A bit runout at top. Up following white orange groove. 3 U bolts to Ring / U bolt anchor

4m right of CR.

Line of ring bolts up orange streak finishing at double rings above bulge.

Line of ring bolts on left side of 'Arete', finishing up WW on slab. 4 ring bolts + DRBB

Hard start jamming up crack, getting easier after the second bolt to shared anchors

1m rt of AGS, balance and smear up tricky slab and then layback to glory.

To the left of ABD with DBB on the top. Easily accessible for top roping. Crux is near the start then through jugs and pockets. Boulders left and right of the route are out.

2m rt of S, over small overlap over the sloppy nose to anchors.

Up 2 RB to shared lower offs with 'Forever Malcom Young'

Start: 1 meter left of 'Forever Malcom Young'

Steepish terrain on good holds to the right of small cave. Crux move after second bolt, keeping off large boulder on the right. 2 bolts + DBB.

Around the corner up right side of cave,Up right side of the big cave, traversing left above lip of cave. 6 bolts + DBB.

2m rt of THCBOTA. Straight up slabby bulge. 3 bolts + DBB

Sections of thin, technical slabbing. Climb direct up the line of the bolts (don't stray towards the crack, or too far right) with a few tough moves.

An adventurous line offering panoramic views of Glenbrook Gorge and the Nepean. Mostly bomber but belayers beware loose rock. Bring ten draws including a few alpines.

1. 25m (16) Slab to hidden rail under roof, left onto ledge, behind boulder, up enormous flake to belay ledge.

2. 20m (18) Peculiar moves from boulder to face. Identify reliable holds and pull up and right through crux. Through gap then stem up final corner to ledge. Can belay here, but remain roped up for slippery scramble to rap chains a few metres above.

To exit walk down faint path on right starting about 10m away from cliff edge. Alternatively, a 70m dynamic rope reaches the ground from the rap chains with stretch - use a rope protector at the lip (same deal if top roping).

Easy looking crack. Don't be fooled! DRB anchors, can walk off.

Several broken holds at the starting boulder problem have upped the direct start grade significantly, so it is now linked into the start of 'Psych out'. Downgraded to meet the new route. Will update when new beta for the direct start is sorted out.

At the very left end of the main area/cliff, short grey and orange wall at middle of large rock platform, with broken blocks at start. Up wall, BR.

Originally thought to be Stone Mason, but turns out it's not. Please claim if you bolted this route. 2 stainless carrots to ledge. Two further carrots to DBB. Really fun climb on surprisingly good rock. Could use a name, grade and info from FA.

Twin water-streaked black wall with large turpentine tree at middle of base ledge, start 2m left of tree, directly below triangular orange patch. Good route up impressive black wall. Long leadouts with minimum protection makes it a serious lead. Up wall to groove, left to line of holds, to detached block then to break, right to water streak (crux). Cams needed.

Up short overhanging groove to PR, join MB.

As for MB to horizontal break. No protection, exposed. Good climbing. Left and up thin wall/slab.

Just right of Jack Murphy's Climb, just left of orange streak. Steep and exposed. Protection down low is inadequate. A serious and dangerous lead. Up rotten corner, right to ramp, use BR as hand hold, leave ramp to good black rock and 3 BRs to small chain belay at ledge. Abseil off tree.

Corner 5m right of TV, immediately below a pair of Angophoras. A fair climb following the longest natural line on the cliff.

5. 10m Broken rock to top.

Up short overhanging groove to PR, join MB.

Direct start is to the left, a thin crack about 17. An enjoyable climb but not much protection down low. Up as for PPR for 5m then left via small bulge to corner, then to black wall, straight up to FH (crux) and on to DBB.

Left corner in squarish gully that has a Bloodwood at top of middle or rear wall of gully. Scramble/climb to top of fused pedestal. An excellent climb up steep crack and corner. Poor protection at start. Right to thin crack/bulge, up to join twin thin cracks, up corner to tree belay.

Several metres to right of PP. Nice down low. Up slab to BR, thin flake to join SC at 'V' roof.

Thin cracks and steps around right of SC. Harder than it looks. Limited protection. Up the steps, limited protection.

Up short wall behind Casuarina tree, to flake, right to wall then corner and up over roof to tree. Abseil off tree.

The first problem on the LHS of the Sprat Boulder - over shallow water, take care

North end of the mini cliff, slight over hang down low and with the crux establishing feet above that.

Small line up obvious features on the left side of the downside of Crèche boulder.

How do I delete this route???

Great crimpy wall on good edges until the top flake that isn't as good as you hope.

Super top moves that require a bit of thinking and crimping.

The right glue in carrot route, details unknown? Funk up the steep start to an easy finish. Home to one of the best holds on the wall.

Far left on the wall starting on the face then moving left then up. 2 carrot bolts. 1st is a bit high.

On the rounded nose left of 'Pump up the jam'. Get past the cave by propping up off boulder.

Up crack right side of bulge slab. Layback start. Reachy balanced top moves. Lots of fun with some cool holds and footwork.

Cool climbing hard moves pinching and crimping

Up crack left of 'random climb'. Easy start with a forest of holds to the 2 horns. Thins out slightly with some balancy moves, keep pumping through. 2 carrot bolts. Can be done as a sport, mixed trad or top rope route.

One meter left of old pumpy, fun features and some cool moves
