beginners TR trip, crap rock and crap holds, you would want to lead it
	19	★ Vulcan	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Average	Hillsy	Sat 16th Oct 2004
Tough crux
	19	★ Vulcan	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Campbell Gome	Sun 21st Sep 2003
Bit soft for the grade? Couldn't get the final moves (Frustrating)
	19	★ Vulcan	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Jason	Sat 26th Feb 2011
Stoked
	16	★ Vulcan	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Average	Geoff Denans	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Staircase at the start, more challenging further up. Need to try it straight up.
	19	★ Vulcan	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Average	Geoff Denans	Sat 22nd Nov 2014
Really nice crack. I found it was very much in the feet placement, and the hand jams.
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Glenn Tempest	Mon 2nd Feb 2015
Linked 'Snatch and Grab' into this for a better and more sustained climb.
	19	★ Vulcan - with Phil Sidaway, Michael Mink	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Average	Bernd Schiffer	Fri 25th Mar 2016
It's okay. No pro. Few good moves. Nothing special.
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys - with Anthony Cuskelly	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Don't Bother	Sam Thompson	Mon 8th May 2017
A bit underwhelming.
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys - with jimmy	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Andreas Aachen	Sat 28th Jul 2018
Actually quite fun if you don't use the back wall at all. Obviously contrived!
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge		Sam Lee	Sun 12th Aug 2018
Very hard to tell what’s on / off route. Few good moves. Gear placed by Jimmy
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Average	Poppy	Mon 3rd Sep 2018
Don't like the pro down low but some of it is decent. If two minds to put the effort in to red point
	19	★ Vulcan - with Kellie Egan, Sally, Jane, Sara	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Ian.Grabowski	Sat 16th Mar 2019
Guiding mates. Really fun moves.
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys - with Nicholas Stanley	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Poppy	Thu 28th Apr 2022
Fun kneebar, could do with a rebolt
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge		Alex Casar	Mon 10th Jul 2023
Two tricky moves
	19	★ Vulcan	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge		Alex Casar	Mon 10th Jul 2023
Struggled more than expected during most of the climb
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	Average	Matt Brooks	Sun 30th Jul 2023
Hard to not bridge R
	19	★ Vulcan - with Nick M	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Matt Brooks	Sun 3rd Sep 2023
Straight up the corner climbs better
	19	★ Vulcan - with Vendi	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	ThorAss	Sat 14th Oct 2023
First time leading having toproped it before it was retrobolted.
	19	★ Vulcan - with Hayden Cronin	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Michael Ave	Fri 3rd May 2024
I really enjoyed this climb, so fun and keeps you focused
	22	Cut-lunch Cowboys	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Joe Bummer	Sat 25th May 2024
Contrived, but moves are as good or better than a lot of the bolted lines that get a star here.
	23	Never Out Gunned - with T-Bone	Mixed trad 14m, 3	Werribee Gorge		Poppy	Mon 8th Aug 2022
Some worthwhile moves up there, fun! The hangers look to be a different finish from the bolts, and the bolts themselves don't seem to have adequate thread exposed with barely enough gripping the nuts. Needs to be re-bolted.
	23	Never Out Gunned	Mixed trad 14m, 3	Werribee Gorge		Alex Casar	Sat 20th May 2023
trickier than i expected. looks easier from the ground
	17 16	★ Pet of Demetrius	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	Average	James Scott-Bohanna	Fri 3rd Sep 1999
scary felt like the whole cliff was going to fall down. Again 01/08/02

	17 16	★ Pet of Demetrius	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	Average	Matthias Vigelius	Mon 28th Nov 2011
heh, two nuts came out on the traverse so clipped the bolts.. also had to rest on the crux.
	18	★ Rusty Nail	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Steve Gretton	Sun 26th Aug 2012
One rest on the second bolt
	18	★ Rusty Nail	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Almar Postma	Mon 28th Jan 2013
Punchy for an 18! Its all so subjective..
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Amelie	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Mikie Bob	Sun 23rd Jun 2013
Nice crux move requiring superb balance
	18	★ Rusty Nail	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Mikie Bob	Sun 27th Oct 2013
Good warm up for Snatch and grab
	20	★ Ebony - with Henk Dam	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Almar Postma	Mon 21st Apr 2014
Quite some nice moves, over too soon.
	17 16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Michael Salt	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	amelie	Fri 22nd Aug 2014
Fun...step around the corner is quite interesting
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Amelie Scheichl	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Mikie Bob	Fri 22nd Aug 2014
Very interesting...
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Noel	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	Average	Chris Harper	Sun 11th Jan 2015
A couple of tricky moves.
