Routes in New South Wales and ACT for selected grade

Climb the hand crack to the undercling head left, then straight up to top on features. This is a guess, it looks like it should go, just needs a light scrub. Most likely been done already.

Stand start and fridge hug the two sides of the boulder and up. Sit start V4.

The grade depends massively on your height, easy tick for anyone over 6ft, a different story for those under it.

An original classic of Sissy that suffered damage when someone decided to smash off holds 8 and 10 in 2007.

It still goes and is worthwhile but grade has never been confirmed. Give it a go and share your thoughts.

🚫 Originally done as a 'no heels' problem.

Climb the left arete.

has not been bolted yet 3mt right of CW under the tree

has not been bolted yet. right side of big cave

Start on side pull and awkward high sloper. Smear and establish high foot. The crux is the slopey arete with some fairly dynamic moves. Mantle to finish. Possibility for a sit start.

Start on the highest chipped holds you can reach (above the traversing problem Rinaldo), then mantle over the bulge using some reasonable holds and walk up to top out. A lower start is possible which could go from the same start as Rinaldo, and would be significantly harder. Named Dandruff for the exfoliating nature.

Sit start then head left around the arete on small holds and incuts. The crux is getting up over the ledge at mid height. Roughly v3 if you eliminate a few holds.

Traverse left from about 1 metre right of #41 (shares a start with #41 LH variant), around to the big crack and up.

An awesome, sequency and technical climb up through some good holds to a scoop, pinch and crimp with the option of a very sharp sidecling to help you through. A good little number. Was going to be Paddy's first first ascent here, but he didn't have enough gas left.

Up the south face of the Candlestick

Start with right hand on an incut crimp 1/2 left of the layback, left hand on sloper and up.

Sit start up good edges

Crouch start on left of boulder. Traverse right and up through cool corner to mantle crux

Cramped sit start on 2 pockets and up face to the right on good crimps and edges to crux move up top slapping to jug hole

Climb Forest Slab via the vertical rail eliminating the good left crimp for hands (still in for feet). All eliminates via this finish allow one light brush (not weight) of the right wall with your back, a second dab or any weight and you must start again for the tick.

Sit start to Tree Corner/Offwidth, superb.

Climb Forest Slab starting from the lower thin diagonal crimps.

Climb Porkorama starting from the low step to the left with both hands matched on the large undercling.

Sit start to Porkorama on the flake, large low footer far left is out.

Climbs Worm starting from outer aspect of Eastern Chimney.

Start as for Southern Crumpet #2 finishing as for Attack of the Field Mouse.

Climb Sit the Crumpeteer and finish via The Real Crumpeteer (no picnics on shelf, plenty of rests elsewhere!)

From crimps/low rail.

Start in centre of chimney moving East to finish as for Crepe.

Climb as for Real Crumpeteer exiting via Ramp Tramp.

Start as for Rindless and finish as for Bermuda.

Start as for Sit the Nice Edges, complete a full lap around Razoback, next climb as for Crumper before completing another lap around Razoback in opposite direction to previuos.

Climb Sit the Nice Edges past its crux before moving right full 360deg around boulder clockwise.

Climb Rindless past its crux before moving right full 360deg around boulder anticlockwise.

Climb Sit the Nice Edges past its crux before moving right full 360deg around boulder anticlockwise.

Climb Rindless past its crux before moving left full 360deg around boulder clockwise.

Direct version of Rindless sit starting matched on the crimprail, fraction more morpho than original.

Start both feet on bridging slab opposite Smokestack moving directly from the crimps of the arete, right and down into the low groove (avoiding the slab in between) before finishing up Rindless/KB. Contrived eliminate but quite good.

Start as for Nice Edges continue anticlockwise 360deg around block via Stile on KB side of boulder.

LHV of Sit the Nice Edges (StNE) starting left hand on edge, right hand on shark tooth moving up/right.

Climb Razoback standing start from the ground.

Sit start crack with hands in the lowest part of it and climb it to the top. A really, really, really nice lowball crack problem!

Stand variant to intrusion. Very height-dependent.

The most modern of any boulder problem in the ACT. Push you way up the slightly highball corner and go for gold!! The corner behind Odessa.

Standard sit-start problem.

Requires a little commitment through the overlap. Small holds, but use the pocket for your feet and you'll get through.

Bit height dependent as to the grade. Up through a compression move is closer to 3, or work to the high step first and it's more like 2. Good moves.

Traverse the front side of the boulder and up, on good holds.

Same start as GH. Cross to knob then move out right to good edge. Up to obvious jug then long move to left side pull to top out same as AT. Nice climbing.

Pockety traverse - before the main area (from the Engineers Cascade side) - probably want a pad for this one.

Boulder is located on the right side of waratah cave. Start on 45 rail and up into amazing undercling then to a hole through the rock. mantle up and over the top. Awesome features not so awesome rock quality

On the face about 4m left of Birth Canal's finish, there is a small ledge submerged just underwater. Stand here to start. traverse right across the face, under the roof, and finish through the hole as for Birth Canal

Move up the wall directly to the right of the pole. As hand holds run out move focus to your feet before grabbing for the top edge.

