12 | ★ Date Anatomy
Start at the "DA" mark. Great beginner lead. Up arete following 4 RBs to DBB. FA: Marcus O'Mara, 1994 FFA: Kevin Coleman, ross ferguson & Gareth Llewellin, 2005 | 16m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
12 | ★ Jug City
This is the right side of the arete and is the best easy route at Dams Cliff with wonderful ironstone jugs. Carrots all the way to the top which requires a rappel or a walk-off...or very long extended top rope rigging. FA: J Boyton, 1994 | 15m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Witches Cauldron Pitch 1
Start marked 'WC'. A hundred ways to get up this twin cracked, 3 sided chimney! A better access pitch to 'Plume Ledge' than SAW. FA: Rick White & Chris Meadows, 1969 | 12m | Frog Buttress | ||
12 | ★ JAFKPR
Start 3m R of 'Gigolo'. Decent beginner climb, safely bolted. 4 RBs to chains. FFA: Steve Kloske & Paul Pagoldh, 2013 | 13m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
12 | ★★ Until Death Do Us Part
2 metres right of Mañana. Long, easy, and popular. FA: Cam O'Leary & Emma Newall, 12 2월 2018 | 25m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||

One of the best and most traveled easy routes in the mountains - great rock and exposure. Can be done as one big pitch with a couple of slings. Start on blocks at base of grey slab beneath Eyrie belay cave.
FA: J Worral & H Ward, 1969 | 45m, 2, 3 | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★★★ Apline
Nice climbing following an impressive and distinctive feature. Start: At the base of the obvious aplite dyke sweeping the cliff. | 70m | Freycinet National Park | ||
12 | ★★ Panzer
Start directly below the turret perching high above the right end of the face, just in front of a large boulder.

A climb which gets the heart going no matter if you're on lead or seconding, with the first pitch, by itself, being a great line! Start: There are two deep cracks at the base of the Watchtower. Start at the left-hand crack.
FA: Michael Stone, Ian Speedie & Garry Kerkin, 1965 | 110m, 4, 1 | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★ Balthazar
The curving corner just left of Boulder Bridge. FA: Iain Allan, John Griffiths & Terry Prime, 1971 | 13m | Morialta | ||
12 | ★ Sheoak Corner
Start: Start from the olive tree. Up the open corner. Great introductory route. FA: Mike Waite, Mike Ashton & Terry Prime, 1968 | 15m | Morialta | ||
12 | ★ Tie The Knot
Start on the face 2m right of 'Anthony's Arete'. Up for 2 bolts then step over the trench of 'Locris'. 4 more bolts to anchor. FA: Phil Aarons, 2014 | 18m, 6 | Camels Hump | ||

This is the original version. Dunes Direct (described separately) is now the usual way to go. Start up the L-facing corner of a huge flake leaning against the east face of the buttress (crawl through behind the flake from the right or scramble easily up from below).
FA: John Fahey & Peter Jackson, 1965 | 100m, 4 | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★ Tobin Brothers
The cleanest section of wall 10m right of 'Locris'. Retrobolted in 2016 at the request of the first ascensionist. Rap station descent. FA: James McIntosh & Melanie Taws, 1988 | 18m, 5 | Camels Hump | ||

