  <header access="The base of Whitewater Wall can be reached by following a rough track which begins where the old road first meets the top of the cliff. From the cliff top, head north (along the top of the cliff) to follow an indistinct pad to a rock cairn that marks the start of the descent (100m or so from where you first get the cliff top). The descent can be tricky in parts. Head down via a series of steps to a big terrace which is directly north of Whitewater Wall (above Light Fingered Madison Buttress). Scramble behind the notch at the southern end of the terrace and down a short corner to the base of the wall. The large aplite dyke which crosses the wall from left to right is Apline. Again, the climbs are described left to right, but you&apos;ll encounter them right to left." acknowledgement=" " history="" intro="" name="Whitewater Wall" rock="White granite, 10-50m" sun="Morning sun" walk="5 min" id="1" camping="" autonumber="true"/>

This is the left line opposite the detached knob. It crosses Apline at about 8m. Climb the crack. Best done in more than one pitch.</climb>
  <climb name="Lace Thunder" id="15" extra="" grade="12" length="45m" number="15." stars="" fa="L.Closs, I.Lewis, May 1974.">The right hand line of the two near the separate knob. Climb to the big cave type hollow and out the top right of this then straight to the top.</climb>
  <text class="Discussion" id="16">The part of the wall right of Lace Thunder has been climbed on in every possible spot. There is little harder than grade 14 and it is probably the best climbing of this grade in the state. Two immaculate lines have been picked out as they are just so good - as for the rest, go for your lives.</text>
  <climb name="A.N. Other" id="67" extra="" grade="16" length="5om" number="16." stars="**" fa="B. Baxter climbed it in 2008 although he is certain it will have been climbed before!">10m to the R of Lace Thunder is a square cave-like chimney - about 2m further R, just L of a short L-facing corner, the wall is split by a steep finger crack. Climb the crack and then straight up the wall above on smaller and smaller holds. For full value, stay out of the gritty crack on the L and Unnamed on the R and finish over the final bulge. The protection towards the top, where the climbing gets harder, is sparse but adequate.</climb>
  <climb name="Unnamed" id="17" extra="" grade="15" length="55m" number="17." stars="**" fa="">Although no first ascent details are known, this excellent and commonly climbed route is at the extreme RH end of the Wall. Start at a short steep wall a couple of metres to the L of the end of the main wall itself. Climb up to a break and then follow either a left trending crack line or more directly up a second, steeper, line to the final bulge of the previous climb. Finish over the bulge or walk off left.</climb>
  <climb name="Prancing in Pink" id="18" extra="" grade="19" length="80m" number="18." stars="" fa="N.Duhig, G.Jordan, late, 1988.">On big ledge ~15m above platform on right hand end of Whitewater Wall. 1). Climb left to belay in Earthy Dilemma. 2). Keep traversing left past bolt on No Turn Unstoned and drop down to traverse along After the Goldrush. 3). Finish up Slaughterhouse Five.</climb>
  <text class="heading3" id="21">Light Fingered Maddison Buttress</text>
  <text class="text" id="22">The Light Fingered Maddison Buttress is the compact wall rising out of the sea to the north of Whitewater Wall. Routes here are condition dependent, but the rock quality here is excellent. Best accessed by walking fifty or so metresabout 50m at sea-level to the north of Whitewater Wall. Routes from Rent a Rocket onwards are best via abseil, although Rent a Rocket itself can be accessed via a short traverse from the left.</text>

  <climb name="Crank" id="40" extra="" grade="20" length="18m" number="2931." stars="" fa="D.Stephenson, J.Otlowski, Dec 1990.">Just right of the arête. Bouldery start and up the right diagonal crack. Back left to the horizontal break and up the seam just right of the arête. It's a bit contrived avoiding the easy crack on the left, but fun off the ground.</climb>
  <climb name="Quartet" id="41" extra="" grade="17" length="18m" number="3032." stars="" fa="D, L.Stephenson, J, Marg Otlowski, Dec 1990.">The slab right of the arête. Pull up on to the slab, climb to the horizontal break and head right up the ramp.</climb>

  <text class="text" id="45">Morning Glory Rocks (which get the early rising sun) are situated above The Prow. Access is down the Whitewater Wall track to the point where it leaves the she-oaks but before descending the wide rock gully. At this point go north for 20 meters.</text>

