Routes in The Gap for selected grade

Sit start on the jug. Up with a tricky transition over onto the slab.

Sit start with jugs. Up the easy face

Start in the back of the mini-roof with the crack. Up following the crack.

Stand start with very high holds on the face and poor feet. Up to the big jug flake and up.

Sit start with the flake and smeary feet. Tricky first move and finish straight up.

Start on the left and traverse the flake right then straight up.

Sit start. Up the obvious crack on the wall left of the swiss bloc. Nice way to warm up before hitting the classics!

Stand start on obvious flake and up the slab

S-shaped flake on short overhanging wall on large boulder in center of Whalestooth area. Access via Natural bridge and Orca sectors. Climb starts virtually at sea level however is protected from waves by Mousetrap boulder. Still, only climb on very low seas. Always be aware of King waves.

Diagonal corner crack on boulder that protrudes out from the ocean. Getting off the boulder is not easy and is part of the climb. Only climb on very calm days and always be aware of King waves.

Start one meter right of 'Orca'. Up crack to small no-hand-rest at the arrowhead ('fin'). Traverse left (crux) to shallow corner crack and climb out as for Orca. Note: There are two variations as to how crux can be climbed - a low traverse (as in FA) and a high traverse. Both options are of similar difficulty.

Same start as 'One Step Beyond' but at half way mark continue straight using a series of flakes on left side of arete.

Start at the arete on the right of the wall (as for Ivory Tower). Follow flakes up and left to eedge, then layback the obvious flake/ crack to top (crux). (Note: fixed rope was used as protection of crux on first ascent).

Start to the right of 'Freedom' on same ledge. Up gully for 3m then traverse right through slightly overhanging wall and into a hanging corner (crux). Up easier territory for 10m utilising several horizontal breaks. At last break traverse left back into the gully. Climb ends on massive chockstone. Varied climbing in awesome location! (Note: Climb is often wet due to run-off from gully and sea spray).

Sit start.

Sit start with right hand pinch. Tricky to pull on then up with good holds

Sit start. Follow the flake up.

Finger crack on the right of the back wall.

Up the wall right of the block in the corner. Avoid the block

Base is almost always wet with a pool of water!

Start at big flake left of 'Man the Guns' and traverse left without using the top edge of the wall. Crux is an interesting underarm crossover move that ends at the eye of the sunfish.

Sit start far right, traverse left to top out on the arete. Direct (starting on the flake and up the arete) = V1

Sit start with flake. Tricky to establish, then straight up.

Sit start on the triangular feature with smears. Up the left arete.

Sit start on the far left. Up the face. Thin.

Stand start. Up the triangular face avoiding the left boulder.

Sit start. Traverse the rising crack rightwards to finish up easy jugs on the right.

Also a sit that can be added into 'Fancy Free' if you like..

Stand start and head up and left through the edges.

Sit start.

Sit start. Shoulder your way up. This one is right in the king wave zone so low tide and swell is the way to go. Watch those pads!

the crimp broke

Sitstart with slopers. Big move left and up on jugs

Sit start with the break. Up to the obvious flake into an easy top.

The corner 3m left of “Sonata” then up the offwidth crack with the chockstone at the top.

Lay-back up on a couple of flakes, than a high step and a very balancy and stretchy move to good jug. Thin pro - with the crux above the second piece (small rock).

Sit start squeezing the arete and slap up to slopers. Surprisingly fun!
