Centennial Glen
One of the original sport crags in the mountains, Centennial Glen is still an incredibly popular crag, particularly
since many of the routes have been rebolted in the last couple of years.
The crag mainly caters for hard climbers, with almost all of the routes being 20+. Given the large number of well
equipped routes, however, it's a convenient place to dog away at a few projects.
The guidebooks for the area are the "Rockclimbs in the Upper Blue Mountains (2nd Edition)" and the more recently
published "Blue Mountains Selected Climbing Areas" guides.
The following climb is one of the first ones you pass on your way into the Glen.
Billy Bunter 12m 19
Not a bad little route at all, with good rock and surprisingly steep for the grade (in the Blueys at least!).
6 (manky!) BRs to a chain lower off.
The following two climbs are located just past the waterfall, just before the main wall.
Ruddy Norry 14m 22
Another good little route with a hard pull off the deck (get your belayer to spot you) then just one more hard
move past the 3rd BR. 4 BRs to double RB lower off.
Ratcat 14m 24
Good sustained climbing with two cruxes (one at half height, one right near the top) and some really reachy moves
in between. BR (shared with RN - optional), then another 6 or so RBs to double RB lower off just below the roof at
the top.
The following climb is the only climb on a small grey wall midway between Centennial Glen and Wave Wall.
Dr Foopsickle 14m 21 (originally graded 20)
A really good little sequence up a fine, deceptively steep wall. 4 RBs to double RB lower off (note: left lower off
ring is loose).
The following climb is located on the right hand end of Wave Wall.
Jaws 14m 21
A great bit of steep jugging, with just two hard moves up high. Take care before the first bolt - it's quite high
and the rock lower down isn't the most confidence inspiring...
