Lower Blue Mountains Glenbrook Gorge South-Eastern Wall | |||||
12 | ★ Jack Murphy's Climb
Broken system with corner, chimneys and crack, a proper 1956 adventure. "Probably the best climb in the gorge" quoth Bryden Allen in his 1963 guide, but Things Have Moved On, particularly the notion of what constitutes grade 12, so it's now probably 15. Start: At a pinch between boulders with the small brass Jack Murphy plaque -33.78141,150.63045. Route and pitches can be varied:
To escape, skirt the cliff heading west/north-west to find the anchors above The Venom (on a big, waterwashed ledge by the cliff edge -sometimes running with water). 1 x 50m rap gets you to the belay at the end of The Venom P1, and another 50m rap gets you back to ground-level. FA: R Kippax, D Roots & T McIntee, 1956 | 100m, 4 | |||
12 R | Higgins Effort
"The rock .. is appalling and the climb unpleasant in the extreme." [BA] Start: Just left of the scrubby line of recesses in the centre of the wall between "Jack Murphy's Climb" and Southern Cross.

Kings Tableland The Emu | |||||
12 | The King and I
This climb is a long way left of The Emu and was done by accident. It will be hard to find the start without a cliff sketch. Neither the less,the climb is reasonably direct going up a kind of natural gully for the first two pitches and then moving right into chimney/crack system that goes to the top. Pitches three onwards get harder and more exposed the higher you go. Access: Same as for The Emu, walk past The Dreaming and continue for several hundred metres until you reach the right gully of a big buttress. Start: At fist size crack and slabs.

12 R | Pawn's Leap
Not quite Sublime. Starts at right end of black dirty slab where the descent track flattens out to the shale ledge. Apparently an excellent hangover climb or relaxing afternoon, back in the day.
| 47m, 3 | |||
12 | ★ Defaecation
Line of least resistance through a world of seething choss. Start: Starts at chossy groove under big overhang 2m left of 'Choc Chip Chai'.

Appallingly chossy corner that joins into the first pitch of 'Defaecation' after the traverse. Start: Marked DDS. Starts 10m left of original route. | 15m | |||

Leura Mt Hay | |||||
12 | ★ Mount Hay canyon exit
Exit route used to get out of Butterbox Canyon that doubles as the access to the bottom for all of the climbing routes. One short (~12m) section of technical climbing (or an abseil when descending) that is massively overbolted. Stiff moves for the original grade (8) especially with a pack on and canyon gear. The traverse on a sketchy ledge that leads up to the climb has also been bolted. Bolts can be used to rig a traverse line. FA: Tom Williams, 1977 | 12m, 4 | |||
Leura The Fortress | |||||
12 | Grand Central Route
Verbatim description below from Bryden Allen † 's 1963 Rock Climbs of NSW. A magnificent climb up the centre of the face of great variety. Standard: Mild Severe. Start: There is some scrambling at the start and the climb is by no means easy to find. The diagram gives the rough area and it is a fairly obvious line of weakness. It is best approached high on the right.