A fine old classic whose grade seems to be gradually creeping up. Used to be grade 8 back in the day. Many variations are possible. Start at the chimney 7 metres right of Five Fingered Mary.
FA: Chris Baxter & Reg Williams, 1965 | 120m, 5 | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★ Something For Kate
A nice easy well protected climb for the beginners. The crux is getting established onto the wall just above the overlap at 1/3 height. 6RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Jason Atkinson / Ian Ezzy, 2002 | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ||
12 | ★ Orbital Tether
Start 2m L of 'Nebula'. Marked "OT". Climb straight up past 3 RBs to the DBB. Rebolted 2014. FA: Heinz Buscher, 2010 | 10m, 3 | Mt Ngungun | ||
12 | ★ De Blanc
Easy climbing up a nice corner with lots of gear placements. FA: Stan Manley, 1979 | 20m | Summerday Valley | ||
12 | ★ Bygone
The retrobolt eliminated serious fall potential, making this route a must for confident leaders at the grade ... but don't expect to be sewing it up with gear every metre. The southeast face of the Morfydd pinnacle faces the back of Fang Buttress. Start under this face. FA: Chris Dewhirst & Phillip Stranger, 1967 | 30m, 1 | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★★ Philosopher's Stone
Climb the face past 2RB's then traverse right along the ledge past 2RB's to the blunt arête, now up the chimney past RB. Step left across the void and up to anchors. 5RB's to 2RB anchor. Be careful not to climb too high in the chimney or you'll find yourself above the anchor. Start: Start in the middle of the small face on the left hand side of the buttress. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ||
12 | ★ Eye Bolt Route
Straight up centre of slab, 2m R of 'Twilight Groping'. 5 UBs to chains. | 10m, 5 | Waterworks Quarry | ||
12 | ★ Witches Cauldron Pitch 2
The way the route originally finished. Start on the L of Plume Ledge. A brutal grunt up the horribly tight body chimney directly above pitch 1. There is not a lot of gear but it doesn't matter as you are so stuck in this thing that it would be very hard to come out anyway! A must do for all aspiring guardians of Frog ethics! FA: Rick White & Chris Meadows, 1969 | 18m | Frog Buttress | ||
12 | ★ Ballyhoo
| 25m | Freycinet National Park | ||
12 | ★ Rover

RBs have replaced expansion bolts used previously! FA: J Boyton, 2000 | 18m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Persecution
Up the crack 2m Right of 'Execution' to broken blocks at the top. FA: Keith Lockwood & Chris Baxter, 1971 | 13m | Werribee Gorge | ||
12 | ★ Chuffed
Pleasant slab moves. 5 RB's to DBB. FA: Gavin Lyon, 2004 | 13m, 5 | New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||
12 | ★ Black Slab
| 18m, 6 | Mountain Quarry | ||
12 | ★ Dancing In The Rain

12 | ★★★ West Wall
| 290m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Iria
Double ring top rope anchors installed. Access cautiously from top. Tim Booth Another old trad route. Natural protection. Up the corner to ledge (ususally covered in leaves, wet sand and other crud), short corner to top FA: Bill James & Co. | 10m | Mount Keira | ||

The obvious corner with a tree root at half height. Named after a repeat ascent by David Pickles. FA: Joe Friend & Lindsay Irvine, 1978 | 13m | Watagans | ||
12 | ★★ Room with a View
Up the obvious corner. FA: Glen Jones & Bob McMillan, 1988 | 9m | Point Perpendicular | ||
12 | ★ Pink Knickers
Starts in front of a large marri, mantle to the shelf. | 28m | Churchman's Brook | ||

The crack up the front. Start: Start at a small outcrop just L of the main 'Charity' Wall face. FA: Mike & Jenny Ashton, 1987 | 12m | Arapiles | ||

Right of Lazy Lizards Set: S Puchala FA: S Puchala, 2012 | 8m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Soho Central
Up slab left of Honk On. FA: J Reay, 2012 | 6m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★★★ Rysavy Ridge
Long, serious route, despite the modest grade. Route follows left side of ridge. Harder variants to the right side. Six hours (minimum) of climbing plus two hours (minimum) abseiling down. FA: Steve Brown, John Wood, John Richardson & Tony McKenny, 1977 | 400m | Mount Roland | ||
12 | ★★ Dragon's Tooth
Classic. The obvious wide corner crack. Rack recommendation: A single rack of cams with #4. You don't necessarily need a #5 or #6. At the start, bump the #4 cam as high as possible (deep in the crack) and then as your next pro, see if you can find a thread runner (a pocket that you can sling around). Either step R to the lower-offs of adjacent routes, or go to tree belay at the top then walk out to the road. FA: J.Bishop, J.Aalders & Mr(?)Wilson, 1974 | 30m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Bites in the Pie
Borderline for a star but an interesting jamming experience. The crack right of "Lights In The Sky" FA: Greg Pritchard & Jon Muir, 1993 | 10m | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★ One Hump or Two
| 75m, 3 | Camels Hump | ||
12 | ★ Running Crack
A good intro to jamming. The crack 10 metres left of Big Flake; many people continue with the second pitch of Marmalade. FA: Peter Aitchison & John Price, 1967 | 12m | Orroral area | ||
12 | ★ Schools out for Summer.
The second route as you walk in, located on the slab used by pesky abseilers. Bolted for the beginner leader and for the short (or more accurately a six year olds height.) FA: Matt Tranter, 2017 | 15m, 7 | Mount Alexandra | ||
12 | ★ Zoro
The left tending crack. Has a set of anchors over the bulge at the top on a nice ledge. FA: Marcus T O'Mara, 1994 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
12 | ★ Frodo The Fearless
Set: B Jung FA: B Jung, 2013 | 6m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Execution
As usual CB commandeered the blunt end for this "extreme" piece of climbing. Start 9m R of 'Brutus'. The L corner. FA: Keith Lockwood & Chris Baxter, 1971 | 11m | Werribee Gorge | ||
12 | ★★★ Nervine
Rap chains on top of pitch 3. 60m rap should get you to the ground. | 120m, 5 | Moonarie | ||
12 | ★ Air Line
Marked 'AL'. Good easy crack climbing up a nice groove. FA: Col Smithies & Betty Margetts, 1980 | 20m | Mt Ngungun | ||

