Take at least 16 draws, a few slings, and prussiks for leader and second. Two 50m ropes suffice. All U-bolts. Pitches 2→4 are protected from rain.

2020 | |||||
29 | ★★★ Headliner
The first route on the left wall of the gully, before you hit the creek. The belay zone is perpetually muddy, so a rope tub rather than rope bag is recommended. Scramble onto high platform to put your shoes on then blast off. Much effort has gone into ensuring the unique ironstone "wave" in the final roof stays in place for your climbing pleasure. You can happily hang off it and double kneebar against it - just don't kick it or try to deliberately break it. Take one long sling for the first roof. FFA: Lee Cujes, 10 Oct 2020 | 17m, 12 | Blue Mountains | ||
25 | ★★ Opening Act
About 10m R of Headliner. A well-protected roof boulder to start, then epic steepness on equally epic-sized holds. The finish is wild. Kneebars not required. Will my grade of 25 stick? FFA: Lee Cujes, 10 Oct 2020 | 15m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ Low Earth Orbit
Access as if you were walking to Jimmy Cliff, but when you drop into the (second) creek and come up the other side, don't go R along the path, instead go straight up to a smooth rock pillar/shelf under the roof. Stickclip high first bolt, then truck left along the rail to set up for a knee-related crux on Nowra-like stone. Then take it to the top. A roller on the belay bolt helps with boinking. FFA: Lee Cujes, 5 Sep 2020 | 17m, 12 | Blue Mountains | ||
26 | Take Two
5m L of ASITD at the black face with small rooflet. Start at flake. Stickclip, then very powerfully up and right to tough second clip. Very thin to the third, then relax, it's in the can. FA: Lee Cujes, 7 Jun 2020 | 12m | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ Prince Of Darkness
Start a couple of metres L of AATM. Steep wall climbing past the "moonboard crux", then the mega popcorn ceiling. A few sandy holds can be avoided in the last couple of easy metres to the anchor, no biggie. Recent comments suggest it might be harder than 28, opinions welcome. FA: Lee Cujes, 24 May 2020 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
29 | ★★★ Fade To Black
The big left to right traverse. Start 10m L of POD under large hueco. Stickclip then blast right (including some up and down climbing) along huge features to the crux transition climbing up to the big roof. Then jug upwards to glory. Better beta has seen this settle at 29. FA: Lee Cujes, 13 May 2020 | 20m | Blue Mountains | ||
23 | ★ From The Depths
The scoop feature 10m L. Carefully traverse in across the ledge to clip first bolt and begin. Reasonably sustained with a crux lunge that is a bit more powerful than you want it to be at the grade. FA: Lee Cujes, 13 May 2020 | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | ★★ A Shot In The Dark
A great little testpiece. 5m L of FTD. Stickclip and traverse in from the L. Techy, bouldery moves past the second bolt on pockets to get established on the face above. Classy climbing on ripples and incuts from here to the top. FA: @1293 & Lee Cujes, 9 May 2020 | 17m | Blue Mountains | ||
30 | ★★★ Total Recall
Climb Basic Instinct to the first ledge. Clip third bolt with long sling then climb up a few moves before traversing directly L out of BI along line of pockets and up to major ledge. Marble rock above this before encountering the bulge. Jetpack through this but keep some in the tank for the technical headwall up proud orange streak. FFA: Lee Cujes, 22 Mar 2020 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
2019 | |||||
31 | ★ Casino
3m L of TS. This boulder problem on a rope climbs through the distinctive hole in the roof before getting to grips with some very small holds. Very hard to grade as the key move is a long reach - span will affect difficulty. Climbed with first two bolts clipped and no cairn - the start move is part of the route. FA: Lee Cujes, 27 Oct 2019 | 8m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ||
29 | ★★ Irreconcilable Differences
1m R of The Specialist. With its multiple roof boulders, has a very similar flavour to The Specialist, but likely a touch harder. Deceptive headwall finale. FFA: Lee Cujes, 13 Sep 2019 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
29 | ★★ The Specialist
Up pockets and through roof to ledge. Full body climbing through the next steep section to ledge. A lower angle final third caps things off. Take a couple of long slings and kneepads. FFA: Lee Cujes, 1 Sep 2019 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ Broken Flowers
5m L of Basic Instinct. A boulder route with tricky sections split by ledge rests. Cool iron-cross boulder moving L under roof then up to ledge. Extremely steep elevator doors scoop section to more moderate headwall finish. FFA: Lee Cujes, 28 Jun 2019 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ Trail Of Tears
If you're planning an onsight, access per the dedicated Samarkand abseil route (see description) and take about 18 draws. If you plan to rap the route instead (slower, but you get to see what you're in for), you'll need a 130m rope. Your top anchor (DBB) is hidden 10m up and right of Samarkand's top anchor, behind grass tree. You will need a rope protector for the top edge and lots of quickdraws to clip in on the way down to stay in contact. Choosing a day with westerly breeze is recommended.
