Welcome to Slab City, where the holds are small and friction is Queen. Boulder to the right of main wall, 5m through bush. bring a brush and a change of pants.

Start at bottom right of slab as for moose moss. Step up but stay low and head left. Go past the fern until your low feet almost meet the ground then head up Between Two Ferns before the green section. Work up off very little to gain tiny crimps at break. Then head back right on underclings and top out just before orange streak as for don't look back.

Start on right of slab city face. Move up and stay right.

Starts on orange streak in front of fern stumps. Head up right hand side of orange streak. Keep feet on orange streak without using bigger right feet near green streaks. Follow the orange over the top

Start between two ferns. Head directly up left of orange streak into the break. Then trend slightly right to top out, one foot on orange streak, without moving fully into it.

Start between two ferns on low feet and head up grey streak using slabbyness and small edges at break. Use underclings to traverse out right and finish just left of orange streak as for Dont Look Back.

Extension: sit start down and right just in front of small tree. Stay low and traverse across to start of main route.

Start just left of arete, any holds up to big jug and top out,

Up the green streak cracks via tips layaways

Sit Start

Sit start below green streak. Move left to last jugs, then longer move to small rail and then top.

Jump to top from the slot and pocket about eye height (before the smooth dimples begin).

A challenging eliminate following a similar line to Sneaky Jackals.

Sit start matched in the lowest slot of Creaky Jackals, big RH move left to a high crimp (skipping the jug pockets), LH out to a choice of pocket pinches, RH up to the small crimp rail with a thumb pocket, dyno to top and high heel mantle to top out.

An extension to Temporal Pincer.

Sit start in the small cave, stay under the break and traverse using three rails to work into the start of Temporal Pincer.

Watch your back/feet on the traverse, it is pretty low.

Start on left hand pinch, right hand dish. Trend right and up using some of the bigger holds on right, to thin crimp rail and keep going right to top.

Start on pinch and dish. Move up using pockets to small crimp rail. Big commiting move to the top. Tom Bes FA

The secret's in the topping.

Sit start 3 jugs below the magic mushroom, find the secret edges, then roll over the top.

Start in crack at left end. Using R side, move up and over. Sandy.

Sit start and jam the crack. If you must.

Start in crack on the left, traverse across and top out just before arete.

Sit start with RH on arete and LH in low undercling. Up to lip and top out. Boulder to the right is off for hands and feet.

Sit start matched on the low crimp, up to lip via small crimps.

Start with left hand on sandy undercling jug and move up into the rounded side-pull to top out.

Sit start with matched undercling, stand up into a left side pull jug. Work your way up the left side pulls, then whale up the topout.

Just left of 'Side Hug' is a sandy, rubbish left facing side-pull feature. Sit-start to top out.

Silly mantle problem if you want to grovel a little. Sit-start at scoop with hands on the slope.

About 20m left of the main cliff (looking in) is another small outcrop.

Grab the pointy bit and fly over the top.

Start on the lower level at the crack as for Loop the loop. Move right and then directly up to meet the start of Sharp Angle. Up and top out.

Start on the lower level at the crack. Move right along the lower level to the far end, before bumping up to the lip and traversing it leftwards to end where you began.

Getting full value out of this wall by zigging and zagging your way up.

Start as for 'Loop the loop' but once you get to the nose on the arete zag back down on the next band of edges up. Follow this to the far right, then move up to the next band of edges and go left (a longer move here) to top out.

Done without using any hand holds twice. The best way to do some endurance training on this wall. Reverse once at top for more value.

One mover slapping from low left hand side-pull in the weakness to the big break. Continue up easily to top out.

Sit start matched on the shallow side-pull crimps. Big move right to the far sloper in the break, with an optional crumby crimp in the graffiti (midway up the lower block).

From the break, continue right and up to the upper shelf, one more high left jug and match top, with feet excluded from the main break (Top-out unnecessary with a heap of lichen).

Challenging yet somewhat contrived lockdown eliminate.

Sit start matched on the shallow side-pull crimps, and pop up to a decent 2 finger pocket in the graffiti before the main break. Then move up to the upper shelf, before a long move to the top rail and top out.

Another lockdown eliminate challenge, feet follow hands.

Starting as for Loop the Loop. Contrived eliminate traversing from left to right keeping hands below (and out of) the big break, utilising the slopes and small holds. Lower break towards the end is in however. Finish matched on far right jugs or continue for easy top out above.

A small block down towards the creek.

A tight sit start, right hand in the large vertical seam, left hand in the small opposing side pull. Pull hard up to the crimps and continue straight up to top out.

Sit start using the two opposing side pulls. One big move to the top and practice your mantle to top out.

The link between Handbrake and Odour Control. Sit start as for Handbrake, up to the crimps but stay below the main seam. Traverse left and mantle out as for Odour Control.