	17	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Victor, and Perrine	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge		Geoff Denans	Sun 26th Apr 2015
Awesome traverse. Lead by Victor.
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Phil Sidaway, Mark Switzer, Claudio Amarilla	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Bernd Schiffer	Sat 20th Jun 2015
In the rain. Tricky crux. Took me 2 attempts to overcome it.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Michael Smith	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Bernd Schiffer	Sun 23rd Oct 2016
Very much enjoyed this one. Great traverse, arete tricky but doable, nice crack/face on the last third. Good protection everywhere. Very sustained grade 16 climbing; got quite tired at the end.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Dan	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Cameron Hickling	Sat 19th Nov 2016
Got my rope stuck Coming around the nose. Climbing with Dan, beginner with indoor top roping experience.
	17 16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Michael Smith	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Bernd Schiffer	Sun 9th Jul 2017
2nd go, still awesome. Belaying from top much nicer than from bottom (less rope drag).
	20	★ Ebony	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Werribee Gorge		james ritchie	Sat 23rd Dec 2017
Felt like 21.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Wenny L	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Babak Shoeiby	Sun 29th Apr 2018
Fun climb, a bit committing sometimes. Good resting spot around the arete. Rope is bound to get stuck under the flake, unless you pull it very slowly.
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Caitlin Minney	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Channa Dias Perera	Fri 6th Jul 2018
Actually not bad but definitely a one move wonder, near the start, around the bolts.
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Channa Dias Perera	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge		Caitlin Minney	Fri 6th Jul 2018
After a struggle at the crux the top is an easy climb
	17 16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Timmy Wong	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	Average	Tom Hodges	Mon 9th Jul 2018
Moves around the arête are nice but after that the rock is shit.
	18	★ Rusty Nail	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge		Sam Lee	Sun 12th Aug 2018
Not amazing - couple good moves. Gear placed by Jimmy
	18	★ Rusty Nail	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Tom Hodges	Sat 1st Jun 2019
Took a whip on a small nut above the crux on the onsite. Also finished up Hadrian's finger crack.
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Dhruva Horsfall	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Harrie Van de Linde	Sat 8th Jun 2019
quite reachy for first few moves
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Marcus Eriksson, Steve Buckham	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Bernd Schiffer	Sat 31st Aug 2019
2 times on top-rope. Tricky crux. Don't have the reach. beta: Used a small two-finger crimp at the crux to bump myself up about 5 cm to the better crimpy hold. Easy after that.
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Marcus Eriksson, Steve Buckham	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Bernd Schiffer	Sat 31st Aug 2019
After two tries on top-rope, led it with preplaced gear. Nerve wracking but rewarding.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Stephen Carter	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Nicole C	Fri 27th Sep 2019
fun until I had to get around the aerate. couldn't work it out for ages. stuffed around moving gear for ages too.
	18	★ Rusty Nail - with Stuart Boyd	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Almar Postma	Fri 4th Dec 2020
Another CoViD 19 warm up Lead on Stewies pre-placed gear.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Keyvan	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	ThorAss	Sun 22nd May 2022
Good route.
	20	★ Ebony - with Josh Ring	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Poppy	Tue 14th Jun 2022
Couple of nice moves then it's all over. Not so bad if you clip the first two bolts of FR, I had the second with a long draw on it.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge		Herman Potgieter	Sun 19th Jun 2022
Second
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Keyvan	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	ThorAss	Sun 7th Aug 2022
Another route done on 2nd, now led clean.
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Mark Switzer	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Bernd Schiffer	Sun 22nd Jan 2023
Haven't climbed it in years. Still love it. Remembered to manage the rope on the corner to it doesn't get stuck. Trad all the way. Mark seconded.
	20	★ Ebony	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	@dalai	Sun 2nd Jul 2023
Really enjoyed this.
	20	★ Ebony - with @dalai	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Matt Brooks	Sun 2nd Jul 2023
Nice fun mixed route now. Really enjoyable.
	20	★ Ebony - with @dalai	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Matt Brooks	Sun 2nd Jul 2023
Really fun little mixed lead
	18 ~20	★ Rusty Nail - with will	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Slackaction	Fri 25th Aug 2023
Huge sand bag. But nice moves, not a good warm up choice, got flash pumped. Feel like it would have gone if I was warmed. Next time!
	16	★ Pet of Demetrius - with Tim Schofield	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Karina Schofield	Sun 14th Jan 2024
That move around the arete was very tricky and a bit scary.
	18 Hard	★ Rusty Nail - with Jet Winter, Tim Schofield	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Karina Schofield	Sat 13th Apr 2024
Was a bit tricky to figure out the beta without touching Big Ears but it didn't feel tooooo contrived. It's definitely possible and the moves felt good.
