing with a feisty layback finish.

Same belay as Struggle Street. The left hand route just right of the hanging arete.

Start as for Moral Compass,then step left at the second bolt. Thought provoking and sustained climbing to gain the foot ledges with a final tricky move before the cruise to the top.

Don't let the batman start put you off as the climbing is both exciting and technical. Start under the hanging corner/seam next to a small spotted gum. You'll need Batman's assistance and sports a couple of rungs to assist. Layback and bridge the steep corner/seam to the roof, launch right to the jugs, then on to the easier exposed arete to the anchors.

The right hand of two white streaks that leads to a ramp. Stand on the cairn to get a start. Start off a little vegetated ledge. The sustained crux with an interesting sequence relents half way up to an engaging and awkward top section.

Starts up 'AGBF', continue leftwards to overlap. Over and up to 2m roof flake, out and up to anchors way out up high!

3 - 1 - 2

Up AGBF passed the anchour then continue up through the small roof to the obvious crack. Get high into it and finish up the jugs.

Starts at ground level off ledge. Up corner to great polished rock on vague arete, thin, technical moves up to roof and rightwards, up wall to anchors.

Start up short corner and move right to small ledge and double bolts. Either belay here, or just keep climbing. The orange thin wall on shallow pockets and slimpers to rooflet. Big move over this to huge pocket and finish swinging through the roof above. Currently there is lots of bolts in the crux section, the remains of Rod's original badly placed bolts and Neil's new bolts. Half of them will be removed shortly.

Insert your young rods in the opening pockets, crank through the roof using mono and pebble to big pocket. Up the subtle arete feature then join into Pockets of Yttrium for last two bolts. Super quality rock the whole way.

Start at arete at per TT, then up leftwards on micro crimps to break. Heave onto wall and up to anchors.

Starts at the crack/corner 4m left of Easy Pickings, under the overhang. An awkward start followed by a rest. Up to the roof then punch out right and on to jugs and an easy wall.

Starts at the crack right of Strong, Silent Type. Punchy first moves to jugs. Relax here then crimp and balance your way to the chains.

Start: 2 mtrs right of "August Night" and punch up thru the bulge

Punchy climbing all the way

Start: Same as Blind mice but trends slightly right to hard mantle, anchors set back over the top

Like lifting mini bar fridges
