Exciting neo-classic. Climbed last pitch in the dark.

Fun, except for the tricky start on the second pitch (it's not kind to short people).

Fantastic! hard to find bolts so be imaginative with gear. Some hardish moves but perfect for the grade. Hot climbign in warm weather.

	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Buona	Jim Croft	Sab 10 Feb 2007
With David Eckstein, alternate pitches, I failed to start the second pitch in the right place and ended up doing a pitch to the left behind the belay and finished it at the top of the last rappel station. we then traversed right to the correct belay.

Could be called a sport route or a bushwalk. Might be better at night.

An adventurous outing in a beautiful location, but the rock wasn't great and the climbing was average. We had fun, but won't be rushing back for a second ascent.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classica	James	Gio 3 Gen 2013
Led all the pitches, sharing a rack with Sam in two groups of two. Climbed with Blair and Nick. Great day out. Not chossy. great belays, awesome views.

How do people write off this route? Is 150m of blazing jugs not good enough for you?! 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th pitches all fantastic. Mostly clean and solid.

Led Pitches 2 & 4, Quentin led 1 & 3, then diverted onto Great Rum Beer Chimney as slower party was in front of us. Great climb, would happily do again to get the last two pitches in as well. Great easy all day climb.

Pitch 5 easily the best - seemingly the only section of real climbing

A nice day out with excellent views across the Grose Valley. The under-cut start to pitch 2 seems harder than a 13.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Buona	Sam May	Sab 7 Feb 2015
Less interesting the second time round. A good one to take your canyoner/bushwalker mate on though. Not getting the ropes stuck on the abseils and rope drag are the cruxes.

A fun big day out. Allow plenty of time for the hour and a bit walk in, 3 abseils, the climb and walk back out. Bring at least 10 bolt plates and set of cams from .3-3.

My introduction to big-wall, multipitch climbing. The date was more characterised by fear than exhilaration: we didn't exchange numbers, and I don't know that we'll be seeing each other again...
	13	★★ Tom Thumb - con Angi Kim	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Buona	Stephen 'scuba' Ayling	Lun 25 Apr 2016
Injury = ticking some easy classics of the list. Completed in 3 pitches using little or none of the carrots (and without trad) P1/p2 - used 3 carrots (big rope drag) P3/p4 - soloed P5/p6 - used 4 carrots (big rope drag) Get a great view of the valley and the money climb 'The Wind Cries Mary GR20' (Next on the list)

Nice day out on a sunny winters day. First move on P2 a bit stiff, otherwise easy fun. Hard to avoid rope drag, and super sharp ironstone edges shreddded the sheath of my skinny rope - bring your beefy old beater.

Finding the beginning of the climb is a touch difficult. There is a buttress out on which the anchors are--it helps to know exactly what this looks before setting off. Researching this and the walk in as much as possible helps--we did and still added 30 minutes due to getting lost. The abseils are good. I was thinking of a 150m vertical abseil, so looking out over the ledge each time was reassuring. It's more like a slope which is broken with dirt, rock/scrub horizontals, so that the one abseil pitch is like 15m, 25m and then 10m. It can be quite difficult to avoid vegetation and tree branches, and also knocking off rock. Helmets are required on those below, and they should be conscious of where they are standing and where the abseiler is. The climbing is easy. The major difficulty is route finding - and by route finding is to say finding the bolts. My friend lead this and then I'd find carrots that he missed and then the climber after me would also find missed carrots. It is so juggy, when you look up it's not a vertical wall that you can follow the bolts - some parts its just when you're right in front of it - not below it or above it or to the side. Gear - whether cams - does not place. For me as my first multi-pitch, as a seconder it was awesome. The climbing is good, no worries, i think even anxious climbers would be fine. My lead climber did not mind some mammoth run outs on due to missed carrots. Leading it for this reason does require a good head and a lot of people would not mind long run outs on grade 12 - but if you do, the exposure would make this unpleasant. The start of the 2nd pitch is not a grade 12. The climb starts 1.2m off the grade--the ledge is a cave, getting the feet onto this lip is a seriously hard move--on a single pitch climb there would be a pile of rocks at the bottom for this first move. Finding the bolts on the 4th pitch was extremely difficult. This is a grade 8. I wasn't leading, but the basically the guide said you start up to the right, then move left and straight up. The leader did, and then could not see a single bolt, anywhere, moving around. If there were markers of where the bolts were leading this would be jolly good fun. As my first multi-pitch, I have rated this as a mega classic for the grade (13). A sport 150m multi-pitch in a UNESCO Heritage Listed National Park, an abseil down into the Grose Valley, the stunning nature of the walk in--there would be nothing remotely like this for its grade elsewhere in Australia, and the fact that it is so good, I honestly don't know what more could be expected.