	18 Hard	★ Rusty Nail - with Jet Winter, Tim Schofield	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Karina Schofield	Sat 13th Apr 2024
Climbed it again to show Tim the beta, and the tip of a side pull snapped off in my hand, resulting in a small whip on my black totem.
	18	★ Rusty Nail	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Werribee Gorge		ThorAss	Sun 5th May 2024
Struggled on this one. Only way I could do the crux was using the left hand crack. I can see how to do it but seem to lack the strength. Maybe. Also tried it on TR without any improvement but was pretty pumped by then.
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	James Scott-Bohanna	Thu 8th Aug 2002
again 06/10/03
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Cam McKenzie	Sun 24th Jun 2007

	24	★★ Toulouse Lautrec (Early Days)	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Phil Neville	Sun 1st Jun 2003
Looks to be rather bold lead
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Andrew	1998
very enjoyable, but I wouldn't recommend falling
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Phil Neville	Sat 4th Jan 2003
great climb...
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Simon Dale	Mon 9th Jun 2003
went the wrong way came off
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Alister Robertson	Sun 19th Sep 2004
2nd shot. great climbing
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Campbell Gome	Mon 9th Jun 2003
Excellent variety for a short climb! Balancy beginning, thin pockety moves and a finger crack at the top
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	DOT	Sat 3rd Sep 2005
Fantastic! Would be a hectic lead..
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Randall	Thu 3rd Jun 2004
not a good warm-up on lead
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Andrew Scott	Sun 4th May 2008
Solid moves
	22	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Bruce Leigh Drasdo	Sat 25th Sep 2004
tough
	22	★★ Slave Girl - with Henk Dam	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Almar Postma	Mon 21st Apr 2014
Pumpy on top rope, this would be a bold lead! Great crip and finger crack climbing!
	22	★★ Slave Girl - with Jules	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Chris Harper	Sun 20th Jul 2014
Just missed getting it clean after hanging in there for a fiddly nut tool cam retrieval. Very inspiring!
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	Average	gaetan	Sat 22nd Sep 2012
weird crux
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl - with Noel	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Chris Harper	Sun 11th Jan 2015
Spent way too long fiddling with gear and came off the upper crux.
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Fil Kindblad	Fri 23rd Jan 2015
Good gear and good moves. Putting the two together is the challenge.
	24	★★ Toulouse Lautrec (Early Days) - with Bernie	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Andreas Aachen	Sun 21st May 2017
First shot (on preplaced gear)
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Hamish Donohoe	Sat 31st Aug 2019
Much easier not placing the gear, will try to red point ground up next time
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl - with Nicole C	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Poppy	Fri 12th Feb 2021
Got the gear beta, but will take a bit to get the power-endurance to lead. Worthy of working towards, great moves.
	22 22 R	★★ Slave Girl - with Nicole C	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Poppy	Mon 24th May 2021
Gear up on lead and properly laced up; almost all bomber pieces. Kept it together for a thrilling and pumpy finish.
	22 R	★★ Slave Girl - with angus meehan	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Werribee Gorge		Tom Parker	Fri 14th Jul 2023
Ouch
	17	★★ Centurion	Trad 20m	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Tony Williams	Wed 24th Nov 1999
great crack.
	17	★★ Centurion	Trad 20m	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Phil Neville	Fri 3rd Jan 2003
the nicest crack ive ever done.... deserves more attention
	17	★★ Centurion	Trad 20m	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Hannah Lockie	Sat 25th Mar 2006
a good line but really chossy. a bit of a rough approach walk.
	12	Claudia - with Henk	Trad 10m	Werribee Gorge	Average	Almar Postma	Wed 2nd Apr 2014
And we top-roped it after Brutus.
	16	★ SPQR Right-hand Variant - with Amelie Scheichl	Trad 12m	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Mikie Bob	Sat 14th Jun 2014
This alternate outing to SPQR makes the end way more exciting and enjoyable. Make sure the gear goes in deep as the cracks do have a "crumbly" appearance too them.
	16	★ SPQR Right-hand Variant	Trad 12m	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Geoff Denans	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Nice second warm up!
	17	★★ Centurion - with Julie Hjorth	Trad 20m	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Lewis	Sun 1st Mar 2015
Well worth the epic we had trying to find it. I'll add directions on here so others might find it a bit easier. I accidental tried climbing something else thinking it was Centurion but unfortunately it was a crumbling loose death trap.
	17	★★ Centurion	Trad 20m	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Dave Scarlett	Sat 23rd May 2015
Fantastic hand jamming crack, somewhat similar in style to Black Ian's Rocks. Don't even look at it if you can't jam. Gear was mostly cams around BD #0.75-1, no bigger than #2, plus large nuts.
