18 | ★★★ The Climb
One of the best climbs for its grade in Australia! Climb the center hand/off-width crack that divides The Old Man pillar. Take big cams for top section.(can be done without big cams there are horizontal cracks that take smaller gear but bigger cams might make finding placements easier) FA: M. Smith, R. McArthur, V. Keane & H. Wopereis, 1978 | 23m | West Cape Howe | ||

One of the best routes in WA for its grade. Pitch 1 (14) 42m: Bridge out right from edge of terrace into ramp/crack system. Climb blank wall to ledge and continue up to a sloping belay ledge. Pitch 2 (13) 23m: Continue up cracks and layback the left most crack to an off-width chimney that goes up to pinnacle belay (shared belay for Baylec Direct). Pitch 3 (15) 40m: Finish as Baylac Direct. FFA: R. Rathbone & P. Woods, 1978 | 110m, 3 | Albany | ||
18 | ★★★ Baylac Direct
Regarded as one of the best crack pitches in WA, good value at the grade. Pitch 1 (18) 33m: Up short crack to horizontal break. Enter finger crack and enjoy the climb to the belay ledge. Pitch 2 (16) 23m: Up short corner to easy ramp to block and belay on right below the summit dome. Pitch 3 (15) 40m: Committing slab climbing protected by small wires up to summit FFA: R. Skirrow & M. Smith, 1981 | 96m, 3 | Albany | ||
V2 | ★★★ King Canute
Sit start on crimps, then traverse right on underclings into the jugs on the right arete to top out as 'Fun' FA: Dave Mcnamara, 1998 | 3m | Albany | ||
20 | ★★★ Tombstone
Start from below Plumbline and travers left for 20 m and belay from below vertical crack. Second pitch is gold. Layback or fist jam your way up to nice hand jamming and finger locking. Belay from large ledge then go up chimney and keep going to top. First two pitches can be combined into one mega-pitch, but rope drag needs to be managed | 60m, 3 | West Cape Howe | ||
V6/7 | ★★★ Double Roof
Sit start low under the first roof in the obvious chossy break then up the double roof feature trending left to the top. Looks meh, climbs sick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKNnNzY3WJA FA: Andy Lampard | 3m | Albany | ||
V4 | ★★★ Spectator Sports
Sit start with high left hand on the arete and right hand pinch then slap your way up. Classic! https://youtu.be/z6O06yvfO5Y?t=11 FA: Andy Lampard | 2m | Albany | ||
18 | ★★★ Plumb Jamb
Follow left trending weaknesses ad cracks to obvious large horizontal crack and construct belay. Climb up vertical cracks to cave and skirt out rightwards. | 70m, 2 | West Cape Howe | ||
V6 | ★★★ Junior Compression Problem
Sit start under the obvious bulge and slap up to a tricky top. https://youtu.be/C9Rro0lZ8j4?si=ESwOiiBrYibT1Nuu FA: Andy Lampard | 3m | Albany |
