A few good moves down low deteriorate to the usual dirt and choss. Up the groove right of Sewer Side past 3 bolts (crux at second) then up (wires and friends) and left to join Sewer Side at the top.

Easily up trending right starting from the 3rd (right) belay bolt.

The 3rd bolt is an easy reach up from the cave.

Crank through the roof, staying as far right as you dare, then up the headwall (move right then heel hook left) to the middle DBB.

Named for a wonderful smell that was blowing in from the sewage plant when I finally freed the headwall (solo).

Up easily to start & slightly left. Find a right hand crimpy side pull on the otherwise blank face to make the ledge. Up from there through the rooflet then some awkward moves to the chains.

A great link up following the 3 bolts of Skid Marks, delicately right to 3rd bolt of Uber Skid, more delicately right (find the side pull) to the 3rd bolt of Long Drop, then up to Long Drop anchors

Start at left side of ledge for a direct start to Skid Marks. Up the right side of the arete moving left to meet 2nd bolt of Skid Marks.

A direct line from the start of Super Skid using the face and flake, topping out at the ledge to the left of Long Drop. After the difficult crossover at bolt 1 position your feet for a good hold in the higher horizontal crack below bolt 2. Left crack & right pocket to layback until you're high enough to get good right holds on the flake. Clip bolt 3 & continue up the flake, using the big pocket at the top to move left to DBB or heelhook to ledge.

The only decent boulder in the area, located 20 meters to the right of the main crag. Start left on the face then straight up the middle.

Up past the large flake and mantle out on top. A few variants, all roughly V1.

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

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

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

Lovely compression climb just left of #17.

Around the corner from #22. Tricky start.

Climb or dyno, either works.

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.

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

On the wall facing up the hill.

A stretchy climb - crux is the start.

Photo to be added sometime soon. Lowball to the extreme, but goes on slopers which makes it almost worthwhile.

Sit or stand makes little difference. Directly up goes at a harder grade with some compression moves. Topout is BLANK - be careful.

Boulder right near number 41/42, under the shade of the tree. Straight up the arete from a sit-start.

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.

Layback problem. Bit scary up top.

Slabby and balancy.

Sit start to #63. Starts with left hand on arete and right hand on obvious side-pull.

Start with both hands on crimp rail on left-hand side of face to the left of #73, heel around left, move left to pinch on arete and to jug then top.

Undercling on smears and up. Left hand closer to V1, right hand more like V2.

On boulder down hill from main group towards Pony boulders. Avoid obvious loose block. Route on short overhung face of LHS facing fire trail.

On boulder down hill from main group towards Pony boulders. Avoid obvious loose block. Route just right of Here's Lucy on back of boulder.

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.

Sit start then climb up and top out.

Stand start then climb up and top out.

Route is one metre right of Morning Guy. Sit start then climb up and top out.

Stand start then climb up and top out.

Sit start then climb up and top out.

Sit start then climb up and top out.

Sit start then climb up and top out.

Sit start from base of arete then climb up and top out.

Stand start from base of crack then climb up and top out.

Thin crack just left of the large dark overhang near the waters edge, ~3 m left of Romance in Cow Paddocks.

Climb up to the niche beneath the overhang, then left and up.

A substantial rockfall in 2017 removed most of the original first half of this climb. The route is still climbable although may have some loose rock and dirt for a while.

Start on the undercut wall behind the tree. Up the wall (leave the poor tree alone) to a ledge. Up the groove, then left onto the arete and up. A good finish on big buckets.

A body length of good moves. Climb up to the ledge, then up the right wall of the chimney to another ledge then finish up to the right.

Start at the left end of the main wall beneath the lookout, a couple of meters right of the corner. Head up and left on the ramp, pulling through onto the wall above past an old piton, and up through the flared hand crack. Above here it trends up and right to the bolted anchor shared with Standing Room Only.

Caution:

The hold on the top headwall is moving a little, and is fairly large. It will likely fail at some point soon.

Start is marked with a white "CC" beneath the blunt arete to the left of the large overhang. Move from out under the starting rooflet then continue up the arete with some tricky moves to get onto the face above.

The corner crack running up the left side of the the large overhang, approximately 1 meter right of Closed Circuit and using a few holds on the arete.

Climb the arete beneath the central crack in the large overhang, 3 meters right of Charlotte Sometimes. Traverse left beneath the roof and finish up Charlotte Sometimes.

A boulder problem consisting of a short rising traverse leftwards to the overhang.

