Routes in Nowra for selected grade

2 bolts to chains.

Central route up the main wall right of AB.

The right most route up the black slab.

Start on the undercut right hand side of the block. It's a very bouldery start to pull on and lunge out left to the flake. Be prepared to fall off. 3RB's to 2RB anchor

Start: 3rd Climb from the right starts on blunt arete. Lots of jugs down low enjoy the rest at halfway, then suck it up for the techo slab at top

Climb the boulder at the bottom of the access gully. From the top of the boulder move left and pull onto the hanging arête. Traverse left past 3RBs then continue up.

6RB's to 2RB anchor.

Short but worthwhile, add the sit start for the full tick.

Has been rebolted with new lower offs

The extension to Mad Hatter with exciting, committing and exposed moves.

Another total classic which deserves more ascents. Rebolted 2008

Start: Start below the Ubolts, a few metres left of the big crack.

Upgraded to 21 since ring bolts and extension.

This is a rap-in route left of Picture This with new rap-in anchors to semi-hanging belay. If you are worried about run-outs then pack a #1 Wild Country friend and a blue zero. AWESOME Route!!!!

A classic bit of exposure. Was once three stars when you caould hang by one arm from the chicken-head - only worth 1 star now that sombody snapped it off.

Watch the rope length when lowering.

Start: Start by walking up the track to the left of the little grease cave.

A route every wannabe should climb. Not your average 21, but a worthy journey.

A nice line with good climbing, but quite a tricky cruxy. Might be reachy for some. Up the left hand corner in the alcove.

Interesting slabbing. This route should be everyones cup of tea as it takes no power or endurance just a bit of stick. So give it to it.

Start: Start as for the previous route, but then go directly up the slab at half height.

A ripper of a climb. Ripping your finger nails off will be its legacy if you have the balls to try it. Short and a little stiff like the Japanese.

Start: At little weakness in wall a few meters right of BwB arete

Rebolted with a reshuffle. RAD !

From where ADATB steps right, climb straight up the flake/arete feature until the last bolt. Clip, take a deep breath, pull onto the face, and climb up to the ADATB anchor.

Don't keep climbing up the left side of the flake/arete (after clipping the last bolt), this skips the crux.

Up the slab towards the ledge with the obvious sandy cave feature. Stay on the outside of this, moving right to join into the amazing line of scoops and follow this until the last scoop. From here, move left to anchor shared with Shifting Sands.

Climb the funky flakes left of kicking dogs balls. Rebolted and extended 23/6/12

Very hard for the grade (was 18). Left of orange streak and rooflet. Hard start, gets easier the higher you get.

Start below flake.

Climb up right side of cave to pocket and side pulls, hard moves lead to good rest. Battle up the final slimper headwall to glory.

Grade 21 seems doubtful.

Start: Direct start to 'Mungo'.

Starts up Rootasaurus Rex and then takes the crack and wall on the left.

Starts just right of Blue Steel. Up and traverse right a bit where it gets thin. The rest is a little sandy but not at all hard. Will never clean up as will never get enough ascents.

Starts 50 mtrs right or south of blue steel at the left hand corner of cave.. Climb steeply using the cave and wall until forced out onto the face.. Super interesting climb with lots of varied moves

Keep walking past the cave and climb the boulders and look for the line of bolts up the arete Crimp like a billygoat for a few bolts and your safe... Stick clip the first bolt to save your ankles!

It shares the first bolt with 'The Hourglass'. Up the arete, then slightly right through the green section to the top. Bolted so that you can top out and enjoy the beautiful sunset.

This route has awesome moves and is very diverse! (Pockets, Laybacks, Pinches, Grimps, you name it!) Please don't let it grow over again. Climb it, buddies!

First climb you come to

Crimp off the bad hold, mono off the bad hold high step off the lousy footer.. You get the picture

luz en una cueva (light in a cave) Opposite this route is a cave that has a gold circle of light that shines late afternoon like there is a lamp inside. Anyway, very technical and challenging climbing past 4 bulges on amazing rock. Only 1 star because of the batman to the first bolt.

