Unknown year | |||||
21 | ★ Robbie's Robust Runners (Direct Start)
Start 2m or so L of the usual route, near "RRR" mark. Instead of starting up the 'Juice' crack then traversing L, climb straight up the steep face to join the usual route at its 2nd FH. The usual route's 1st RB off to the R may offer some protection for the start, depending on how direct you go. | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 | ★ The Hyena's Heinie (Variant Start)
Start 2m L of the usual 'The Hyena's Heinie' start. An alternate start to 'The Hyena's Heinie' which makes it very slightly harder. Up steep blocky arete past 2 RBs before joining the usual line at its 3rd bolt. FFA: Gareth Llewellin & ross ferguson | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 | ★ That Boy Needs Therapy.
Start 5m R of 'MOBS'. A popular beginner lead that gets harder as you go up. 4 RBs and DBB. | 15m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | ★ Robbie's Robust Runners (Variant Finish)
| 20m | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 | ★★ More Bolts Than Metres RHV
Start as for MBTM then at the first bolt traverse right. Climbing on the right side of the bolts all the way to the chains. This creates a easier variant to MBTM. | 7m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
2 | ★★★ I Tick Stairs ('cause I'm a Loser)
Just in case you feel the need to tick an ascent of the stone stairs at the L end of 'Left Main Wall'. | 40m | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 R | ★★ Crossed With No Name
Start as for 'Crossed With No Name V'. As for 'Crossed With No Name V' but climb directly through the overhang (currently very vegetated). FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth FA: Justin Appietto, 1990 | 20m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||

1969 | |||||
18 | ★ Mank Mistress
Start 2m Left of 'Pass the Bosch' or 1m Right of the Nightfell scoop. Originally climbed on top rope in the 60s, 'Mank Mistress' was anonymously retrobolted into a seemingly well protected sport route in about 2010. However careful inspection in 2014 (triggered by the anonymous bolting of 'Breakfast At Tiffanys') revealed substandard bolting and the bolts were removed. Rebolted in March 2019. Start below the bolt about 3.5m up, just Right of the big concave wall (Nightfell). Straight up past this to 2nd bolt, up to ledge & 3rd bolt on short wall on Left. Up to the big ledge & clip 4th bolt at head height, straight up the block to 5th bolt (crux), then easy climbing to chains. FA: Rick White, 1969 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 | ★ Olos
Eddie Irvine's first lead... hung himself by his gear sling when his foot slipped placing a nut in the layback! LOL FA: Ted Cais, 1969 | 20m | Kangaroo Point | ||
1980 | |||||
16 | ★ Ring Around the Moon
Start 1m R of 'Dinosaur'. Marked "RAM". Up arete to overhang then escape R and top out. FA: Bernie Corfield & John Jones, 1980 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 R | ★ Smog
Start 3m R of 'Cornflake Crack'. Marked "S". Poor protection. Up to the concave scoop on dodgy rock, some gear in the thin crack on the right, up on poor gear to face above & better placements, then to top on reasonable gear, head right to DBB on Septugenarian, or top-out. FA: Tony Howes & Bernie Corfield, 1980 FFA: Mark Gamble & Megan Randall, 2007 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Wounded Knee
Start at the "WK" mark. Up past 4 BRs then natural pro in second half. DBB. Remember your boltplates. FA: John Jones & Bernie Corfield, 1980 FFA: Rob & Cath Whannell, 1985 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 | ★ Tiger Stripe
Start at "TS" mark. Trend L past 3 FHs then back R again past 4th FH to join 'Tiger's Tail' for final FH & shared DBB. FA: Bernie Corfield & John Jones, 1980 FFA: Lee Cujes, Sam Coles & Chris Gibson, 2004 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 | Salt Sity Waltz
Obsolete but included for historical/confusion reasons. Disappeared after a fig tree grew nearby. 'Tiger Stripe' covers this part of the wall. FA: Bernie Corfield & John Jones (Top Rope), 1980 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 R | Tuesday Afternoon Walk
Start just L of the waterfall. Marked "TA". Manky trad crack. FA: Unknown, 1980 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
17 R | ★ Wrath Of Grapes
Start 2m R of 'Nut'. Marked "WoG". Straight up past very high BR to halfway ledge and 2nd BR. Scramble R to base of corner. Layback up corner with natural pro to top. FA: John Jones, 1980 FFA: Mick Woodrow & Moira Blom, 1986 | 20m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1983 | |||||
19 | ★ Olos (Variant Finish)
Start as for 'Olos'. At halfway, traverse R to meet 'The Olos Slab' at its last bolt and finish as per that climb. FFA: Tony Young, 1983 | 20m, 1 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1984 | |||||
19 | ★★ Surrender
Start at arete 1m R of 'Crimes and Misdemeanours'. Fine and balancy slab climbing that tests the head as much as the feet. A great climb at the grade, but with some potential for ledgy falls so make sure you're solid. 5 RBs & DBB. FA: Andrew Barry & Paul Hoskins, 1984 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★★ Chubba Chips Mods
Start 2m R of 'Crossed With No Name'. Marked "CCM". You will need 5 bolt plates. Up steep wall past 3 BRs. Climb past 2 more BRs to crack. Follow crack placing natural pro. DBB with rings. FFA: Dave Moss, 1984 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | ★ Slime Fresh