Stand start and up the slab.

Stand start and up over the block.

Originally graded 14, this is the third route from the left. Trends left after the first few metres, then straight up to a lower off.

There is an optional left hand variant start at a few grades stouter

Tricky sections of climbing separated by easy climbing. Starts at the vague left facing arete. Be careful of tumbling blocks off this climb.

Boulder to the ledge, then up the steep wall. Squirm into a short corner, mantle the ledge then step right and join the end of Bosch Imperialist up to the lower-off.

Start off the boulder and 'slide' up the smooth grey wall to the ledge. Up the funky corner and steep wall to a good stance, then mantle leftwards onto ledge. Keep stemming upwards then grunt and yet another mantle onto the top ledge. Finish at lower off.

Climb Willie the Pooh, heading right before the chains. Hard through the overlap and of reasonable length.

Start on the right set of top rope anchors. Start on the right arete, veer left to the side pull and follow the rightwards leaning line to the top.

Start on the right hand side of the boulder using the obvious ledge about half way up to pull on. Using only feet on the actual boulder head straight up. Add a heel hook with the left to make the top out harder. Grade may not be accurate.

Start in the middle of the boulder on the sloper at the top, just above the small overhang) and head straight up. There are not many feet on the way up so be careful topping out. Using the big, step like footer on the right is cheating!

Stand start with your left hand low on a hold almost on the ground and the right up on the sloper. Use the obvious footter for the left foot and do whatever feels good for you right. This should pretty much put you at you fully spread arm span and squatting low (but not a sit start). Pull on and head up and to the right to top out. Smearing is helpful. The start is the hardest part so could be modified to be easier.

Not a bad book, not a good problem. Sit start between pet rock and wttm.

Same as for Eating Calluses but starting from jug.

Sit start at shelf on right end. Reach for diagonal rail, pull awkwardly onto shelf and top out.

The classic of the crag. At the right end of the quarry is a slab past 3 bolts to a dirt mantle

Sit start. Pull through the good face hold and you’re away.

Same face as Problem 0.3, small right hand finger pocket to start

Start slightly left of roof (opposite side of Problem 0.4), reach past roof to mantle finish

Eliminate - sit start as for problem 1, right hand to the sloper then use that hold to steady yourself for the throw to the top.

Sit start, sitting on detached rock. Start on good high jug and same finish as AM

Sit start on far left using orange part of rock as foot holds. Go diagonally to the right and up. The small rock under the good starting hold on far left is off for feet. Avoid standing on ledge.

Contrived eliminate - climb up the left arete without using the rest boulder. Tensiony and a bit crimpy.

Sit start on other side of arête. Match on obvious jug at head height. Traverse left around arête then move up to top out. Don't use ledges to mantle up on final moves and the left crack constrains the route.

Climb the boulder and mantle at the ledge. If you're feeling crazy like me, execute a scary heel hook out wide and blindly reach up for a semi-crimp, trust that it's bomber and use it to lever yourself up. Do not go around the right side; this problem is for checking your head.

Stand start. Up the right side of the boulder using the crimp then trending left to a rail and up.

As for 12, get set on your feet using the crimp then head left around the corner using the rail to steady yourself and up from there.

Sit start, up the guts, over the bulge, rounded top out.

Start as for 'Dont touch the jizz' right to the arrete then up and over the bulge to top out

Sit start under slabby portion, traverse right and come up corner of boulder.

Start one meter left of Abseil Corner. The thin crack with a bolt and 2 pegs

Start up the arete one meter right of Abseil Corner then move right into the corner on good holds. Up the corner

An excellent climb up the arete two meters right of Chocolate Slugs. A hard move past the bulge, then up on jugs

Start directly below the BS crack. Straight up the balancey arete to join BS.

The far slab wall approximately 70 metres long. Note this is not the wall made of plastic in the fenced area. A good way to waste 20 minutes.

Start the same as Rapid. Climb into the window, turn around, come out from inside and up the roof.

Bit of a contrived variant, this is essentially just a few different moves heading up the left side rather than straight up and paradoxically, if you're reasonably strong, probably the safer way to climb The Slab as there's some good oppositional holds.

Traverse the crag from left to right. Difficulty depends entirely on how far you go, and the height at which you climb.

Jam the corner to start then up.

Stand start up the wall/blunt arête directly behind Roof Raider, above the lumpy landing.

Stand start and up the short wall, round left from Scoopy Do.
