---|---|---|---|---|---|
8 | ★★ Crack of Dawn
This 'well known test piece' is about 15 metres down Cocker's Gully on the right hand side of a small buttress. Up the crack to a ledge then up the short wall. FA: Ian Taylor & John Hoskins, 1972 | 15m | |||
9 | ★★ Zing
Start about 25 metres down the gully from Crack of Dawn. Climb the crack on the left of the buttress, up the rubble blocks and a crack to the top. FA: Tony Wood & John Hoskins, 1972 | 24m | |||
21 | Crushed Crack
Start ten metres left of (and around the corner from) Idle Moments. Climb the finger crack, widening up higher. FA: "Crushed" | ||||
24 | High Fives
Start just left of an arete, five metres left of Idle Moments. A boulder problem up the short wall past two bolts leads to easier climbing up right to the arete, to finish up Packer Gets First Cone. The second bolt was missing a hanger at last report. FA: Simon Carter, 1987 | 15m, 2 | |||
20 | Packer Gets First Cone
Contrived climbing up the brushed wall with three bolts. Start just right of the arete and a metre left of the Idle Moments crack (hands off). A hard start, then straight up the wall/arete, finishing with a mantle. FA: Gordon Poultney, Mike Peck & Craig Kentwell, 1987 | 15m, 3 | |||
17 | ★★ Idle Moments
The left-most crack in the corner alcove. Climb the crack and corner to a crux move over the summit bulge (originally a dubious tree root provided a handy jug here, but this has vanished). FA: Andrew Bowman & Dave Shirra, 1971 FFA: Joe Friend, 1973 | 20m | |||
19 | ★ Last of the Mohicans
Desperate! Start up the corner (Battle of the Bulge), then move left to the central crack on the left-hand wall. Climb up to and through the bulge (bolt), then straight on up. FA: Joe Friend, 1973 FFA: Ray Lassman, 1975 | 20m, 1 | |||
18 | ★★ Battle of the Bulge
The wide corner, which is either laybacked or jammed. A bolt obviates the need for super-large gear (#5 Camelot is nice) FA: Joe Friend, Lincoln Hall & Norm Booth, 1972 | 20m, 1 | |||
23 | Above the Water Line
Hard slabbing. Climb the crack (Plimsoll Line) for five metres then step left onto the wall. Crimp delicately past three bolts and finish up a short crack. Name changed by Mike in 2023. FA: Mike Law-Smith, 1988 | 25m, 3 | |||
22 | ★ The Plimsoll Line Direct Finish
Tacks on a little extra. Climb the crack to the left of the belay ledge. FA: Roark Muhlen, 1980 | 6m | |||
18 | ★★ The Plimsoll Line
Good varied climbing that is quite delicate in places. Up the crack on the right wall, moving right to a belay ledge at the top. FA: Joe Friend, Lincoln Hall & Norm Booth, 1972 FFA: Norm Booth & Ray Lassman, 1974 | 20m | |||
11 | ★ Channel Chimney
Chimney up the prominent fissure right of Scungy Wall. FA: Neil Anderson & Peter Aitchison, 1969 | 25m | |||
16 | ★★ Stentor
Up the flared chimney and crack above, step right at the horizontal break and continue to the top. FA: Lincoln Hall & Peter Mills, 1975 | 40m | |||
22 | Treason
The tree may now be burnt, but it was on. The roof and crack between Stentor and Snot. Pull through the horizontal break then up the crack to the top. FA: Mike Meyers & Mike Law-Smith, 1982 | 25m | |||
13 | Snot
Apparently better than the name. The chimney a few metres right of Treason.
FA: Bill Wilson & G. Smith. P. Blackwood, 1973 | 45m, 2 | |||
25 | Holidays in Hell
Thin and fingery face moves up the downhill end of the buttress, with wires and bolts. FA: Mike Law-Smith, 1994 | 10m, 2 | |||
22 | Lieback and Enjoy It
The thin, left-slanting crack. Placing protection is strenuous. FA: Mike Law-Smith, 1994 | 12m | |||
16 | ★ R.U.R.S.P.B.B.W
The climb's bad but the name (Realised Ultimate Reality South Pacific Beach Bum Walrus) is worse. Up the crack to an awkward mantle, and continue up the off-width. FA: Andrew Bowman & Bill Wilson, 1974 | 12m |