17 R | Olos (Variant Start)
FA: Andrew Barry, 1984 | Kangaroo Point | |||
22 R | ★★ Love Hurts
Start at corner 3m R of 'Surrender', just L of "NUT" mark (it's often confused with 'Nut'). Up corner past 3 RBs then layback the crux to attain ledge. More challenging moves past 2 RBs to finish at DBB. FFA: Andrew Barry & Paul Hoskins, 1984 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1985 | |||||
16 | ★ Robbie's Robust Runners
Start up short crack as for 'Juice'. From ledge above crack follow line of FHs L and up. At 4th FH, step R and mantle into base of cuboidal chimney. Continue up this past final FH. The DBB has been stolen (bastards!) so either top out or traverse awkwardly R to the 'Juice' DBB. FFA: Rob Stewart, 1985 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Wounded Knee
Start at the "WK" mark. Up past 4 BRs then natural pro in second half. DBB. Remember your boltplates. FA: John Jones & Bernie Corfield, 1980 FFA: Rob & Cath Whannell, 1985 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 R | ★ 32A
Start 2m R of 'Zac'. Faintly marked "32A". Up past 3 RBs to ledge. Up slab then corner with minimal protection and top out to R. Yet another decent climb mostly overlooked because pro is dodgy. FFA: Evan Bieske, Andrew Barry, Gordon Bieske & Dave Moss, 1985 | 20m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 R | ★ Zac
Start 2m R of 'Lesbian Printshop Workers'. Faintly marked "Z". Straight up manky 1st half to ledge, clipping BRs on '32A' and/or 'LPW'. Continue up nice cracked slab and corner with desperate natural pro to top. FFA: Rob Whannell, 1985 | 20m | Kangaroo Point | ||
26 | ★★ The Olos Slab
Start below large blank slab. Scramble onto ledge. Climb up slab then headwall following line of 5 RBs (with an optional nut to protect the moves to 1st bolt). Finish at DBB. Originally led in the 90s, making use of a slightly enhanced hold. That hold was filled in in 2000, and lead successfully at grade 25. FFA: Paul Hoskins, Chris Frost & Andrew Barry, 1985 FFA: Cameron Fairbairn, 2000 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1986 | |||||
19 R | ★ Wrath of Grapes (Variant Finish)
Start as for usual 'Wrath of Grapes', 2m R of 'Nut'. Begin as for usual route but continue straight up arete in top half passing 2 FHs and topping out. Way better than the original route, this is the way to do it! FFA: Mick Woodrow & Moira Blom, 1986 | 20m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 | ★★ Lesbian Printshop Workers
Start 2m R of 'Postmodernist Blues'. Marked "LPW". Rebolted in 2019 Follow the L tending line of 5 RBs up nice wall and thin slab. Push through the great crux sequence, placing a #2 wire, and top out. FA: Michael Woodrow & Moira Blom, 1986 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||

