Northern Wonderland Range Venus Baths Pinnacle Track Boulder | |||||
? | ★ Scallops
Start as for Man Overboard, bust horizontally left and get left hand to descent side pull, launch right hand to where your left hand was on thank god the kids are gone, then left hand up to good edge, bump left hand again to monster rounded jug, right hand stretch directly up to good hold, then pop right again and balance your way through the top out. First two moves feel like a v2 then v0 to finish. Set: Guy Moore | 3m | |||
V2 | ★ Old Greg
Start matched as for Man Overboard, but continue traversing left and top out on the left of the prow. Watch out for dodgy broken rock. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2014 Set: Rowan Jordan, 1 Nov 2015 | 3m | |||
V1 | ★★ Man Overboard
Start Matched on the big juggy flake under the roof, move up & left through sloper to funky rail, then up and right through overhang on good holds to a bit of a spicy top out. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2014 Set: Jayden Andrea, 1 Nov 2015 | ||||
V4 | ★★ Free Willy
Three quite fun moves! Sit Start with funky pockets on the left under the Juggy Flake. Figure out how to pull of the ground then move to the jug, and (dynamically) up and right to a sloper on the lip of the overhang. Top out directly with a gnarly mantle!!! Don't be temped to escape left to an easier top out. Can be started deep in the overhang on crimps at about V6 (V6 FA: Oliver Tobias Bug?) Note: Community feedback prompted grade change from V3 to V4. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2016 | 3m | |||
V2 | ★ Axolotl
Start on jugs on the right of the main overhang, climb straight up to a surprisingly spicy top out slightly to the left.

The steep overhang 6m left of The Beanstalk is marked by a thin seam, followed by a necky headwall high above a back breaking boulder. Will go, but it will be hard and terrifying. | |||||

V2 | ★ Helluva Miller
Climb the juggy face right of arete from a sit. | 3m | |||
V8 | ★★ Rick & Morty

V2 | ★ Easy Lane
The easy arete is climbed from a sit. | 3m | |||
V6 | ★ Bad Boy Sandy
Just up the hill from Diagonal Laneway boulder. Start off big side pull and crimp, head up through spanny moves. Bit sandy but still worthy. FA: Callum Mather | ||||
Northern Wonderland Range Venus Baths Immersion Boulder | |||||
V4 | ★★ Diversion
Techy bridging that follows seams up the groove to the left of Immersion. FA: Oliver Miller | ||||
V9 | ★★★ Immersion
On the east side of the boulder (facing downstream) is a blunt arete. From a sit start (the stand is a very good V8 in its own right) climb the edges right of the seam. Long moves lead to a tricky conclusion. Try not to ping off into the creek. FA: Oliver Miller | ||||

Start on flat jug, use the seam to stand up and hop for a slopey hold. Topout is tall and mossy but easy. FA: Callum Mather | ||||

V2 | Witch Tits
Start as for The BFG on the large Flake, but climb up and over the obvious set of witch tits. If you fall you will need some sorcery to fix your broken legs. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2015 | 5m | |||
V4 | ★★★ Princess and the Pea
Sit start on the magical pumpkin low in the cave. Make unlikely movements up and left past the love heart hold to gain a stsnce on a small ledge. Standard finish is here and climb left down. Alternate scary leg breaking extension goes into Witch Tits. FA: Joshua Brown | ||||

