The Blue Mountains are a World Heritage listed area. The Grose Valley, the cliffs around Katoomba and much of the Narrow Neck peninsula are part of the Blue Mountains National Park which is managed by the NPWS. The Western Escarpment - where most of the climbing is - is Crown Land managed by the BMCC. While the NPWS Plan of Management nominates several locations in the National Park where rock climbing is deemed appropriate, the majority of the climbing remains unacknowledged. To maintain access our best approach is to 'Respect Native Habitat, Tread Softly and Leave No Trace'. Do not cut flora and keep any tracks and infrastructure as minimal as possible.

Practically all crags are either in National Park or in council reserve: dog owners are reminded that dogs are not allowed in National Parks at any time and fines have been issued, while for crags on council reserve the BMCC leash law requires that dogs be on-leash.

Start: Bolts 3m right of YD. This route is now unclimbable due to tree growing next to wall.

Prominent slanting hand crack on head wall. Start: 3m right at short corner crack.

Start: As for FYU but right.

Start: 30m right of FYU. Corners.

Crack and flake.

Start: 7m right again.

At block below a small overhang and short rotten wall. Thin crack and face.

Start: 26m right of RF.

Start 3m right of MG. Up right of weakness, through overlap and up wall. A few cams, wires, carrots and fixed hangars to loweroffs. Not bad.

Major arete on left side of the overhung wall. Start 3m right of the arete and trend left onto arete by about the 4th bolt. The arete can be climbed direct (22) or by climbing the face on the left side (20).

The arching crack then up the wall past carrots to ledge and then to top.

Start 3m right of Unknown on left of the cave. Up juggy wall to roof, then swing right and diagonally upwards to overlap then straight up wall to loweroffs.

Start as for Fizzgig and traverse further right then up near right end of block. Use long slings to avoid rope drag. Alternatively start in Blaxlands Gully, crawl along ledge or launch off edge of gully and up onto the wall, then straight up. May have been climbed in the dark ages.
