Questões de acesso herdado de New South Wales and ACT

If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales. For more information, including donation details, visit https://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting/

Crimpy slab at start to weird moves over ledge clipping the 4th bolt of 'S.T.O.S' then veers left through breaks to chair anchor.

Long interesting traverse with tricky crux midway, often cleaned by seconding, or climb in reverse. Good warm up for steeper routes in cave.

Up first few bolts of 'T.O.T.L' then veer left to hard face move on headwall.

Steep, juggy and pumpy along the lip of cave to join 'M.M' and finish at lower off above headwall. DO NOT lower off single chain of 'M.M' unless you clip last perma draw from sit down pocket! Kinda chossy and sandy, but still worth a brush and send if you like steep climbs, hopefully it cleans up a little with some traffic.

Roof with unlikely first few moves for the grade and a sit down rest just before lip of cave and headwall. Stick clip first U bolt then jump start to break, traverse left to perma draw and big move to mushroom (now half a mushroom) follow 3 more perma draws to sit down pocket and first lower off chain. Perma draws are in place to prevent the need to back jump to clean horizontal roof and to reduce drag. A good belay is needed as floor of cave follows roof for several metres! Can be climbed to first lower off when raining. Continue up headwall clipping chain with a draw, then committing move past FH to lower off.

Belay near small fig tree at right hand end of cave. Follow U bolts out past pocket breaks with bad feet to a few stiff moves then jugs to chain.

Subtle moves past a small pocket to slopers then easy up to lower off on small headwall.

Next three climbs are 50m north of main cave following cliff line to the right.

Starts on small ledge, lay away left edge of cave to travel right through large window cave/ tube to lower off on other side of hole.

Up 'H.I.O' then traverse right under roof (not through hole) to join 'B' then up outside to shared lower off of all three climbs.

Up orange rock from small ledge on outside of cave to finish at shared anchor on edge of hole.
