Routen in The Restaurant Crags

Steep start to a great face/corner. Stiff take-off.

Steep powerful arete just right of 'The Gallery'.

Classic at its grade. A vertical wall facing north.

Climb the thin crack about 30m left of 'World's Apart' and around the corner. Climb up to a tree and into a chimney.

The route to the left of the dead tree.

This climb used to start up a tree which has fallen away. The start is probably considerably trickier now and may need a bolt or two.

Solid at the grade! Starts just right of a very steep smooth wall next to tree roots. The huge break up the wall is a few metres to the right.

Clip 'Blockbuster' first bolt, then continue straight up as 'Blockbuster' trends slightly right. Low in the grade.

Starts just right of 'Eraserhead'. Can have lot of wasps nests!

Just to the right of the chimney-with-teeth. Airy at the top.

Climbs a small arete to a roof 5m up. Then take the left break up to anchors. One of best routes in Boven.

Start up the 1st 4 bolts of 'Jambo', then somewhat right to chains. Don't relax too much on the headwall…

Direct start past a bolt to lunge for the branch.

Climb the tree roots 7m right of 'Jambo', walk left along the limb, then up the wall to chains. Great climbing - after the tree.

An excellent line, so much fun.

A classic finger crack, in the middle of the Restaurant crag. Retrobolted by Lobster himself. One of the first routes here.

Climbs the "hidden" line just right of WORLDS APART

About 8m right of the 'World's Apart' finger crack. Keep to the left through the tree to reach good climbing up the crack and face above.

Climb up 7 bolts on a line just left of 'Bonar' and step left to 'Gretchen Goes to Nebraska' stance. The next 4 routes can be done from this large ledge.

3m right of 'Looking For The Lobster', starting on the lower 'Gretchen Goes to Nebraska' ledge. Can be climbed from the bottom, go right around the tree.

Climbs the shallow corner to the left of 'Gretchen Goes to Nebraska'.

From the belay bolts on the large ledge, climb the face route left of the obvious corner.

Bolted jam crack just right of 'Gretchen Goes to Nebraska' , on the same ledge. Great climb to practice trad leading.

Up the ACCESS ROUTE TO 'Gretchen Goes to Nebraska' ET AL; at the top of the dihedral, climb the left hand crack on the face. Gary Lotter's 'In Through the Out Door' probably goes out onto the arete now occupied by 'Bonar'.

Climbs the line 7m right of 'Gretchen Goes to Nebraska', on the face left of the arete. Dicey gear, mostly small wires.

Fine moves up the steep left arête on positive holds. Long and pumpy.

A hardish move through the groove near the ground.

Starts as for 'Red Herring', then goes left after the first bolt. Somewhat contrived finishing crux.

Fine climb up the middle of the face.

Starts a few meters right of 'Red Herring', up the right side of the face. Recently re-bolted by Darryl

A hallowed classic. Starts up a small corner on the left of the buttress after a short scramble from the base. Can skip some of the bolts, especially at the start to reduce drag.

WOW! A graceful sweep of technicality, possibly best 27 in Boven. Up the centre of the buttress starting from the base. Some extra bolts made it less sporty some years back.

Starts from a stance 8 meters up. Rap down to the first bolt. One of the harder excruciatingly technical climbs around. Was opened at 29.

Starts from the top of a pillar around the corner from the main Buttress. This can be accessed either by rapping or scrambling up from the right.

2m right of 'Achtung Baby'.

About 8m right of the 'Zoo Station' Pillar. Approach from the right and scramble up to belay at the first bolt.

Belay at 'L'il Arete Number' first bolt. Climb the seam. Finish up right. Use 'L'il Arete Number' lower-offs.

8m right of 'First Dimension'. Short and bouldery, not a giveaway.

The leftmost route on the face near the corner. Reachy.

Starts up a diagonal seam from a ledge about 4m from the corner on the left of the face.

Step off the right edge of the ledge - climb the face to the top.

Start 2m right of the ledge.

Climb up as for 'To Gape Or Not to Be', then break up left past two bolts and a #3.5 friend placement.

Climb the seam on the right (wires), then up the wall above past two bolts.

Very thin moves up the blank slab 10m right of 'Grockel Mania'. Gets easier after a few moves.

Start below the triangular corner. Trend slightly left towards the top.

Starts right of a ledge that is 5m off the ground on the far left. This route goes up a dark blunt arete to chains. Don't be temted to tend left.

Just around the arête, up the undercut face. The name is scratched onto the rock.
