27 | ★★ Project ,ross.
| 10m | Mt Beerwah | ||
16 | ★ Break Of Noon
Starts 60m down past the Mr.Busy pillar. About 15m below right of Reflections. This route has some poor rock and an abundance of loose blocks and detached flakes due constant north sun exposure. The crux at 30m on first pitch is protected by a single carrot bolt and the belay consists of 2 FH. The second belay is a rusty piton + gear in the crack behind. The whole route can be rapped, but the tape on the anchors will need replacing. A better option is to exit to the tourist track = an easy scramble or a short bush-bash through thick scrub on the right will lead to the faint knob track. You will need 2x60m ropes to rap this route. Can be lead on a single rope, if walking off. FA: Pitch 1, 2, 3: Darrin Carter, John Hattink 22/12/1996, Pitch 3 (extension), 4, 5 Wayne Meith & Darrin Carter 30/07/2004 | 200m, 4 | Mt Beerwah | ||

3 | ★★ West Track (Tourist Track)
Tourist Track. Slippery and well worn. From the carpark, follow the NP signage: ★★ West Track (Tourist Track) 3 - 20230413_115159-sr.jpg up the increasingly steep track, to the intimidating start (colloquially called "Chicken Rock", because many day-trippers choose to turn back at this point). In the V groove, top left corner, the steep start is about a grade 5 or 6 and access here is slightly overhanging: ★★ West Track (Tourist Track) 3 - Chicken Rock but an easier start can be found down right, about 15m right of a large tree: David Duffy on ★★ West Track (Tourist Track) 3 - Chicken Rock up the sloping face, on good holds, about grade 3. Once this hurdle has been overcome, the remainder of the climbing then becomes an easy scramble at about grade 0-2, to the summit. | 340m | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
2 | ★★ East Beerwah
An excellent alternative to the Hiker's route. This route has frequent red paint marks from base to summit. A well formed downhill track starting just east from the carpark at S26.89052, E152.88797 will lead to the beginning of the route. From here scramble up easy slabs traversing towards north-west following the marks. The track then climbs straight up for the central part followed by a leftward traverse on easy slabs to a small cave before veering right and up to an exposed and highly scenic finish to the summit. An alternate finish to this route that goes north at the top (but a bit more exposed) is mapped at https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1ULqnVajNBViUxVymtbjh6jbnrcM&ll=-26.89356304264415%2C152.88713100000007&z=17 | 390m | Mt Beerwah | ||
15 | ★★ Gyroscope
Marked 'G'. Juggy climbing up the groove to a grass tree blocking the corner. Climb around this and up easy crack to finish. Good protection throughout most of this long route. FA: Dave Kahler & Steve Bell | 45m | Mt Ngungun | ||

17 | Cantankerous Cantelope
Marked 'CC'. Hard for the grade. Under-protected up a thin crack line to a ledge. From the ledge, climb crack system to top. A confident leader is required. FA: Dave Kahler & Steve Bell | 35m | Mt Ngungun | ||
24 | ★★ Acid VF
As for the first 4 bolts of Acid, but instead of breaking left, continue up the rightmost line of bolts past 3 more FH's to Acid's anchors. Some discontinuous, but enjoyable and intriguing climbing that skirts under the top of the ravine. Worthwhile, and soft for the grade. | 25m | Mt Ngungun | ||
26 | ★★★ LSD
Link up. Climb Acid to it's second last bolt, then head straight up through the corner feature that is the last section of BFI, passing a FH to final mantle. Avoids the cruxes of Acid and BFI. The antithesis to Idaho Sunshine. | 25m, 8 | Mt Ngungun | ||

