AU:11 | ★★★ Agamemnon
A lovely cool chasm with a thrilling finish - a dramatic bridging sequence that is both run-out and exposed.
FA: Michael Stone & Ian Speedie, 1964 | 40m, 2 | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★ Lucifer
Climb into the cave then up around to the right. Then follow the ringbolts to the top. First bolt is quite high so be careful. FA: Sue Young & Catherine Eadie, 1994 | 15m | Nowra | ||

Named after the key that has "two sharp pitches". It is possible to escape from the first belay through the narrow cleft to the left between Piccolo Pipe and D Major Pipe. Start below the major line capped by a huge chockstone on the right wall of the D Major pipe.
FA: Bruce Hocking & Mike Stone, 1964 | 50m, 2 | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★★ Pedro
Start on the L side of the wall, beneath the dominant wide L-facing corner crack (or 2m L of it if you want an easier start). Up the line, tackling the final bulge whenever you're ready. FA: Mike Stone, Ted Batty & Peter Jackson, 1965 | 36m | Arapiles | ||

Start 10m L of Minstrel Pinnacle, at the easy crack just L of a perched block. Can be lead in one pitch at the same grade if you leave the crack and head diagonally R about 8m below the top of p1. However this increases the risk of a grounder on rope stretch when the second is on the crux start.
FA: Chris Baxter & Laurie Beesley, 1965 | 40m, 2 | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★★ Trapeze
Up the steep pillar to a bolt, then traverse left (crux), and finish up the easier climbing above. Start: At the pillar on the right side of the north face. FA: Russell Judge & Don Bennett, 1964 | 20m | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★★ Didgeridoo
Start as for Horn Piece on the Didgeridoo Pipe. Veers left from Horn Piece near the top, avoiding the bulging headwall. This climb originally started up a short crack up on the right side of the pipe but this is not much fun. Very sustained at the grade.

The first three pitches in particular offer superb climbing at the grade, while the final pitches provide an opportunity to explore those high balconies dominating the upper reaches of the cliff. The first two pitches are often combined. While the first part of the climb only spends a small amount of time in the chimney, some parties have mistakenly climbed the chimney in its entirety. This is not a club that you should aspire to join. Despite its enjoyable nature, there have been a number of serious injuries and a death on this climb. Here the start of the fourth pitch has been revised to reduce the danger of a long fall to the belay ledge.
FA: Bruce Hocking & Mike Stone, 1964 | 170m, 7 | Arapiles | ||
AU:10 | ★ Camelot
Slabby start right of Minimus then the corner-crack to the top. FA: Phillip Stranger | 13m | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★★★ Blockbuster
The easiest route to the summit of Bluff Major is pure class, providing delicate groove climbing in a grand position. FA: 1964 | 30m | Arapiles | ||
AU:10 | ★★ Mesa
Originally graded 6 via the ordinary chimney, and not highly rated. Now that the loose bits are gone, the start has been straightened out up the face off the boulder, and a lower-off has been added, this is one of the best easy grade routes in this part of Araps, with a wide variety of climbing. Start: Start off the top of the big boulder on the ledge. FA: Graham Squire & Clive Parker, 1966 | 33m | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★ Gum Tree Wall
A popular incut slab. It is not recommended that you lead this route if only climbing grade 11, however do not top-rope directly through the anchor bolts. These anchors are getting noticeably worn through, as a result of such improper top-rope setups. Start lower down, pull onto the wall and towards the right side of the face. Up the eroded front-face arete to the 1st bolt. On the last move to the LO's look for the right-hand under bolder hold. FA: Graeme Hill, Russell Chudleigh & T.Ogle | 10m, 4 | Mount Keira | ||
AU:10 | ★ Hesitation
SSGICs to top-out with 2 bolt belay. FA: J Boyton, 1994 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
AU:10 | ★★ Grey Arete
Narrow rib at the L end of the lower cliff. Follow arete and climb L into a large crack and then continue R up the pinnacle to a DRB belay (25m rap into R gully). | 32m | Camels Hump | ||
AU:11 | ★ Parson's Pleasure
A brilliant beginner's lead. Start at the obvious corner 3m R of EP. Up this line on excellent gear to the ledge. Rap chains are found here. Alternatively, you can keep going up the twin crack system at grade 15. FA: Mike Meadows & Chris Meadows, 1969 | 10m | Frog Buttress | ||
AU:10 | ★ SPQR
Inexplicably given 3 stars in previous guides. Start 1m R of Consul's arete. Up the R sloping crack then R up larger crack. FA: Bernie Lyons, Steve Craddock & Gary Lovejoy, 1971 | 13m | Werribee Gorge | ||
AU:11 | ★★ The Bishop
Start as for Revelations, Serpent, etc.
FA: Garry Sudholz & Rod Sutherland, 1967 | 50m, 2 | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★ Angular Crack
Blocky corner 3m left of TW. More popular as a rap line than a route, and probably rightly so. FA: B Ryan, E Saxby & G Boyd | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
AU:11 | ★ Sweet Chariot
Far superior to SPQR. Good jamming and interesting moves all the way up the nice corner. The corner crack 1m R of 'Death Gate'. FA: Norm Booth & Keith Lockwood, 1970 | 16m | Werribee Gorge | ||
AU:10 | ★★ Serpent
Fantastic climbing. There is a variant start to the left at the painted initial "S" but the way described is better. Start below right-hand line up the sombre cleft, right of the initial "S".

