L arête of main face, finish at the big jug or top out if your brave

Highball on crimps and pebbles

Technical highball

A low L to R traverse of the main front face starting at SA and finishing at the conglomerate jugs on the track end.

Brilliant line on superb orange rock. Originally done with old couch cushions and a swag for mats!

Amazing line of pockets, try not to cross up hands in sequence. A must do!

Dyno from low central pocket to large pocket, traverse left on pockets to large pebble then up.

Mossy top out.

Amazing pockets all along the lip of a very steep Boulder. R to L traverse and top out of the uphill face of the Margalef Boulder.

Far L, L leading flake, sketching landing.

The middle line of pebbles

Start down in the chimney on the L wall, traverse L tothe R end of the break and make a big move up to the top.

Long and highball. Mantle into the cave on the L and traverse the break with average feet before following the pockets up the wall to the high break.

L to R traverse on pockets and crimps from stone wall to stone wall.

Start as for KIITF, up to the break and onto the slab, before climbing the face up to the L of the arete to the roof. Step R and up to the anchors of KIITF.

Start at the L end of La Familia wall at the base of the arete. Up the short face, traverse the break L and step up onto the slab. Up this and then R and up onto the short arete to the top and lower off.

L to R and back again if you strong enough, mega rock and holds with bad feet

Start on the small rail above the RD graffiti and go straight up.

Good fun, harder than it looks. Start at the same jug as for S but go up L to odvious small flake horn before mantling.

Superb Grampians rock on a cool overhung arête feature. Low sit start and power through some compression moves past the break to the final big crimp move and top out. Possibly done previous to this ascent?

Start as for Scenic, do this first compression move before swing R on jugs and mantling.

Start L on L and traverse up R on jugs and slopes to mantle

Start R on L and traverse up L on jugs and slopes to final crimp crusher move of Scenic

Bu start on low L flake R of Scenic

Starts just above the crack in the black rock right of LL. Up through pockets and mantle on lichenous pebbles.

Up and out from corner inside cave. High!

Up Blunt Arete.

A few pads here.

Broken landing.

Mats and a good spot here.

Tricky start in crack.

Start at small broken flake under boulder, traverse left along big rail. Hooks and smears.

Low and confined.

Traverse on lip to easy top out.

Watch for glass!

Sit start on the R arête of the L hand Boulder at the bid square hold. Straight up to to the big flat side pull and mantle the top.

The R edge of the Boulder that forms the R side of the mini corner. Sit start.

Start on the L edge of the Boulder with the horizontal crack at a crimp and slope. Traverse R into E and finish up this. Was easier but the holds where a bit flaky.

Sit start R of YH below the horizontal. Straight to the top mantle.

Stand start with the big flat hold just R of E. Use only the R arête for the rest of the holds to the top jug.

The obvious crack up the centre of the R (or) main boulder.

Sit start in the middles of the cut rock(jug). Pull up heading slightly right and moving left foot up and over the cut rock/starting jug area. Some small crimps as you head straight up and slightly to the right.

This boulder is across the walking track looking up towards the hill. Low start from the right side of the boulder. There are 2 small pockets 1 for the left hand and 1 for the right. Move up to smaller crimps and then traverse across the left and up and out.

L of TL is a prominent arete with a steep R face. Follow the R side of this arete.

Superb steep and technical climbing, packs in a lot for 20m. Line heading up R from C. Climb C till the 4th RB then head R and up the steep wall, keep L of the slab corner.

An easy beginners' climb on small clifline L of where old track ascends cliff. Start at the ladder like recess.

Wall several metres L of descent gully.

Wall R of descent gully.

The nearest I can figure is that this climbs the crack on the face to the Left of Kidstuff, assuming that Kidstuff takes the line in the chimney/gully.

Layback crack 8m R of DG Line L of bush, then directly to roof.

Start is marked (T1). Directly up crack, veer slightly left about halfway up onto slab, exit via gully on the left. Nice easy warm up piece.

Start is marked (T1). Directly up crack, veer slightly left about halfway up onto slab, exit via gully on the left. Nice easy warm up piece.

Start marked (TN). Nose to roof. Step R and ascend wall.

Start marked (BC). One of the first climbs completed at The Rock. Chimney formed by large block. Veer slightly R up wall, then gully. Two alternative finishes are on wall L of exit gully. Line closest to gully is grade 10; line further L is grade 8.

Start marked (T2). Corner, then pleasantly up wall. Veer slightly R to roof. Traverse R under roof to easiest line on R side of overhang. Slight bulge, then directly up.

Start marked (HH). Crack, then finish by way of BC's gully.

Some delicate footwork whilst on side pulls gets you to an easier finish. Start as for HH, boulder up R to RB then straight up the wall to lower off on ledge.

Start marked (MF). Crack up to small overhang, step left onto slab, up to wide ledge then exit via chimney (BC's gully). Ledge can be used for top belay if done in two pitches.

A good climb if one resists the temptation to escape to easier climbing on L. Start just L of Terminator. R side of face. First crux face is protected by 3 BRs. Rest of route is adequately protected by gear. From horizontal, move R to join Terminator (best finish) or step L through bushes and up face to a large ledge. Continue up gully or climb unprotected roof (20/21) on R side of gully.

