26 | ★★★ Boab Business
Wow. This climb rips it in the way of exciting moves, exposure, sweet location and great quality rock. Possibly worthy of 4 stars!

20 | ★★★ 3D Disco
A killer line in an outrages position. One of the best routes at the Gold Mine. Step left with difficulty off the permaledge over the void to reach the undercling flake. Follow it to the corner then up this on massive jugs and finish up headwall. Lower-off into space and get your belayer to lasso you and haul you back in. As of 07/23 the permadraws no longer exist, though some rusted mallions are taking up space on the bolts FA: Rick Phillips, 2011 | 20m | |||
23 | ★★ Crash Test Dummies
Great sustained climbing all the way. Follows the line you rap down to access the permaledge. Shared first bolt with High Roller then straight up (with difficulty) to roof. FA: Rick Phillips, 2011 | 20m | |||

Amazonia | |||||
★★★ Adventureland (open project)
Open project- go for it. Start as for Amazonia for 3 bolts then take the left line through the roof and out out out. Overhangs at least 8m. There is also an extension which will be longer and nails hard. Set: Neil Monteith, 2013 | 25m | ||||
25 | ★★★ Amazonia
Really steep climbing on excellent rock - once you get past the first few metres. Either sketch up the brittle start or batman up to first bolt (add a star if you do this!). Hard move at first bolt involving slopers and a tricky highstep layback section. Up juggy flakes to mega roof - out this on mostly big holds and finish up killer headwall. Extended runners to avoid rope drag. Cleaning this route involves either a willing second or a combo or re-threading and back-jumping. FA: Neil Monteith, 2013 | 30m, 11 | |||
24 | ★★ More Fun Than a Bunch of Monkeys
Ridiculous steepness. The middle corner section seeps after rain, but can be mostly avoided by stemming, Stick-clip very high ringbolt and batman up to it. Tricky move up onto slab, then easy jugs up vertical wall to right edge of massive roof. Negotiate past green slime corner, then swing left and out massive roof on amazing horns to lip. Tough move over this then up overhung grey wall for even more pump. Cleaning this route involves either a willing second or a combo or re-threading and back-jumping. FA: Neil Monteith, 2013 | 28m, 11 | |||
Cafe Cruiser Wall | |||||
23 | ★★ Drop Tongue
As per Bromance, and keep moving left to obvious belay ledge. Camp out and battle the tougue and steepness on the second pitch. FA: Jason Lammers & Rick Phillips, 2011 | 32m, 2 | |||
21 | ★ Blackbutt (Bromance Direct)
Don't get offended with the name - it's a type of tree (Eucalyptus pilularis). Direct start to 'Bromance' starting about 6m left of the rungs. Stick clip first bolt and batman up so you don't get your feet wet in the muddy start (climbable in dry conditions). Bouldery on pockets then jam up the hand crack to join into 'Bromance'. Alternatively, (for a more strenuous finish), head left and do the 2nd pitch of 'Drop Tongue'. FA: Heath Black, 2011 | 30m | |||

Rock'n Tree Cave | |||||
29 | ★★★ The Simple Life

25 | ★★★ Jerkyll & Hyde
Split personalities. Technical slab climbing then outrageous endurance roof climbing. Starts in the middle of Monty's Cave below right facing corner and small tree stump. Up to shale band, then tricky pull into corner. Traverse rightwards across technical slab (grade 22) to right side of massive steepness. Power through initial bulge on pockets (some real, one fake) then left and out through series of rooflets all the way to the lip of the massive cave. Crank the lip and up hidden headwall above to lone U-bolt. Back jump roue to clean. Long slings on all bolts reduces rope drag considerably. Be a little careful with the honeycomb flake at the lip of the cave. Set: Neil Monteith, 2011 FA: Neil Monteith & Matt Pascoe, 2013 | 30m, 13 | |||
