Routes in Booroomba Rocks for selected grade

A 'horrible subterranean grovel suitable only for troglodytes and masochists'. Scramble up the bed of the gully until confronted by a chimney.

1. 10m - Squirm up the chimney and over chockstones to a ledge (DBB).

2. 20m - Scramble up the gully until it again becomes a chimney. Ascend the chimney and belay in the "bowels of the earth" six metres back.

3. 20m - Move out left above the chockstones and scramble for 12 metres up the gully or ridge on the right. 3a. 15m - Variant finish. From "the bowels of the earth" chimney up and exit by a small hole in the roof.

This 'well known test piece' is about 15 metres down Cocker's Gully on the right hand side of a small buttress. Up the crack to a ledge then up the short wall.

Worth the walk if you're not too hung-over, with amazing scoopy rock on the latter pitches. Start as for 'Prohibition'.

1. 25m - Climb the left slanting crack and ramp as for 'Prohibition', but continue along the ramp until it levels off.

2. 30m - Up the amazing scoopy/blocky white slabby rock above to a ledge and abseil anchors (you can finish here - walk right).

3. 30m - Up the easy slab behind the belay.

The obvious crack eight metres left of 'Slim Fingers Crack'.
