V3 | ★ #26
Sit start from the crimps low down to the incut then straight up. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ Vampires Fang
Small sloper traverse on wedge shaped boulder to the right of main group. Sit start on distinctive fang then up and right to arete topout. FA: Stu & Mike, 2009 | Canberra | |||
V3 | ★★ #50
Vertical slab! Enough holds on top - just. If you're brave you'll mantel it. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★★ #65A
Sit start left side pull, climb face\arete and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 14 May 2015 | 4m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ Spacewalk
Sit start as for boulder #43, traverse out right, using anything reachable, topping out on the opposite side of the boulder. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ #25
On the boulder off to the left and downhill a bit from the acid traverse boulder. If you look closely you can still see the number written on the boulder where the climb starts. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | Spagnum
sit start problem on thin crack on left near "cave" to mossy topout | 2m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ #51
One of the taller problems on the Ridge, this is a lovely crack, and great for a bit of practice if you're a burgeoning crack fiend. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V6 | ★ Ares
Sit start, climb vague corner and top out. Watch your back. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V5 | ★★ Acid Reverse
Anticlockwise traverse of the acid boulder | Canberra | |||
V1 | ★ #23
Climb or dyno, either works. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0 | Precarious
Left of #32, start at left side (getting on is the crux) and head on up. If you go too far right, you're headed into Brown Trouser territory! | 3m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ #52
Another slab, one of the more highball problems on the ridge. Could stem it. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V9 | ★ Nuclear Power
Diesel Power without the chipped holds. Sit start using right hand gaston and left hand on vague arete. Climb bulge and top out. No stacking pads. FA: Bevan Ashby, 29 May 2015 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V9 | ★★ One Of These Days
Start as for Fairly Standard Lowball and after the crux moves of this climb traverse right as for Cassius. Consistently hard moves until you hit the glory jug. FA: Nick White, 4 Jul 2021 | 5m | Canberra | ||
V0+ | ★ Right of #25 (Sit Start)
Technical and balancy sit start. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V7 | ★ #7 arete variant
Bring spotters and mats and be prepared to fall. A few reasonable handholds, but expect to be 8 feet up falling onto hard packed earth should you not have eaten the wheaties to get yourself ready for this. Insecure, scary, dangerous. You have been warned. | 6m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ #53
Layback problem. Bit scary up top. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V8 | Chipped ★★ Frankenstein
Sit start jug right hand arete, traverse leftwards into Ares finishing up the latter. Set: Justin Ryan, 2012 | 6m | Canberra | ||
V8 | ★ Horse Stories
Sit start at Ares, traverse right and then finish up Hades. FA: Nick White, 4 Jul 2021 | 5m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ Arete left of #22 (Sit Start)
Around the corner from #22. Tricky start. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V4 | ★★ Brown Trouser Time
Left of #32 and a right-side variant of Precarious, direct up the face using the ridge is a heinously crimpy climb going at around V4. Heel hook seems to be required. Named for one of the would-be ascencionists, who on the day before had a large curry. FA: | 4m | Canberra | ||
V2 | #54
A slightly more forgiving angle than the other slabs around Sun Blocks, and a little shorter, this is still no easybeat. | Canberra | |||
V6 | The Wolf
Sit start from low rail, climb up trending leftwards and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 19 Jun 2015 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V4 | ★ Hug like harambe
Sit start with left hand on vague arete and right hand on far sloper. Slap your way up into easy top out. Harder if you're short FA: James Smith FA: 26 Sep 2021 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V1/2 | ★ The Dish (between #16 & #17)
Lovely compression climb just left of #17. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ Unnamed problem
Sit start, around the back end of a boulder that looks like a split cherry, but is not the split cherry. Nicely compressive and balancy, but only a move or two in it. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V0 | ★ #55
Slabby V0 climb. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V3 | The Sheep
Sit start from low rail, climb straight up and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 22 Jun 2015 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V4 | ★★★ Merge & Split
Sit start on jug. Traverse left round the corner into a sloper and undercling. Go straight up on the face for a crimp and sloper finish FA: Psalms Chia, 3 Feb 2023 | Canberra | |||
V1 | ★ #12 (squat start)
For anyone feeling strong - needs a sit added. Round the corner from #13, the arete climb. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V6 | ★ Icecream traverse
Open project - traverse the obvious ridge of the icecream boulder near to #6 - all the way! Crux is the section facing to the road. Has been attempted many times, including by a foreign climber doing 8b on rope! If you send it, please grade it. Quite a lot of the rock seems loose/hollow - use caution. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ #56
A nice climb with plenty of holds and a finish that really gets the blood pumping. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V5 | ★ Raw Beauty
Sit start from incut edge and undercling at base of rounded bulge. Climb straight up and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 27 Jun 2015 | 3m | Canberra | ||

V3 | ★ #20

V0 | ★ Cream of Some Young Climb
Straight up just left of the crack. Standing start. | 3m | Canberra | ||

Slightly easy for the grade - big holds and easy going. This is also the downclimb off the boulder. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0 | Left Arete
Sit start from base of arete, climb up trending rightwards and top out. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V7 | ★★ Cavers friend
Go around the back of the boulder with #56 find obvious hole crawl through and get squeezed. flip upside down and get a footjam, reach for a jug and mantle from lip. End up right of #56. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V1 | #10
Forget looking for holds - trust the friction, Luke. Sit start. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V4 | ★★ Musashi
Up the rock directly right of the crack. Standing start. Crux hold is a nice sloper. Very tensiony. Be careful of the blank topout. Slap up the arete if you wish but avoid getting into the crack. FA: David Nott, 2012 | 4m | Canberra | ||
V3 | #58
| 4m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ #16
Left of the dish - difficult to place feet until you get to the bucket. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V0 | Easy Leap
Dyno variant of Cream. Place feet, jump. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V3 | #59
| 4m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ #4
Bring a mat and a spotter - big sharp rock right in the fall zone. While this climb is quite short, it's also almost devoid of anywhere to place your feet. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2/3 | ★ Mosquito Traverse
Traverse left from about 1 metre right of #41 (shares a start with #41 LH variant), around to the big crack and up. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ #60
Sit start on left side of the obvious flake, then straight up flake to top. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ Between #26 and #27
Sit start (?) between #26 and #27. | 3m | Canberra | ||

