Start as for Track Crack, but after getting established on face, go straight up and mantle to top.

Start far last at bottom of crack, hand traverse all the way to the end of horizontal crack. Escapable towards the end. Must a have been climbed before, too obvious, right on the track not to have been. Will be a great highball boulder problem.

Climb the hanging arete on its left-hand side. Start independently right of WTWGW up the blunt front face of the arete. Crux is gaining the hanging arete from the left. Solo after top rope.

Crouch start low on the arete (don't stand on the adjacent boulder). Climb the arete on it's right-hand side to half-way. Then move left to jugs and climb up via tricky moves to a slabby finish.

Around the corner from HBA. Stand-start and climb the left-hand wall of the blank face via long reaches to a big potato hold. From here move up and left, swarming around the arete to finish. Solo after top rope.

Up the jugtastic features, the crux is the sit start

Up the great layback features then slightly left with a delicate spicy highball finish

Up layback feature then onto huge rail

Left side of wall, move right at top to shared anchors with 5sob

'Sloper Dan Low' eliminate. Climb 'Sloper Dan Low' up to the crimp before the top rail then go direct to the horn.

"THE LINE" at the Cave.

What may initially appear to be pretty straight forward soon becomes a realisation of clarity!

Climb Rodeo Clown into Major Lightweight.

Clip the first bolt of 'Bear Droppings' and instead of starting from the ledge, lower down and start on obvious pockets off the ground by the tree about 6 metres down and right. Adds a fun 12-ish move boulder directly in the the start crux of 'Bear Droppings', making this feel substantially harder. The original route is quite height dependent so this could be 24 if you are quite tall and 26 if you are quite short, either way it is a fun route and feels about the same difficulty as 'Bullens Route' for an average height person like me.

Sequencey, bouldery, and at times dynamic climbing on great rock. A perfect next step up after doing Bullen's Route. Slightly height dependent through the cruxes, so more like 27 for shorter climbers.

One of the more varied bits of climbing around. Start up "beat up and thrown out" then follow the steel out right, pumpy and powerful to the top

bring one plate for the glue in carrot or improvise

Sit Start w' hands on the pockets, pull up towards the finger pocket

Sit Start on the undercling, Pull up into the crimp and follow the fisure

THE CRAG CLASSIC, Stunning fist size crack coming from underneath the cave with amazing seams and slopers to top out on.

Amazing steep line following the crack where the roof of the cave joins the wall. Stickclip and Batman 4m to DUB anchor on ledge avoiding damaging vegetation. Climb steep corner on jugs and small crimps and follow crack under roof. Exit roof and follow easy crack for few meters. Downclimb and back clean, no anchors.

The rising slab with underclings

The thin and shallow crack a couple of metres to the right of muffy. -35.370133, 148.923828

Sit start on ledge then climb up and top out.

The corner crack - 3m right of Painting a dream

The short practice crack

Start with both hands on the undercling. Pull onto wall then throw for the lip.

The arete on the right hand side. Start with right hand on the side pull around the corner.

Start is found by walking 50 m past mosquito wall. Track heads away from apron and when it ascends back up to rock apron walk left up tongue of vegetation to gain rock.

Quite the adventure was had on the first ascent. Ground up on sight, with a 10 meter slide on the descent by Tony Barten which was fielded by Hamish Ousby who then joined in untill the slide was arrested. (Note, descent is slippery in the rain.)

1 80m. 4 runners

Startup slab towards bushes. Break out left to avoid the bushy gully. Up steepening slab. Boldly looking for runners, at about 30 meters a runner appears. Continue straight up on crossly flakes and nonexistent foot smears for a bit. When all looks, bad remember the rule, climbers do not cry. Continue towards vegetated ledge, moving left at last instance, crossing water polished holds to gain vegetated ledge. Runners are noticeably lacking. Belay on nonexistent gear above vegetation.

2 30m

Move belay up to next island of vegetation. Easy climbing, no runners, no bolts, no belay, no fun.

3 55m.

Up the water polished slab moving left to bottom of crack. Gently up start of crack passing block balancing in bush. Try not to let it drop on your belayer on the imaginary belay below. The crack offers up a good runner above the block just as the the rock gets friable. A few jams, some lay backing, some edging gets you well above your runner and into the crux. Remember the rule, climbers do not cry! Struggle up the off widthy, chimney, thrutchy crack thing, for a bit until a handy chock stone presents itself which you can sling. Unfortunately, the top of said chock stone is just sitting there waiting to be dropped on the belayer on the imaginary belay. Remember Climbers DON’T CRY. Once past this continue up to second tree where a bomb proof runner was excavated from the dirt filled crack. You will see why you do not belay at first tree.

4 45m.

Up crack on the left with a good runner. Think its over. Ha! Move up slabs till able to place a runner. Now continue up the slab. It gets a bit thin, friable and that runner you thought was so good before now gets hard to see as it fades into the distance. Remember that rule from the previous pitches? Continue onwards. Soon the angle eases, the holds get better the climb ends. The runners still do not appear. To get off walk bush bash up ridge above till tourist track is gained.

It is actually quite good.

Crouch start with left hand on horn and right in pocket, moving up and then traversing left to the slab and scuttle along for a no hands finish.

Sit start, left hand on good edge and right hand on crimp. Moving up under the horn. Then moving right of the horn to the top jug to finish.

Start with double undercling/kneebar low on the left of the boulder. Move up the crimps straight up to top out.

Avoid using the separate rock on the ground underneath the boulder being climbed after initial footer.

Around the corner from quit tennis approximately 10 metre from the corner of the cliff edge A good one for beginners Standing start using obvious jugs half way up to the crux from here traverse to the corner of the high boulder using undercling's and side pulls before using the corner to top out at 4m

Sit start outside the cave both hands on the left side pull then straight up through nice crimps

Start as for Red Vine, traverse right to the obvious weaknesses. Finish just right of the tree. Tree belay or gear on back wall.

Start up the very left of the undercut and then keep traversing right as low as possible whilst still finding gear (it's there). Then to the arete and up.

On the smooth blank face to left of main cliff. Slight right of center there is a thin weakness, follow this to the top. Fantastic climbing on great rock with a very technical crux.

Leftmost nice splitter crack on the crag with a large block blocking the top. Climb hand to fist crack and traverse right at the top to pass block.