  <text class="heading3" id="49">Tango Towers</text>
  <text class="description" id="50">To find the following climbs head pretty much straight downhill, northish, from the campsite opposite the toilet. You'll follow a ridge type feature down to an orange block. Head around to the left of this and go back right when you get near the water. You'll end up in a small zawn. Tango Towers is predominantly in the shade.</text>
  <climb name="A Friend in Need" id="51" grade="20" length="20m" number="3840." stars="" fa="Nick Hancock, Andrew Bissett, Apr 2001.">Deep in the zawn is a roof with an obvious horizontal line below it. This route is a hand traverse of this line, from right to left. The first pitch is fun, the second is crap and loose, I've included it only as a deterrent to any would-be suitors keen to get their name in the book - don't go near it, it's worthless and been done. 1) Follow the horizontal line from right to left, finishing on the slab. Gear and rock are good. 2) Grab the jug, chin up to the layaway and head on up. Gear and rock are crap.</climb>
  <climb name="One Move Wonder" id="52" grade="22" length="12m" number="3941." stars="" fa="Nick Hancock, Oct 2000.">On the next pinnacle right. Start at the groove on the right of the face. A few tricky moves up left (crux) lead to the horizontal. Easier climbing leads to the top.</climb>
  <climb name="Sling Your Hook" id="53" extra="" grade="20" length="15m" number="4042." stars="" fa="Nick Hancock, Aug 2000.">On the next pinnacle to the right. Start on the left of the face. Head up for a few meters and work right to the arête at the horizontal. Follow the arête and face to the next horizontal, and then the line to the top. Protection is not great, but a sneakily slung spike edge may ease the tension for a while (until it falls off when you're in the middle of the crux).</climb>
  <climb name="The Small Things In Life" id="54" extra="" grade="21" length="12m" number="4143." stars="*" fa="Nick Hancock, Carol Hurst, Aug 2000.">The thin left trending seam 3m left of Up the Ante. Up past an undercling flake, to follow the seam left to the arête. A tricky mantle leads to the top. The gear on this route is not great (small hard to arrange RP's), but the climbing is good.</climb>
  <climb name="Up the Ante" id="55" extra="" grade="18" length="12m" number="4244." stars="" fa="N.Hancock, C.Hurst, Oct 2000.">Approximately 14m left of All Hands to the Pump. The right hand arête of the next pinnacle. The crux is off the ground and the gear after this is good.</climb>
  <climb name="Orange Crush" id="56" extra="" grade="20" length="10m" number="4345." stars="**" fa="R.Parkyn, A.Bissett, N.Hancock, Aug 2002.">Clip the bolt and climb the face to another via the tricky start. Follow the holds up and left, crossing the wide diagonal crack ( 4 camalot) to gain a third bolt. Head past this up the orange face to the top (mid-sized cams to belay).</climb>
  <climb name="All Hands to the Pump" id="57" grade="22" length="15m" number="4446." stars="**" fa="N.Hancock, C.Hurst, Aug 2000.">On the semi-detached orange topped pinnacle nearest the sea. Start up the line on the east to gain a ledge. Continue steeply through the bulge and on to the top via the sparsely protected open groove.</climb>
  <text class="heading3" id="58">Tango Towers - Right Side</text>
  <text class="text" id="59">If you are looking at the Tango Towers from the sea, around on the RHS towards Bluestone Bay is a 6m high, gently overhanging wall with a striking crack spliting in the middle. It is about 2 minutes' walk from the Tango Towers main area. These four climbs are on this wall.</text>
  <climb name="Generation Y" id="60" extra="" grade="18" length="6m" number="4547." stars="" fa="Will Bartlett and Alex Lewis, Sep 2009">On the left hand side on the wall there is a thrutchy pink band. Up this. Move right to top out.</climb>
  <climb name="Generation O" id="61" extra="" grade="19" length="6m" number="4648." stars="*" fa="Alex Lewis and Will Bartlett, Sep 2009">The thin, striking crack. Quite a nice bouldery sequence straight off the ground with some dynamic moves. Once the juggy horizontal break is reached, top out straight up. Red and Green C3's protect the lower moves.</climb>
  <climb name="A Bit of Alright" id="62" extra="" grade="14" length="6m" number="4749." stars="" fa="Alex Lewis and Will Bartlett, Sep 2009">Beginning on the lower RHS of the wall is a juggy horizontal break that moves left and up. Follow this to join Generation O.</climb>
  <climb name="Good Stuff" id="63" extra="" grade="19" length="4m" number="4850." stars="" fa="A.Lewis and W.Bartlett, Sep 2009">The RHS of the wall culminates in an overhanging prow. Climb this without going too far left or right. Might be a boulder problem, unsure of this as it could easily be done with mats.</climb>
