V1 | The Beaglenose
Straight up the pillar, on the opposite side to The Nose. Balancy start, and up straight over bulges using slopes and side pulls. | 3m | |||
V0 | ★ The Nose (#1)
Stand start and up. Step across to the top of the main block or bridge between the two blocks to descend. | 3m | |||
V2 | Gap (#2)
Stand start - up the face in the gap. | 3m | |||
V4 | ★★ Bei Zi (#3)
Stand start and up, immediately right of the blunt arete. | 4m | |||
V5 | ★★ The Tumbler
Stand start. Up crimps and vert features. | 4m | |||
V5 | ★★ Stein
Stand start up brown trousers, up a few moves then pull left onto the face and up on thin crimps. Please stay off for a couple of months; there is a family of Grey Strike Thrush (birds) nesting on the ground in the wide crack. Hopefully a feral cat or fox doesn't get them down there! | 5m | |||
V3 | ★★ Brown Trousers
Stand start from arete in corner then climb up and top out. Please stay off for a couple of months; there is a family of Grey Strike Thrush (birds) nesting on the ground in the wide crack. Hopefully a feral cat or fox doesn't get them down there! | 5m | |||
V5 | ★★★ Brown Trousers Arete

V6 | ★★ Funk Star
Stand start from face/arete right of corner then climb up and top out. Please stay off for a couple of months; there is a family of Grey Strike Thrush (birds) nesting on the ground in the wide crack. Hopefully a feral cat or fox doesn't get them down there! | 5m | |||
V8 | ★★★ Funk Star Deluxe
Stand start from face/arete right of corner. Done on face crimps. Or the Warner version of a classic arete dyno to flat jug. FA: Justin Ryan, 2002 | 5m | |||
V7 | Mug
Stand start and up. | 5m | |||
V5 | ★★ Hot Cocoa
Thin crimps up the highest line at the Tumblers. Stand start, and up slightly left. | 5m | |||
V6 | Rebirth of Cool
Stand start as for Hot Cocoa, then move right to finish. | 5m | |||
Frozen Metal Head (#11)
Not sure if re-climbed? | 5m | ||||
Thawed Metal Head (#12)
Stand start. Up and across to the rails above the steep face, and up to finish. A sit start at the undercut arête also looks possible, but harder. | 5m | ||||
V4 | ★★ Not Quite a Metal Head
Stand start and straight up, using the hanging flake feature. FA: Pete, 17 Jan 2016 | 4m | |||
V2 | ★★ Taza (#13)
Stand start and up slab. Thin start, then a diagonal line of good quartz edges. | 3m | |||
V2 | ★ The Silk Road
Traverse the back side of the Asia Block. Start up Taza, and traverse at mid height to join the top of Tip Toe Arete. FA: Pete, 2016 | 6m | |||
V2 | ★ Beker (#14)
Straight up the slab, starting directly below the small scoop feature. Thin hands to start. Finish between Taza and Beker RHV. | 3m | |||
V0 | ★ Beker RHV
Stand start at low blunt edge, then up slab tending slightly left, using the obvious scoop feature towards the top. Can sit start, at same grade. | 3m | |||
V0 | ★ Treeline
Straight up, in front of the tree between Beker RHV and Crystaline FA: Pete, 2016 | 3m | |||
V1 | ★ Crystaline
Up the face, in the alcove right of Beker. Some nice quartz edges. Sit or stand start (slightly to the right), at around same grade. FA: Pete, 2015 | 3m | |||
V0 | ★ Tip toe arete
Slabby arete immediately right of crystalline. Sit or stand start, at around same grade. FA: Pete, 2015 | 3m | |||
V0 | Practice Mantle
Sit start with a layback up the flake, continue up and across the arete to a mantle at the top | 4m | |||
V3 | ★★ Mantle
Stand start just around the arete from The Drop (i.e. round the back of the bloc), matched on the diagonal rail. Move up and left to the juggy scoop, then up. FA: Pete, 2017 | 3m | |||
V1 | The Drop
Stand start a couple of metres right of Chalice etc, right at the end of the wall before the ground steps down. Up the arete and scoop-ey wall. FA: Pete, 2017 | 3m | |||
V5 | ★ Ristretto
Sit start with slopers/crystals for left hand and a decent side pull for the right, then up to grab the good side pull higher on the right. Basically one hard move to start, then more easily up. FA: Pete, 2017 | 3m | |||
V3 | ★ #15
Sit start on good low holds, then head up and right to finish out on easier terrain. | 3m | |||
V5 | ★★ Chalice
Sit start (as for #15) and up, finishing via a good rail high on the left. Excellent gymnastic moves on decent holds down low to a technical finish. | 3m | |||
V8 | ★★ #15 LHV
Sit start as for Chalice, on the lowest holds, then top out to the left through a wafer-thin crimp. Matching on that (or using the other crimp for your left hand) and throwing to the rail is the crux. Possibly a minor variant of what was Pizza Knob (V4) which got damaged during the fires and is rated V8 in the new guide, but topping out on the same tiny holds. | 3m | |||
V8 | ★ Pizza Nob
Sit start and up with big moves on small crimps, with a tough topout. | 3m | |||
V4 | ★ Verre
| 3m | |||
V0 | ★ Pokal
One of the only warm ups at the slab area. Sit start and head up right on the ramp. | 3m | |||
V5 | ★★ Tonka Truck
Sit start, and top out on the right. FA: Chris Warner, 2002 | 3m | |||
V6 | ★★ Tonka Direct
Sit start, and straight over the nose of the block using crystals/small edges. FA: Pete, 28 Feb 2016 | 3m | |||
V6 | ★ Tonka Truck Left
Sit start and top out on the left. | 3m | |||

