Area description

Narrow Neck is a long, thin plateau that extends south from Katoomba. Narrow Neck is a historic Blue Mountains climbing destination; Diamond Falls has Australia's first 35/9a, Retired Extremely Dangerous, sent in 2013 by Alex Megos. The Narrow Neck crags are potentially the oldest climbing area in the Blue Mountains.
