Routes in The Black Range for selected grade

"Varied and interesting climbing on rock that is reminiscent of Arapiles. Start 3m right of Snapper Crack. Up the slab, then up an awkward seam. Continue diagonally across and up wall till a couple of hard moves bring the overlap to hand. Finish up tiring wall." (Simon Mentz, Glenn Tempest; Grampians Selected Climbs)

Start on undercut arete 3m L of Slanderous Discourse. 4 FH to DUB abseil

Start up the attractive sickle-shaped crack just left of the yucky chimney descent, follow holds left at the break to a thin seam (microwires); then a desperate move back R to finish straight up. If you keep stepping L to finish up arete, it's a reasonable 22.

"The wall 4m left of Mr Meaner has a couple of lines with common start. Move left into curving flake and turn the bulge at its left end." (Simon Mentz, Glenn Tempest; Grampians Selected Climbs). After moving left from 'Murder One', this route manages to stay independent of its neighbour, despite appearances.

"This companion route to The Willows Milkbar offers interesting climbing up the thin right leaning seam before finishing with an amusing mantle over a small overhang."

"I'm sure Chris and Glenn have plenty to confess! A fiery number up an unlikely and poorly protected line. Follow the crack which becomes a gnarly closed seam 8m left of "The Jury Box" (Simon Mentz, Glenn Tempest; Grampians Selected Climbs)

"Not long after the first ascent of this route, Mark wrote a thought provoking article called, 'Life and Death: a Climbers Guide.' It was especially poignant as it was written just prior to his death on Makalu in the Himalaya. This route however isn't quite in the same league as his other creations. Start on the arete immediately right of The Jury Box. Up and across to the bolt, then move back left and finish straight up the arete." (Simon Mentz, Glenn Tempest; Grampians Selected Climbs)

Blunt arête past 2 FHs to half height then traverse way L into Prosecutor to finish.

Start up CL head 3m right at ledge to 1st SS glue in carrot. Straight up past 2 more SS glue in carrots to DRB lower off.

Start a few metres left of Objection Sustained. Up through a small overhang, then the loose line to the cave. Push through last overhang and up to the top.

To protect rock art, it is requested that this route not be climbed.

To protect rock art, it is requested that the first pitch of this route not be climbed. The second pitch can still be climbed (easily traverse in from 'Malicious Intent'), and the description from the 2001 Grampians Guidebook remains accurate: "Up the bulging arete past a really shitty bolt up high". 2 carrots.

Thin seams on left wall of Subpeona with just enough gear. By the time you get to the guano soaked holds, you will be wishing that someone had scrubbed them clean for you first. After the guano, step right to finish up 'Subpoena'.

Up Itchy Fingers to the first bolt and then move right almost to the arête. Finish quickly on improving holds. (Simon Mentz, Glenn Tempest, Grampians Selected Climbs 2009)