13 | ★ Quango Quagmire
A bit manky but fun. The first line of FH's on the wall. The start is easier but less fun if going up from the right. Some long draws/runners help with rope drag at the top section | 18m, 7 | Mt Ngungun | ||
15 | ★ Galaxy Quest
A traverse spanning the entire Andromeda main wall, as well as Legends Wall. Starts and ends on the ground, so it can be climbed from right to left, or left to right. Can be done in a single pitch with an 80m rope if you manage the clips well (so as to avoid unnecessary wandering of the rope, and rope drag). Alternatively, it can be split into two pitches (e.g. belay at Worm Hole’s anchors). As it is a traverse, take special care whether leading or seconding, as a fall could result in a body scraping pendulum. The climb uses 26 bolts from various climbs. Some clips should be extended with slings. To avoid the wrath of other climbing parties, reserve this climb for a quiet weekday with no one else at the crag. The first ascent was climbed right to left, starting at Absolute Zero, as follows: 1st bolt of Absolute Zero – extended with a 60cm sling 2nd bolt of Graviton 3rd bolt of Mars – extended with a 60cm sling 3rd bolt of Horse Head Nebula 4th bolt of Alien Encounter Anchor bolt of Asteroid Belt - extended with a 120cm sling Anchor bolt of Solar Eclipse 4th bolt of Gravitational Equilibrium 4th bolt of Interstellar Journey - extended with a 60cm sling 4th bolt of Southern Cross - extended with a 120cm sling 5th bolt of Worm Hole - extended with a 60cm sling (Can belay off anchors if climbing in two pitches) 2nd bolt of Coal Sack 4th bolt of More Dark Matter - extended with a 60cm sling 4th bolt of Lunar Eclipse 4th bolt of Event Horizon Anchor bolt of Star Dust - extended with a 60cm sling Anchor bolt of Nebula Anchor bolt of Orbital Tether - extended with a 60cm sling Anchor bolt of Black Hole - extended with a 120cm sling 4th bolt of Dugglebutt And The Bus Of Awesome - extended with a 60cm sling 3rd bolt of TJ Rothschild - extended with a 60cm sling 4th bolt of Mr. Rowland And The 100 weeks Of Awesome - extended with a 60cm sling 4th bolt of The Spitz Roy Massif 3rd bolt of Join The ACAQ And Become A Legend - extended with a 60cm sling 2nd bolt of Old Gramps Reeve And His Bodacious Babe 1st bolt of Do Not Shit In The Woods At High Traffic Crags, then back to the ground.

17 | ★ Gone Cruisin'
Marked 'GC'. Hard for the grade. A bold and somewhat under-protected crack climb. This thin subtle corner requires confident crack work. Similar to 'Cantankerous Cantelope'. FA: Steve Bell & Dave Kahler | 30m | Mt Ngungun | ||
18 | ★ Dark Matter
Between the Coal Sack crack and Worm Hole. A hard start, up the vertical face, to 3rd bolt, then easier finish to anchor. FA: Unknown Set: David Reeve, 2014 | 17m, 6 | Mt Ngungun | ||

4 | ★★ Caves Route Variant
This is the easy alternative to the original Caves Route's Chimney, which, minus the original log, is pretty stiff. Most rock climbers & seasoned bush walkers will choose to climb this unroped, whilst this description is aimed at those roped ascents.
FA: | 500m, 9 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||

18 | Better You Than Me

13 | ★★ Mopoke Slabs
The start of this climb is about 400m to the right of Pilgrim's Progress and is supposedly marked by a large grey gum tree with a heavy top and a badly burnt base. Who knows if it's still there? Two short pitches traverse to the left and a steep 20m wall is climbed directly to a veranda of shrubbery. The climbing continues until a series of small overhangs are reached. Traverse right and then continue up the weathered walls until a short traverse left leads to the south-west shoulder. FA: W. Peascod, N. Lamb & L. Upfold 1960s | 260m | Mt Beerwah | ||

Marked 'A'. Up the crack then thrutch up the black squeeze chimney to finish. Removes plenty of knee skin! FA: Unknown | 20m | Mt Ngungun | ||
16 | ★★ Banshee to Cyclop Cave Linkup Route
This is a good route linking the base of Banshee long chimney with the lower Cyclop cave, in an airy diagonal traverse on the right. The first 20m are easy climbing with 4 good placements, passing a carrot bolt. The mid section (crux) is exposed, extremely thin and runout. Below the cave the route gets easier but long runouts are unavoidable. The Cyclop cave offers also a sheltered bivouac if needed. FA: Russell Denny | 55m, 1 | Mt Beerwah | ||
26 | ★★★ Into The Morgue
The obvious right trending line, to the right of Out Of The Blue. Follow shallow crack system and boulder to the ledge aka The Morgue. FA: Mark Moorhead FFA: Cal & Adam Donoghue, 5 Nov 2019 | 40m, 2 | Mt Tibrogargan | ||
Sit start roof (Open Project)
Sit start under the roof. Climb your way out and mantle out using the arete and blank slab left of choss face. Multiple ways to start however lower will be harder. Should be a decently hard problem. | Mt Beerwah | ||||

V0 | ★ Low hanging fruit.
Stand from grassy start. Mantle on crumbly holds. Sit start might be better | Mount Beerburrum | |||
17 | ★★ Oppression Obsession
ACCESS: The start of this climb is on Leftist wall, the obvious wall level with the 3rd pitch of Traxion Action on climbers left. Access the wall by doing the first 2 1/2 pitches of Traxion Action. On the third pitch follow easy ground but keep trending left to Leftist wall before you start up the ridge of Traxion Action. The small tree at the base marks the start of the climb. RACK:
ABOUT: This route is a linkup with the first 2 and a half pitches of Traxion Action, and then joining back in at pitch 7. There is a direct top out with a scramble around to the tourist track but the best finish is up Traxion Action. This climb is mixed and runout at times. A great step up from Traxion Action for those looking for a challenge or to improve their skills in adventure climbing.
