Routen in South Australia für ausgewählte Schwierigkeit

Follow the major corner all the way passing a large roof en route.

Two meters left of Tripple Hot and Skink. Overhung start, into line, veer right and up cracks and horisontals finish up blunt aret to rings.

Cool Moves and Position high on Checkers wall.

Originally done with a belay after only 10m, but is now usually done in two 30m pitches. The 1st belay (at 30m) is bolted. Above pitch 2 there are trees and cams to belay off, then walk 10m R on the ledge (best to stay on belay) to carefully access abseil chains (55m to the ground).

Fingery moves past a bolt then through roof at little corner.

Up the middle of the wall just R of CI past 3 horizontals.

Bolted route up the face right of Vortex. Shares the first couple of moves, bring a couple pieces of gear for the start and the top. Shares anchors with vortex

Obvious crack line just left of the corner. Finishes at the top of Flying Buttress, so you’ll then need to do the escape pitch.

1. pass the small overhang on its left side, and follow the flake, trending right to reach the crack and a belay before tackling the line.

2. up the crack through the small overhang.

A nice wall of solid grampians like rock. Start 15 m right of Ultion, up on a ledge just right of Cut Lunch. (the tree in the latter's description has since fallen over and died.) climb the groove as for Ciao Professore and step left onto the face and up right. Move back left to a small ledge at horizontal break. Up left side of face past a bolt, then back right to climb chimney/pillar

Spartacus pitch 1 - Tourmaline - Perhaps pitches 4 and 5.

Continuous fun climbing. The funky looking flake about 6 metres from left end of wall. 6 bolts to abseil chains.

Up the broken crackline 1m L of the chimney, passing R of a V-shaped roof, to finish on the face just R of the arête. Use the block on the R for a cam placement only, or ignore it completely and place an RP a little higher (Michael Hartman and Colin Reece may have climbed a route near here in 1997).

The arête with one brief detour onto the R face. Two small loose blocks at half height.

Takes the superb wall L of BM. Place nuts as side runners at 5m. Begin in a niche at ground level and head straight up to the crux. Finish in the crack.

The wall 2m L of Jupiter to a ledge at 4m. Ignore the (surprisingly tricky) steps on the L and continue up the crack. Small wires and cams.

An offwidth struggle 3m L of Artemis. Big cams, tubes to 15cm.

Begin 8m L of LO and 4m R of GCTMT. A bulgy start leads to a short R facing corner and a rest on a ledge.

Follow the obvious line 2/3 the way up before moving left around a mostly blank face before heading back right to the crack with the boulder in the top. (Conquering the face has the potential to be a great project!)

There is still good in him yet. Start in the obvious corner as per Learning to Fly, break left at the roof and traverse under the lovely jambs. Pull on to the wall above and savour the glorious face climbing with fantastic gear.

Right hand arete. Arrange 000 and 0.2 cams in slot on left and micro offset wires in horizontal on right arete, equalising both. spectacular and intricate moves to negotiate bulge them finish as per the sound on one cheek clapping.

Climb the corner and pass the fist block to gain the short second corner. Pass the roof on the right to gain the ledge and then climb the face on your left through the wide scoop.

Bouldering start to distinct corner with a loose-looking rock spike. Traverse up and left onto ledge with large block. Climb corner behind on wonderful holds to roof, traverse right onto ledge and up.

Up left trending cracks into corner at 6m with a spicy step across then corner/chimney and cracks in right face to top.

Up seam and corner to small roof, then up funky crack with some interesting moves. Up slab to hand crack/chimney, through to a cave and out through roof of cave. Good pro and good fun!

Vague line up vertical cracks and breaks 2-3m left of R arete. Less than desirable gear.

Arete right of E.L.S.A

Locate the furthest and last major face/wall along the Darkside. This is 'Dog Wall', with a large flake/crack system that forms the shape of a dog's head.

An adventurous jaunt along the 'mouth and nose' of the dog. Double ropes help. Start at the crack + flake system on the L end of the wall. Up this, mantle ledge, traverse R along ledge. Up crack corner, wildly traverse out L on good holds, up and mantle ledge to stand on top of the 'dogs nose'. Traverse R to the end of the ledge, up crack and jugs to top. Super fun!

60m R of Expired Macropod is a steep offwidth. 15m R again is a R-leaning thin crack with a bulge at 6m. Follow this to an easy scramble off.
