Burnt Out

Best route at the crag.

Start: Start as for May Day. At May Day's traverse left continue straight up corner and start of head wall past three BR's to break, #3 camalot, then continue past one more BR (hard clip) to run it out to the top (possible wires).

FA: Adam Demmert & Alastair Hudson, 2005

An atmospheric adventure up the left side of the main wall with a fair bit of loose rock in the upper half. Start behind the conifer 5m R of 'Napalm Sunday'. Up the grey slab then follow easy ramp L to steep orange cracks and through small roof. 'Excellent' view.

FA: Steve Chapman & Kaz Anwin, 2005

Starts 3m left of Ralph's Journey on right side of cleft separating right and left walls. Climb the right side of the cleft to the top.

FA: Rob Booth & Steve Chapman, 2005

Top roped only. Rob has drilled the holes, but no bolts as yet as he ran out of daylight. Starts 4 meters right of 'Burnt Out' behind the detached small

pillar. A few big moves on sketchy feet to nice climbing on the leftward leaning upside-down staircase.

FA: Rob Booth & Steve Chapman, 2005

Ralph's Journey

Sustained with sinker wires.

Start: Start behind clump of callitris 5m right of cleft seperating right and left walls.

Starts 8m L of 'The Crib'. Up horizontal bulges to seam. Up this to top.

FA: Robin Holmes, Steve Chapman & Michael O'Reilly, 2004

Start: 10m up and left of 'Flying Possum'.

FA: Rob Booth & Steve Chapman, 2005

Elle McFerret

Great climbing on excellent rock. Starts 3m right of blunt arête. Boulder start to gain crack (protected with a good, shallow wire at full stretch). Bomber gear and sustained climbing to below roof. Committing pull past bulge via crimps in the black streak to good #2 camalot placement.

FA: Steve Chapman, Michael O'Reilly & Robin Holmes, 2004

Klytus

Starts 6m left of Battling the Bulge. Climb the prominent right leading corner to FH. A strenuous right rising traverse past a 2nd FH brings a jug to hand and a cramped rest. Move left and climb tricky crack to rap rings.

FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2000

Start 3m L of 'Napalm Sunday'. Up crack then step L at second horizontal then up loose shallow corner.

FA: Robin Holmes & Steve Chapman, 2004

FA: Steve Chapman, Ross Timms, Tuesday Phelan, 2005

Starts 4m L of Where's Mum? at RB. Bouldery start just R of bolt. Right to Where's Mum?'s bolt, back left on jugs to crib. Have a lie down and cry, then up easily.

FA: Steve Chapman, 2005

FA: Steve Chapman & Ross Timms, 2005

Boulder up to horizontal. Step R into the finger crack and up.

FA: Michael O'Reilly, Steve Chapman & Robin Holmes, 2004

Ants Pants

Start 5m R of 'Elle McFerret' at termite nest. Bouldery start past fixed wire to crack. Crack to finish. Note: Start can be aided to give sustained crack climbing at about 24.

FA: Michael O'Reilly, Robin Holmes & Steve Chapman, 2004

Crack?

FA: Tuesday Phelan & Anne Redfern, 2005

Celebrity Rooter

A fine route marred slightly by a fragile exit. Starts 2m left of blunt arête at left end of first wall. Follow twin cracks to good holds and gear at steepening. Committing climbing to ledge. Step right to belay and rap anchors. Initial escape was off right past dodgy tree and above. Alternatively up big chimney.

FA: Steve Chapman & Robin Holmes, 2004

The Lying Rodent

Climb the crack with difficulty to the ledge. Climb over the bulging buttress and the short corner above to the ledge. Organise protection and then traverse left one metre to the arête. This is the right arête of the major orange wall. Climb the arête in a fabulous position to the next ledge. Finish up the crack above, or the arête on the left. Belay on the large ledge. Scramble up to the top and down climb the pinnacle at the back.

Start: Starts at the short splitter finger crack on the small wall just right of the major orange wall.
