1 The Waterfall Route

7m V2. Up to pocket break, then right to crimper line (match this), and to RH gaston. Finish directly. Not a winter route! Bad landing.

Start: Start left of cave at horizontal break.

21
Unknown 7m
2 Birdy

Climbs the short crimpy wall right of the cave starting at a big jug. Fingery climbing leads to a ledge, then more easily to the top. Established ground-up solo. Be careful of the rock.

FA: , 2007

Trad 7m
3 Confidence and Paranoia

Takes a steep but juggy start about 5m left of Trev - leading to the obvious hanging slab. Gain the good hold at base of slab and stretch up left for a sidepull. Mantle, then finish diagonally right up slab to top out. Established as a ground-up onsight solo.

FA: Steve Kelly, 2006

6 Nev

Used to be a very overgraded 20...

Trad 8m
7 Kev

A true boulder problem leading to an easy finish. From underclings, latch the sloper (easier if you go with your left) - then up to a large undercling and onwards. RH (on sloper) version is more committing at about V2.

23
Trad 8m
8 Ron the Cake

The attractive rampline on orange rock - leading to a vegetated crack just above a good handjam.

Trad 8m
9 * D-lusion

Route just left of Disjointed Illusion crack via jugs then crimps and a big move.

FA: Climb a meter or so left of disjointed - onto the slopy ledge, crimps then big open moves for about four or so moves then sketchy topout,

10 Disjointed Illusion

The wide crack.

13
Trad 8m
11 ** Snaggle Puss

One of the best lines here - and quite a boulder problem (though gear may be able to be arranged in the undercling). A direct line right of the crack, heading past the good finish jug of 'Pathetic Earthlings...' - straight up the face to the obvious large undercling (crux). Push into it and reach for the big break above.

23
Trad 8m
12 A Trick of the Tail

A slightly weird experience. Climb up the body-engulfing trench leading into the roof (behind the 'Nati Beast' launch boulder) - then make a committing series of moves out toward the sunlight (and onto the face). Finish up the obvious flakeline.

Trad 8m
13 ** Pathetic Earthings... Who Can Save You Now?

The biggest jump move in Adelaide? Lowest jug below A Trick of the Tail - double-handed to the big jug about 2m up.

FA: James Falconer,

Boulder 2m
14 * Fartin Flattin

Starts off the boulder and climbs the face direct - left of the Nati Beast arete - to join A Trick of the Tail. Originally TR'd on first ascent - hence the name change.

17 * The Shrinker

The good looking line on the righthand end of the cliff, with a steep start on good holds, then finishing more delicately just right of the corner.

Either way, taking the line of least resistance (but not touching the top).

FA: Paul Badenoch, 2009

Boulder 6m
28 ** Pathetic Earthlings

A massive 7'2" dyno, quite probably the biggest in 'South Australia'.
