A small collection of trad, sport and boulder lines, with one mega classic finger crack

Home of the Sundance Crack, which is perhaps the only reason to visit the area, there are a few bolted slab routes and some awesome, and not so awesome cracks.

The face left of 'Corner Shop' has a line of carrot bolts, up the slab to the ledge, then up the rounded arete.

Can't find a record of name or grade in Perth area guidebooks or CAWA forums.

These areas are located in the Avon Valley National Park, so a fee is payable on entry (currently $15 per vehicle). Bring cash

Find the side pull and crank! Take medium cams to build belay at top.

Came to Avon for adventure? Forget Sundance, get a group of friends, take the harnesses off and head up for a team ascent of this instead. From the start of 'Fresh Meat', head into the small cave and into a chimney adventure inside the crag. Squeeze your way up between the boulders, doing your best not to get stuck (best not stop for donuts on the drive up) and exit at the very top of the cliff. You wont regret it!

A classic Peth jamming crack. A tough start leads to pleasant jamming. Take small to medium cams and nuts.

Mostly the area is known for being the home of the Sundance Crack, one of the best moderate finger cracks around! However there more than a few good boulders scattered through the surrounding hill side.

Sit start on an obvious low side pull edge, climb up through a cool undercling crux and top out straight up. https://vimeo.com/107269269

Stand start matched on a crispy side pull, make a deadpoint to a small crimp and top out straight up.

Stand start on opposing edges, make a hard left hand move and climb up to glory on some cool holds.

Start as for Superb and climb right, staying low, through Haulin', up the ramp feature to top out on Full Strainage.

Sit start under the boulder, both hands in the undercling crack and a filthy heel out left. Climb up the side of the boulder, don't top out too early!

Sit start under the boulder, both hands in the undercling crack and a filthy heel out left. Climb up the underside of the boulder then staying low, climb to the tip of the boulder. Potential for a low start deep under the boulder, grooming required.

Sit start with left hand on a side pull and right hand in crack, climb the dihedral then out over the bulge to a high top out. Best line here.

Start as per 'Fricticious' but continue rightwards in compression to topout instead of transitioning to the scoop.

Sit start as for fricticious, climb left straight away and mantle by the tree. Easy as.

Sit start on the arete, climb up the arete and top out left early.

Sit start as for Jordy's Arete, climb up and right to a high top out.

Sit start and follow the dual arete feature. Lose points for exiting onto the slab.

Sit start for this low ball choss.

Sit start in the dirt with opposing side pulls. Climb up and out the little cave.

Crouch start on the flat ledge feature, traverse left and exit early with a cool leap - slightly contrived if you traverse too far right you exit Big Ted.

Crouch start on the flat ledge feature, traverse left, all the way left.

Crouch start on the flat ledge feature, climb straight up.

Nice big boulder. Big !

The obviously teetering corner. Take care, but it’s not too bad and I think all the teeters are too big to fall and seem mostly stale. Climbed by the Walyunga Druids of old. Up the teetering blocks on whichever side takes your fancy. Yes they wobble, it’s not the gum leaves you are smoking. Balance on the top and clip the historic relic. Stroke that beard and mantle the crux and belay from the assorted iron work on top or down solo under the moonlight, in the nude obviously.

Heading clockwise around the main boulder from Jenga crack Hard project 25, 10m Please stay off

Please stay off Classy. Bolted at the close of the day and waiting a return by us to lead.

Rounded pleasant arete. Best done in mountain boots with a big pack of gumnuts.

No carrots here. Layback then easy slabbing.

Boulder start then up the slab, easing as you will.

Just right of PBP and almost as good. Grade 23 when the Cockatoos are bombing you with honkey nuts.

The line of the crag. Fine steep face and slab climbing on great rock with Druid OH&S approved bolts. Delicate little moves and delicate little holds. Nice.

Easy access, great views of the valley and well featured golden granite. Magic

Boulders on the left side of the gully with some interesting blocky features.

Nice warm up climb

Face to the right of the warm up arete. Sit start and up using crimps. Escaping left early at the end will bring dishonor to your family. Variant going direct from the start holds up to the shelf and then up is V4.

Contrived. Follow the edge avoiding using the golden face.

Sit start project on the Tumblebum boulder.

Located within Walyunga National Park - please respect the wildlife and natural flora.

Crouch start to long stretch. Avoid scoop on right.

Sit start and up the feature to a desperate mantle. Left boulder is out, V1/2 with left boulder.

located to the left of tall arete. Start matched on thin ledge.

Highball. Stand start on the right on crack and escape around the arete. Originally V4 but a hold has since broken near the start.

Stand start at the scoop and up using the arete. Awesome feature.

has it been done? chalk on start holds and some chalk burn up high...

Up from The Question... looks doable

Start low on side pull with one hand can utilize palm down or one finger hold from behind. Technical moves, awesome climb

Line of boulders up and right from the corner crack, home to many highball projects yet to go and the rad blocky feature that is Bee Wasp

Also has a bunch of bolted and some trad routes on the higher faces

Originaly done as a V1 highball. It has also been done with ropes and settles out at a more reasonable and well protected grade 20.

Clean steep and classic crack climbing.

Grunty moves off the ground to escape gravity and the end will test your wide crack finesse.

Rather exciting without a rope.

Sit start with low left hand guppy and right handjam. Rad problem up atypically blocky granite. Scary due to landing.

Climbs crack and blocks right of Bee Wasp, amble up the blocks toward the top. You went the right way if you maximised the vertical meters of all possible lines.

three bolts on the face right of Bee Wasp

Must have been climbed ? About grade 24 if done direct. Easier if you wimp out sideways.

Chimney behind the block left of route 4. A brave solo by a man hardened by domestic duties

Impressive steep slab face thing. We were soooo close but no FA yet due to crumbling holds. You are welcome to try. Starts the same as Dumb Idea on you as far as i can remember. Easier if you hold your breath and have the fingers and poise of a praying mantis.

The right trending curving flake detached thing. A classic and a boulder solo FA at ~ V3 by Mitch Woodward.

Exciting climbing, heel hooking rightward past bolts to a standup slab crux. Fun times indeed. Just like indoor climbing. Only not.

Mitch kindly agreed the line could be bolted.

Slab and faint crack.

Stepped crack up blocks. Better than it looks. Belayer draws the short straw and should be mindfull what they stand on.

Face climb (leftish) past 2 bolts to 2BB. Pleasant. Enjoy the train honking.

Shares start with prior route (Avonentuly). Needs medium wires/cams. Pleasant once more. Over too soon

Start inside the cleft under the corner. jam and stem your way up the wide corner. Fun.

North side of last boulder/buttress. Starts just right of Antimatter Possum, Climb up left arete past bolts. Tricky stepup which could ruin your day if you don't get it first go.

On the furthest small buttress on the right of the crag. climbs right arete past bolts. Sequency. You know you are on a Perth boulder when climbing this

Well featured boulders with some good warm ups and highballs.

Up the bulges

Sit start on the bulge and up the arete to the horizontal break. Escape right to top out as with #3. Direct is still a project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNgo_J81jU&feature=youtu.be

Stand start on crimps up up the clean face. Awesome feature. Highball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNgo_J81jU&feature=youtu.be

Up the obvious crack. Classic.

Up the face, awkward moves to start.

Up the arete. Grade unknown

Sit start on good sidepull and up. Tricky feet.

The arete? Grade unknown

The right arete

Highball

Face of pillar start low. Fall area not so good

Start on low crimps straight up no dabs on blocks behind.
