---|---|---|---|---|---|
27 | Isle of the Green-Hatted Wombat
Start about 20m left of Krusty the Climb, and 20m R of Slay Ride, at a prominent red shale blob. Stick clip a staple above the vegetated undercut, traverse 8m to the right, then up to an anchor in the black rock about 5m from the top. FA: S.Grkovic, 2000 | 25m | |||
24 | ★ Krusty the Climb
The longest stick clip at Shipley, and the batman is quite a rope shredder too. Start 20m L of Supercal, at a gap in the handrail where it bends to a post embedded in a boulder. FA: K.McKenzie, 1999 | 20m | |||
26 | ★★★ Grand Junction
Another route that is unfairly overshadowed by its 'three star' neighbours. Up the log and first two bolts as for The Eviscerator then traverse 5m L to the lefthand line of bolts. FA: G.Weigand, 1987 | 25m | |||
28 | ★★ The Eviscerator
Excellent. Very thin and technical up the orange wall to a nip in the tail. Save it for a cool day. Straight up off the log. FA: Megan Turnbull, 2001 | 30m | |||
26 | ★★★ Supercallousfragileextradosage
A very popular route, and one that seems to be a good introduction to the grade - probably due to the plethora of bolts at the crux. Start as for GJ, stick clip recommended, then take the righthand line of bolts off this log. FA: S. Grkovic, 1999 | 25m, 13 | |||
25 | ★★ Silently Flying By
Start 5m right of Supercal, up the log just to the right of the end of the railing. The crux will have you silently flying. Bye! FA: M.Turnbull, 2000 | 25m | |||
24 | ★★ Land of Green Navels
Needs medium cams (BD #0.5-2). There's no need to touch the sandy broken flake R of the 2nd last bolt. Keep climbing through the roof (past the fixed carabiner) to chain anchor. A 60m rope works. FA: M.Baker, 1989 | 30m, 10 | |||
23 | ★★★ Alliterating Austrian Ostrich
Long, sustained - excellent. One of the longest routes at Shipley. Start as for SFB for a bolt then long traverse right, hard crux, then pump until oblivion with a left trend through the steepness to finish. USE A 60M+ ROPE minimum. FA: S.Grkovic, 2000 | 30m | |||
23 | ★★★ Weak as I am
USE A 60M+ ROPE. One of the best routes on the whole wall - sustained but no definite crux (unlike many routes on this wall). Start about 15m R of AAO at the next log. This is the left line of the three. FA: S.Grkovic, 1999 | 22m, 13 | |||
23 | ★★ Golliwog Grades
Up the log (stick clip recommended, as with all the log starts), then straight up. Great moves with a powerful little slab to a tricky, annoying, probably undergraded finish. FA: S.Grkovic, 1999 | 25m, 13 | |||
24 | ★★ Displaced Persons
USE A 60M+ ROPE (tie a knot). Good long route but often dirty from runoff. Start as for WAIA, stick clip recommended. FA: S.Moon & J.Smoothy, 1986 | 33m | |||
23 | ★★ Mental Mantle
Start: Lefthand route off the 4th access tree. After the silly runout this is one of the best 23s at Shipley. FA: M.Pircher, 2000 | 27m | |||
25 | ★★ Dance Like a Mother
Right hand route off the log. Mostly cruisy grade 22ish climbing - then a final sting in the tail at the end. Use a 60m rope! FA: M. Stacey & G. Bradbury, 1992 | 30m |
