Alpine
Snowy Mountains Perisher Blue Guthega Quarry
{UIAA} MIXED:M5 The Wettest Part

Up the overhang to the right of Tree is not an Anchor, proceeding right through the slight overhangs and wettest parts of the crag, has some (non-climbable) ice forming during winter so I guess you can technically call it mixed climbing and not just dry tooling.

for Top rope solo access, you will need to create several redirects with trad gear from the natural tree anchors above.

Alpine 20m
Snowy Mountains Ramshead Range Ramshead Ramshead Bluff
17 Rusty Piton Route

Start off block, approximately 2m above ground/snow level, on lowest point of bluff. Follow thin broken cracks vertically and left up to sloping beautiful finger crack Traverse left across gully, over orange slab and back right up corner crack. Belay on large ledge Step left and up through break in rooflet, past old piton and easily up headwall with good gear

We found a couple of old pitons up the top and one on the route so assume at least some of this route has been climbed. If anyone has info please put forward

Wild moves through overhang breaking left. LOOSE ROCK Awkward moves onto unprotected slab then easily to belay ledge. Traverse 5m right then up vertical fist crack, pumpy over bulge. Continue right and up orange wall on nice edges with small gear. Belay on pinnacle peak. Solo across gully and right to obvious steep crack. Few pumpy moves lead to nice slab and top out.

Alpine 100m, 3
Northwest Slopes and plains Kaputar Yulludunida
3 Skyline Traverse

An excellent excursion along the ridge of the amazing Yulludunida dyke formation. More akin to walking along the back of a stegosaurus than climbing, but some parties may want to rope up for some of the more exposed sections.

40 min hike in from the car park. As soon as you breach the tree line, head right until you can’t head right anymore (sheer cliff), then follow the ridge line. Alternatively you can join the ridge earlier if you want some steeper climbing (more akin to a grade 5-6). As you ascend the walking trail head directly for the ridge as soon as you can see the rock outcropping. This is shortly after the path hits a ledge with a good lookout. You may need to do a little bush bashing.

You can avoid some of the more bouldery sections but try to keep to the highest point of the ridge to get the most out of the climb. There is a sling at the hardest down climb about ⅔ into the climb. A short 10m rope may be useful here to assist in the descent.

The walk out involves a bit of bush bashing if you follow the ridge to the end. The higher you stay in the crater the less vegetation you will encounter. Aim to zig zag along the bare rocky areas for ease of travel. Aim for 3-4 hours return at a leisurely pace.
