Access issues inherited from Thompson's Sunrise

There is a private property boundary just meters past the East Access gully (in line with the East cliff face), do not stray past here.

Approach

Lookout Wall is located directly below the Thompson's Point Reserve 'Lookout' and is accessed by scrambling down the gully 10m right (east) of the lookout.

Ethic inherited from Nowra

Mostly developed as a sport climbing and bouldering area. Some trad climbing exists, mainly the pure cracks. If developing new areas keep an eye and and ear out for Aboriginal cultural heritage, including cave art.

4m right of EOSM and left of Offwidth. Stay on face, up to slight left then follow bolt line.

FFA: 22 Jul 2023

Right of obvious offwidth and left of Melodrama. A powerful delicate move down low with the crux on finger holds up high through scoop.

FFA: 23 Mar

A little runout to start but then easy climbing. If you are feeling strong you can finish with a long hard move to pull up level with the anchors (add a couple of grades) or you can just clip the anchors from below.

Links 'No Drama' into 'Melodrama'.

Start: Start as for 'No Drama' but veer left at the 1st RB and continue up 'Melodrama'.

FA: Jason Atkinson / Lee Walker, 2000

Delicate climbing with a thought provoking crux at mid height.

3RB's to 2RB anchor.

FA: Lee Walker / Jason Atkinson, 2000

Left of BITS. Start up slight left of bolts before drifting right and powerful crux move. Interesting variations of moves through the block makes this an interesting climb.

A hard move up the initial face is followed by an interesting slab towards the top. Finish direct or chicken out and take the easy option by moving left. 6RB's to 2RB anchor.

Links the 1st half of 'The Furburger' into the 2nd half of 'Blister In The Sun'.