One of The Rock's classic test-pieces. Start Marked. Start 1m L of Scratched Knees on top of rock. Up L side of recess through spectacular roof line. Turn lower roof on L using prominent hold on L wall to gain halfway ledge of Traverse #2. (Belay possible under main roof but don't bother) Turn second roof using underclings, then large jam-crack to reach jugs on lip. Wall above. (Both roofs easier than they look)

Start marked (SK). Starts 1m R of Terminator (just L of large nose). R side of recess and overhang to roof. Don't pike on R, but head straight up through roof and finish up L line.

Excellent climbing in unusual place. Start as for SK, moving R to join bottoming crack. Do not hang around crack like a wallflower - continue up arête. This leads to easier climbing and lovely stroll to top. Protection a bit dubious, but small RPs in strange places will protect crux.

Start 2m R of Wallflower on the face under the roof. Up this face to the roof. Step L into WF for a few moves then traverse back just above the roof to the arête. Follow this to the top where WF joins it.

The Rock's first classic test piece at this grade. Start 2m left of prominent corner. Prominent upside-down staircase (two BRs) to ledge.

Start as for Angie. Up this for 5m to a traverse line. Traverse L to join SC for about 4m then traverse L again to the arete and follow this to the SC anchor.

Excellent climbing at this grade. Prominent corner marked 'A'. Corner to roof. Pass the roof on the left. Continue past some large, loose blocks, then up to the top of the cliff.

Follow Angie to roof, then follow R line through roof. Straight up loose, R-facing corner to lower offs below loose wall at top.

Steep with a difficult move to reach the lip. Start as for OE or LWF and climb either of these for the first 5m before stepping onto the arête. Follow this to the first roof, step R under this, up a move then a hard move out L to the lip. Finish up the face to the lower off on OE below the death choss at top.

Beautiful line done in two pitches to reduce rope drag.

1. Start R of Angie and follow thin, diagonal line on face to roof. Exit R. Belay just round roof on blocky stance. DBB lower off here also.

2. Step back L, then steep line.

First line R of LWF. Thin crack, moving R to horizontal. Traverse L along horizontal to meet LWF.

Climb SAM to horizontal, then move R to overlap. Move R past a FH up thin flake and face past 2FHs to small roof. Over roof and up face until just R of large roof. Finish up closed flake past 2FHs to lower off R of LWF. (#5 stopper and 2 small cams is useful after roof). Direct finish added in May 2017, makes for more direct and fun route.

A link of Chaos Roof and Where Iron Crosses Grow. Start as for Chaos Roof. Up past the first few bolts to the roof and instead of pulling the roof move, step L and up into the roof of WICG.

Climb CHAOS past the 3 FHs and small roof then traverse L climbing the lip of the LWF roof and face before reaching the lower off on OE.

Start marked. Easy corner past pillar and up L side of wall.

Start as for JD but at about 15m follow easy crack on L wall.

Start 2m R. of JD at L. side of face. Hard face moves with scant protection lead by way of loose rock to shallow corner. Follow this up to top of pillar. Face above.

Thin line 3m R of BM leading to shallow corner. Start behind large black and climb onto face. Difficult moves to horizontal. Pull past this to easier climbing. Protection difficult to place.

Marked corner 9m R of JD. Awkward start leads to quality. 20m slab corner. Easily to top.

Follow for VC for 1m, then move R onto arête. (If you reach L into corner grade is reduced to about 15). Crux is getting past overlap.

Nice face climbing, a little contrived as it steps L into Mohammed. Start 2m R of VC. Pull up R onto face for a few moves then Boulder L to join M. Up M for a few moves before traversing R a few metres before climbing diagonally R over the overlap and face to the anchors of BS.

Start 3m L of CD. Make some hard moves diagonally R to a jug then up a short crack to a horizontal. Step L 2m then straight up over the Arapiles style bulge to the finish.

R of VC and round corner is 1m high ledge below steep face. Line from middle of ledge, moving R. At horizontal, swing L and up into loose corner.

Excellent climbing on good rock. Small corner just R of CD for a few moves. Where CD traverses L, climb thin, R-leaning crack. Follow this thin line (crux) to horizontal. Finish up corner. If crux is too hard, climb up L and traverse R along horizontal to finish the line (23).

Superb rock and nice face climbing. Starts 2m R of SJ follow the thin R leaning line up the wall staying approx 2m R of SJ the whole way.

Steep face 4m R. of VC. Take line at R. side, about 3m L. of Andrew and detached block. Veer L. with line into short corner (crux).

Fantastic face and arete climbing with a sneaky step R at 2/3s height that makes it all go. Climb the arete immediately L of A to the second break after the slopy ledge. Step R into A at the roof climb this for a 1m and then step back L around the corner to the next BR. Climb the last bit of arete and face in a spectacular position to the top. Lower off below the choss at the top.

20m R. of VC is corner which starts behind L end of large, detached block. Up between block and wall to join corner.

Follow Andrew to ledge (level with top of block). Crack out of R side of Andrew. Thin moves to good stance. Finish up corner.

Bouldery crux down low. Face route up wall in behind detached pillar crossing OOA finishing at the anchors ledge on the ledge of Andrew.

2m R of Andrew is a bottomless, shallow corner behind a detached block. 'Delicate' is the flavour of this test piece.

Just L of The Brisbane Line at end of detached block is 4m face leading to horizontal. Ease up face L of arête on micro holds to horizontal. L-leaning line to ledge, then face above.

Starts at R end of detached block. Overhanging corner, then step up next (tricky) corner above. Major corner-line above to little ledge with small tree, then last part of corner.
