Description:© (hotgemini)

A great small crag with a real intimate and cosy feel. Lots of enjoyably varied and intricate climbs in the low 20s.

Approach:© (hotgemini)

About 100 metres past point pure coming from the campground. Greene road turns off to the left, park off to the side near this intersection but DO NOT go down Greene ROAD. Instead follow the small footpad past the sign indicating the Green lane abseiling points.

1 DH3

2m R of AWITG. Filthy and lichenous. To see any action this route would need a thorough cleaning and bolting. Starts at the obvious undercling then straight up the wall on worsening slopes. Crux at 4.5m.

22 R

2 A walk in the garden

More like wading through compost. Stay away.

Start: Start in 110 degree corner 20 metres right of descent gully.

3 ** DH4

Previously the softest 22 in Queensland. Apologies to everyone who ticked this as their first at that grade. Still, it does offer some of the best rock at Brooyar. 6m R of TDC. Recently rebolted with three FH's to lower-off. Has a great mono pocket to play with.

4 The Dirty Corner

Not overly dirty, could be okay. 10m R of the descent gully is this ever-steepening naturally-protected corner with an exciting exit.

5 Coexisting With Insanity

The orange arête 1m L of TDC. 2 FH's to ledge, then up past a third FH to the top. You may wish to stickclip the first.

6 Thanks For The Fish

2m L. Grade 17 leaders will find the start requires a stern crank. Up wall past a two BR's before trending L to DBB. You might as well finish at the top of the cliff though.

7 Green eggs and spam

In between TFTF and BED, three FH's to chain. Herb retrobolted an old saul squires solo route.

8 Book Em' Danno

3m L of TFTF. First climb to the R of the descent gully. Starts a couple of metres left of TFTF at the small corner. Crux is down low. Up slabby wall past two BR's and DBB to overhung juggy top. The top out finish is apparently 16.

"Big, evil, overhung crack thing". The R-leaning overhung corner to ledge, then up crack to top. A bit grungy.

14 ** Uzis On Speed

Left of the crack is a nice orange corner and face, now rebolted with Rbs. Start in the crack corner. Up hard start on gear. Up into beautiful orange corner (wires). Clip bolt on R and step onto the excellent face. Up with #1.5 SLCD and Rb to rooflet below black face. Up L onto this huecoed face (cruxy) clipping final Rb (don't clip too early) and then up to the top (Chain).

15 ** Sea Of Fools

A couple of metres left. This climb has a very obvious face up the top covered in hundreds of pockets. Tricky overhung start past a BR onto deceptive slab with smallish SLCD. #4 SLCD in wide break, then up and clip SOT's FH out L with long sling. Now that excellent pocketed wall with a BR and a FH to the top.

17 ** Herb's Hammer

Chalked undercling and jugs (FH) to R-hand dyno. Over bulge (FH) and finish as for SOT (up the arête past a BR), alternatively gain an extra star by finishing up SOF's pocketed headwall.

Start: Start from boulder 2m L of SOT

18 ** Hate Crimes

A varied and technical classic. Start up overhanging corner L of SOT. Power up past first FH to break and obvious SLCD slot. Continue past 3 FH's. Difficulty in reading the sequence makes this a good onsight.

19 Sliding Into Cheeseburger Hell

A contrived variant finish to HC. Start as for HC to the third FH (clip with a long sling).Traverse 2m R to FH on face. Continue R, then power up to good hold, clipping a final FH back L. Finish easily.

22 No Ethics

Well-named route setting an unpleasant precedent (slots at the start of this route have been chipped - totally unacceptable). After blank wall, through overhang with some acrobatic moves. Two FHs, two BRs.