V1 | ★ Continental Plate
Sit start on the right side of the plate, and up. | 3m | |||
V3 | ★ Double dip
Up the double scooped wall, immediately left of Continental Plate. Sit start, using the left edge of the plate and then heading slightly left. | 3m | |||
VB | Uplift
Stand start and up, just right of the scoop. | 3m | |||
VB | The Slab
Up the slabby scoop. Downclimbing this and/or jumping onto a pad is possibly the easiest way off this boulder. | 3m | |||
V3 | ★★ The Phoenix
Stand start, with a good handhold on the left. Up the face past a good sidepull high on the right, then good edges on the high slab to finish. FA: Pete, 2016 | 4m | |||
Into the Fire
Stand start up the narrow undercut wall between The Phoenix and Tectonics, finishing directly up the slab. | |||||
V5 | ★★ Tectonics
Up the slab, on excellent compact rock. Thin step up to start, then good edges to the top. | 4m | |||
V2 | ★★ Continental Drift
Stand start at Rift Zone, and traverse straight across and then up, to finish at Tectonics. FA: Pete, 2016 | 4m | |||
★ Crystal Method
Not clear that a start still exists for this, as it appears in the topo? Would be pretty thin... (yep, thin but goes - but slab above is iffy) | 3m | ||||
V6 | ★★ Rift Zone
Undercut sit start to gain the good rails, then nice edging to the top. FA: Pete, 19 Mar 2016 | 4m | |||
V2 | ★★ Rift Zone stand start
Stand start, and straight up the flake features. A few different sequences are possible, all around the same grade and quality. | 3m | |||
V6 | ★★ Rift Zone LHV
Sit start as for Rift Zone. After the first moves to get set on the good horizontal rail, head diagonally left and up past two more good rails, then up to finish. FA: 2017 FA: Pete, 2017 | 4m | |||
V2 | Tom Cat
Visible on the boulder down the hill from Rift Zone. Sit start at the jug, then up the nice fin. FA: Pete, 2017 | 2m | |||
V2 | Croc
Sit start just right of the arête, then up. FA: Pete, 2017 | 2m | |||
#33 Carissian Landau
Missing a key hold after the fires - although might still be possible on smaller crimps? | 3m | ||||
V7 | ★★ White Man Can't Jump Variant
Stand start then climb up trending rightwards and top out (block on left is out). FA: 2002 | 5m | |||
V6 | ★★ White Man Can't Jump
Stand start then climb up and top out (block on left is out). FA: Bevan Ashby, 4 Feb 2017 | 4m | |||
V7 | ★★ #34 jump-mantle
Start from the bottom and jump to grab the lip, just like a basketballer going for a dunk. Then execute a techy mantle. Hope you've got spotters. As with any dyno, the grade will be very height dependent, particularly considering you're jumping from the ground without the help of any holds to lever against. | 6m | |||
V4 | #35 The Wood Cutters
| 3m | |||
V3 | #36 slopes traverse
This is a traverse over slopers waaay above the ground. You've been warned - bring pads and spotters! | 5m | |||

