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.

Dave did the fa in about 1996. Start with both hands on the rail then big move up to the sloping lip. Speculated at the time to be v9 but who knows?? Note: Currently fallen tree blocking the dyno. FA: Dave Browning | 4m | |||
V9 | ★★ Total Climb Replacement
Start as for Prosthesis but climb left via small crimps and toe hook to end up going right hand to chipped pocket before finishing on jug rail Might be slightly harder than Prosthesis FA: Emmanuel Madayag, 9 Sep 2023 | 2m | |||

New South Wales and ACT Central Tablelands Blue Mountains Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Rhum Dhu | |||||
31 | ★★★ Cul De Sac

New South Wales and ACT Central Tablelands Blue Mountains Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Diamond Falls Mr Wall | |||||
30 | ★★★ Tuckered Out
Tuckered Out is probably the best route on the wall, grade wise, climbing wise and fun wise. It has so much more climbing than most of the other routes. Climb Super Duper Goo but finish up the roof of Tucker Time. FA: Zac Vertrees, 2005 | 23m | |||
31 | ★★★ Mr Mean Goo
Start as for Mr Meaner for 3 bolts then move a bit L. Sustained crimping for about 10m of independent climbing, eventually joining the top flake of Mr Magoo. Continue into Super Goo to the top of the cliff. FFA: Andy Richardson | 28m | |||
30 | ★★ Mr Meaner
A good, less steep offering. A hard start that can be done many ways sets you up for a good rest followed by great consistent climbing. A big crux move guards the anchor jugs and easier climbing. Conservation is the name of the game on this one. Soft, and a small number of (mostly tall) climbers take 29, but for now there is still a clear consensus that it's 30. FA: Justin Clark | 22m | |||
30 | ★★★ Mrs Silent
A slight variation to Zac's original vision for the line. Start as for "Mister Gluecklick for the first 3 bolts then straight up the flake and finish up "Theda Bara". Enjoy. FA: Stuart Simons, 29 Jun 2019 | ||||

An enjoyable outing. FA: Stuart Simons, 22 May 2019 |
