20 | ★★ Matricide
The largest boulder has two impressive cracks in it. The wider, right hand one is Matricide. Approach the boulder from the downhill side to avoid a barricade of logs. Burly, overhung fist-corner crack with an off-width start. Takes blue and grey cams most of the way. Gear belay on top, then scramble off the back. FA: Rob Topfer & Lucas Trihey, 1981 | 12m | Pierce's Creek | ||

One of the best highball finger cracks at Pierces - sit start up vertical finger crack! FA: Ryan Macpherson | 5m | Pierce's Creek | ||

Traverse the back side of the Asia Block. Start up Taza, and traverse at mid height to join the top of Tip Toe Arete. FA: Pete, 2016 | 6m | Pierce's Creek | ||
V2 | ★★★ Wasabi
One of best problems in the ACT!!! Highball crack line, stand start up the arete using the corner for feet to gain the crack, then up the crack to the top and mantle up to top out. If you add an awkward sit subtract 2 stars and give yourself an extra grade. Descent by jumping to the next boulder then down the chimney. May have been the first boulder problem done in Pierces in the 80's when the crack's were climbed. FA: unknown, 1980 | 6m | Pierce's Creek | ||

V2 | ★ Play with Fire
20m or so along the ridge from the Paint it Black boulder, heading right/up when you reach the barbed wire. This boulder is down on the left after a few metres. Sit start on the left side of the arete, and then up using the horizontal seam and holds on the arete. Beware the top stacked block round to the right on the way down, as its quite wobbly. | 3m | Pierce's Creek | ||

V2 | In Amber Clad
Stand start to the right of crack using broken low flake for feet. Pulling on the low flake hard would be a bad idea. | 3m | Pierce's Creek | ||
