Wollongong Stanwell Tops Stonehaven
10 Shoulders

On ledge above start of Syko. Crack, then chimney.

FA: Chris Sykes & Chris Wilmott, 1993

Trad 5m
Wollongong Scarborough Cliffs The Penthouse
10 Highway to Hell

A long adventurous pitch that allows access between the ground (Vegemite Wall) and The Penthouse.

From The Penthouse:
Rap 15m from the chains to the base of Stairway to Heaven. Traverse 40m to the south clipping the bolts every 5 or so meters. Belay from trees at the big dirty ledge at the end. Locate fixed lines on the south end of the ledge to descend to the ground.
From the ground/Vegemite Wall:
Up fixed lines onto big ledge. belay from trees as leader traverses back north finishing up the easy featured slab. Splitting this into two pitches is a good idea as falling on the slab (rock failure is very likely) would be very dangerous with 40m of rope out.
