V3 #26

Sit start from the crimps low down to the incut then straight up.

Boulder 3m Canberra

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

Boulder Canberra
V3 #50

Vertical slab! Enough holds on top - just. If you're brave you'll mantel it.

Boulder 5m Canberra
V3 #65A

Sit start left side pull, climb face\arete and top out.

FA: Bevan Ashby, 14 May 2015

Boulder 4m Canberra

Sit start as for boulder #43, traverse out right, using anything reachable, topping out on the opposite side of the boulder.

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.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V2 Spagnum

sit start problem on thin crack on left near "cave" to mossy topout

Boulder 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.

Boulder 5m Canberra
V6 Ares

Sit start, climb vague corner and top out. Watch your back.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V5 Acid Reverse

Anticlockwise traverse of the acid boulder

Boulder Canberra
V1 #23

Climb or dyno, either works.

Boulder 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!

Boulder 3m Canberra
V3 #52

Another slab, one of the more highball problems on the ridge. Could stem it.

Boulder 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

Boulder 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

Boulder 5m Canberra
V0+ Right of #25 (Sit Start)

Technical and balancy sit start.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 6m Canberra
V1 #53

Layback problem. Bit scary up top.

Boulder 5m Canberra
V8 Chipped Frankenstein

Sit start jug right hand arete, traverse leftwards into Ares finishing up the latter.

V1 Arete left of #22 (Sit Start)

Around the corner from #22. Tricky start.

Boulder 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:

Boulder 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.

Boulder Canberra
V6 The Wolf

Sit start from low rail, climb up trending leftwards and top out.

FA: Bevan Ashby, 19 Jun 2015

Boulder 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

V1/2 The Dish (between #16 & #17)

Lovely compression climb just left of #17.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 2m Canberra
V0 #55

Slabby V0 climb.

Boulder 5m Canberra
V3 The Sheep

Sit start from low rail, climb straight up and top out.

FA: Bevan Ashby, 22 Jun 2015

FA: Psalms Chia, 3 Feb 2023

Boulder Canberra
V1 #12 (squat start)

For anyone feeling strong - needs a sit added. Round the corner from #13, the arete climb.

Boulder 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.

BoulderProject 3m Canberra
V2 #56

A nice climb with plenty of holds and a finish that really gets the blood pumping.

Boulder 5m Canberra

Boulder 3m Canberra
V0 Cream of Some Young Climb

Straight up just left of the crack. Standing start.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 5m Canberra
V1 #10

Forget looking for holds - trust the friction, Luke. Sit start.

Boulder 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

Boulder 4m Canberra
V3 #58
Boulder 4m Canberra
V1 #16

Left of the dish - difficult to place feet until you get to the bucket.

Boulder 4m Canberra
V0 Easy Leap

Dyno variant of Cream. Place feet, jump.

Boulder 4m Canberra
V3 #59
Boulder 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.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 2m Canberra

Boulder 4m Canberra
V1 Between #26 and #27

Sit start (?) between #26 and #27.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V2 #41 LH variant

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.

Boulder 4m Canberra
V0 #61

Balance problem, great training for slab climbs. Of course, friends don't let friends do slab.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V2 Left of #57

Straight up, match foot/hand in the midway crack while balancing. Don't go too far right.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V1 Direct between #61 and #62

Slabby and balancy.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V0- #30

A nice warm-up.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 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:

Boulder 1m Canberra
V0 #62

Another slab problem. Using the crack makes it VBeginner.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V0 #31

There are several variations along that side of the boulder, all around V0.

Boulder 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

Boulder 4m Canberra
V0 #14

Easiest one on the rock. Ladder-like.

Boulder 4m Canberra
V0 #63

Stay away from that crack!

Boulder 3m Canberra
V2 #32
Boulder 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.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V7 Fairly Standard Lowball

Sit start from low rail, climb up trending rightwards and top out.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V3 #38A

Sit start, climb arete and top out.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 2m Canberra
V1 #65
Boulder 3m Canberra
V1 #34
Boulder 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.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V3 Full Traverse

Start as for #41. Full traverse of boulder.

Boulder 10m Canberra
V2 #21a

Sit start, at the end of the boulder sharing #21.

Boulder 2m Canberra

A quality climb slapping up the arete from a sitstart.

Boulder 2m Canberra

Opposite side of the boulder to 'Unnamed problem'.

Sit start eliminate - do not go left, keep to the blunt arete.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V7 Up and Go

Sit start beneath vertical seam, climb seam and top out.

FA: Bevan Ashby, 13 Jul 2015

Boulder 3m Canberra
V0 #24

Go from the bottom to the top. Layback, climb the face, do what you will really.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 2m Canberra
V2 #36

Fairly standard lowball.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V2 Purple patch

Thin crimpy and short direct line on face to right of the #6 large flake

V5 One Fine Day

Sit start from lip of roof, climb up and top out.

FA: Bevan Ashby, 18 Jul 2015

Direct up the arete off the small flake. Balancy and thin with a deadpoint required. Mat and spotter mandatory if you like your back.

Boulder 2m Canberra
V8 Chipped Diesel Power

Sit start using left side pull and right chipped two finger pocket. Climb bulge and top out.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V2 #37

Tricksome and fiddly.

Boulder 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

Boulder 3m Canberra
V5 Sitmaster

Sit start from right side of roof, climb up and top out.

FA: Bevan Ashby, 27 Jul 2015

Boulder 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.

Boulder 5m Canberra
V2 #69

In between the chipped climbs. Quite overhung climbing on sloped holds. Watch your back.

Boulder 3m Canberra
V3 Dynamic Lifter

FA: 2009

Boulder 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

Boulder 2m Canberra
V2 #55

Sit start beneath right arete, climb up and top out.

Boulder 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.

Boulder 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

Boulder 3m Canberra
V5 #38

Sit start.

Boulder 2m Canberra
V2 Right of #64

A face climb, slapping the arete on the right. Techy.