1992 | |||||
18 | ★ Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)
Start as for 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)', 3m R of 'Kiwi'. Marked "AFD". Straight up past 3 FHs then head L to BR (a bit run out). Up fun juggy bulge then move R along ledge to arete. Either finish up this past 2 BRs to top or traverse R to DBB on 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)'. Prior to 2004 this climb started up 'Kiwi' and was known as "Kiwi RHV". FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 1992 FFA: Lee Cujes, 2004 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★ Gynaecology
Rebolted in November 2019 with two fresh RBs. Start just L of 'Postmodernist Blues'. Marked "G". Straight up clipping the 2 RBs shared with 'Postmodernist Blues' but staying left of the bolt line. At the halfway ledge step L and climb up corner to anchor. The corner takes good natural gear, despite what the guidebook may suggest. FA: Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1992 | 20m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 R | ★★ Kiwi
Start at the "K" mark. Nice moves through a thin crux sequence. First bolt is very high (hence the "R" rating). 5 FHs & DBB. There's a ground anchor at the base for lead rope soloing. FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 1992 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 R | ★ Saul and Dave's Excellent Adventure
Start 2m L of 'Gynaecology'. Solo up wall to ridiculously high BR. Continue straight up past 2nd BR to ledge. Finish up hard steep wall past BR & FH and top out. FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 1992 | 20m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | ★★ Halva
Start 2m L of 'Kiwi'. Marked "H". Brilliant moves all the way to the top. Best grade 16 at the cliff. First bolt is a little high but the moves up to it are solid. 5 FHs to DBB. FFA: Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1992 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 | ★ Snake in the Grass
Start 3m L of 'Olos'. Marked "SG". Tend R up thin face past high RB to ledge and 2nd RB. Continue up cracked face (small wires) and top out. FFA: Dave Whitworth, Andy Anderson & Marten Bruveris, 1992 | 20m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 R | ★ Insomnia
Start 2m R of 'Dirty Situations'. Marked "I". Way too runout as a sport route so take trad gear. For example, potential big groundfall before 3rd bolt = can be protected with a small cam such as a C3. 4 RBs and DBB. Technical & balancy climbing to 1st RB, crux move over the lip to 2nd RB, up the thin, balancy face to 3rd RB, more thin moves on slab above to 4th RB, then easier ground to chains. Very slippery rock. FFA: Andy Anderson, Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1992 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★ Saturn Return

Start 2m R of 'Wind in the Willows'. Marked "C". Decent beginner lead, well-protected by 5 RBs to chains. (Rebolted May 2020) FFA: Darrin Carter & John Hattink, 1993 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 R | ★ Wind in the Willows
Start 2m R of 'Slippery When Wet', 4m R of 'Tiger's Eye'. Good climbing but beware the run out to the 2nd bolt = ground fall territory from the 2nd bolt. 4 RBs to DBB or clip the carrot and top out for full value. Rebolted in 2020 with RBs & equipped with lower-offs. FFA: Darrin Carter & Darren Watter, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 | ★ Far Out Brussel Sprout
Start at the "FOBS" mark. Hard overhung start then more easily up past 6 RBs to DBB. FA: Darrin Carter & Adam Donoghue, 1993 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||