Start as for Rapunzel on the magic pumpkin, but trend up and left with difficulty to the tallest part of the boulder. A tad contrived. FA: Damo Taylor, 2016 | 5m | |||
V5 | ★★★ Rapunzel
Sit start low on the Magic Pumpkin, move powerfully up and right through the awesomely featured face to gain the top. FA: joshua brown, 2015 | 4m | |||
V3 | ★ Rapunzel (Stand Start)
Stand start with holds above head height to avoid the hard first few moves of Rapunzel. Still great fun. FA: Josh brown, 2015 | ||||
V5 | ★★ Peter Pantastic
Make the first few moves of Rapunzel, but before the topout traverse powerfully rightward a few meters and gain the top to the right side of the over-hanging prow. FA: joel wilson | 6m | |||
V3 | ★ Piker Pan
This is the stand start to Peter Pantastic. Start with decent handholds at or above head height, follow rightwards to top of Peter Pantastic. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2016 | 3m | |||
V3 | ★ Jill
On the South facing side of the boulder. Sit start below off width crack (Jack), slap and climb your way up the rock on the right hand side of the offwidth. Actually quite fun movement. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2015 | 3m | |||
V4 | Jack
The horrible overhanging off width at the back of the boulder with "Jill". Sit start with your body in the chasm and work your way up and outta there! Don't break your crown. FA: michael, 2016 | 3m | |||
Northern Wonderland Range Mackeys Peak The Secret Stash Boulders Juju Rock | |||||
V12 | ★★★ Mojo Juju
On the downhill side of the boulder, from far right traverse leftwards using the obvious sloping crack accross the overhanging wall and topout frighteningly at the tallest point of the face. Mega FA: Oliver Miller, 2017 | 8m | |||
★★★ Project Ultra Hard
Start low in the centre of the steep overhanging face and magically float up the faux-holds that make this incredibly hard project. Was once tried by Finnish Powerhouse Nalle H. Very damn hard. | 5m | ||||
★★ Slopes of Doom Project
On the downhill face of the boulder, on the left side lies this project. Start low with bad underclings, move up through difficult slopers to topout. Super aesthetic & mega hard. | 4m | ||||
V2 | Licking Toads
On the South Facing vertical wall, at the Eastern end. Start on side pull jug, climb rails up and right to an awkward topout, followed by a long easy scramble to the summit of Juju Rock. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2015 | 3m | |||
V3 | ★★★ Cocaine
On the South facing wall, traverse on obvious crimpy rail from far right to left finishing matched where the rail ends. A fantastic line for the grade. FA: josh brown, 2015 | 6m | |||
V4 | ★★ Overdose
Start at the end of Cocaine. Pull onto crimps, make a big move up to side pull. Continue up over bulge and slab with great technical movements. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2016 | 5m | |||
V5 | ★★★ Cocaine Overdose
Link Cocaine into Overdose. Long, pumpy, powerful, technical, awesome! FA: caillan sainsbury, 2017 | 10m | |||
V6 | ★ Underdose
Start low left of Overdose on small crimps. Make a few powerful moves up over small holds leading to the start holds of Overdose, continue up. FA: Ollie Miller, 2017 | 5m | |||
V7 | ★★★ Trippa Snippa
The fantastic short ripple-textured wall on the uphill face of the boulder, far right hand side. Start with the crimps at face height and campus until you can put your feet somewhere useful before topping out right. This is also the easiest way off the Juju Boulder as its not far to jump to the ground from the upper holds of Trippa Snippa. FA: Ollie Miller, 2016 | ||||
V8 | ★ Contrivaband
From the big rock to the right of TFOTL, pull on and climb rightwards over small technical holds to finish above Trippa Snippa. Eliminate the juggy rail up high, stay low and techy. FA: Charlotte Garden, 2018 | 3m | |||
V5 | ★★ Fat Mans Land
The moderate variant to TFOTL, still very worthwhile. Step off the boulder on the right pulling onto the first major sloper of TFOTL and continue up. FA: caillan sainsbury, 2018 | 4m | |||
V5 | Fat Mans Land (gym climber variant)
Climb the best part of Fat Mans Land through the two perfect slopers, then shamefully escape right to the ledge because you hate highballs and you climb in a gym too much. Could also be started as for The Fat Of The Land, but if you're that strong and you escape right then you deserve a paddling. FA: 2018 | 4m | |||
V8 | ★★ The Fat Of The Land
The beefy main line of slopers going to the top of the uphill side of the boulder. Sit start on crimps and bad feet, climb up and right before big moves through the slopers and to the top. FA: Ollie Miller, 2016 | 6m | |||
★★★ The Prow Project
Just left of TFOTL is this mega project on fire orange bullet proof rock. Stand start on obvious side pull hold, beast your way up and left through a series of small holds and powerful movements. Was an Ollie Miller project when he was a Grampians man. Estimated V14~ish | 6m | ||||
★ The Hanging Corner Project
Follow the long tall hanging corner from the far left end of the uphill side of the Juju Boulder. Hard moves have stopped all attempts at 1/3 height so far. Won't be impossibly hard in the end. | 8m |
