Routes as sport in The Black Bay

The right edge of the blank wall. Steep, overhanging, and so rewarding when you get it!

4m L of Turbodiesel Excavator and 2m R of Shut 'em Down. Start is the crux, then follow the inverted staircase past 4 ringbolts to lower-offs.

Climb the line 2 m L of “Crazy Horse”. Interesting moves and very 3D terrain.

Route starts 2m right of Turbodiesel Excavator and continues over two overlaps to anchors.

4m R of Crazy Horse and 2m L of Vombatia. Steep, gym-like climbing which will make you work for an on-sight. 5 ringbolts to lower-offs.

Start up loose rock left of first bolt (optional stick clip). Pass 2nd bolt with a hard move. Dyno through the roof (although it’s not the only way). Tricky moves with the anchor at you nose. Best clipped when you reach the jugs above.

Climb the aesthetic face on small holds. Starts 1m right of Month of Sundays. Follow bolts to DBB (hangers) below the roof. The FA was a culmination of much frustration, the purloining of red tape and the likely theft of my socks by a frog. The starting moves are easy, before some high stepping and reach testing is required. Then there is a spot of extra strong gravity, just before the angle eases and an anchor appears.

Follow four ring bolts through a significant traverse. Gear is required to use natural protection above the third bolt (0.5 to 1" cams in the cracks work well). No lower-offs.

Start at a thin flake crack on the right-hand side of Black Bay. Up crack past two ring bolts to obvious hand traverse and another ring bolt. Continue left to a small ledge and a hard move to a stance and another bolt, up a wall and into a large alcove. Through the overhanging crack on perfect finger locks to finish. Natural gear is required for the top section.

Start about 3m right of Split Personalties. Climb past 6BR to DBB with much broughaha.

The wall, mantle and jump about 5m right of TROTV with 5BR to DBB.