AU:11 | ★ Go Back To Switzerland
On the left side of the arete. Plenty of bolts. Plenty of jugs. Good beginner lead climb. FA: Stuart Sims, 1 Sept 2017 | 12m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
AU:11 | ★ Transylvania
Quite good. The abseil route comes down the first pitch so watch out for traffic and don't monopolise the bolt anchors if the area is busy. Start at a wide crack just left of the block leaning against the cliff.
FA: Keith Lockwood, Fiona Lockwood & Tim Lockwood, 1999 | 60m, 2, 1 | Arapiles | ||
AU:11 | ★ Play School
Start behind jacaranda tree, 3m L of 'Moonlight Dilemma'. Marked "COD" (for 'Cloak Of Darkness'). Up ramp to high FH. Move on past 2 more FHs and run it out a little up to DBB shared with 'Mantlit'. FA: Claudia Ferguson, Suzy Goldner & ross ferguson | 10m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||

Start 1m L of 'Diagonal'. Marked "SH". Now retrobolted as an easy beginner's lead. First bolt is easy to reach but high and move near the top is hard for the grade so more a lead for competent climbers learning to lead rather than outright beginners. 3 RBs to DBB.

A classic of the chimney style and a must do if you're into that sort of thing. The dark chimney to the left of DWHP. A challenging lead for the novice climber. Despite reputation the climb offers good placements the whole way. Make sure to extend gear below large block (crux) at half height followed by a run out section if you don't have a #6 cam or big bro. 30 meters to top out.

Santa Claus is coming down this chimney to find out who's naughty or nice.... a modern classic or an aquired taste, there's something for everyone in Rod Boner's glory hole. Careful of loose rock at the top of the chimney, there is no where for your belayer to run if you dislodge one. The horrific glue drips in the back of the chimney are from an attempt to stabilise the chockstone at the top. Take care. FFA: Rod Boner & Derk Shpangler, 26 Juin 2019 | 20m | Nowra | ||

Easy sport climb on the slab a couple meters right of stage right. Has a sign posted naming it and giving a grade of 5.8 -- but this climb is no harder than 5.5.

Start beneath the massive corner blasting up the start of the highest part of the wall. Bivy options: There are a few decent spots around the base. Big Grassy (which is not flat by any means) and the small flattish ledge 8m below are the most luxurious bivvy options on the route. The fixed hangers at the end of pitch 6 and The Gledhill Bivvy at the end of pitch 8 offer waterproof spots for a portaledge. Gledhill and Big Grassy also have hammock anchors.
