Mt Coree area Hollywood | |||||
28 | ★★ Revenge Of The Sit
A bit of a unique boulder-route hybrid that makes for a great endurance route at a usually short and burly crag. Start on the good holds at the base of 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' and traverse the sloper rail rightwards, at the good holds at the start of 'Right Here Right Now' you do a hard sequence to drop down and right a few moves to then come back up into the start of '200 Motels' and the other routes that start here. Continue up 'Return Of The Real' all the way to its anchors. The best way to do this is to start tied in and ready to lead and have your belayer walk the rope along with you until you clip the first bolt and then climb on as usual. A single crash mat protecting the crux of the boulder is sufficient to make this boulder-route safe and enjoyable. It's different, it's neither a route nor a boulder, but it IS really fun climbing - have a go! The traverse on its own finishing at the jugs at the first bolt is around V7. Starting at the jugs halfway through the traverse is about V6 and finishing up 'Return Of The Real' from here is about 27. A much harder version finishing up '200 Motels' would add 1 or 2 grades to that route. FA: Duncan Brown, 7 Feb 2021 | 30m, 7 | |||

Canberra Murrumbidgee River Red Rocks | |||||
28 | ★★ Monkeys In Quarantine
Another mega long pumper route, rare for Canberra. Climb as for The Quarantine Zone but continue a little further right and finish up the much harder upper section of Dial M For Monkey. Both the lower and upper sections are a bit morpho and shorter folk will find them much harder, so just take the grade that fits your experience. A bunch of really long alpine draws all the way up Heaven Sent Honey make the rope drag on the finish headwall nearly non existent. Really enjoyable endurance climbing and well worth the effort for anyone seeking a harder endurance route near town. FA: Duncan Brown, 28 Mar 2020 | 37m, 18 | |||
28 | ★★ Cheer For The Monkey
The longest and hardest of the link ups. Climb 'Cheerleader' to it's last bolt before the anchor it shares with 'Heaven Sent Honey', climb right past 2 bolts, cross 'Beautiful And Bald Like Barten' and climb the entire upper half of 'Dial M For Monkey' to its anchors. Long, sustained, fun, pumpy and worth the effort to make it work. FA: Duncan Brown, 18 May 2020 | 45m, 22 | |||
28 | ★★ La Corona
All killer, no filler. Just like the similarly named virus this route is tricky to figure out, but worth putting in the effort to solve. Bouldery, beta intensive, power endurance climbing that doesn't relent for what seems like miles leads you to a show stopper boulder up the arête to the anchors. Bolted by Chris Warner in 1998. Anchors replaced and several bolts moved to better positions by Duncan Brown. * Difficulty is a bit height dependent and anyone with a short arm span will find several sections quite hard. There is also the opportunity to step left into 'Wide World Of Sports' between the 4th and 5th bolts to take a rest. If you are quite short, or deliberately go more direct and avoid stepping left you can probably take an extra grade. FFA: Duncan Brown, 2 May 2020 | 18m, 9 | |||

Mt Coree area Hollywood | |||||
27 | ★★ Spelunkin' Duncan And The Exploding Pretzel Of Doom
Another fun boulder-route hybrid. Underneath and to the left of 'Bombs Away Pretzel Boy' is an obvious low jug rail, a metre or so left of this is a big two-handed flat hold and there's not really anything further left. Sit start boulder on this flat hold with your feet on the jug rail, climb feet first into the jugs and do some fun crimpy steep moves from the jug rail up into the start holds of 'Bombs Away Pretzel Boy' and then finish up this route without escaping too far right into the ledges where you can rest, just power straight up past the bolts and to the chains above as per 'Bombs Away Pretzel Boy'. The boulder on its own finishing on the ledges out to the right is perhaps V6 and very fun and worthwhile on its own despite being a bit lowball at the start. Linking into the route above makes the crux of that route feel substantially harder and a great power endurance route overall. Start tied into a rope with the first draw clipped and one pad under the crux of the boulder and it is a nice and safe little route. Enjoy! FA: Duncan Brown, 20 Jun 2021 | 10m, 4 | |||

Canberra Murrumbidgee River Red Rocks | |||||
27 | ★★ The Quarantine Zone
A long, pumpy link up that climbs extremely well and provides a length of endurance sport climbing rare around here. Use a bunch of long slings to reduce rope drag. Climb Heaven Sent Honey to its last bolt and then traverse right via two new bolts to join Beautiful And Bald Like Barten and finish up to this route's anchors. Grade will depend on your size as Heaven Sent Honey is morpho / height dependent in the middle. Take whatever grade feels appropriate for you. FA: Duncan Brown, 12 Mar 2020 | 37m, 17 | |||
27 | ★ Cheer For The Beautiful
Another fun, long link up for those that love pumpy routes that feel more like a journey than a boulder. Start up 'Cheerleader' and at the last bolt before the anchor (the anchor of 'Heaven Sent Honey') head right past 2 bolts to join 'Beautiful and Bald Like Barten' and finish up this to the top. A little creativity and some long slings on the first 10 metres can prevent rope drag from becoming an issue on this at the end of the route. FA: Duncan Brown, 10 May 2020 | 42m, 22 | |||