Very pleasant day out, great belay ledges, somehow forgot bolt plates which made things a bit more interesting...

nice little trad-venture. massive walk-in (1hr!). from the carpark, walk to gate and down onto the fortress ridge walking track (clear track; no bushbashing) for about 1hr. you'll reach a massive rock outcrop on your left, look for a cairn and turn left onto a track here. go down the obvious track and you'll eventually (~10min?) reach the abseil chains. 3 abseils. bring 2 ropes for this. gear used: 1 standard set of nuts, 1 set of cams from #0.3 through to #3 camalots (do not bring more gear), 8-10 bolt plates. beginning of the climb is clearly marked with large 'TT' in chalk. pitch 1: once you reach the top of the bulge and clip the first bolt plate, look very carefully to find the other carrot - it is ~50cm behind it (both are at ground level). belay from here. pitch 2: starts with a fun boulder move. easy if you are flexible enough to get a high right toe or heel. was able to place a #4 camalot but not worth the size/weight as there is a bolt nearby. once you move right after the bolt, i could not fit a size #0.3 in the horizontal crack so used a yellow(#5) bd nut instead. pitch 3: really short pitch. you'll reach 1 carrot bolt and need to build a trad belay to back it up. i used a #0.4 silver camalot and a yellow(#5) bd nut. pitch 4: basically all on carrot bolts so grab all the plates. pitch 5: basically all on carrot bolts so grab all the plates. i only found 1 placement (#1 red camalot). total sport pitch. pitch 6: few bolts here but lots of cam placements available if you prefer. walk back out the same way you came in. too much walking vs climbing time imo. but a good trad/mixed multi for a beginner. total climb time was ~3h45m

Long, isolated but boring. The climb follows no real line, just meanders up a generic piece of rock. Could be worth taking beginners to for their first long climb if it wasn't such a faff.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb - con Harley Von	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Molto buona	Tim gayton	Ven 25 Mag 2018
Beautiful view and great exposure. The walk in and out is all part of the adventure. It’s a very easy climb but good to blow the cobwebs out if you haven’t climbed in a while. Would highly recommend if you were taking a beginner. It’s a mix of a scramble and a climb.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Molto buona	SiGuy86	Sab 14 Lug 2018
Fun adventure, a great day out. Pitch 5 was the best. The first rap in was commiting.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classica	Geoff Cooper	Dom 25 Nov 2018
Great climb in a really exposed environment. We got a little lost so directions are as follows: 700m take right fork onto fire trail 800m take left fork onto smaller track Follow track for 2km until you reach the top of the upper Fortress wall Take the right hand fork down to the back of this ridge (western side) for 200m Turn left at small cairn Follow path under upper cliff line for 80m then zig zag down for 40m to chains We took around 1:15 to walk the ~4km. My advice for attempting this climb: Avoid windy days. We were lucky to have no dramas on the 3 abseils, but the wind picked up whilst climbing. Bring a whistle to help with communication. Bring a headtorch and start early if climbing outside of daylight savings. I used 3 litres of water. Single rack of cams (#0.3 to #3) with no doubles. Single rack of wires and no hexes. Wear a helmet. The rock quality was reasonably good however there is a lot of ironstone that could break off. We used 2 beefy ropes and clipped alternatively to avoid rope drag. Pitch 1 - led by Geoff Pitch 2 - led by Ben Pitch 3 - led by Geoff Pitch 4 - led by Geoff Pitch 5 - led by Ben Pitch 6 - led by Ben

Fun day out, overall ok climbing. Can be climbed as runout sport if you're happy to belay off one carrot on the second pitch.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Molto buona	Joel Ovington	Sab 27 Apr 2019
Good day out and adventurous for the grade. Good mix of natural pro and carrots where needed (if you can find them)
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classica	Geoff Cooper	Sab 1 Giu 2019
Another great day on this classic. Led all pitches, but accidentally linked P3 and P4. Just enough rope (60m) but quite tough rope drag. I thought winter would be a challenge with the shorter daylight, but it worked out perfectly. No wind (critical) and cloud cover which made for very pleasant climbing. Our timing with a party of 3 was as follows: 8:15 - 9:15 hike in 9:15 - 11:00 gear up and 3 abseils 11:00 - 2:30 climb up 2:30 - 3:00 late lunch and pack up 3:00 - 4:15 hike out. 8hrs car to car. The abseils soak up quite some time with all the flaking and rope tangling in trees (with Vanessa and Karen)

A fun, easy climb. Lots of protection (some unnecessary). Saw a brown snake hanging around at the bottom of the first pitch. Guide book says the start is marked by a cairn. Didn’t find cairn but someone has marked the rock with a big ‘TT’ .
	13	★★ Tom Thumb - con Anne Weckert	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classica	Chris Bennetts-Cash	Sab 21 Mar 2020
Swung pitches with Anne. She chose evens and got all the long pitches Access has had some impact in the fires but the route is untouched.
	13	★★ Tom Thumb	Trad mista 170m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classica	Geoff Cooper	Dom 3 Mag 2020
Led P2, P4, P6. Great day and perfect weather. Just needed to get an early start at 8am at the carpark, returning at 5pm (with Slava)

A scramble more than anything but to be expected for the grade. The Abseil points were pretty clear. Ended up doing it in a 4 pitches with a bit of rope drag.

