The awkward leaning corner crack immediately right of the tourist track. Finish up slabby arete. Walk off.

FA: John Finnigan & Lincoln Hall, 1982

Gibraltar Peak Summit Boulders
18 Midsummer Madness

Start on the southern side of the summit group of boulders at a left leaning fist crack. Up the flake and diagonal crack. Move left along the ledge and up the slab past a bolt to the summit. Down-climb and go to the pub. Take Camalot 2-4.

FA: The whole of Canberra, 1987

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

Sport 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

Sport 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

Trad 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

Trad 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

Gibraltar Peak Knife Edge Boulder
17 Holy Guacamole

FA: Tony Barten, Phil Georgeff, Anne Hastings & Caron Avis, 1987

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

Trad 20m
18 Un Autre Chemin

The chimney with the crack up the left wall just right of French Connection - FA was done solo

Trad 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

Sport 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

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

Sport 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

Sport 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

FA: Tony Barten (solo), 1987

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

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

17 Why Does It Always Rain On Me

FA: Damian Jovanovic & Oliver Story, 2014

Trad 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

Trad 15m
17 Billy Bonkers

The short, easy (relatively) off-width corner right of '72 Virgins'. Up corner, traverse right (#4 or #5 Camalot with long sling) into 'End of Innocence' and finish up this.