Certain pitches were freed individually earlier, but the first ascent was done in a continuous push. FFA: Lee Cujes & @1293, 28 Apr 2019 | 120m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ||
29 | ★★ Basic Instinct
Start where the track meets the rock. High stickclip to start; steep, moderate climbing for 6 bolts to a ledge below the 'slab'. A baffling move to overcome the slab and then it's game on up the headwall on cool pockets to an improbable-looking, dynamic crux. Take one long sling for the first bolt on the slab. FFA: Lee Cujes, 14 Apr 2019 | 25m, 14 | Blue Mountains | ||
25 | ★★ Sliver
Was partially bolted, abandoned, and now cleaned up 20 years later. 3m R of Basic Instinct, up the slab past two rings onto the diving board. Very carefully up Corner, then out left to the arete. Continue up the right side of this with increasingly interesting moves. Hand traverse the holdless rising ramp, where a few more pulls will see you on the headwall with pleasant edges leading to the anchor. | 25m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ||
22 | ★ Red Sleigh Down
Be an arborist to gain the ledge. A quick mantle, then it steepens through a strenuous little bulge and final juggy headwall. The crux might be keeping your rope out of the drink. FFA: Lee Cujes & Kris Hampton, 14 Mar 2019 | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | ★ Jimmy Valmer
A new addition that weaves its way around the massive flake feature at half height. Enjoy. FFA: Lee Cujes, 24 Feb 2019 | 20m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ||
2018 | |||||
28 | ★★ Pit Viper
Links Force Cannon into Farkenright. Climb all of the hard bit of FC to the horizontal break just before the ledge. Now bust directly right via a tricky boulder, then across the break to the hourglass hold, continuing R as per Farkenright. Lots of roof climbing! FFA: Lee Cujes, 10 Aug 2018 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
27 | ★★ Farkenright
As for Farkenstone, but instead of tackling Arkenstone's roof boulder, keep trucking right to finish on the skyline. Consistent juggy steepness the whole way. FFA: Lee Cujes, 18 May 2018 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
29 | ★★★ The Farkenstone
Avoids The Arkenstone's bouldery lower crux by coming in from the left. Clip the first bolt on Force Cannon, then up right past four new bolts to join the original at the 'hourglass' hold. Finish directly up through the roof as for Arkenstone. FFA: Lee Cujes, 6 May 2018 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
27 | ★★ Force Cannon | 25m, 15 | Blue Mountains | ||
26 | ★★★ Megaflex
An epic adventure up all sorts of vertical terrain. Starts 50m around left from Waylander proper. Arete to start then technical wall and hidden slab - then traverse right and up slabby arete and then face, bulge and corner to finish. Use long runners to avoid rope drag. Watch your rope length - 70m rope will just get you down if your belayer stands on the starting cairn! FFA: Heath Black & Lee Cujes, Jan 2018 | 40m, 20 | Blue Mountains | ||
24 | Avoiding the Issue
Was a long standing project - then Lee came up with the bright idea to just use the arete rather than avoid it. FA: Lee Cujes, 2018 | Blue Mountains | |||
2017 | |||||
30 | ★★ Bankrolla | 18m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
19 | Kevin the C%#t!
