Gibraltar Peak Egg Cave | |||||
17 | ★ Who's Better, Who's Best
Still OK post fire - some of the flakes have blown off making it more reachy and some that remain are very creaky. Rebolted 2006 (approx) FA: Craig Kentwell, Phil Georgeff & Anne Hastings, 1988 | 12m, 3 | |||
18 | ★★ Milwaukee Pig Iron
Start about 15m down and right from Easy Rider. The steep slab on flakes and sorry looking carrots. Finish up ER. The original route climbed well but has since exfoliated. Best to keep off. FA: George Rehn, 1988 | 10m, 3 | |||
Gibraltar Peak Southern Tablelands | |||||
17 | ★ Dear Prudence
Start below a slightly cleaner section of rock about four metres left of 'Hey Jude'. One hard move at the start: up the wall for a few metres, then diagonally left to a flake above 'The Groove'. Follow the cleaned patches to the top. FA: John Carlson & Matthew Larkin, 1982 | 25m | |||
18 | ★ Hey Jude
Start as for 'Tiptoe'. Up the easy corner, then up a steeper one to a ledge. Walk along this to the right and then up the slab as for 'Scarborough Fair'. FA: Peter Mills, Phil Cullen & John "Chaz" Wood, 1978 | 25m | |||
18 | ★★ Scarborough Fair
Highly recommended, the classic of the crag. Start 10 metres right and down from 'Hey Jude', at the obvious rightwards corner crack. Layback up the corner and either step left to avoid the roof (18) or grunt straight through (20). Follow the cracks to the ledge, then up the unprotected slab above to a double carrot bolt belay. FA: Damien Jones & "Chaz" unable to follow, 1978 | 35m | |||
Gibraltar Peak Knife Edge Boulder | |||||