Starting at SOC, traversing from left ledge, across all the climbs staying in the middle of the rock, topping out at SRU.

Don't use bottom feet for ledges to add a grade.

Starting in the cave at the break, traverse the easiest line right all the way to the next cave.

Many variants with the most notable being to remain roughly same level as starting jugs until joining up with 'The Extractor' at flat jug in middle of scoop.

Start on the far right of the wall with hands matched on the solid lower ledge jugs. Traverse on juggy ledges left and top out once established on the prow.

Grade to be confirmed on repeats. Share your thoughts when logging

Stand start in break left of the runnel. Head up and left to top out.

Traverse left to right along the underhang.

Height-dependant lowball dyno. Harder for shorties.

Sit start on the good sidepull. Up and over the bulge.

Sit start with hands on obvious rail, reaching to left horn up high and mantle over. Reachy.

Sit start with hands in lowest 'jug' in the crack and move up via the mega jug, topping out through the high scoop.

Sit start under scoop. Straight up then right along lip before heading up left to the break. Top straight up and over.

Sit start right of block below large flake. Make your way up and through flake to top out.

I am the liquor but the jug ledge is OUT. Use crimps on the face instead for a harder top-out.

Sit start on low edge, head straight up to some slopey holds and use some trickery to top out.

Start behind trees on lowest ledge and make your way up slightly left then up to top out. Crux is 2/3 of the way up. Crack is not in.

On right hand side of the same bloc as The Aquarius.

Low start on small crimps. Climb up and left using good edges until you make the arete and then traverse up and right along it until you make the “V” shaped jug 2/3rds of the way up. Top out from there to finish.

The big tall pinnacle straight ahead past the statues and down the hill a fraction. High boulder. Start to right of shallow crack (beginning head height). Right and Left hand-half pad width crimp. Move up and shift left, placing right foot in shallow crack before moving back right to crimp. Work way directly up through a range of crimps and pinches to the main ledge roughly 1m from the top. Main ledge is about 6-7m up and huge-its a platform. Mantel finish- somewhat sketchy considering height. The moves on the face are relatively easy, the crux is low. Grade (V2/V3) reflects mental component and mantel finish at height.

Sit/crouch start with L/H on undercling and R/H on incut sloper. Hard first move into sloped edge on the right then make your way left to top out around the left side of the feature.

Up the NE slab right of Dial of the Gwydir via the thin seam to the break then right and up to finish.

Climb left of the slabby crack utilising it as an arete to gain the high left vertical crack before moving right to finish as for Dial of the Gwydir.

Up the slabby crack NE aspect to the break then move right(crux) and around to summit the bloc.

Stand/crouch far left of Western face/wall left foot on low shelf and left hand on juggy sidepull moving right to traverse the lip and top out via mantle into and up the juggy groove just left of the headstone.

Sit start and climb as for RF Karate Kid to gain the ledge, then moving left into and up No Turkeys!

Climb the right arete of NE vertical face right of RF No Turkeys! Summit main bloc for the tick.

Stand start on with feet on fallen flake in grass matched on good crimps. Work up in search of a shallow 2 finger pocket hidden in the moss. The hollow flake top will probably pop off soon enough solidifying a V3 grading.

Crouch start at base of Left Arete both hands matched on flat jug moving right into a lovely crux over an awkwardish landing before topping out via Right Arete.

Start as for Shothole Arete finish as for Armistice.

Start from upper ditch between Shothole Arete and No Shothole Slab to gain the side boulder via the shothole before moving right into and uo Drill Seam Arete.

West face of bloc, climb and exit on right, superb.

Start as ft. Or Ultimate Left traversing right and up via right arete.

Start feet either side of protruding drill seam to gain slab finishing as for Left Side.

Sit start sans left low slab for feet.

Crouch start as for Ramp Arete traversing the high ramp into and up Prow Arete.

Climb as for Broopy finish via Crimpy.

Sit start to the offwidth.

Climb Traverse finishing via the Flake Crackvar.

Start as for The Apricot Flake Sit finishing via Arete The Apricot.

Start as for The Apricot Indirect Sit finishing via Arete The Apricot.

Far left, gain four points of contact via arete and small crimp before popping for top, nice finish too. Fraction morpho, stay off block on left.

As for Cob Rock Bulge finishing via Bulgy Left.

Up Cob Rock, bridge over to base of Short Splitter traversing the base of slab left into and up Bulgy Left.

Direct up bulge left side of buttress via jugs and a potentially nasty landing.

Sit start left side of bloc right of seam moving right via pebbles into and up Seashell-on-Left.

Mantle the roof immediately left of the descent tree, tree brush/dab ok, pulling or stepping on tree is out.

Start as for Left Wall traversing right to finish via Great Wall Direct.