A landmark feature, but the rock is average at best! Up the major left facing corner-crack between the choss-arete and STMLTS, with much loose rock on the right wall. Hard moves through the vegetation, up scary block of mega-choss, up off-width overhanging corner (with sections of choss) and finally up into roof to lower-off anchors. The theme of the day is choss! FA was done in a giant pitch (and not using any of the nearby bolts), but best to split this into two pitches at the interim belay below the giant choss-block (or just bring 3 x full racks #0.75 to #4 and lots of runners). FA: Paul Frothy Thomson & Lee Cujes, 21 May 2017 | 35m | Blue Mountains | ||
2016 | |||||
29 | ★★ Three Barbarians | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ The Macleod
Starting on far left of wall just right of handover rope. Boulder up under roof, reach through to big jug on arete. Bouldery sequence to ledge. Traverse left and up as it steepens into the technical crux. If that goes well, make your way up and left, navigating around the huge flake feature and final big move to top out. 10 bolts to lower off. Set: Lee Cujes, 2016 FFA: Lee Cujes & Emil Mandyczewsky, 3 Nov 2016 | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
28 | ★★ Men Will Fear You | 17m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ||
27 | ★★ Bloody Northerners
Pouncy low roof, sloper crux, traverse left then cool hanging corner, arete and a baffling final move. 10 bolts to lower off. Set: Lee Cujes, 2016 FFA: Lee Cujes & Emil Mandyczewsky, 25 Sep 2016 | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ||
27 | ★★ Armistice Direct
Effectively a 2nd pitch to Digitalicious through the short steep roofs above the shale ledge. Short right facing flake, wall then long move through roof to jug. Hand traverse right then up steep wall above to crux section passing the final bolt. Mantle the lip to finish. Back-jump. Set: Neil Monteith, 2013 FFA: Lee Cujes, 28 Mar 2016 | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ||
2014 | |||||
27 | ★ Foxy Cleopatra
5m R. Scramble up to high first bolt on far right of the choss ledge. A few bolts lead up and R (slab) until it kicks back. A long move to a flake begins the steep climbing. A pronounced crux lunge (stopper bloc?) leaves you with the last victory move to finishing jug. FFA: Lee Cujes, 25 Aug 2014 | 17m | Urbenville | ||
31 | ★★★ Vixen
5m L of X-Men up obscene steepness. Just awesome. FFA: Lee Cujes, 17 Aug 2014 | 20m, 9 | Urbenville | ||
24 | ★ Extra Bolt
Climb Extra Shot. Then bust R along the rail passing one FH to anchor of Glenn’s project. Back-jump. FFA: Lee Cujes, 9 Aug 2014 | 22m, 11 | Urbenville | ||
28 | ★ Extremely Unseemly
6m R. The cool-looking overhanging mini-corner-seam. Very bouldery and difficulty might be a bit height dependent? 6 FH’s to anchor. A grade or 2 harder now after broken holds ** FFA: Lee Cujes, 2014 | 15m, 7 | Urbenville | ||
2013 | |||||
31 | ★★★ Dominatrix
Prepare to be dominated. Climb Miss Sixty to last bolt, then grapple the overlap diagonally R passing another 5 FH’s to shared anchor of next route. Absolute beast of a pitch. Super good. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 23m, 12 | Urbenville | ||
30 | ★ Miss Sixty
1m R. Scramble up to start ledge from R, then carefully wander over to far L of ledge (chalky choss) to U-bolt above a chossy white V-groove. Route blasts up from here passing 5 FH’s to anchor. Steep, bouldery and thin with a spicy top section. A bit of care with the beautiful start flake, please. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 15m, 6 | Urbenville | ||
29 | ★★ Extreme Makeover
5m R. Starts on high ledge near remains of a tree 5m off the deck. Access this by scrambling up from far R, then carefully walking back L. Clip first UB on Miss Sixty with long sling for safety while getting established on the line. Four clips (UB’s and FH’s) and very bouldery tension climbing. Anchors on smooth orange shield. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 15m, 6 | Urbenville | ||
25 | ★ Lickety Split
