Routes as sport in The Pinnacles

The scramble up the back of the pinnacle. Not sure why it has bolts, but could be good for kiddies or used to set up top rope.

Start on left wall, left of slightly misplaced bolts and after second bolt head right to, and around arete. To shared chain on top of pinnacle

A mixture of bolts due to the habit of this rock chewing up drill bits. Now fully bolted and safe to lead. Undercut start trending left past 2nd bolt. Finish on old chain anchor or new anchor to right.

The rock that is, used 4new drill bits. Great moves to nice easy finish on slab. The route that starts under the right leaning crack

On the right of the trench on south side of pinnacle, closest to track

On the left of trench, shared start then veer right on smal holds to shared anchors at top

Shared start up flake feature steeping left into seam, over bulge to shared finish

Powerful moves up undercut start to ledge at half height, then easier climbing to anchors above second ledge

Start 1m right of the prominent bolted groove.Up white seam and through roof passing 5 bolts to ledge, and continue up juggy common upper wall to anchors

Up open corner past hard moves at 4th bolt. Ignore anchors to left, step right and continue up the finish of Dans face climb

After surmounting groove (crux) instead of stepping right continue up arete and head onto left following homemade fixed hangers and slighly friable rock.

After first 5 bolts of the crack step left to DBB. CLimb up orange overhung wall.

From near lowest part of pinnacle amble up diagonal the reach left and onto wall. Pumpy moves past 2 bolts then up, moving slightly right into corner then slab and anchors to left

The extension to this has been bolted and is still a project

Continue up route on carrots (4) then 2 old RBs then 6 new ones, past first set of anchors to anchors ontop of pinnacle. A 70m rope will just get you down.

Start to the left of the grass tree cluster. Joins the route to the right around arete at about 5 th bolt, unless you have some trad gear with you. Spaced bolting.

Start 1m right of BB and head up prow. 2-3 small cams (under finger size) needed for middle section to ledge to avoid retrobolting. Then pass 2 more bolts to right of flake to anchors

Start 1m left of BB at white face, trending left past first 4 bolts then up to anchors.

Thin wall 5m right of Bulahdelah Flyways

Up the gully from BB. Climbs the old abseil line, descent from tree. Thin start and a bitrun out to anchors.

The arete in front of large warty tree. 2 carrots and 2 ring bolts. Can now use lower offs from VW project to left. Take care getting to 2nd RB.

Up right side of buttress on RBs. The hanging arete is challenging but contrived

Up brushed slab, second route uphill of the crack. Shares same anchors

Nicely angled slab climbing, a little run out but safe.

Just around arete from Not Lichen It, on carpark side of town facing (downhill) wall. Up through small cave and through the steepening wall to tough move to pull onto slab.

Only 2 bolts in lower crux, top cleaned.

Along the low flake past 2 hangers then up through bulges. It finises at last bolt, or continue up vegetation to shared anchors on top and rappel off.

Start on the arete, up on thin holds to stance before groove. Up some thin moves in groove to pumpy top.

Start just right of corner, up steep wall, the move out onto arete after 4th bolt. Lower off ontop of pinicale.

Start left of tree, perhaps stickclip second bolt to avoid decking when clipping. Can use a smallish cam or medium wire can add protection at the break

Starts to the left of the tree near chimney- second climb along. Up diagonal crack to dog leg, a cam handy here before second bolt. Zig zag up wall coming very close to African route in middle before heading left again. Finish on anchors of African route

Step to base of pinnacle then follow 3 bolts to anchors. Finish with hands on top of pinnacle to make the effort of getting the rope out worth it!

Interesting climbing to the R side of the arete, straight up through several bulges to lower off.

Start as for arete but at second last bolt 9on route head left along airy travere to finish at anchors above small pinnacle

Up past 3 fixed hangers then out left to ring the step back onto block.

Clip bolt then step across chasm and into bolted crack

Step off the top of the block, the right hand route.

Tough move to get past 3rd bolt then keep moven.

The small slab on the left of the white cave. Able to walk off top or continue up 2nd pitch to lower off at top of cliff.

to the left of the Bill and Ben scoop on the little weed pinnacle. Has its own anchor

The middle route on the small pinicale. Up slab and right of the small cave.

Right side of small pinicale. Slab to start then thin moves to lower off.

The thin left route on the boulder down hill.

The middle route on the downhill boulder. Up to break then right up sloping ramp to jug then back to anchors.

The lower route on this boulder. Up steadily to second bolt then tough moves to shared finish and anchors.
