24 | ★★ Junket Pumper
A bit of a classic. Used to have a few enhanced holds that were later cemented in - not that the grade changed at all. Start under the line with the biggest holds, just right of the sawn log. FA: M. Stacey & J. Smoothy, 1988 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Jaqueline Hyde
Rebolted 2004. FA: J. Smoothy, 1992 | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Betty Blue
A very appealing wall. One of the most enjoyable routes at its grade in 'Nowra'. Start: Start a few meters right of 'Black Beddy'. FA: Ant Prehn & Giles Bradbury, 1991 | 20m, 6 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Good Big Dog
Apparently a soft tick! FA: S.Butler, 1992 | 22m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ The Tube
The groovy traverse on the far left side of Wave Wall. Good name. FA: K. Klein & W. Payton, 1992 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Black Heathen
One of the Blue Mtns best at the grade - deservedly popular. Steep climbing on mostly big holds (and occasionally big reaches). Marked with a big white painted B at the start, towards the R end of the access ledge. Finish at the first set of anchors. Be an attentive belayer for the first couple of bolts. FA: M.Law, 1992 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Guillotine
The first pitch is perhaps the best easy sport route on the wall, and the second pitch is even better!! Link them together and you have one of the best pitches at the grade in the Blueys (needs a 70m+ rope, 23 draws, and a re-thread at the first belay when lowering off). The route name comes from the frightening flake that fell off when Neil was bolting the first pitch - which is now embedded in the ground at the base. Historically this route has a murky past - the first pitch had a couple of poorly placed rings in already, that Neil pulled out with his fingers (!), whilst the 2nd pitch had been half bolted with carrots by Giles Bradbury in the 90s but then abandoned. Starts 4m left of Ben Trovato at small tree.
FA: Heath Black, 2010 FA: P1 Neil Monteith & P2 Chris Coghill, 2010 | 48m, 2, 23 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Wet Paint
The first route at Bell Supercrag! Up the open corner for 2 bolts then head rightish. Reachy and committing moves. Classic. FA: Lloyd, 2006 | 16m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ La La Land
Is a favourite for aspiring 24 leaders. The central, very chalked line of the three. FA: S.Moon, 2000 | 20m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Ratcat
A good route through thin ground straight up the wall. Start as for Ruddy Norry but take the middle line of bolts up the sustained face. FA: S.Johns, 1992 | 14m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Language of Desire
The original classic here. It's easy to get off route with four routes branching from the same start. This is the only one to finish up the headwall on FHs. A medium cam between bolt 6 and 7 is helpful (BD #1). The right anchor staple is quite worn and could do with replacement. FA: M. Scheel & C. Martin, 1985 | 28m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Pale Yellow Underwear
FA: Dave Filan, 1992 | 10m, 5 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★★ Pluck-a-Duck
Superb wall and steep headwall, the last mantle move could be a heart breaker. One of the best 24's at Bell !! FA: Andrew Duckworth, 2011 | 22m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman
Start on the elevated block 10m R of the HOY arête. Trend a bit left off the block then up the face via desperate slab crux to the middle of the big, but easy, roof. FA: M.Law, 1997 | 15m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Pallets of Pies
Steep and bouldery through the roof. Fun jugging. Start directly below first bolt and blast over bulge via undercling. FA: C.Peisker, 1985 | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★ Survival Day
Start just right of Thumbs Down on sandy shelf. Right trending wall to big horizontal break. Swing across this then lean back and reach the big jug over the lip. Up featured wall above. Might be grade 23, especially if you are tall. FA: Neil Monteith, 2012 | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Rhubarb Crumble
Undercut start onto slightly overhanging wall past mantle trending left to anchors. Some prefer to stick clip the second bolt. FA: Lloyd Wishart, 2006 | 15m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Zimbabalooba
Possibly the best route on the wall. Not too cruxy, and long enough to get a good pump. FA: Rod Young, 1998 | 20m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★★ Butterfly Wall Direct
A beautiful route on great rock. Start: 5 meters right of the corner - directly below the obvious butterfly feature high on the wall. FFA: Daniel Elton, 1993 | 20m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Sydney Rose
Steep power packet. All rings to lower offs. FA: J.Smoothy, 1989 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||

