Eventually you come to the belay chain.ģ0m (22) An excellent pitch with a couple of tricky sections to keep things interesting. A 60cm sling for an obvious thread can mitigate the runout. Now climb up and up and up, mainly on jugs, but even so there is one unnerving run out section. After a very hard start move trend right up the ramp. Facing the cliff, the route starts on a ledge a few metres up and to the left of where you touch down with a single bolt belay.Ĥ5m (22) A long pitch. 30m to the mid height rap chain followed by a 40m rap to the bottom of the route. It is possible to rap and pull ropes if you build an anchor that gets over the top edge. Fix a 70m rope to these anchors and rap down to the major vegetated starting ledge. Do NOT rap off the 2 carrot bolts a few metres further left. There are 2 ringbolts to rap off hidden back from the edge obscured by some bushes. There is a well beaten dirt track leading to this spot (it's a popular Instagram selfie area) From the lookout the rap point is on the small but obvious rock platform 30m down and to the left. Start: Make your way to the lookout on the Prince Henry Cliff Walk directly below the Katoomba side of the Scenic Skyway. This route no longer requires bolt plates. Long runners are useful to reduce rope-drag and for a thread on pitch 1. This route can be done as a run-out sport route (bring 15+ draws) or a saner mixed route with the addition of a single set of cams from #0.75 to #3 Camalot. There have been reported incidents of police meeting climbers on the top-out after tourists thought the climbers were stuck and rang 000.
On a busy weekend expect to be hassled and photographed relentlessly. This route is highly visible to the tourist hoards passing overhead on the Scenic Skyway cablecar and nearby lookouts. One of the best mini-multis for a quick, exposed and scenic adventure in the Blue Mountains.