Mega windy day so plans changed from Margarine Ridge to Tom Thumb. First abseil was tough in the wind, but the route felt relatively sheltered once we got on it. It presented a nice mix of easy climbing in a great location. Having a rack of a few cams and nuts meant I felt the climb was well protected on the first and second pitches where there were less bolts/carrots around.

Easy climbing, hardest part is route finding. Some of the carrots are hidden amongst chossy iron stone. Climb isn’t direct rather it wonders around the face.

Pleasant climb with dave and Jarrah. The approach is amazing walking along fortress ridge. Climbing was very easy but route finding was difficult in sections with two of the pitches zig zagging a lot. Definitely would like to go back to this spot and climb the wind cries Mary!

Finally ticked it off! Very consistent for the grade. Started at 7 and took us 10 hours car to car but that was probably due to having a coffee while enjoying the view for 20 mins before we rapped in. Rope drag on 2nd and 4th pitch were tolerable. Carrots were difficult to locate so ran it out in a few places which wasn't anything to worry about considering how easy the climb is. Take a few short slings as cam and nut placements may not be available when you want them or may not appear to be of a trusting quality. Had a piece of iron stone ledge brake off in my hand while leading the final pitch. If you start this climb late ensure you bring sun protection.

We did our best to start late and make this a true epic (but also ignore the coordinates on the crag they are wrong!) Enjoyed the adventurous route-finding and the odd bomber placement. It was difficult to spot all the carrots in the dark and amongst the juggy ironstone, I can't imagine why... Used double ropes (50+70m worked fine), 9 bolt plates and a rack to #3. Do it in daylight to get more views!

Did it as a group of three. Carrots were super hard to find which led to some big runouts. If done again, wouldn't bring as much trad gear. Had multiple holds break off on us so be careful and definitely bring helmets

The raps sucked a fair bit of time. I led every pitch and it took a few to get our systems dialled after having some time off trad/ multis. Beautiful winters day, low winds yet cool. Had to hustle to finish the last pitch by sunset, hiked out in the dark. 10.5 hrs car to car.

A great outing with a bit of everything. Probably best done on a cool day with early start. Well protected with seemingly new bolts although still need gear to protect when starting off from some belays. Use twin/double ropes if you intend falling or swinging around as there are lots of edges. I love a good hex placement...

Extremely windy day. Brought static for first abseil to avoid pulling ropes and getting them stuck. Retreived the abseil rope at the end of the day. Led P1,2,3,4,6

A very good climb. Extremely windy on the day. Spent plenty of of time on abseil untying the ropes. The climb itself its a solid alpine adventure.

Rope got stuck on a ledge on first abseil. Walked across to belay and did pitch 5 and 6 only. Good to know this is possible without being stranded on the ledge

Good adventure, very comfortable cruisy climbing. Should've trimmed the rack a bit for the sake of the approach, only needed 4 pieces (mid sized cams and a nut).

Bit on a epic on this one, ended up rapping to the wrong ledge and spending 2 hours trying to find the climb 🙃 Ended up finding the climb somewhere on pitch three and climbed from there

Made the rookie mistake of not rapping far enough on the 3rd abseil. Had an adventure trying to find the climb Quite a bit of suspect rock to watch out for. 90 degree bolt plates work better on the larger carrots

Nice easy multi with Adam and Jack. Didn’t use much of the trad rack; think I only used a #2, #0.5 (but a 0.4# also fits) and a Bd 7 stopper. A few big run outs, take looong draws and alpine draws. 7hr 20mins party of 3; first time for all

Views from the Fortress are always great! The climbing is alright. Not much gear needed. Although you could insist on climbing it more traditionally and eschew some of the carrots... which I ended up doing just to make it more interesting.

Fun day out. Super easy cruisy but sparse gear leads to long runouts which could make for a scary time if you were less experienced on lead. Hard to fall tho! First abseil was fun, bit of exposure.

Bolts are more for guidance than protection. Definitely felt like I was soloing for most of this climb as falling would have been a bad idea. probably only placed 4-5 pieces of gear on the whole climb as there aren't many options. rock is super choss so test everything before you commit
