条目 in Hat Hill Crag

Quite a spectacular looking orange wall, clearly visible 500m downstream from Atlantis. Doesn't quite live up to first impressions due to limited starts and grainy rock. The wall gets sun after midday - and is nicely wind protected from winter westerlies. The lovely canyon below the cliff offers great swimming in summer. This crag is just inside the Blue Mountains National Park - so the usual restrictions apply - no dogs, smoking, fires etc.

Start as per Captain My Captain but continue trending right and then up. Small holds, powerful moves.

Excellent compact sandstone. Technical thuggery if that is not an oxymoron. Start out of cave with undercut start. Six bolts before moving right and up again to anchors under the rooflet.

The next two routes share the same start and 4 bolts - and begin on left edge of cave where the ledge narrows. The first bolt is low and in a red scoop.

Start as per Mad Hatter but continue straight up.

Starts at left edge of cave, on the right side of the orange overhung wall. Undercut start then up slopers to big break. Big reach to next break then hand traverse left across jugs to crux move going back up again. Finish up sustained edges then easier ground.

Start as per Fedora, clipping the first bolt, move slightly right and straight up. 26 or 27.

Central line of the overhung orange wall. Starts just right of small tree growing at base of cliff. Sustained pumpy climbing on mostly big jugs. Runout to anchor. Use the low belay bolt to avoid a falling off the ledge catastrophe.

Pumper on big jugs and long moves. Climb Fedora for 5 bolts - then truck left along horizontal break for a few metres - then straight up steep orange wall.

Steep and very pumpy. Bouldery rightwards traverse under the roof (staying low) for 5m then let the big dynamic moves begin. The climbing above bolt 4 is three star awesomeness on glorious orange pocketed rock.

Walk 50m left along narrow vegetated ledge to flat ground and vertical wall with major right facing slabby corner crack.

The top half of this route is a left facing flake up an orange wall. Jump for the first hold on lip of cave, a couple of long moves to break - easy slabby ground then blast up the sustained overhung flake.

Only temp bolts on this in the upper half (and a fixed rope as of Oct 2022). Closed project - stay off.

Starts just right of corner crack on slab. Up slab for 4 bolts then traverse left under roof above corner crack and finish up series of steep flakes and corners. Finish with hands on top of cliff (a metre past the anchor).

The slabby splitter hand crack corner offers a great alternative start to Yucadoo! Eats #2 & #3 Camalots. This may have been climbed previously - as there is a random piton with a biner in a higher corner about halfway up Yucadoo!

Square cut arete just left of Crackadoo corner crack. Quality thin face climbing from start to finish. Finish up orange streak.

Slink up this fun technical face climb - with a little space between the bolts. This is the middle bolted route up the grey face 3m left of Hat Trick.

Far left route of the crag. Funky hidden pockets up grey wall.

The things people climb to get their ropes up on better things. The ugly and vegetated corner left of Dinosaur Train.
