About Blue Mountains — Medlow Bath

Medlow Bath is a spread of sport-climbing sectors along the escarpment above the Megalong Valley, about 15–20 minutes' walk from the end of Belgravia Street and close to Medlow Bath station. It is known for plenty of good lower-grade climbing on routes up to about 55m. Most sectors face west to south-west and get the afternoon sun, which makes it a good choice on a cool day. Some sectors cross private land, so stick to the established access. The sandstone is soft when wet: wait at least 24 hours after rain.
