Routes as trad in South Australia

Straight up the crags and rocks.

Start: Below the prominent nose of Point Bonnie as viewed from the Arkaroo Rock road. The climb takes a fine crack, which is just left of a 20m high pillar, below and left of a high level protruding triangular roof.

Find the vertical crack in the middle of the L Amigo that bends L near the ground. Start several metres to the R and climb L trending flakes to gain the crack. Up and L around the rooflet. A move or two up the corner then step L to gain a crack leading to the top.

A very aesthetic line, although threatened by the nearby bolts of The Scarlet Pimpernell.

Start in short R facing corner, make a strenous move up to the major horizontal at the roof, move left and then up the beautiful crack. The original route finished up Ajax but there are now abseil chains above the first pitch (20m to ground.)

If doing both pitches, don't belay at the first set of chains on pitch 1. Continue another 8m back up the easy slab to a trad belay at the base of the vertical wall.

The most popular way to do this exciting route on a mega flake.

1. 30m (10) Up corner and easy ramp to stance.

2. 15m (13) Step up to the flake and follow it leftwards to the Pagoda. Either squeeze in behind it or swing around it. Belay on top of the flake.

3. 15m (15) Move up to the scoop, then follow the R leaning crack back to the major corner.

4. 43m (12) Follow the major corner.

The original route. Takes the vertical crack above the overhanging pagoda on the flake.

Follow the major corner all the way passing a large roof en route.

Two meters left of Tripple Hot and Skink. Overhung start, into line, veer right and up cracks and horisontals finish up blunt aret to rings.

Left of transferease. Overhung start into jamb crack finish at rings. Just cool fun

Cool Moves and Position high on Checkers wall.

There are rap chains on top of the first pitch. 30m to the ground.

1. 30m (15) Up the chimney then move out left at the roof. Continue up corner to the big ledge and chains.

2. 33m (10) Up the steep corner.

3. 35m (12) Up a series of steps above the trees and follow the bulging corner to a steep block chimney which leads through a narrow opening to the top.

An exciting outing that tackles the shield of rock to the left of the second pitch of Pine crack. (1) 30m 16 climb Thor variant start to belay as for that route. (2) 25m 18. Start up Thor's second pitch for a few metres until its possible to place a few small cams before heading out right past a bolt to the rattly but solid blocks. Turn the arete and continue up the face past 4 more bolts and some natural gear. DBB (55m abseil possible from here) or continue 10 m to Thor ledge.
