Nodes in Billywing Buttress

This crag has been closed by National Parks (February 2019). Please do not climb here until further notice.

Climb the centre of the wall. The fingery start eases to pleasant bucket hauling.

Start: Just inside the wider, central chasm is a steep wall on the left.

The crack in the nose right of "Honey Pot".

Another Buandik gem.

Start at the head of the next chasm.

Chimney up to gain elegant flake corner/crack. Descend via the exposed, juggy terrace to the west.

On the west end of the buttress is a scooped orange wall. Most of the climbs start from a terrace, accessed from the north-west toe just as you start to head downhill under the wall.

The crack above the start to the terrace access ramp.

Crack to bulge, move left, continue up to left end of upper terrace.

Start on the terrace, at left side of wall.

Intricate bridging in sustained diagonal corner to a steep exit.

Superb flake-line just right of "Cornered" (PR and FH) to ledge. Finish up overhanging corner.

Thin line past grass clumps and on to a stance. Left up ramp to pull on to a hanging slab. Step awkwardly right and up to top.

Start: Start at the thin line just right of the dished overhang.

Steep climbing on good holds. The obvious line a few metres right of Domino.

Surmount the pale block then move left up short corner and onto ramp. Finish as for Domino.

Start: Scramble up into the cave at base of bluff. Start from ramp at left end.

1. 20m (15) Climb the wall to gap at top left of cave. Pull on jugs to gain wall above. Continue to belay level with upper terrace.

2. 20m (-) Go up right and up the easy arete.

Start just right of Acting The Goat From the right end of the cave, climb straight up to a vee-notch.

South side of Billywing Buttress.

There is (or was?) a slender gum growing in front of the cliff. Climb the front of the obvious rib between two chasms.

As it was soloed potential protection is unknown.

Start at the left side of the slab, 5 metres right of the chasm.

Up, then right to some cracks then up.

The groove right of "Stout" then continue all the way.

Climb the greyish rib on the right side of the most compact slab area. Continue easily up cracks and jugs.

Walk up right (from the saddle) to the east end of the Billywing Buttress group. There is a gully with a compact orange wall on the left. The left wall of the gully has three lines. There is a chimney-gully halfway up the left gully wall; this is the descent route.

A tricky start at flake 3 metres left of first large diagonal in Green Gully to stance. Up flake to join diagonal. At 3/4 height an airy move gains the crack-line above.

Tricky start to the easiest of the three lines.

The third line up from the bottom.

Scramble up to the descent gully.

Excellent climbing up the nose at the gully intersection.

A bucket haul with a fun conclusion.

Climb the overhanging descent gully wall and traverse left at the obvious break. Finish as for Big Nose N Barge Arse Go Bouldering.

Start up "Shut The Fuck Up!" but continue up the steep arete on fantastic holds.

Climb the laid-back arete right of gully to finish through overlap.

At the top of Green 'Gully' is a corner with a bouldery start.

Takes the centre of the face on block overlooking head of Green 'Gully'.

Uphill and right of Green Gully is a compact wall forming the east end of Billywing Buttress. A chossy black off-width crack is a landmark.

Start at the lovely clean crack 1m right of the black line forming the black identifying chimney.

Go up clean crack until it peters out (when it gets pumpy there is a huge secret hold out right). Step left into the chimney and follow the black line to a large ledge at 30 metres. Continue to the top (as climbed) or belay and walk left to 23 metre rap from bollard.

Climb the crack 1 metre left of the off-width and then the steep, juggy wall above.

Start a few metres right of the chossy black off-width.

Climb the orange wall to weakness in the dark rock above. Belay at ledge a few metres higher. Downclimb back of buttress into gully.

Technical seam 3 metres right of "Walking Under Strictest Secrecy" to easy finish.

Overhang then crack and wall on east end of "Wall Of Deceit", finishing right under the overhang.

The following are found on the south side, to the right of The Swivel-Eyed Cornice Ogier (wherever that is). There are two distinct diagonals.

The righthand crack surrenders to some good old-fashioned hand jamming. Avoid the temptation to step left at half-height.

No idea where the route goes or what the name is but we do know the grade and who climbed it.
