Description

This part of the Frontline is on the northern side of the small creek that runs parallel to the track. Although home only to a few problems, it certainly offers variety and some pretty good bouldering too.

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.

Approach

On the way down to the Frontline turn right instead of left once down the rocky face meeting the adjacent track.

Start at the back of the cave on the obvious chalked holds. Move out the left side of the roof and continue up the front face via slopey holds (keeping right of the cluster of big jugs).

FA: Rob Saunders

'The Low Side' variant where the cluster of big jugs to the left are in. Start in the back of the cave on the obvious chalked holds just like the other climbs.

Start in the back of the cave same as The Low Side but pop out the right side of the roof and up the slopey ramp.

FA: Rob Saunders

Start in the back left of the cave, following 'The Bright Side' out the right side of the roof, then exit as early as possible from 'The Bright Side' with a high right foot.

When you reach the slopey lip on the bright side, move right to the big knob and mantle through the scoop. Alex Stokes

A real wrestle. Starting on the obvious jug at the end of the rail, reverse Hollow mountain dreaming and finish up '7th Day Ascentist'.

FA: sam

Sit start 1m right of Hollow Mountain Dreaming and go out right side of roof not using any holds of Hollow Mountain Dreaming for hands but ok for feet..

Oliver Chen

FA: Adam Griffiths

'7th Day Ascentist' variant, the same up till the slopey rail then all of Hollow Mountain Dreaming is off for hands and feet and instead of going up the crimps you go straight to the roof. Top out is the same as '7th Day Ascentist'. Maybe V8? Needs some repeats.