This route climbs the obvious beauty double white streaks on the far right of the wall. To access, climb Sundae Slab, then traverse fixed line R to DBB on dirt ledge beneath scoop. Edge up the scoop to easy choss ledges (easy does it) beneath steep wall. Clip first FH on steep wall with a screwgate to limit potential fall distance, then blast the wall above. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 18m, 8 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
23 | ★★ Botox Betty
2m R. Jug hauling on severely overhanging territory - should be popular. 5 bolts to low anchor just after the big break. Take care with the third clip. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 12m, 6 | Urbenville | ||
24 | ★★★ Hot Sex
A large traversing line. First three bolts as for Flexion (long draw on second), then layback the monster flake to stance. Clip FH on R, then edge R-wards across the blank slab for about 8m to the point the line skyrockets up through the roof (super). The route keeps going up the headwall for about 10m on superb stone. Take some long slings. A 60m rope is more than sufficient as it’s a traverse. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 35m, 14 | Urbenville | ||
27 | ★ Stracciatella
From the belay, go up (same bolt as Closed Project Glenn) and then hard right (run out). This second-rightmost line of bolts provides climbing which builds in difficulty as you go. Once you reach the underclings, it’s ON all the way to the anchor clip FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 19m, 7 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
28 | ★★★ Epoxy Doxie
The line 10m R which blasts straight up the guts of the steepness. U-bolt, then 6 FH’s up the 45 degree overhung wall to an incredible finish with one of the best holds I’ve ever seen on the finishing ledge. Classic. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 15m, 8 | Urbenville | ||
28 | ★★★ Toxic Shock Syndrome
2m R. More steepness with some very big moves and a challenging and spectacular finale past the break. Was impressively onsighted in its original form but has since shed a major hold down low and is a bit harder. It has now shed a lot more holds and it will need some work before it is solid again FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 15m, 8 | Urbenville | ||
25 | ★ Flexion
Starts same as above but takes the right-hand bolt line. Trends up and R passing monster flake (climbing corner L of this) to roof, through this on flakes. 9 FH’s then mantle to anchor above lip. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 22m, 10 | Urbenville | ||
25 | ★★★ Tito Traverxa
15m R in central section of wall. Monster traverse - traverses about 15m R through a 45 degree overhung wall. A tribute to a very talented 12yo Italian climber on the day of his passing. 12 FH’s. Permadraws. Very chossy until the 2nd draw. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 28m, 13 | Urbenville | ||
26 | ★★ Sun's Out Guns Out
Directly up from belay passing shared bolt, then step R onto ledge. Two close bolts, then into the biggest corner on the wall. Up, then quaker flake laybacks up the steep wall. Fingery crux caps things off. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 25m, 15 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
26 | ★★★ Powderkeg
Coolum's highest route. Climb CFT and top out on the ledge. You might like to pull and re-drop your rope to lessen drag. Step right, and blast through steep but juggy terrain into the stratosphere. Some longer draws at certain spots will ease your pain. The final bolt (anchor) is just below the top of the cave and currently sports a leaver biner. You can just get down on a 60m from here, but back-jump to clean. (Was closed, but has been rebolted - 2015) | 30m, 20 | Mt Coolum | ||
23 | ★★ Puniverse
The pockety, left to right trending line 3m R of Seven Year Itch. Might be 24 but the grades in Cave 5 are all whacked out. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2013 | 6m, 3 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||