1.5m right of Jack High. Up slab to anchors on ledge, but keep going up the big L-facing corner up high. FA: J.Smoothy, C.Peisker & S.Moon, 1985 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Wham Bam Thankyou Maam
FA: Paul Westwood, 1993 | 8m, 4 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Driven
Some funky moves and a great example of Bundy's creative vision to squeeze in another route! Up groove behind small tree. Swing through the roof and onto the face. Left, up and then back to the right crossing Middle Finger and on to orange headwall. FA: Jason Lammers, 2012 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Ten No Trumps
Head left and up. Hard move at 4th bolt. Then nice big moves to top. Lower-offs added 25/04/2018. FA: Megan Turnbull, 2007 | 16m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★ The Warm Up
Start matched on the ledge on the left side of the wall, and head straight up. Harder if you do the very low undercling move to start. FA: Duncan Brown | 3m | Queanbeyan area | ||
V4 | ★★ The Bilge
Start on flake then pocket and up to slot and mantle over. Start: Sit FA: Will Holbrook | 3m | The Balkans | ||
24 | ★★★ How Much Can A Koala Bear?
Ricky put some new bolts in. Classic !! Not too hard for a Nowra 4 FA: Ant Prehn & Alex Simon, 1989 | 25m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★★ Lean Beef
Some of the best rock in Sydney. 6 rings crossing wall from right to left - then big move up final wall to double RB Lower off. Very reachy - or dynoy. There is a large loose block at the last bolt - take care. Bolted from mixed trad to sport by CT FA: Mike Law 1990s | 15m, 6 | Bonnet Bay | ||
24 | ★★ There Goes The Neighourhood
FA: Andrew Bull, 1992 | 9m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★★ Gas Krankinstation
Start at the right hand end of the cave, there is a carrot here to belay from. Jug traverse through the roof. Keep going, no hard moves, just pumpy. FA: Stefan Eberhard, 1993 | 10m, 7 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Body Blow
In the middle of crag. Up wall and out the roof on flakes etc before heading rightwards to finish. The climb now has permadraws and only needs quick draws for the 1st, last and anchor bolts. This is like overhung gym climbing at Bell. FFA: lloyd wishart, 2012 | 12m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Snappy Dresser
Start up the flake, and up to tricky headwall. Good !! FA: Lloyd Wishart, 2007 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★ Iona
Finally, a distinguishable feature to help you locate the routes. The right side of the main wall has a roof, and the left end of the roof is a fat hanging flake. Start under this flake. At the top, scamper left and lower from Madge's anchor. FA: J.Smoothy & G.Bradbury, 1988 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Goosebumps
5m right of Chicken Skin. Popular. Thugging and zig-zagging through steep stuff. Back-jump to clean. FA: Grant Colville, 2006 | 10m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Dead Calm
Stand start on big undercling on the far left of the roof. Climb rightward to top out on the nice sidepull feature. Tsz Ying Yau | 3m | Black Cave | ||
24 | ★★ A Most Profligate Sinner
The middle line, 5m R. Originally 22, but has crept up as thrutch skills have crept down. FA: M Warren, 2010 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Surprise Package
Bouldery start to awesome finale. FA: J.Clark, 1996 | 17m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||

