Routes in Queensland

Mantle me, I dare you. Same sit rules as any boulder, stand up to finish. Found at Auburn River Campsite #4 unless some idiot moves a 15Kg rock around the camping area.

The full traverse. Sit start bubbles and traverse all the way to the left of the boulder. Mantle

Sit start the right arete, traverse left and mantle at Puddles.

Stand start on beautiful slopes. Make a move and mantle

Funky climbing out of the tube.

Sit-start with side-pull and flat edge. Womp! Sitting on the little boulder to reach holds makes for a fun start.

Sit-start on the arete using slopers. Series of squeeze to gain the mantle.

Stand-start the middle of the slab.

Stand-start on the right of the slab.

Sit start under the leaning off width crack. Yes it's as much fun as it sounds. Try not to break your arm.

Sit-start to The Shaman on low left crimp and pinch. Hard start.

Starts from the crimp in the middle of the wall. Big move to a very high edge then an even higher mantle finish.

Sit-start The Shaman from the far right of the boulder on shield (very hard) or from the crimps to the left (hard). Lowest start will be the hardest on the wall but not yet set.

Enter the funky scoop fang feature, mantle the lip from the inside.

Sit start. Classic style fingers and layback crack.

Easy starting in the hueco.

Figure out your footing and stand-start on the smooth crimps. Mantle!

Sit start in the chasm matched on blocky triangle slope. Do some dancing, make some 3d moves to a glorious top out.

Oliver Rickford

Classic slab problem stand starting on the large sloping edge. Follow holds facing the wrong direction and whip out your indoor slabbing technique to complete a desperate finishing sequence.

Nice sit start to airy top out.

Great Holds, sit start.

Project around to the right of Better Than Cortison. Sit start sloping rail.

Sit start the left bulge. Rh good finger jug. Lh on sidepull. Mind the fall.

Stand start matched on rail at chest height on the right side of the boulder. Traverse left and mantle at the highest point.

3 stars - One of the best lines at Auburn.

John Newby

1 star - Same start as Overexposed but go straight up.

Hard unpleasant line just right of Horror-shima.

Stand start off positive crimps, worth doing.

Directly below Overexposed (towards Welcome Boulders, maybe 15m) there is a highball. There is a diagonal crack line (trending up and right)The problem has room for a small boulder mat on a rocky ledge then there is a steep ramp and drop beyond that small space. Have a good spotter or 2. The problem is easy just mind the loose rock and big fall. Fun.

Crumbly crack line.

Found on the western side of the overexposed boulder. High compression start. Heel and mantle.

John's hard left rising crimp traverse to a mean top out. Destined to be an Auburn classic.

Stand start matched on high crimp, move up through small holds to top out. Gentle on the flake.

Oliver Rickford

2 stars - Super classy line that shares the sit of The Chur-nobyl Project

The big boulder directly to the right of Higgs-Boson

Fun, just be careful at the top.

Sit start under the hanging pillar. Climb the pillar to the top.

Short powerful fun. Crouch, or tall climber sit, start on crimps. Throw to the ledge and mantle.

Opposite Cooling Tower, climb up to a rocky terrace. Climb across the high rail to out on the right end of the boulder.

1 star - Sit start left of the blocky cave and punch left over big block.

John Newby - 01.24

Sit start right of Rob's V2 matched on the blocky corner, move out to large undercling then to a nice mantle.

Oliver Rickford

2 stars - Sit start in the blocky cave and thug up over the flat edge.

John Newby - 00.05

Sit start deep in the overhung crack, jamb your way up to a nice mantle.

Oliver Rickford

1 star - Crank up over the left end of the boulder on slopey crimps. Can climb into it from a sit start all the way under at V4.

1 star - Sit start in the middle of the main boulder using chock stones to pull on. Throw left and traverse using small crimps for hand and massive ledge for feet to finish up '3a'

Sit start at Bush Poo and straight up on small crimps.

Oliver Rickford

John Newby - 00.46

Hard start from a sit, up the arete to an easy finish.

2 stars - Sit start under right side of the boulder, traverse left of jugs along the break and slap up the left arete.

2 stars - Sit start as Turtle Power, move slightly left then up the middle on awkward holds.

John Newby - 01.55

1 star - Sit start then straight up on good flat holds.

Start on blocky ledge on the left side of the boulder traverse right into Turtle Power

Sit start compressing the arete, move up and top out the left side.

Oliver Rickford

Sit start under steep short pillar. Climbing the right side.

A fallen living tree is now blocking this line.

Opposite Ur move 2 move on the slab. Sit start Lh on blocky crimp on cavelet. Rh on crimp.

Sit start under steep blank wall. Big moves up. Only two moves but quite satisfying.

Oliver Rickford John Newby - 02.44

3 Stars

Sit start matched on the undercling, up and over.

Stand start with high slopey holds. Up and left.

Oliver Rickford

Same start as Incognito, but pump directly up through the steep up to the blocky feature.

Starts on slopers under the slab. Traverse right, gain the lip and hope you brought spare undies for the mantle up the corner. (The Hydrology boulder is likely to require draining of a pool which forms after rain. There may be a garden hose way back in the cave at the start of Birth Canal. Set up a siphon and come back later)

As for Hydrology except traverse over on to the boulder to the right.

Relentless compression problem with a powerful squat/sit using R crimp and L pinch/slope. Gaining the lip grants you the experience of a ridiculously committing and tricky mantle up the small corner. Grade needs confirmation V8 or V9.

Alt-start (sit) on R crimps for same/harder grade.

Oliver Rickford

Sit start way back in the cave on the low flat jug. 3D climb your way out and around using body and hand jamming to scramble up the boulder and out the top to glorious sunlight.

Straight up slab, left of the crack.

Layaway crack/flake. May be full of wasps.

Small overlap to short slab.

Vague arete

Straight up the blocky face

Round arete just left of the bush

Left end of bulge.

Sit start. Awkward but cool rockover at the right end of bulge. V0 from a stand start

Sit start and over bulge

Sit start on the low ledge. Tricky feet and big reach over. A contrived version goes further right at V4.

Stem/smear through small concavity. Watch the fall.Could be a 3 star line if the landing zone was nicer.

Sit start the short boulder with powerful crimps to start.

Sit start the right arete. Gaston/layaway to the top.

3 stars - Sit start/hang on the big hueco under the overhang and climb out through steep big moves.

John Newby - 1.03

2 stars - Same start as Wanderlust, but reach out left to the boulder just left of the blunt arete up crimps to a thoughtful mantle.

Project - Traverse further left, big throw to the sloping top and hard mantle.

Awkward sit start 😂 Lh good edge, Rh blocky meat wrap. Obvious pointy chockstone and the larger chockstones flat edge is out. Mind dabbing on the tree.

Oliver Rickford

Short but fun

Even shorter but still fun.

Deceptively difficult

Directly behind you when looking at Big Rob. Sit start on jugs on jugs at the left end and traverse right until you can easily step straight up. Finish with a quick slide back to the start.

Climb out of the hole, very cool

Jump start worth doing.

Stand start to Buddha's Right Elbow.

Sit start to Buddha's Right Elbow

Start on two main crimp rails (at head height) then straight up.

Oliver Rickford

Sit start for Belly Of The Buddha

Stand start on holds just below the lip.

Sit start for Beard Of The Prophet