FA: Adam Donoghue & Gareth Llewellin, 2006 | 20m, 2, 4 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
28 | ★★ Seven Year Itch
Two bolts up start wall to corner/roof. Bouldery, fun moves out this to giant flake and a squirmy exit to lip. Anchor above on headwall. Reminiscent of 'A Kneebar Too Far' at Mt Coolum. FA: craig pohlman, 2005 FFA: Lee Cujes, 2012 | 15m, 6 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||

25 | ★★ The David Lee Roth | 20m, 12 | Mt Coolum | ||
20 | ★ Dave | 12m, 9 | Mt Coolum | ||
26 | ★★ Nuts in High Places
Climb this as one pitch from the ground. Climb FIHP, extending the last clip, and climb directly up the wall above past 5 RBs to wild conclusion which resembles mantling the end of a diving board. FA: Lee Cujes, 2011 | 22m, 10 | Mt Coolum | ||
26 | ★★ Meter Maids
Start as for previous but once off the ground, step right to first bolt in R-leaning black corner. Up this til possible to lean left and clip UB on steep wall. Punchy moves up this (2 UB's) then easier headwall. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2011 | 18m, 11 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
2010 | |||||
32 | ★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds
4m R of Evil Wears No Pants. Futuristic. Two hard boulder problems to classic upper wall. Finishes at anchor on right shared with Gladiator. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2010 | 23m, 10 | Mt Coolum | ||
21 | ★ Yule Corner | 18m, 8 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
24 | ★★ Bikinitown | 18m, 10 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
7c+ | ★★★ Monarch
Begins with an easy crack then changes dramatically into a sustained crux to the anchors. FA: Lee Cujes, 2010 | 25m, 13 | Cat Ba Island | ||
3 | ★ Valencia
10m or so L of Are We Dancer. Vegetated right-trending access ramp (line of least resistance) to the L side of the Sun Bowl sector (with lower off). First FH at about 10m. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2010 | 15m, 3 | Pages Pinnacle | ||
7b | ★★ Muhammad Ali
Pockets to slab to overhang with some nice rests. Top is technical and makes the grade and necessitates a careful belay. FA: Lee Cujes & Samantha Cujes, 2010 | 22m, 12 | Cat Ba Island | ||
2009 | |||||
23 | ★★ Fatman Scoop
Scramble up to the base of the orange scoop. Clip a piece of history (!) before moving into the scoop proper and the first of four UBs. Good moves take you up and L to the zenith of the scoop and small rooflet. A little corner caps things off. Lower-off. FA: Lee Cujes, 2009 | 20m, 4 | Brooyar | ||
29 | ★★★ A Gaze Blank and Pitiless as the Sun
Big and bold, a King Line of the Summit Cave. Devotion required. To start, set a belay on the ledge atop Trojan's first pitch using the first bolt of this route. Stem and undercling out the beyond horizontal roof to lip. Lip traverse right. Up very steep wall to 'the arrow hold'. Then breach crux to gain the corner of In Between Dreams. Finish up this. FA: Lee Cujes, 2009 | 20m, 9 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
7a+ | ★★ My Way
Consider a stickclip for the first bolt not to fall into the cave below! FA: Lee Cujes & and Team Australia, 2009 | 18m, 9 | Cat Ba Island | ||
2008 | |||||
30 | ★★★ Evil Wears No Pants
The 70 degree overhung madness that rears above the walking track. One of the best steep routes in Australia. Amazingly this was the first route to be equipped at Coolum (2 bolts); it was then extended another 2 bolts and attempted by various suitors over the next 15 years. In early 2008, Adam Donaghue refreshed the hardware & added two extensions, beginning both from a batman start on the U-bolt (Ground Control 28 going L and Major Tom 30 going straight up). Lee linked up the boulder problem start with Major Tom and Evil Wears No Pants was reborn as one of Queensland's 'King Lines'! FA: Adam Donoghue, 2008 FFA: Lee Cujes, 2008 | 20m, 11 | Mt Coolum | ||
27 | ★★ Grazed Anatomy
Climb FMT past four bolts, then up past another five. At last bolt, mantle lip of cave and stand on top triumphant. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2008 | 15m, 9 | Mt Coolum | ||