12 | ★ Sauterne
Start: Climb the corner to a peg at 10 metres. Step right just above this to access a big ledge. Carry on directly. FA: Mike Ball & Alan Coghlan, 1972 | 20m | Onkaparinga | ||
12 | Armageddon
| 15m | Morialta | ||
5.5 | ★ Shanti
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. (It is considerably easier than Phasers on Stun - 5.5.) A large rock has fallen from midway up the route. The remaining rock is not secure and avoiding it bumps up the difficulty. Still not 5.8 though | 13m, 5 | Calabogie | ||
5.5 | ★★ Route C
Start at a small corner a bit up and to the right of Route B, follow the thin crack to a corner in the upper part of the cliff, then on to 2 bolts as anchors. | 10m | Eardley Escarpment | ||
12 | ★ A Sighing Sea Of Softwoods Swaying In Spring Sex
Great learner lead. Pockets 5m R of Itchy. Direct line staying R of runnel past 4 FHs to shared lower-off. FA: Alistair Byrom & Ken Cox | 18m, 4 | Urbenville | ||
5.5 | ★ Flaky Flake
Start 11m left of the 2nd Easy Way Down, where the obvious zig-zagging crack goes up the cliff. Climb up, generally angling left for the first half, then right, finishing at the large pine tree. Numerous variations are possible. (The flake of the name now rests in pieces at the bottom, courtesy of Gyula Pech, autumn 1985.) Anchors. FA: R Halka & L Yanosik, 1975 | 18m | Calabogie | ||
12 | ★ Flap
Start: Left of arête, marked. Straight up past very little protection. FA: B.Blunt & J Lorincz, 1974 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 | ★ Shitty Nappies
Short corner and arete on left side of wall, starting 2 metres left of "Party Tricks". A bit contrived up high. FA: Campbell Mercer & Julie Nitschke, 1992 | 15m | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★★ Cheshire Cat
This good combination gives another way to approach the nice overhang on Manx. Some people prefer Manx RHV and others prefer this. | 22m | Arapiles | ||
5.5 | ★ Bei Tageslicht
Start 3m left of the obvious Ein Kleines Nacht Klettern. Climb up flakes to and crack to an overhang. Pull over the bulge (crux) and up the headwall to anchors. (Retro-bolted trad route, with FA's permission.) | 11m, 6 | Halton Region | ||
12 | ★ Bills Folly
Double ring top rope anchors installed. Access cautiously from top. Tim Booth The right hand corner crack. Natural protection. Popular even though it has a wide crack. The corner, step left and over last wide crack to top. FA: Bill James & Co. | 13m | Mount Keira | ||
5.5 | ★ Route A
Start at the flaring narrow chimney, and climb past this (low crux) to a rock spike, then up an obvious series of cracks to 2 bolts for anchors at the top. FA: Mark Duval, 1970 | 10m | Eardley Escarpment | ||
12 | ★★ Ultion
Up the corner to the right of Icarus. Recommend Taking #10 & #11 hexes or some large cams. (1) 35m 13 Climb up the main corner, and right hand crack. Belay from inside the large cave. (2) 25m 13 Follow the crack and the corner. Can top out and come down main descent gully or stop at the "Hold Tight" chains on the right just before exiting the corner. 59m abseil. FA: John Austin & Dave MacNamara, 1968 | 60m, 2 | Moonarie | ||
12 | ★ Clytemnaestra
The slick chimney between the Iphigenia Buttress and the Clytemnaestra Buttress. FA: Ian Speedie & Mike Stone, 1964 | 45m | Arapiles | ||
4 | ★★★ Gondwana
| 9m, 3 | Löbejün | ||
12 | ★★ Pulpit Chimney
The obvious chimney. Most people belay on spacious ledge above the huge chockstone. | 60m, 2 | Mount Wellington | ||
12 | Doctor Pat's Crack
This route is so short that it's very hard to justify uncoiling a rope and racking up. If you must, blast up the corner for about 2 moves! FA: Chris Meadows & Mike Meadows., 1973 | 10m | Frog Buttress | ||
12 | ★ Push over
Middle of slab in descent gully. 3RB's to DBB. FA: Gavin Lyon, 2005 | 10m, 3 | New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||

