Routes in Townsville

Traverse L.

Sit start.

Bridge problem.

Starting right of the tree, squeeze up the dihedral onto the boulder then continue up the slab.

Right foot on the low side pull, mantle up and continue up the slab.

Face only. See also 'Unnamed #13 Variant'

Face and arete for LH. See also 'Unnamed #13'.

Face and arete to a tricky mantle.

Face between the two aretes with an awkward landing.

A fun, short, dynamic problem. Up arete in one big move. Watch the flake.

A nice warm up.

Short round mantle.

Middle of blank slab.

RH end of slab. Step L onto big foothold.

Traverse from the LH arête along lip. Exit before flake.

Sit start on big flake.

Obvious flake. Also see "Hot Scoop Sit Start".

Sit start for "Hot Scoop”

From centre of scoop using L arete.

From centre of scoop straight upwards avoiding LH arête and jugs R. See also "Lisa V4"[2218334514].

Sit start of Scoop Direct and is even more desperate!

Start as far R of the scoop as possible and traverse L, topping out L of the scoop, (as for Scoop Left). Can also be done in reverse.

A V4 sit start on the small boulder behind the scoop boulder, tackling the tiny overhang.

1m L of “Slip Toe Ridge”. A short slab.

1m L of “Granulate”. Up through bulge.

Variant of “Uncle Slabbers”. The Scoop just L without the sidepull.

Centre of face via good in-cut sidepull.

Stand start just L of Present Tense with high RH hold. Not very good.

Obvious steep crack a few meters R of the above problem. Start sitting with both hands in the crack. Sharp but classic, if you are into that sort of thing.

The standing start to Present Tense.

Pleasant face and a great kiddy problem.

"The Inner Circle" classic problem with lovely technical moves. Up the L leaning vague arête. This is normally done from a sit start, although the stand is no easier.

Continue "Fall from Grace" L along the slopey lip till you reach the other arete and mantle here.

Slabby arete and face just L of block. Good.

A variant of Deception. Sit start. Even better!

Up small block.

Variant of "Righty Tighty Stand Start" Sit start the RH side of the block and up.

The steep flake and arête on the uphill face, starting just R of the tree.

The sit start of "Gone In 15 Seconds" adds some interesting moves.

The dead rotting tree was removed after it half fell down, creating a dangerous hazard for climbers but also exposing a new face on the boulder.

Standing start off opposing side-pulls, move directly up the vague arete on side-pulls and crimps to a blank top-out.

The high slab on the opposite side of Fall From Grace. Work through the low scoop and then up onto a balancy top.

Add the sit start, with the lower of the two LH sidepulls and a RH sidepull barely off the ground, for a tough, thin and sustained problem.

Wall just R of above problems starting with LH on high small crimp and RH on lower sidepull.

A reference to the holds rather than a swipe at any particular political preference! Sit start off the block (or crouched start) into above problem. Starts with low RH sidepull. Technical and crimpy.

Sit-start on the RH arête.

Sit-start in the middle at obvious rail.

Links the sit start of The Other Way, R into the start of The Wrong Way via a tough thin traverse, and adds a couple of grades.

Sit start on RH arête, and then traverse L along the lip, (not using obvious jug over the top), continuing around the LH arête and mantle just around the corner.

RH tiny arête.

in the middle of the overhung face using horizontal break.

Steep slopey layback flake up crumbly boulder that's a nice breather from the crimps. Best from a crouched start.

Slab with steep start on back end of the boulder. Also see "Delicat Variant".

Variant of "Delicat". Start to the R off the low jug.

Starts at "Delicat", on the mushroom boulder. Move up and diagonally L, hanging off the very vague arête. Big move to reach the slopey dish out L and then mantle. Alternatively, traverse in via the variant start "Magic Mushrooms Variant"[1993018338].

An alternative traverse in to "Magic Mushrooms" from the variant start.

Start just R of Timeout, with both hands using the small roof as an undercling. Pull on and throw up and L for the flake and finish up this.

Starting from LH on the big low jug and RH on sidepull.

Arete just L of Spiderman. Great.

Centre of face starting off obvious rock, moving R to finish.

Spiderman started directly under the finishing holds.

Linked with The Ashes.

Mantle straight above the block, avoiding the jugs out L and R.

Face just R of Beached Whale.

Arete just L of ”Earthling” with tricky moves toward the top.

Traverse R from Beached Whale, around The Ashes arête to the end of the boulder and up the easy arete. Stay quite low during the traverse.

Another excellent technical arete starting from lowest level at the ground.

Take the Tumble arete from the RH side. Bad landing.

1.5m L of Tumble. Up to join vague arete (RH side of scoop).

Into the scoop anyway you want and then move R to exit. A little spooky.

Also a little spooky. Up the middle of the scoop. Can use the LH arête.

Fun.

Short little blank slab about 2m L of Easy Crack. Can be done direct or going L.

Thin Crimps following a diagonal seam and desperate mantle

Sit start with both hands on obvious edge and up via slopes and crimps to a good finishing jug. Watch the spikey block underneath!

Variant of 'Snorkel'. Pull L onto face.

Variant of 'Snorkel'. Low start eliminating starting edge of original problem.

Sit start as per Snorkel, then traverse right, using the slopes along the obvious lip, finishing on the RH arete in front of the small tree.

See the V4 variant, 'Breathless VF'.

As for Breathless but continue around the arête and finish up as for 'Nibbles'.

Technical face and arete, staying R of arete. Better than it looks.

'Any Which Way' but without using the arête.

Starts straight on at the base of the above arete and then moves L onto face.

Starts standing with 2 sloping underclings, (big one for LH and small one on arete for RH). Brutal move to stand up and then slap up RH arete. A little easier if you start off the block.

Slightly contrived problem tackling the face between 'Left Cocky' and 'Vertical Therapy'. Doesn't use either arete and finishes via the great jug at the top. Slopey holds to the top.

Face and vague arete, with improving LH sidepulls, finishing via the great jug.

Arete from R side, moving R to the same finishing jug as 'Vertical Therapy'.

Same arete as 'Sunset Delights', only from the L side, with some nice layback moves.

Face, starting from lowest level, 1m L of 'Keith's arete of Destruction'.