Gibraltar Peak Frenchies | |||||
17 | ★★ Heckmondwike Twist
Finishing in the far left corner (looking out) of this area, where you pop out from under the huge balanced boulder, is this small gem of a climb, requiring jamming and some constricted slab moves. FA: John Finnigan & Peter Cocker, 1975 | 20m | |||
18 | ★★ Un Autre Chemin
The chimney with the crack up the left wall just right of French Connection - FA was done solo FA: Ryan Macpherson | 14m | |||
Gibraltar Peak Juveniles area | |||||
17 | Labor Pains
Start just right of a large tree about 10m right of the start of Juveniles. Climb the slab trending left. Continue up Juveniles P2 to the top of the Knife Edge Boulder, or trad belay as for Juveniles P1. The first bolt is quite high and there are suspect flakes down low. Entire route now hidden under fallen tree branches after the fires. FA: Mike Peck & Craig Kentwell, 1987 | 15m, 3 | |||
Gibraltar Peak No Glove | |||||
18 | ★★ No Glove No Love
Quality well protected slabbing. Traditionally the access to this climb was down the steep gulley past Juveniles and JAM. However it is easier to scramble up the back of the boulder past a bolt and rap in (DBB). This scramble starts just behind you as you look at the start of Juveniles. As you rap, tension left and clip into the left most line of 3 bolts. A 60m rope is preferable for this exercise. Best to belay off a sling or two at the start. The climb goes straight up past three bolts and then gradually drifts right. There is optional wires or micro cams near the start. FA: Gordon Poultney, Craig Kentwell & Adam Blizzard, 1987 | 25m, 3 | |||
18 | ★★ On the Beach Direct Start
Very run-out slabbing ... Should be at Booroomba. Rap in as for On the Beach (60m rope just reaches). Start underneath the blunt arete (about 6m down and right from OTB). Up the slab to join OTB at the second bolt. FA: Tony Barten (solo), 1987 | 30m, 1 | |||
18 | ★★ Forever Present
Start on top of the block between "When Only The Best Will Do" and "Blagdon". Straight up the slab and dyke past seven bolts to anchor. FA: Oliver Story & Daniel Gordon, 12 Apr 2015 | 30m, 7 | |||
18 | Echidna Buffet
An attempt to create more easy slabs turned into a misguided use of bolts and effort by people who should know better. Start down and right of 'Rite of Passage', as for 'No Easy Street'. Step onto the boulder and follow the easiest path up and left past bolts until you're on the horizontal weakness of 'Rite of Passage'. Traverse right to gain the crack. Follow the crack and dyke up and left, then easy slabbing to the top. FA: Oliver Story, Sarah Truscott & Damian Javanovic, 2015 | 35m | |||
Gibraltar Peak Marzipan | |||||
18 | Return of the Marzipan Kid
Start on a boulder 50 metres below 'My Generation'. Climb up the dirty crack and slab without using the dead tree. FA: Tony Barten (solo), 1987 | 15m | |||
Gibraltar Peak Ape Area | |||||
18 | Chicken Run
Inspected by abseil before the bolt plague, thus seldom if ever repeated. Start 20 metres around right from 'Ape'. Climb the left-hand, flake-formed crack to the top, then traverse right for 10 metres to the blunt nose of the arete. Continue up and right (crux) to a ledge. FA: John Finnigan & Will Steffen, 1982 | 35m | |||
Gibraltar Peak Safari Boulders | |||||
17 | Mario and the Blue Angels
This climb is right next to the Tidbinbilla walking track, about 20 metres uphill from the lookout platform. There's a bush growing out of the crack at two thirds height. Layback up the flake then follow the crack, which widens at the top (take a large cam). FA: Mike Peck & Craig Kentwell, 1987 | 15m | |||
17 | ★★ One for the Road
This is on the back side of the boulder beside the walking track, 150m downhill from the lookout and opposite the handrail(!?). Corner crack to crumbly jugs at bulge. FA: Geoff Gardiner & Geoff Fraser, 2014 | 8m | |||
17 | Faint Hearted
To the right of 'Low Hydrogen'. Climb the easy crack to the ledge, then up the thin crack to the top. FA: Anne Hastings & Phil Georgeff, 1987 | 14m | |||
18 | ★ Fish in a Barrel
Thin diagonal crack with narrow ramp using finger locks and lay-aways to ledge. Finish up weakness to triple bolt belay as for Faint Hearted or alternatively hand crack finish to Broken Window. Small cams helpful to protect crack to ledge. FA: D Anderson-Smith & D McGregor, 2014 | 13m | |||
17 | ★ Locomotion
The hand crack on an isolated boulder 20m right (looking uphill) of the previous climbs, with a 'knucklebuster' start. FA: Phil Georgeff & Caron Avis, 1987 | 8m | |||

18 | Night Fall
Starts on the large jammed boulders above the cave and ascends the slab and corner past two bolts - the first of which is quite high. A few nice balancy moves and it is all over. FA: Richard Watts (solo), 1983 | 8m, 2 | |||
18 | ★★ Postern
On a small group of boulders 30 metres east (towards Corin Road) from 'Sentry Duty'. Nice jamming up the right angled corner crack on the downhill side. Lower off. FA: Matt Madin & Richard Watts, 1981 | 10m | |||

17 | ★★ Why Does It Always Rain On Me
The short but interesting finger and hand crack on the left end of the main wall. FA: Damian Jovanovic & Oliver Story, 2014 | 8m | |||
18 | ★★ 72 Virgins
The good looking double crack/flake right of "why does it always rain on me". Unfortunately a large flake on the route is loose (all the large blocks on the ground were trundled by hand). Deemed "not worth dying for" by the discoverers, it received a first ascent by a team of keen young suicide bombers. Be careful with the last big flake in the upper crack until the Billy Billy OH&S dept. gets around to trundling it. FA: Ben Young & Chris Elliot, 19 Jul 2014 | 15m | |||

Billy Billy Sector of a Lonely Heart | |||||
