Wollongong Rat's Crag Rat's Boulders
V9 Punks Labyrinth

The first king line completed! Bring your knee pads to make good use of the two rests because this is looong. Links Prehistoric Punk -> Renegades of Punk -> Nirvana -> Punk Soccer then escapes out the chimney.

Wollongong Mount Keira West Face
V8 Dr Cameltoe

Dyno - grab jug rail at head height, smear feet and launch for hueco, top out. Maybe a bit harder for people under 6ft. Essentially climbs the wall left of GD without using the obvious holds on the routes either side.

FA: Johan Szabo, 2006

Wollongong Mount Keira West Face Boulders Nitro Wall
V9 Double Blower

Goes straight up the middle of the overhanging wall and tops out. Tough mantle. Sit start, from big hueco/pocket, move up the face to the lip, mantle and top out. The key is doing a pop move from the pocket/crimp to the side pull and get a toe cam in the big hueco.Spotter advised for topping as a fall from here will see you tumble down the hill.

Wollongong Mount Keira West Face Boulders Book Boulder

Boulder 5m
Nowra Bomaderry Creek Lot 33 Bouldering
V9 Scrawny & Horny

LH crimp that you use to throw to the finishing jug has snapped. There is still a hold there but probably goes at a harder grade * Starts right where the blue Lot 33 graffitti is. Awkward start to gain the sidepull/undercling with your RH. Then a long move LH to a shallow pinch, cross over with your RH to a pocket. Then up to the sharp LH crimp and a throw to the jug to finish. Ledge on the ground is NOT in!*

FA: Paul Westwood, 2000

Boulder 4m

V8 Unknown Crotty

A big jump from a huge jug to another huge jug - the business is controlling the swing! The landing is a bit dodgy so pad it out and have a spotter.
