Nodes in Road House

Very nice road side bouldering:

Guide and access here: http://www.climb.org.au/index.php?page_id=10&action=crag&crag_id=463

A sweet little cave with great rock and a couple of fantastic lines. The only draw back is that water runs off the top out for a while after rain.

NB: There is a big flakey jug at the back L/H side of the cave that looks like it might snap off. It probably will! no problems use this hold

Esentially a more direct route to the extended line. Start as for that problem and gain the big mushroom type hold in the roof. From here fire a big move to a bad flat block in the roof and re-join the established line near the very end. All the Holds of the established are not used untill right near the end just before the big horn. Tricky, Tricky

Start: As for the Extended Line

Start as for curve ball and make moves to the big mushroom in the roof then big move left to the lip and continue a fridge hug/compression to top out as for backburner.

This problem starts as for the Established line but heads left, reversing the start of Extended line to gain the big rounded hole. Confused yet? I am.

Now move around to the left face and fire up for the top of the groove to top out.

Start: As for Established line

Sit start low in the back of the cave and follow out the obvious line of incut edges to the big horn. Slap around to the slopey top out. slighty easier if you finish a bit over right but often wet.

Start: At the back of cave matched on first incut edge

Start for the Established Line. Climb straight into the mushroom and finish as for Curve Ball. Drop a grade if you use holds on the established line for your feet.

Crawl way down in the back of the cave, all the way down there in the little stream. Follow the rail leftish to the big pocket,then some tricky moves back right lead back into the establish line. Finish as this problem.

Start: Way down the left hand side of the cave 'matched' at the base of the toilet bowel scoop. can be sit started if it's not too wet

The easiest problem here and a nice one too. Basically start up Fast ball but from the big jug break left and finish up established line. Not easy

Start: As for Fast ball

This is the nastiest finish going. Frustration! and it's usually wet. Start on some deep breaks at the back r/h side of the cave. Climb out to the big obvious jug now try to climb directly out the very steep roof to the rounded top out 1m right of the other problems. Uses the bad bad pinch type hold that looks like it may have broken. Heart breaking last throw to the slopers

Start: Back r/h Side of cave

As for fast ball but move left through poor holds to slap out the blunt left hand little 'Arete' of the cave. Still avoids using any holds from the established line for your hands especially the huge jug on the lip.

Start: Sit start as for 'Back Burner'

Start as for 'Curve Ball' and finish as for 'Fast Ball' or 'Fast Ball Variant'. Harder than 'Bases Loaded' but not enough for an upgrade.

Start: As for Extened Line and link into all of fast ball or fast ball variant from the back ledge. Does not use any of the finish holds of 'Extended line' The big lip jug is off!

Start at 'back burner' and reverse the 'established line' and come back up via 'Curve Ball' and finish as for that problem.

Start on right most jug and dyno to the lip. Mantle straight over.

Start as for established line and head to right big dinner plate jug. Then head straight out through small crimps and an undercling near the lip in the middle of the lip.

Start as for extended line but finish as for batter up

Left hand side of the break down lane.

A fun dyno, from the undercling jump directly to the lip. Jumpfest

Start: Stand Matched on undercling

Climb the corner using some intermediate side pulls

Start: As for 'Jettison', on the undercling

Climb the blank slab by jumping or smearing your way up to the flat top ledge. Often wet

Start: Standing in front of blank slab

Climb the arete type thing using only the corner and pinches on it before making a big move to the lip. The holds on the right face are off.

Start: Standing at left leaning feature

Climb the little face veering right

Start: Standing

Climb past the hole and over. Usually wet

Start: Standing below the dirty seeping hole

Climb up and right on super slopey features avoiding the crack on the left. Classic subtle sloper pulling

Start: Standing 1m right of the hole just before the rooflet, starting with a slopey R/H edge

Standing up is the trick to this one. climbs great once you know how. Has been done hands free

Start: Standing on ledge at the rounded nose

Sit start at the right most point of the horizontal break under the rooflet. Traverse left a few moves, then break out to the lip. Using the series dishes on the face for hands, kick the feet over to the arete and mantle over to join "Shin Splints" and top out.

A nice wall with slopey features. 'Road side assistance V7' is classic sloper slapping.

Start 1-2m to the right of the crack with left and right hands in two dimple pockets, smearing the seam. Hop up left hand to a bad slopey hold and press your way out. (How do you grade a mantle?)

Start: Matched on the slopey lip right of the scoop.

Move straight up and over the super slopey lip to mantle using some small slopey features over the top.

Start: Sit start before the R/H arete type business for a weird start on some underclings.
