18 | The Countess
Up Deep Sea Mullet for 8m then traverse left onto the sandy pocketed face. | 18m | |||
17 | ★ Deep Sea Mullet
Short crack splitting the wall just left of the corner. Seeps badly down low after heavy rain. | 12m | |||
18 | ★★ Miss Penelope
The short dark stemming corner on the left end of Thunderbird Wall, starting on high vegetated ledge. A little fiddly to protect. Seeps after heavy rain. | 12m | |||
20 | ★ No Strings Attached
At the left end of the main wall, and just right of the dark corner is a seam crack. This route climbs the face just right of the crack. Protection is quite spaced and not great - be warned. Grade is probably a bit of a sandbag as well. | 15m | |||
21 | ★★ Thunderbirds Are Go
The pocketed grey face on the right edge of the higher vegetated ledge. The climb wanders around in a bid to find protection and holds. Be careful - trad gear is spaced. Double ropes or long slings useful. | 20m | |||
21 | ★★★ Virgil
| 20m | |||
21 | Brain
| 20m | |||
21 | ★★ Dad
A fine sustained wall route. Not as direct as the print guide makes out - unless you add several grades. Start over the bulge just left of the bolted route, then up the face on good horizontals to major horizontal break. Traverse left across this for 2m then up the face, then left again to join into Brain for a move then back right and finish up big sandy pockets. Double ropes useful. Protection is good but spaced. Bring cams to size #4. | 20m | |||
23 | ★★ Fab
One of the most popular routes on the wall, mainly because it's mostly bolts! Don't be too relaxed though, the bolts are spaced and you need a spot of trad in the middle section (small cams). The moves and rock are fab though. Starts at right end of wall at undercut section. Stickclip first bolt or get a good spot. | 25m, 5 | |||
22 | ★★★ Thunderbirds Are Bogged
The best and most popular route on Thunderbird Wall. Exposure, good bolts and lovely polished orange rock all the way. Starts at right end of wall as for "Fab" then traverse right (crossing Aquamarina) and up large heucos. Mostly bolts but a light trad rack is needed. | 25m, 5 | |||
21 | ★★ Aquamarina
Starts 1m right of Fab, at furthest right you can safely stand on the chossy ledge. Rap in and pre-place wire about 4m up the route as your first runner or stick clip first bolt on Fab if you really feel the fear. Boulder the undercut start, crux, then wander up wall with spaced but good trad gear. Vital micro cams (black/blue Alien size) about midway up the route. Gear to #3 Camalot. FA: Tony Barten, Mike Peck & John Churchill, 1988 | 20m | |||
22 | Thunderbirds Are Gone
The right arete of the main wall, starting on ledge system 10m below the main ledge. One bolt and trad. | 40m, 1 |
