20 | Crystal Method
It is the line immediately right of spangelic upstarts on a reddish wall with an obvious right diagonal seam through a head wall. Even with several rain storms this route drys very quickly and was put up between showers! Start down and right from the belay at the start of spangelic upstarts and bogan villager at ground level between two obvious moss streaks. Climb an easy slab past three BR, need hangers. DBB,25m. Pitch two heads straight up past a thin seam with three or four micro nuts and cams. Continue up steeper terrain and the diagonal seam past six FH and a number seven rock or offset cam in that range. very cool and thought provoking moves through the head wall to a DBB. Classic pitch. Single 60m rope will suffice. See Mini-guide: https://www.climberswa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/2014-Gibraltor-Rock-New-Routes-1-Warning.pdf | 50m, 2 | |||
17 | Possum
About 30m right of Illusions of Grandeur there is a sharp gully. The climb takes the slab wall on the left of this gully, to the first bolt belay. Then head straight up to the summit in three easier pitches. 2nd pitch has 3 bolted runners and bolt belay. R&R Master | 160m | |||
23 | A Call to Arms
Follows a direct line up a weakness in the face through an obvious cave halfway between Rooster Carnage and Joint Venture; strenuous and committing. 180m grade 23 Pitch 1 Up ill defined grove into shallow cave; through cave (crux) and belay above on bolts (grade 23). Pitch 2 Up shallow grove to nearly full rope length on spaced natural pro. Belay where possible (grade 17) Pitch 3 Straight up easy slab to top, long run outs on good rock (grade 12) #Note bolts in top of cave protecting crux may need replacing. FA: R Master, 1999 | ||||
19 | ★ Dance of the Slab Spiders
Starts at the narrow slabby tongue that extends to the ground about 100m right of Joint Venture. The climb goes up the wall just to the right of the obvious mossy drainage line that is topped by bushes 70m above the ground. Pitch 1: 15m 16 Up the slab trending right past 3BR to the pod and DBB. First bolt is a little high as it was meant to be the second bolt but unfortunately the battery died drilling the final hole! If you’re up for the second pitch you should have no problems here. Pitch 2: 50m 19 Straight up the well featured face past 11BR to ledge and DBB. A 50m rope will suffice but don’t use too much at the belay. Be careful of loose flakes off the main line. The line up the bolts was cleaned but there are some flakey sections where a delicate touch is recommended. Exercise good judgement. Crux at the obvious steepening 3/4 of the way up. Good climbing up steep, well featured and sharp rock. From the top of the second pitch it’s still 70m to the top but a relatively easy scramble up the slab.

18 | Custardly
Left hand line of weakness through the slab. 10 bolts. Pleasant climbing up grooves and scoops to a delicate, slabby crux up high. Well protected. Really worthwhile. FA: Katherine Swain, Neil Gledhill & conrad slee | 40m, 7 | |||
19 | Excess Grip
Right hand line of weakness through the slab and then up the arete. Easy climbing on grooves takes you to a delightful, delicate and sustained rising traverse to a sloping arete. Up this and then easily to the top. Great climbing and a memorable position. Very grippy smearing ! FA: katherine swain, Neil Gledhill & conrad slee | 40m, 7 | |||
18 | Pick the Flora, Eat the Fauna
A fun route with two varied pitches, Pick the Flora and then Eat the Fauna. Surprisingly different slab climbing on each pitch, easy access and an expansive mid way ledge make it a worthwhile route. Pitch 1 starts left of the slabby dike that leads to Fairy Steps. Pitch 2 starts left of the main steeper dike line climbed by Fairy Steps. The dike line is easy to spot, just down from the saddle between Marmabup Rock and Devil’s slide.
