Routes in Booroomba Rocks for selected grade

A popular beginners' climb. Start five metres left of Running Crack below a short, wide corner crack.

1. Up the corner crack and chimney to a huge ledge and tree belay.

2. Left over ledges then up the slanting corner. A tricky step right to a break, then the wide crack and corners lead easily to the top.

Start 10 metres left as for Rise and Fall, but take the right-hand crack.

An easier variant of Possum. Start from the first belay on Possum.

1. 16m - Right along the ledge from the belay then back left up a ramp to join the second pitch of Possum at the end of the traverse; up to the big ledge.

2. 10m - Walk up the slab and corner behind the trees.

Chimney up the prominent fissure right of Scungy Wall.

An easy enjoyable slab on very coarse rock with a surprisingly exposed second pitch. Start 15m left of Tachyon and up through the scrub, where a vegetated ramp heads right and a crack/ramp heads left.

1. 17m - Climb the leftward slanting crack to the foot of the ramp.

2. 22m - Diagonally right on the slab above the ramp to a recess at 7m, then up (crux) trending slightly right to a ledge with a large, loose block.

3. 45m - Straight up then slightly right to avoid the overlap. Continue steeply right to a horizontal crack. Above the crack either brave the lichen or move right slightly to join the final pitch of Eagle Eye Direct.

Another easy slab, with small gear. Start 15m left of 'Aquanaut' at a wide, shallow groove with incipient cracks.

1. 34m - Up the slab then the groove (crux) to a ledge and DBB.

2. 27m - Easy climbing up the orange scoopy rock to the overlap. Climb the overlap then continue up the low-angled scoop and right to the ledge and abseil anchors. Finish up the third pitch of 'Drunken Delight' or walk off.

Parallel to 'Melmoth', starting about 10m to the left. Unlike Melmoth this route feels like a climb.

1. 33m - Climb the slab moving slightly right to the crack. Up the crack then step right and climb easy slabs to trad belay on the ledge.

2. 40m - Easily left to a large block below the black water streak. Climb the water streak then up the grippy slab to belay at the overlap.

3. 10 metres - Climb the short wall on hollow rock. Walk off right.

At the extreme right. Up the twin cracks, finishing to the left.