Sit start on the big jug. Move right via crimps to the rail, then big move to the huecos. Move upward to finish. FA: Unknown, 2000 | 4m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★★ Vertical Dementia
One of the best and most sustained of the grade in the mountains. Nothing too cruxy, but relentless climbing that will keep you honest all the way to the anchors. FA: J.Kurko, 1996 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Funky Monkey
Easily the easiest route here. The warm up... if you're a pumper. Jug along with glee. FA: C.Coghill, 2003 | 14m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ Brain Drain
How you feel after inputting the data into the online guide. The main and best warm up at the crag. Some of the best rock at main wall, guaranteed to raise a solid pump. It's supposed to start up the blunt arête but most people stay a bit left on the juggy flake of Desafinado. FFA: Megan Turnbull | 20m, 11 | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Diplomatic Immunity
Sit start low in the chalked break on jugs then into the vertical seam, contort yourself (unless short) then up and slightly left to top out. FA: Rob Saunders | 3m | The Balkans | ||
24 | ★★★ Belgian Tourists
24 surely? FA: Graeme Hill & Veronique Hill, 1989 | 21m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Troc de l’Ile
Climbs to the half-way ledge via some huge pockets and a couple of not so huge crimps. Can be used as an alternative start to Searching for the Light Extension FA: Megan Turnbull, 2012 | 15m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Shore Break
Punchy crimping to ledge then steep and tricky. Start just L of SW. FA: W. Payton, 1992 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Red Demon
The warm up if you aren't a pumper. The most popular route here. Good climbing! FA: C.Coghill, 2004 | 14m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Voice of America
Steep climbing straight up the guts of the cave on shiny new RBs to anchors. Bold cruxy climbing in an awesome location. Back Jump to clean (beware the wall behind you). Rebolted 2008 Ramset 101. FA: J Smoothy, 2000 | 20m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Meat Mallet
Start as for SWALK, then veer right. FA: M.Stacey, 1993 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★ Cave Route
At the right hand end of the cave just before Turkey Slap. A few jumpy jumps on some nice jugs will take you to the top. FA: E Rutherford, 2006 | 10m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ The Junkyard Dog
Absolute classic steep climbing on Grampians quality rock. Slabby scoop then up seam crack to stance. Swing right on incredible jugs then back left on more jugs to anchor. This is a shared start with 3 other routes so get it dial. FA: Matt Brooks, 2012 | 17m | The Woolwash | ||
24 | ★★ Girls In The Hood
Climbs the middle of the short overhanging wall just up and left of The Hood wall. Slick holds and a couple of punchy moves. FA: Tara Sutherland & Richard Watts, 1993 | 8m, 4 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ These Apples Must Be Jen's
Great, reasonably committing slabbing. Starts up the same crack feature as Nylon Happy but steps right almost immediately. Up past/into rooflet to interesting face above. FA: M. Baker, 1991 | 20m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★★ The Hustler
Now with permadraws from the roof to the top. But watch out for the just-too-short permadraw which pinches your rope hard against the sharpish main lip of the roof - BYO extender. This is an excellent option for rainy days - even if the Pocketed Wall is shut down by the spooge this route is unaffected. FA: Rod Young, 1999 | 28m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★ Fox Force Five
FA: M.Pircher, 1999 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Escape Velocity
Start in the corner as for the next two routes, then straight up and to the left of La La Land following the leftmost bolted line and finishing at anchors shared with LLL. FA: Stephen Hawkshaw, 2003 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Form One Lane
A few metres to the right of Language at the large boulder. Up trending left. FA: J.Smoothy, 1982 | 22m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Napalm Strike
Sustained and much better finish to 'The Day Before The Day After Tomorrow'. At triangle hold keep going straight up and left a little. Clean as, and all ticked up. Get on it !! Set: Graeme Hill FA: 28 9월 2018 | 18m | Stanwell Tops | ||
V4 | ★★ Burnt
Stand start the ledge. Straight up via slopey crimps. | 4m | Nowra | ||
24 | ★★ Cyrus The Virus | 15m, 8 | Elanora Heights | ||
24 | ★★ Work Injury
Fiendish thin slimp ladder. Start at chalky flake then up dark orange wall with forearms increasingly fading. FA: D.Taylor, 2005 | 15m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ Hide The Salami
From the ledge, pull onto the main face for a few crimpy moves then up past the slopey pockets to an exciting undercling finish! Start: Start on foot of pinnacle. 2m right of MTHF. Stick-clip first bolt. FA: Graham Fairbairn, 1992 | 10m | Nowra | ||
V4 | ★★ Foam
Start in the couple of pockets in the roof, explode out for the slope lip, up the prow and then continue on to finish - one of Sissy's highest problems. Classic! | 3m | Forestville | ||
V4 | ★★ Big Red One
Stand start on the jugs. Move right to the big flake then straight up. Slopey top, tough when warm! | 4m | Nowra | ||

