Flinders Lane Area Mostly Trad climbing 24 routes in cliff

1m R of ML.

1. 15m (23) Bridge up a gap, then the seam with a piton.

2. 15m (21) You can either squirm up the back of the wide crack, or hand traverse the lip of the roof to the R arete and then up that.

3. 15m (22) Go R a few metres then take the fingers crack through the roof.

Start above Tahini, 6m L of Aristocrat (which is described in the Bluff Major section). The big roof goes on rurps and a bolt, and is the last unfreed aid climb at Arapiles. Dave Jones has spent some time on it and says it will go at about 32, so help yourself to the FFA.

The R-curving crack just R of Abdul. Awkward - but you've got to get up to Blockbuster Ledge somehow and this is the best easy option. Requires a few techniques from your bag of tricks to succeed.

The name is quite misleading as it is not a "direct start" to Scorpion but is actually quite a way left and is climbed completely independently. It is a good way to get to the Blockbuster Ledge though. Considered by some to be a bit of a sandbag, but I guess it is just an old fashioned grade 17. Start 10m R of I.

A low roof then into the beautiful corner. The gear is adequate but it's critical that you get certain pieces just right as they are a little spaced at times.

Links Scorpion Corner into Scorpion, possibly the way Hot Henry Barber did it. For full value and the full tick don't step onto the ledge at the top of Scorpion Corner but instead go through the steep roof crack on good jams to enter Scorpion after the step across.

A pleasant link from Flinders Lane to below Missing Link. Climb the steepish seam up the wall across right from Scorpion Corner, 3-4m right of the slimy access corner.
