Routes as trad in Harrop Track

Boulder up to horizontal. Step R into the finger crack and up.

Start as for LBDO. At 2m traverse left to RB. Crank up right to jugs and wire. Easier climbing to top.

Starts 4m L of Where's Mum? at RB. Bouldery start just R of bolt. Right to Where's Mum?'s bolt, back left on jugs to crib. Have a lie down and cry, then up easily.

Starts 8m L of 'The Crib'. Up horizontal bulges to seam. Up this to top.

Slick and sustained Arapiles style line.

The central line of the middle buttress.

Leap for jug from rock cairn (FH), then up short face to fingercrack. Up this for 6m to slight stance. Swing right across awkward bulging face (FH) to below final seam. Up this which eases to jugs and lower-off anchor. Bring a full rack and some slings to extend runners in the traverse,

Climb the crack left of the left arete.

Climbs the left leaning dog-legged crack that goes up the middle of the orange wall (left of the major orange wall). Scramble up the easy slab to the belay ledge just below the major crack. Climb the corner/crack to the horizontal break. Traverse left one metre and then climb the crack above to a tricky mantle onto a dirty ledge. Climb the deep crack/chimney above to the top.

Best route at the crag.

Start: Start as for May Day. At May Day's traverse left continue straight up corner and start of head wall past three BR's to break, #3 camalot, then continue past one more BR (hard clip) to run it out to the top (possible wires).

An atmospheric adventure up the left side of the main wall with a fair bit of loose rock in the upper half. Start behind the conifer 5m R of 'Napalm Sunday'. Up the grey slab then follow easy ramp L to steep orange cracks and through small roof. 'Excellent' view.

Starts 3m left of Ralph's Journey on right side of cleft separating right and left walls. Climb the right side of the cleft to the top.

Top roped only. Rob has drilled the holes, but no bolts as yet as he ran out of daylight. Starts 4 meters right of 'Burnt Out' behind the detached small

pillar. A few big moves on sketchy feet to nice climbing on the leftward leaning upside-down staircase.

Sustained with sinker wires. Start behind clump of callitris 5m right of cleft seperating right and left walls. Bouldery start past FH to gain crack proper. Up on good finger locks to horizontal break.Traverse right 3m then up over bulges.

Start: 10m up and left of 'Flying Possum'.

Great climbing on excellent rock. Starts 3m right of blunt arête. Boulder start to gain crack (protected with a good, shallow wire at full stretch). Bomber gear and sustained climbing to below roof. Committing pull past bulge via crimps in the black streak to good #2 camalot placement.

Starts 6m left of Battling the Bulge. Climb the prominent right leading corner to FH. A strenuous right rising traverse past a 2nd FH brings a jug to hand and a cramped rest. Move left and climb tricky crack to rap rings.

Start 3m L of 'Napalm Sunday'. Up crack then step L at second horizontal then up loose shallow corner.

Starts 15m L of 'Flying Possum'. Nice short face climb. #3 wire in sideways protects crux. Go up.

Start 5m R of 'Elle McFerret' at termite nest. Bouldery start past fixed wire to crack. Crack to finish. Note: Start can be aided to give sustained crack climbing at about 24.

Crack?

A fine route marred slightly by a fragile exit. Starts 2m left of blunt arête at left end of first wall. Follow twin cracks to good holds and gear at steepening. Committing climbing to ledge. Step right to belay and rap anchors. Initial escape was off right past dodgy tree and above. Alternatively up big chimney.

Climb the crack with difficulty to the ledge. Climb over the bulging buttress and the short corner above to the ledge. Organise protection and then traverse left one metre to the arête. This is the right arête of the major orange wall. Climb the arête in a fabulous position to the next ledge. Finish up the crack above, or the arête on the left. Belay on the large ledge. Scramble up to the top and down climb the pinnacle at the back.

Start: Starts at the short splitter finger crack on the small wall just right of the major orange wall.

1. 30m (18) Climb the corner to the first roof.

2. 10m (19) Go right under the first roof and belay just above. The footholds on this pitch are very mossy!

4. 10m (17) Continue up and traverse under the next roof.

5. 30m (10) Climb the stegosaurus wall to the Operating Theatre.

Adds an obvious finish to any route on this lower wall. Climbs wall above the Operating Theatre. Starts 25m left of the finish of 'Spinal Column'. Very juggy corner leads to ledge and optional belay. Keep plodding upwards to finish up steep arête and summit glory. Walk off and descend tediously down western side.

One of the longest routes in the 'Victoria Range'. Well, it is if you ignore many routes at 'The Fortress' and 'The Chimney Pots'.

1. 40m (12) Starts 12m right of 'Spinal Column'. Wander up middle of wall on good jugs to small belay stance. Some loose rock.

The second thinner crack. Up the short wall then pull steeply into the base of the crack. When the crack expires traverse right and finish as for 'Peep Show'.

Takes the major weakness through the capping roof just left of 'Peep Show'. Approach via Me and Jonhson or 'Superhands'. Instead of traversing into 'Peep Show' climb the brushed wall and roof above past 4 FH's to a rap station.

The major curving corner. A steep start leads to some delicate bridging before a strenuous section of underclinging (crux) brings a welcome rest to hand. Continue up the corner to the roof before making a dramatic traverse rightwards to gain the arête. Loweroff from rings.

Start: Wide bulging crack on lower cliff, 10m left of access gully to the left side of Flame Wall.

Excellent orange face with lots of tiny crimpers and several FHs. Bring wallnuts to size 7 to supplement the existing FHs. More bolts may be added later.

A sustained face, neglected for several months after bolting.

Start: The 4m direct start to the ledge has been done but awaits a bolt. In the meantime, start 4m further left beneath 'The Thin Red Line', where a good wire protects the moves to the ledge.

Move 4m R on ledge, then climb the face 3m L of the thin crack (Edge Burner), past 3FH, med-large wires and a #1.75Fr. The high DRB anchor can be accessed from above.

Big time cave climbing up right side of the orange wave.

Scramble in from the left side onto belay ledge 15m from the ground. Belay off single FH.

Head up and right easily for 8m to small ledge and UB. Take a breath and start climbing up and out past eight bolts in incredible positions to finish in small cave. Hard moves are at third and sixth bolts. Good foot jams, knee bars and leg slots can be found for recovery all the way up. Use a 60m rope for lower-off and tie a knot in the end!

About 20m right of 'Salami Surprise' is a short bulging crack.

Hand crack finishing in bulge at left end of wall.

Start just left of the corner at flake, then move right into corner to ledge at 6m. Up, dancing between the left hand face and corner. Fantastic, consistant climbing on good holds with surprisingly good rock quality and clean rock. Some sections are a little (4-5m) spaced.

Move left under roof 5m from top to belay on ledge. 50m Rap off (two glue in U-bolts with mallions and large rings)at good ledge.

Pitch 2: Continue up corner, tricky section at around 10m above ledge (around grade 15) to top. Walk off West down gully (lots of nice looking un-touched orange walls in gully).

The amazing LH rising traverse starting at ground level 15m from the start of the cliff and finishing at the DBB above Extreme Ironing! Take all of your cams, and some of your mate's!

project (3 FHs).

Do not climb this route as it still needs more bolts.

A good mixture with jamming and technical face climbing.

Start on the left wall of the descent gully at a hand-crack in a black face.

Climb the crack up the black face to a ledge (belay possible). Continue in the shallow corner which fades out below the final exciting bulge.
