Routes as top rope in Canberra

I went back to bolt this & couldn't find it again.

Maybe it only comes out in Summer. Or maybe it was too hard for me when I tried to free it on a microtraxion rather than using ascenders to pick the line.

My earlier notes wete: Essentially a V1/2 boulder problem on rope. Get established on the wall, throw for the good left sloper, stabilise on the right pocket then find a better pocket around the corner. A balancey reach up the arete leads to an easy scramble to the top.

A leaning corner above the water at the lefthand end.

Thin crack just left of the large dark overhang near the waters edge, ~3 m left of Romance in Cow Paddocks.

Climb up to the niche beneath the overhang, then left and up.

The undercut corner, then a small rooflet and up the left-facing corner above. Starts at the left side of the rockfall scar, 5 meters right of Downward Bound. Double anchor bolts on the top of the prow.

A substantial rockfall in 2017 removed most of the original first half of this climb. The route is still climbable although may have some loose rock and dirt for a while.

Start on the undercut wall behind the tree. Up the wall (leave the poor tree alone) to a ledge. Up the groove, then left onto the arete and up. A good finish on big buckets.

In the heavily vegetated corner. Easily up wall to the ledge, then up the bottomless chimney. Not done much these days...

A body length of good moves. Climb up to the ledge, then up the right wall of the chimney to another ledge then finish up to the right.

Start at the left end of the main wall beneath the lookout, a couple of meters right of the corner. Head up and left on the ramp, pulling through onto the wall above past an old piton, and up through the flared hand crack. Above here it trends up and right to the bolted anchor shared with Standing Room Only.

Caution:

The hold on the top headwall is moving a little, and is fairly large. It will likely fail at some point soon.

Start left of the small tree beneath a rooflet. Sustained face climbing the whole way, with a difficult crux, leads to a roof guarding the anchors. When pulling the roof, be gentle with the jugs, which have some fracture lines - belayer take precautions.

Marked with a faded "S" and starts a meter or so left of Closed Circuit beneath a vertical groove. Nominally follows the vauge groove, then right for a few moves, then finish straight up. Arbitrary and challenging to find moves that aren't part of Standing Room Only or Closed Circuit.

Start is marked with a white "CC" beneath the blunt arete to the left of the large overhang. Move from out under the starting rooflet then continue up the arete with some tricky moves to get onto the face above.

The corner crack running up the left side of the the large overhang, approximately 1 meter right of Closed Circuit and using a few holds on the arete.

Step right from the corner once you are above the overhang and climb the groove up and right.

Climb the arete beneath the central crack in the large overhang, 3 meters right of Charlotte Sometimes. Traverse left beneath the roof and finish up Charlotte Sometimes.

Up the arete beneath the roof, then reach through to jam the crack and make a few bouldery moves to transition into a layback on the wide section, before face climbing to the top.

A boulder problem consisting of a short rising traverse leftwards to the overhang.

A bouldery start bear hugging the arete leads to the minor rooflet. Move into the sweet right-facing flake, catch your breath, then tackle some sustained and technical climbing all the way to the bolted anchors. Keep looking left for your holds. Looks like the anchors have clips.

Strenuous climbing up the small corner. Head left to the flake and layaways. Finish left as for Extremely Anal.

Continue up from the corner and slightly right to a jug just below The Bummer, then traverse left on big holds.

Follow The Bummer directly up to the ledge, then straight up over a mantle on obvious holds to the anchor of Vandalous Behaviour.

Up the wall on small toes and crimps just right of The Bummer, trying to stay off the corner, up to a two-bolt anchor.

The once-brushed line a few meters right of Silent Running.

MH: Definitely very dirty with thick lichen at the top in 2021. Tried to avoid using the crack further right. A trad anchor can be constructed using the crack at the back of the upper vegetated ledge - needs a small wire, a smallish cam, and maybe a sling for the little tree if you're desperate for more?

About 6 metres left of Honey and down the gully. Climb the crack up to the ledge and then up to the anchors. Be careful not to dislodge rocks on your belayer. Some gardening and cleaning has been performed, more may be required.

From the left rope in the picture. Climb the left arete and crack to the ledge and then continue up the right arete and crack.

Start on the right set of top rope anchors. Start on the right arete, veer left to the side pull and follow the rightwards leaning line to the top.
