Routes in Cairns for selected grade

Start matched on the low rail, straight up through board style goodness.

Stand start matched on jug, follow line of holds up and out of the hole via big committing move. Rock behind is very dabbable, controlling the swing is a great lesson in core movement. Landing needs rebuilding after floods.

Start as for Well, then move left into Soft wood.

Callum Mather

The extension to Intuition. Start ~2m underneath roof with good undercut edges above the freestanding boulder below. Using this boulder for feet, move through series of edges on roof to gain the sloping lip. Traverse L through crux into -and finish - as for Intuition.

Start wide with RH on the start hold of Reflections and LH on a small scoopy crimp. Contort your way into and finish as for Reflections.

Sit start under overhang with good left pinch and high right edge. Hard move to slot, then gain unique features on slab and topout into fern opening.

Sit start with good RH crimp and flat LH sidepull. Move left to good blocky edge and use either this or the pinch above to move out right to crimp before going to good hold below lip. Top out straight up.

Steeeeeeep... Sit start, low under the 50-60 degree overhung roof, L of the tree, in large, obvious scoop with good underclings. Climb directly out through mix of various features to gain lip, mantle and top out as for The Uncertainty Principle.

Glen Hayford

Sit start with good edge and small side pull. Up the arete on crimps, with crux revolving around the sharp edge on the face.

Access via minor clearing at big loose rock sign near very first carpark.

Traverse from low right along sloping rail to thin crack and arete block to gaston face crack and topout.

Sit start under prow with pocket and jug. Move up and left, before bearing down on a sharp crimp on the face and going out to a slot. Finish up and right.

Start low on right undercling and small left crimp. Move up to the sloper and finish as for Rocket Man.

Straight up the hanging face on crimps from a stand start.

Start on lowest set of opposing gastons where the two seams meet. Work your way up the thin crack, following it diagonally up and right.

This climb/boulder is partly tucked away right by the main waterfall, same side as (but a little upstream of) BBBIU.

Hard right most line of holds. Use none of the holds from LS except the 2 sit start holds and topout jug. All sharp edges (and one ultra micro).

Jared Tyerman (Attempts & beta)

Start low on crimp right of the arete and wobbly crimp just left of arete. Traverse left on small edges before mantling and finishing up the slab.

Sit start (may need to stack a pad) under clean overhung face, compressing on wide pair of small edges. Move up compression moves to good blocky feature and finish as for Carcharodon.

Highball boulder located up the hill behind Tall Tales and Clinging to Coal etc.

Sit start side pulling good right hand edge, and left hand on vague features in the dihedral. Compress your way up through the crimp rail to gain the obvious lay back feature and follow into a highball topout.

Sit start on pair of jugs at base of arete. Obvious block is OUT. Move up arete using RH sloper rail and LH sidepulls, big move to good edge to top out.

Sit start on pair of low undercling jugs in middle of face. Traverse out right along obvious horizontal rail to gain the right arete. Trend slightly left to gain edges over lip, before heading up and right to top out.

Falling from above the lip is likely to land you in the ankle breaking pit behind, be careful.

Found just on the uphill side of the Understing boulder.

Up on the hillside before you get to Opal etc. A cool prow but a bit dirty. Sit-start (right hand on the good crimp at head height, left hand on low sidepull) and climb the prow. Eases at the top.

Stand start on double gastons, move through the black and gold streak on small crimps. Gain the arete and finish as for Tall Tales.
