Site navigation

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Start as for 'Mushi Brain' but break out left and don't dab the tree! Not great.

3 *** Mushi Brain

Start on two underclings in the corner and make big moves out rightwards, finishing up 'Sushi Train'. Pumpy.

unreal climbing powerful and techy. 5 days prob and first 8A.

Daniel da Silva 4 years ago

superb

4 *** Sushi Train

Start on the big undercling with your feet on the back wall and blast straight up, finishing matched on the huge jug left of the spike. Crafty toe-hooks are the key.

9 *** Chaos and Disorder

Start of the underclings and make some bizarre contortions (including doing a full 180 degree spin) through the roof. Probably one of the coolest and most unique problems in Sydney.

FA: D.Kellerman, 2000

V10
Boulder
10 ** Black Magic

Start on the big undercling in front of 'Mull up'. Launch out through the roof and link into the last few moves of 'Anorexic'. Double toe-hooks are the trick for the funky 'drop down' move.

13 ** Anorexic

The warm up. And one of the best problems of this grade & style. Start at the back wall and pull straight out the roof, passing the big hole, make a long throw and finish MATCHED on the huge jug. Hold that swing!

14 Exodus

Start slighty right of 'Anorexic'. Move through the roof with your hands staying clear of the holds on 'Anorexic' although your feet may stray over. Keep going past the old bolt and slap up the sloping prow to finish on the the big spike. Unrepeated since a hold broke?

short and a hard finish.

17 ** Anorexic (Extension)

After reaching the finishing jug, keep going a few moves further and finish on an even higher jug, up and left of the spike on 'Exodus'. Scary!

V7

18 Phlegm

Link 'Mushi Brain' into the last two moves of 'Abacus'

FA: J.Scarborough, 2000

19 *** Genesis

Start on the big flake jug and make a very tough move up using the tiny crimp. A heel thrown onto the rail of 'Sushi Train' appears to help.

FA: D.Kellerman, 2000

20 ** Anorexodus

Link 'Anorexic' into the finish of 'Exodus'.

V8

21 ** The Monster Anorexic Link

Link the Traverse into 'Anorexic' and finish as for the 'Anorexic' extension. V7' ish but probably deserves a sport grade.

22 The Traverse

Start a few metres right (just before the rock gets bad) and traverse left into the start of 'Anorexic'.

FA: T.O'neill, 2000

23 *** Abacus (Sit)

Start on the undercling just right of Sushi Train's start and power up using the obvious poor pinch.