VB | ★ The Slippery Dip
Stand start. Into the scoop, then up the ramp. | 3m | |||
V0 | ★★ Roof Tiles / #43
Stand start, and up the slab. A good tall-ish easy line. All the key holds are clean, but will improve with some more brushing. | 4m | |||
#44
Steepish face, with a thin seam. | 3m | ||||
V2 | Decepticon
Tricky stand start up into scoop, then more easily to the top, staying right of the arete the whole way. | 3m | |||
V0 | Trackside
Up between the two gum trees. | 3m | |||
V2 | ★★ The Scoop
Straight up into the scoop. Also serves as a good descent from this boulder, jumping from the scoop onto a pad. | 3m | |||
V1 | Hiding in the Open
Up the thin face, immediately left of The Scoop, and right of the Crimp Ladder face. | 3m | |||
VB | ★ Crimp Ladder Right
Easily up the right side of the face, on good edges. | 3m | |||
VB | ★ Crimp Ladder Left
Easily up the left side of the face, on good edges. | 3m | |||
V0 | #48
Has been checked and confirmed post fires. Pretty wet gully though! Probably not a climb to pursue unless it's summer or hasn't been raining/misty for quite a while. | 3m | |||

V3 | #50 mantle
Every problem on this boulder looks to have been destroyed by the fires. What's more, it sits in a very wet gully, so expect any landing to be a slip-sliding bit of fun. | 3m | |||
V4 | #51 traverse

V1 | ★★ Warm Up
Like the name says...blunt arete opposite Bardak. Walk off the back after mantling. | 3m | |||
V0 | #54

V4 | ★★ Not Bardak
Sitstart matched on the undercling and head up and right. Stay out of the Bardak crack | 2m | |||
V4 | ★★ Bardak RHV
Start Bardak from the incut level with the undercling | 2m | |||
V6 | ★★ Bardak
Sit start and up through jugs. Moderately overhung, a hard move with poor feet will get you to the topout. Start on the lowest incut/undercling or you may sacrifice a grade. An easier variant can be done by heading up and right following the first move. | 3m | |||
V6 | ★ Fish Cream Left
Sit start. Up through now broken flakes using a two finger pocket to gain the break and some crimpy rails reminiscent of 'Vendetta'. From there you could either go direct or left along the rail for roughly the same grade. | 3m | |||
Fish Cream Right
Looks like it'll still go if you put the work in, up on thin crimps | 4m | ||||

Up the arete/spike. As easy or hard as you want to make it, really... | 3m | |||
V1 | #4

V8 | Chipped #5 Respect is buring
Up through burly underclings to long throw to a pocket, then thrash your way around trying to find some way to keep yourself connected to the rock. Hit the knife edge apex, then easily slab your way up to finish. The topo foreshortens the climb considerably - it's no lowball, particularly with the insecure thrutching you will have to enter into up top. | 4m | |||
V6 | Chipped #6
Up past a chipped hold onto a chipped scoop then throw a long way for a rail. Unusually for granite, it's reasonably overhung. Get feet set somehow and mantle. | 3m | |||
V1 | #7
Up the slab to the left of the actual (overhung) climb. V1? Unlikely. | 3m | |||
V4 | ★★ #8
Similar to the problem around the corner, this is a bit of a crack climb that peters out into slab. One chipped hold. | 5m | |||
V5 | ★ #9
Up the crack with a nastyish landing below onto a small boulder if you've not eaten your wheaties. Thins out as it ascends and becomes quite technical until you reach the rail for 'Public Enemy'. Harder/changed since the Canberra fires. | 5m |