18 | Pray For Rain
Rap in off top FH or scramble down. There is a FH for belay at the base. Four FH’s on polished moon rock. FA: Lee Cujes & Eric Smits, 2008 | 10m, 4 | Kwiamble National Park | ||
25 | ★★ Who Grazed My Chevy? (linkup)
Climb to Chevy's last bolt, go left and finish up GA. FFA: Lee Cujes, 2008 | 15m | Mt Coolum | ||

22 | ★★ Procrastislider | 16m | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
26 | ★★★ Ill Gotten Gains | 30m, 15 | Mt Cooroora | ||
26 | ★★★ Black Leather Dungarees
Start at RA's anchor. Steep stuff straight above the belay. Traverse L under roof to wacky slab and a rest above. Huge jugs and horns comprise the final third. 11 U-bolts to DUBB. Second to clean. Rope length warning: It is more than 30m from anchor to ground. Suggestion: leader lowers, rope toss to pull back to belay, second to clean, lower second to ground, pull rope to start belay, rap off. | 20m, 11 | Mt Coolum | ||
27 | ★★★ Gasoline Rainbow
Amazing climbing which is never too hard, but quite continuous! Start at the top anchor of FIHP. Step L, then three RBs to unique cave move. Thug R to jutting horn. Breach "slab" above moving L to find some harder moves. A traverse L, then finish on jugs. DUBB. Nine RBs. Lower-off into the ocean. Use 60m rope. | 20m, 9 | Mt Coolum | ||
2006 | |||||
28 | ★★★ The Forty Metre Mile
Pack your draws because this is a super link-up. Climbs the 1st and 2nd of Procrastinator, 2nd and 3rd of Slider, bolt 3, 4 and 5th of Squealer, 4th of Madder, 3rd of Howler, 4th and 5th of Wailer, 4th of The Final Piece and finish up this. Some long slings will help alleviate rope drag. FA: Duncan Steel † & Lee Cujes, 2006 | 30m, 15 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
2005 | |||||
26 | ★★ Procrastiwailer
Same as for Procrastihowler but head R again and through the Wailer crux to finish the line. FA: Lee Cujes, 2005 | 23m | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
24 | ★★ Procrastihowler
Same as for Procrastisquealer but at the 6th bolt of Squealer bust right again across Madder and then power through the crux of Howler and up this. FA: Lee Cujes, 2005 | 20m | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
2004 | |||||
15 | ★ Tiger Stripe
Start at "TS" mark. Trend L past 3 FHs then back R again past 4th FH to join 'Tiger's Tail' for final FH & shared DBB. FA: Bernie Corfield & John Jones, 1980 FFA: Lee Cujes, Sam Coles & Chris Gibson, 2004 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 | ★ Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)
Start as for 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)', 3m R of 'Kiwi'. Marked "AFD". Straight up past 3 FHs then head R past BR to roof. Clip FH just above roof and crank through crux (climbing R around roof is a much easier climb). Once above roof, either run it out straight up easy corner to DBB on ledge or move L around arete to join 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)', finishing up past 2 BRs to top. Prior to 2004 this climb traversed in from 'Kiwi'. FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 1993 FFA: Lee Cujes & Chris Gibson, 2004 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)
Start as for 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)', 3m R of 'Kiwi'. Marked "AFD". Straight up past 3 FHs then head L to BR (a bit run out). Up fun juggy bulge then move R along ledge to arete. Either finish up this past 2 BRs to top or traverse R to DBB on 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)'. Prior to 2004 this climb started up 'Kiwi' and was known as "Kiwi RHV".

Descent: Abseiling back the way you came is not recommended and has resulted in numerous stuck ropes.

The top anchors for Clemency are beneath the tree with the fixed rope. Please note that there is a fixed rope heading down and right from the anchor of Troposhpere, this does NOT lead to an anchor that you should abseil from. | 110m, 5 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
