Nodi in Wave Wall

This mighty impressive wall contains a great range of quality routes at all grades in the 20s. Gets sun from about 2-3pm.

Routes are described right to left, which is the order that you get to them from the walk in.

The easiest warm-up here abouts, and the third most popular route in all of NSW. Considered solid at the grade.

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.

One of the popular classics of the grade. Ringbolts and chalk show the way. All good fun. Lower-offs added 2004 and replaced 2021. This route originally went to a set of chains a couple of metres above the lower offs. The chains are still there. Was grade 26 but was chipped some time after the first ascent.

Extension to Rubber Lover. From the anchors head up and left (runout) to the anchors of Microwave keeping away from the top of the cliff.

Another Wave Wall classic. Was 28 until a combination of lightning and Justin Clark removed some holds.

Start as for Microwave, head steadily left across Point Break and Tugboat and finish as for Tsunami (not Tugboat). Monique

3m L of Microwave. Independent climbing to halfway then join Microwave just below its flake.

Start up Tug Boat then move R into Point Break/Microwave. Roman

Start as for Birthday Salmon and truck up direct-like to join Staring at the Sea at the rest hole. From there bust straight up through the boulder problem that earns you the grade without stepping left into Tsunami!! Chug out the roof and finish at the top.

Was once one of the hardest routes in the Blue Mountains, and one of Mark's finest hours. Now a popular testpiece. Start in the middle of the wall. Stick clipping the first bolt is strongly recommended. WARNING: the fixed clip-n-go biners at the top are the dodgy cast ones which can snap. Inspect them for cracks, clip both, and if in doubt thread something else. Leah

Radness start to Tsunami. Start just right of Tsunami / Smoked Mussels, and boulder your way into Tsunami at the 3rd bolt.

Stick clip. Up to 2nd bolt of Tsunami then head left and up past 2 more. Good bouldery moves the whole way.

Start as for SM and climb it until just before the lob to the break and bust left and up to enter Sea Air crux.

Short, sharp with some hard to clip bolts. (Has been upgraded after a hold broke off.) chris

Rebolted 2004.

One bolt extension of Jaqueline Hyde.

Really good fun sport climbing with plenty of jugs in the roof. Very popular.

Punchy crimping to ledge then steep and tricky. Start just L of SW.

The least popular route on the wall. Dawdle up steep start to large ledge. Boulder out steepness above (lots of close together bolts) to - no anchor? Backjump. Bolts on this route are not recessed and potentially bad.

A fun warmup with a sting in the tail. Left trending line with a couple of restful ledges to break up the action. Old spinning bolts replaced 2018.

The groovy traverse on the far left side of Wave Wall. Good name.

Start about 15m L of The Tube.
