Another one a couple of metres right. Straight-forward climbing until the wall steepens, with a slopey top out requiring a move to the right. Four bolts and shares a double chain anchor with the next climb. .

Two metres right is a line of six bolts (top one hidden) up a straightforward wall to a small roof and into a groove. Excellent climbing - easy to the fourth bolt, then technical moves to the top. Abseil anchors slightly rightwards.

Staunch pulling over the roof and up the arête at the left end of The Alcove. Head left for a start, then clip the first bolt and move right to the arête and up. Climb the easy face to a steepening exit beside the bush, with surprisingly tricky moves on the slopers to top out. Five bolts and anchor rings.

Hard pulling to get through the roof, joining Endless Summer after the third bolt.

Climb the right-leaning weakness past two bolts to the last bolt of the Nor West Arch traverse. Pull past it on the right to gain a rest in the crack above, which takes larger wires. Then move to the left crack and climb to the top of the pillar, with good cams. Steep climbing on good holds to finish, and move left to the anchors. Better than the name suggests. Double ring anchor.

Very steep route following a groove and crack line rightward, on the right side of the cave. Technically easy but you need a certain amount of strength. Three bolts and anchor bolts.

Same start as 10mm FMJ but continue straight up the wall.

Starts from big sloping holds to a small pillar, finishing in the scoop. Finish straight up for a slightly harder variant.

Destroyed during the earthquakes.

Start immediately to the right of the earthquake scar. A technical face leads to steeper terrain higher up.

The top of this climb extensively damaged during the earthquakes. It is possible to climb to the fifth/ sixth bolt then run it out across death choss blocks to the anchor of ‘ The Subterraneans’ but not this is not advisable.

Line of bolts leading up and left from the DBB on the party ledge. Goes around the arête to the slabs and then finishes at DBB at the top of Birth Canal. Can be climbed more directly and a little harder using some trad straight up the crack and then rejoining the route. Great exposure if you climb the arête to the top after the crack.

Starts at DBB on Half Height Ledge on the right side of The Keep. Climb slab up to the left of the roof and then traverse right back above the roof passing 3 bolts until you reach the farthest right line of bolts. Climb up clipping 3 more bolts and then wires or cams to top out at DBB on a ledge.

The climb has sustained earthquake damage at the top.

Optional nut placement before 1st bolt. Otherwise, strenuous and technical climbing to second bolt where it eases off.

Left of Nocuous, up the overhanging brown wall.

Avoid using the crack and climb the face directly past the bolts to the juggy finish.

Nice face climbing on small holds.

Corner left of overlap. Finish directly up over steep ground on good holds or you can move right and finish as for 'Passage To India'(as done originally)

Start on pointy block and do hard moves through corner to easier climbing up arete.

Short steep jug hauling at the far left of the Surgical Strike Wall. Basically a highball boulder problem.

Damaged during the earthquakes.
