A time-honoured bumbly classic. So named because of its abrasive properties, this route follows the large, prominent chimney on the E face. When you're wedged in the chimney, spare a thought for when this was climbed with nothing more than a rope and a couple of slings! Start: Beneath the L-leaning pocketed crack 5m or so L of where the E face walking track meets the rock (35m L of the Caves Route). Marked 'CC'.

16 R | ★ Donkey Kong
Inspired by the activity on Carborundum Wall in 2019. Aptly named for the the zig-zagging nature of the route and a couple of random boulders dislodged along the way. This is an adventure route that takes you into some very impressive country with some wild positions. Routes lengths are unverified. Gear: A single rack to #3 and a set of wires. Due to the traversing nature of the climb, it is best to bring at least 6 extenders.
Decent: Either finish up the excellent final pitch of Airtime over Pumicestone (Grade 19, 40m) or rappel the route from where you are. Three rappels with 2 x 60m ropes will bring you to the ground. FA: Hamish Ousby & Jay, 27 Oct 2019 | 150m, 5, 7 | |||

Take wires and cams to #3, with a strong emphasis on small cams such as aliens.
Either scramble up 50m to summit and walk off, or rap the route. | 250m, 6, 24 | |||
20 R | ★★ Cold Case
An old school adventure with everything you know and love about Tibro - marginal gear, questionable rock, weird slabs and plenty of exposure! The name is a nod to the pioneers of yesteryear who encouraged us to put this route up in traditional ground-up style, as well as a reference to the relics found enroute which suggest it was attempted and abandoned some decades previous. Gear: Single rack to #3 Camalot with doubles/triples in microcams such as X4's or Aliens. RP's, ball nuts recommended. Double ropes and a VERY solid leader mandatory.
Descent: Either finish up the excellent final pitch of Airtime over Pumicestone (Grade 19, 40m) or carefully follow the vegetated ridge down and right to a DBB under a small alcove. Three rappels with 2x 60m ropes will bring you to the ground. FA: Alex Mougenot & Ryan Siacci, 30 May 2019 | 200m, 4 |