The obvious flake, equipped for Sport climbing since April 2021. FA: Rick Jeuken, 1990 | 8m | Mitcham Quarries | ||
12 | Pedagogue
(P) The curving left facing corner with a steep start. The most popular climb at this end of the crag. "Rock Climbing Around Adelaide" FA: Mike Waite, Mike Ashton & Dave McNamara, 1968 | 20m | Morialta | ||
12 | ★★ Little Hermes
Popular. Start in a small recess just right of a large pillar directly below the roof pitch of 'Hermes'.
FA: Tony Wood & I. Raine, 1968 | 50m, 2 | Orroral area | ||
12 | ★ Josie's Climb
Start at the top left end of the wall, 3m R of the major chimney (Red Parrot Chasm - described on the Reaper Buttress page).
First pitch/rap off point is a little longer than the 25m mentioned in the 2008 Arapiles Selected Climbs guidebook. A 60m rope still easily touches ground though. FA: Josie Ley & late 80s, 2000 | 50m, 2 | Arapiles | ||
12 | ★ Calling All Hobbits
1 bolt up the right arete to chain. FA: Tony Clearwater, 1995 | 8m, 1 | Paynes Ford | ||
12 | ★ Suburban & Coke
Up featured face right of small high cave to shared anchors FFA: Kevin Van Tilburg, 6 12월 2015 | 8m, 3 | Dural | ||
12 | ★ Where's Marty?
2m R of Flat Battery. A sandbagged bouldery, slabby route. In other words a mega classic! Retro'd with 3 FH and chains. FA: Neil Monteith & Mark Bennett, 1994 | 10m, 3 | Mt Ngungun | ||
12 | ★ Gungle Gim Right
FA: Dave 'Baldrick' Chapman, 1995 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||

12 | ★ Winkle
FA: H.Luxford & D.Darmanin, 1972 | 41m | Blue Mountains | ||
12 R | By Ignorance (Variant Finish)
Start as for 'By Ignorance'. At the halfway ledge, traverse R 2m and climb up the middle of the slab to the top. No protection. FFA: Rick White & Chris Meadows, 1968 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
12 | ★ Mystery Slab Route
Start 10 m right of MSD, at base of short slab. Up slab to large ledge (DBB), then up ledges. You can practice a multipitch belay on this one. The narrow bolted slab with an eroding dirt base. Not a great lead for the grade as the bolts aren't in the best positions. On the half way ledge are two double ring bolts, clip the left one and keep motoring up via a tricky mantle to the top. There are now anchors at the top for lowering off. | 12m, 2, 5 | Earlwood | ||
12 | ★ Sticky Fingers
Up the small slab 4m left of Icehouse to the crack with good protection to the tree ledge with belay chains. FA: D. Kahler & S. Bell, 1970 | 18m | Mt Ngungun | ||
5.5 | ★ Sunday Morning Stroll
There is a cluster of 5 (oak) trees at the base of the cliff. This climb starts just up and left of the cluster of trees. This climb starts up initially over a series of blocky ledges, following generally easy climbing, and eventually passing left of the bulges near the top of the cliff.

FA: Willie Butler, 1995 | 9m | Paynes Ford | ||
12 | ★ Frequent Flyers
Up to 2nd bolt, move left to arete and follow to lower-offs. A direct finish following the bolts is harder than the grade 11 or 12. Set: B Jung FA: B Jung, 2013 | 8m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ||
III | ★★★ Südpfeiler