Direct up the boulder starting about a metre left of #41, sharing a start with the mosquito traverse. Topout is dangerously blank - you have been warned. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V0 | ★ #61
Balance problem, great training for slab climbs. Of course, friends don't let friends do slab. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ Left of #57
Straight up, match foot/hand in the midway crack while balancing. Don't go too far right. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ Direct between #61 and #62
Slabby and balancy. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0- | #30
A nice warm-up. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0 | ★ Icecream Pleez?
From front of the icecream traverse boulder, up and left from a stand start, top out to the left. Straight up a fair bit harder. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V5 | ★★ Acid Traverse
Traverse the whole boulder (spraypainted boulder, home to The Dish and #s 14-18). Strenuous crimping/balance section, easy to fall off. FFA: | 1m | Canberra | ||
V0 | ★ #62
Another slab problem. Using the crack makes it VBeginner. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0 | #31
There are several variations along that side of the boulder, all around V0. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V4 | ★ Bring Bert Back
Straight up the front of the Icecream Boulder. Try not to rip off the crucial loose rubble on the right shoulder of the bottom block. FFA: B Bertson | 4m | Canberra | ||
V0 | ★ #14
Easiest one on the rock. Ladder-like. | 4m | Canberra | ||
V0 | ★ #63
Stay away from that crack! | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ #32
| 4m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ #19
Sit start. A large amount of rock has broken off on the left side. There is another large piece that is ready to go at any moment, but shouldn't affect the difficulty. Grade depends on whether you use the kneebar. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V7 | ★★ Fairly Standard Lowball
Sit start from low rail, climb up trending rightwards and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 27 Jun 2015 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0 | #11
Friction climb. Very slabby. | 2m | Canberra | ||

Slabbity slab slab. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V3 | #33
| 4m | Canberra | ||

Same sit start as Hades, then trend right to arete, heel hook up and edge your way onto positive holds around the blunt arete. Top out from there. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ #38A
Sit start, climb arete and top out. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ #13
Sit start up the arete. Burly. Round the corner of the boulder from #12. Top out directly from the undercut side - don't pull around onto the slab. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V1 | ★ #65
| 3m | Canberra | ||
V1 | #34
| 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ 23 arete
Sit-start up the arete using the protruding block. Moving around to the other side, there's a truly lovely one handed layback possible. Otherwise, there's face holds. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★★ Full Traverse
Start as for #41. Full traverse of boulder. | 10m | Canberra | ||
V2 | #21a
Sit start, at the end of the boulder sharing #21. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ #66
A quality climb slapping up the arete from a sitstart. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V8 | ★★ Cassius
Traverse either way - crux is middle section. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V0+ | Distillation
Opposite side of the boulder to 'Unnamed problem'. Sit start eliminate - do not go left, keep to the blunt arete. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V7 | ★ Up and Go
Sit start beneath vertical seam, climb seam and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 13 Jul 2015 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V0 | #24
Go from the bottom to the top. Layback, climb the face, do what you will really. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V4 | Chipped ★ #67 sit start
Completely chipped. Look for the chipped handholds. Photo is a bit misleading - it's about 60 degrees overhung and the first chipped handhold is a bit too low for most people! Starts on obvious chipped holds, then up using other chipped holds and the aretes. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V2 | #36
Fairly standard lowball. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ Purple patch
Thin crimpy and short direct line on face to right of the #6 large flake | 3m | Canberra | ||

Direct up the arete off the small flake. Balancy and thin with a deadpoint required. Mat and spotter mandatory if you like your back. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V8 | Chipped ★ Diesel Power
Sit start using left side pull and right chipped two finger pocket. Climb bulge and top out. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V2 | #37
Tricksome and fiddly. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V4 | ★ Furking Leer
A one-hand pull up at the start throwing to sidepulls and small incuts for the feet. Once you stand up over the bulge, everything is easy sailing. FA: Who knows, 2011 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V5 | ★ Sitmaster
Sit start from right side of roof, climb up and top out. FA: Bevan Ashby, 27 Jul 2015 | 2m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ #7
Variation of number 6. The arete is the definitive climb in the CCA guide. V7 for the arete, V2 to join up with no. 6. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ #69
In between the chipped climbs. Quite overhung climbing on sloped holds. Watch your back. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V3 | ★ Dynamic Lifter
FA: 2009 | Canberra | |||
V1 | Dishysoisse
Photo to be added sometime soon. Lowball to the extreme, but goes on slopers which makes it almost worthwhile. FA: David Nott, 2011 | 2m | Canberra | ||
V2 | #55
Sit start beneath right arete, climb up and top out. | 3m | Canberra | ||
V7 | ★ #8
Straight up using the poor feet and the incut at chest height, incut higher up and the bulge. A few ways to do it but they're all mean. | 5m | Canberra | ||
V8 | Chipped ★★ Zeus
Probably the best face climb on the Ridge. Powerful and delicate, requiring great body tension and with a demanding topout. Set: Justin Ryan, 2008 | 3m | Canberra | ||
V5 | ★ #38
Sit start. | 2m | Canberra | ||
V2 | ★ Right of #64
A face climb, slapping the arete on the right. Techy. | 4m | Canberra |