Short roof to start the swing up to the wall on slopey jugs, varied climbing with a committing move up high. FFA: lloyd wishart, 2011 | 18m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Thy Mighty Right Hand
Power, reach and commitment! Sit start just right of the rounded arete on some angled ledges. Head up to the two good pockets mid way up the way. Get your feet high and power up to thy mighty right hand slap into the rounded scoop! Hold fast, trust it and topout! This problem loves the long but extra points for the short who conquer it. Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 FA: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 4m | East Killara | ||

Climb the overhanging arete on the right hand end of the chossy cave. Climbs well. FA: V Wills, 2007 | 12m, 4 | Glenrock Lagoon | ||

V4 | ★★ Dentalectomy
M1, L2, M2, L3, M3, L4, R5, M5. A classic. Harder for shorties. Worthwhile subtle variations at similar grade include (i) M1, L2, M2, L3, M3, L5, M5, and (ii) M1, L2, M2, L3, then LH to jug 50cm right of 5, and match. | 4m | Forestville | ||

Start 5m right of IS31 at ground level at the base of the ramp. Due for a rebolt as at 2023 - hopefully with many fewer. FA: M.Stacey, 1987 | 27m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Call a Lawyer
Start low and crimp left up the wall to a slopey and committing top out. | 3m | Jannali Reserve | ||

2m R of RAR. FA: A.Prehn & R.Young, 1983 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Kim's Arete
Choose your conditions; the slopers are far from positive and dry, cold conditions could make all the difference | 3m | Lindfield Rocks | ||
24 | ★★★ Axis of Evil
On left side of the narrow steep scooped wall. Up the scoop on jugs and fantastically solid rock to crimpy face, then continue to rest and launch through final bulge to anchor. Take care when cleaning in order to avoid swinging into boulder behind the belayer. Overhangs 5m in 18m! Crag Classic, a test piece for the grade in 'Nowra'. FA: Steve Hawkshaw, 2000 | 18m, 8 | Nowra | ||
24 | ★ The Disintegrator

24 | ★★★ Sanction of the Victim Extension
The crag classic and a must do. Don't be put off by the length and angle - it's all jugs! The top section is outrageous steep climbing up an airy prow on improbable jugs, past 6 more bolts (use extenders before, after and on the lower anchors). A prime source of drag for this pitch is bolts 4 and 5 (consider reaching down to unclip them as you ascend). Might be tough at the grade. FA: Paul Frothy Thomson, 26 3월 2017 | 35m, 19 | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Wall Crawler
Trend right to top out. | 3m | Jannali Reserve | ||
24 | ★★ Rain Maker
Start just right of EIEIO. Follow the chalk up through the jugs to finish at the giant U. If the moss above doesn't turn you off a good finish is to quest onwards to the Shark Pool anchors. Has been linked into Shark Pool at the 4th bolt ("Flake Maker", maybe adds a grade, FRA D. O'Donnell 2006). FA: J.Clark, 1996 | 18m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||

24 | ★★ Itinerate Immigrants
Shares some holds with Beef Cake so factor that in if someone’s already on BC. FA: S.Grkovic, 1999 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
V4 | ★★ Ralph's Arete
Easiest line up the arete, started using the incut pocket | 4m | Lindfield Rocks | ||

Hallelujah, I believe... undercling the big feature, then praise the lord and grab the good edge above. Phillip Booth | Mauricio Chino FA: Adam Griffiths | 4m | The Balkans | ||
V4 | ★★ Bedside Manner
A good long link-up, and the best of this little collection. Start: Start on the right hand of the scoop, traverse left and big move to topout. | 5m | Jessicca's | ||
24 | ★★ Sweet Charlotte
A great pocket pulling crux. Start 3m R of Vintage Direct, up thin walls and pull roof. All Ubolts now FA: Dave Barnes, 1994 | 15m, 6 | Alfords Point |