Start in the middle of the cave. Pull up on perfect finger pockets that are almost Vandaholic in scope. Bust through a long run out section using the tiny pebble and up through some "soft" rock to an exciting finish.

Start just below waffle shaped undercling. Straight up onto micro edges and top out on to slopers. This route is covered in lichen and needs a real good scrub, which may earn it an extra star.

A bunch of roofy things. Generally fine climbing swiped off Fat Mark after he gave up.

Start: Left side of the cliff

Pretty epic moves at the start and bomber rock on the headwall! Starts in the obvious scoop right of the 15. Stick clip first bolt and launch out the steepest part of the bulge. Shares anchor with the 15.

A classic Nowra name. The route however has been mostly reclaimed by nature.

A cool move between monos near the top of the cliff to slopy top out. Best traversed into

Up, then head right at the flake, then up.

Start as for Give it the Beans then traverse left into give it the berries. fun climbing

Another tight little number that will test your crimp skills. Keep pulling and stop moaning and you will piss up it.

Start: Wall left of the carrot on the walk down track. Right of the chimney.

Route name changed at the request of the first ascentionist.

Tricky in places that don't even have places.

Start: On the arete just right of sluts of trust.

This unit soughts out the new routers from the Look Mum I Gotta Drill Crowd! It and the next route make CC a redundant traverse in the middle of the wall. How i love making your route finding errors into the directissima.

Start: Same as the CC marked on the rock which is about 4 meters right of the 'Fizzbomb' arete.

Vgroove right of CC

All soughts of dubious technologies were tried to stop the wall from leaking out of the pockets. A good climb but you just have to put the wet patch out of your mind and do it.

Start: Down on the ground at corner left of 'Vermin Arete'.

A great off vertical wall where you can stand on your feet and contemplate why you can't climb it.

Start: Just right of the 'Wet Patch'.

Best wall in the area bar none!

Start: Just right of Planet 'Pulse'

Vermin From Venus 'Arete' start is so hard you really have to work for the grade. So its better off keeping your finger nails and doing this start instead.

Start: One meter right of the 'Rodent From Rigel'.

Nails hard start. Those dudes could really crimp it in the old days.

Start: Under arete now complete with new ring bolts.

Really good climbing that lets you do the possible bits of 'Times Up' and leaves the impossible bits to somebody who can.

Start: At any of the Vermin Starts, take your pick but i suggest the easy one.

Start as for Spinning Blades, but head straight up.

Start about 2m left of 'Joy Mitten'. Climb the unlikely looking wall to small ledge then continue slightly left and on up the arete.

Better finish to Joy mitten. Goes all the way!

Start just left of Girls in the Hood. Climb the crack feature, step right then back left to anchors.

Up left of Jester. This can give climbers with knee troubles the chance to go to hospital.

Avoids the groove start

Start: At 'Jester'

A great route as you still have to do the Johnny Dawes move that i learnt after a coaching clinic with the man himself. Though i never used it again after this climb.

Start: The left start of the direct line that goes up the black wall to mid height.

Black wall right of worm. Go up crack then across right to do the Johny Dawes dyno.

Same start as Off The Rungs but go directly up on the jugs

Start matched on the obvious jug. Traverse left on good holds then pull the lip and top out.

Sit start and up on good holds to finish on the jug.

Stand start on the ledge. 2 big moves straight up.

Stand start as for Corporate Takeover. Move up and right to top at decent edges.

Stand start and climb the hanging arete.

The far right hand climb, up pockets and out roof to a final reach to clip the anchors.

Route name changed at the request of the first ascentionist.

If you are finding this tough, just remember that it is a 21 at south central.

Sustained grey wall with a devilish crux that is probably grade 24.

Start 1m right of GG and 1.5m left of the orange streak.

Start 2m right of DD past arete, off little block. Overhung start, then wall above.

The overhung wall 1m right of SS. Up steep section to pull over onto slabby wall.

Start on the left end of the ledge, 2m right of the chimney. Nice rock. Up wall to hard bulge at top.

Wall before you go under cave just before arriving at chock a block