Start 4m R of 'Wrath of Grapes'. Up small ledges to very high BR. Continue past 2nd BR to ledge at half height. On up tough headwall past BR & FH to top. FFA: Gary O'Neill & Maxine Conroy, 1993 | 20m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 | ★ Gungle Gim
Sandbagged old school climb and grade. Not a lot of pro in the first half. FA: Darrin Carter, 1993 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★ Silly or Serious
Start 2m L of 'Halva'. Faintly marked "SOS". Nondescript bottom section with fun, airy finish. 5 RBs to DBB. FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 1993 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 X | ★ Blue Veined Custard Shooter
Start at crack 2m R of 'Arrow'. Good climbing but very bold on lead. Up crack then push past overhang to ledge. Finish up unprotected wall. FA: John Hattink & Darrin Carter, 1993 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 R | ★ Arrow
Start at the "A" mark just below the drill hole. First bolt is very high. Slinging the drill hole offers some protection but still take care not to fall while clipping. 4 RBs & DBB. FFA: Michael Woodrow & Martin Lama, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | Dirty Situations
Start 2m R of 'Untouched'. Marked "DS". Up past 2 BRs to overhang. Reach out and clip fixed carabiner on lip of overhang. Mantle then up easily past another BR and top out. Beware getting to first bolt! FFA: Darrin Carter & Adam Donoghue, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
22 R | ★ Froth
Start up the gap between the overhangs, 2m R of 'Pre Menstrual Tendons'. Easy climbing past 2 RBs, then pass flake with optional gear placements that make the run out less harrowing. Finish over crux overhang with 2 RBs to DBB. FA: Martin Lama & Michael Woodrow, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | ★ Untouched
Start 2m R of 'Razor'. Marked "UN". Follow line of 3RBs then a FH to DBB. FFA: Darrin Carter & Adam Donoghue, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 R | ★★ Juice
Start at short crack 3m L of 'Wounded Knee'. Bouldery moves up crack (somewhat) protected by RB 1m to L. Straight up slabby corner past RB then very long runout up R-tending steps to ledge below corner. Fun moves up corner past 2 RBs to DBB shared with 'After the Gold Rush'. Just barely qualifies as sport - could do with a rebolt. Rebolted in 2015 by Safer Cliffs Queensland. FFA: Michael Woodrow & Martin Lama, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 R | ★ Pre Menstrual Tendons
Start 1m R of 'Lost in Space'. Marked "PMT". Very high 1st bolt. 5 RBs and DBB. The section up to the first bolt can be protected with a tricam in the pocket, and a small cam in the slot as you pull over the bulge. FA: Martin Lama & Michael Woodrow, 1993 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 R | ★★ After the Gold Rush
Start up short crack as for 'Juice'. Climb as per 'Juice' to 2nd RB then continue straight up to climb face between 'Robbie's Robust Runners' chimney on L and 'Juice' corner on R, passing 2 RB's. Finish at DBB shared with 'Juice'. Very run out between 2nd and 3rd bolts. Edit: This run out can be protected with a number 5 nut in the top of the crack to the left of the first ledge after the second clip. Rebolted in 2015 by Safer Cliffs Queensland. FFA: Adam Donoghue & Paul Saunders, 1993 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 | ★ Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)
Start as for 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)', 3m R of 'Kiwi'. Marked "AFD". Straight up past 3 FHs then head R past BR to roof. Clip FH just above roof and crank through crux (climbing R around roof is a much easier climb). Once above roof, either run it out straight up easy corner to DBB on ledge or move L around arete to join 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)', finishing up past 2 BRs to top. Prior to 2004 this climb traversed in from 'Kiwi'. FFA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 1993 FFA: Lee Cujes & Chris Gibson, 2004 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1994 | |||||
22 | ★ Crimes and Misdemeanours
Start at the R end of Olos slab. Marked "C+M". Thin moves on slab following 3 BRs then up shallow corner in headwall past 2 BRs to DBB shared with 'Surrender'. Staying true to the route requires staying off both 'The Olos Slab' and the 'Surrender' arete, resulting in a pretty contrived climb. FFA: Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1994 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 | ★★ Move Over Brussel Sprout
Start at the "MOBS" mark, 2m R of 'FOBS'. Bouldery start and a little bit run out. Potential for ledgy falls so make sure you're solid if leading. Make sure to tend L after 4th bolt. 4 FHs plus an optional BR to protect the awkward reach back to clip the DBB. FA: Dave Whitworth & Saul Squires, 1994 | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
12 | ★ Zoro
The left tending crack. Has a set of anchors over the bulge at the top on a nice ledge. FA: Marcus T O'Mara, 1994 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||

16 | ★ Standing Room Only
Start at "SRO" mark. Hard start to 1st bolt then continues much more easily. 5 RBS to DBB. FA: David Whitworth & Michael Long, 1994 | 18m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||

17 | ★ Lost in Space
Start at obvious crack 3m R of 'Ring Around the Moon', marked SKEG (for some reason). Very good protection Up intermittent crack to overhang. Over this (crux) and top out to R. FA: Glenn Sharrock & G. Harden, 1995 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 | ★ Earth to Stella
Start at base of 10m pillar, about 5m R of bottom of the stone stairs. Fun pumpy moves up L face of pillar past 2 BRs. Finish on top of pillar at DBB. FFA: Phil Lawlor & Maree Spinaze, 1995 | 10m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 | ★ Bottle Stopper | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 | ★ Stephen's Eyeful Tower | 18m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
23 | ★★ The Olos & Crimes Connection
Linkup. Up 'The Olos Slab' to 3rd RB then R to finish up top of 'Crimes and Misdemeanours'. FFA: Adam Donoghue & Sean Smith, 1995 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
14 R | ★ Cornflake Crack
Start at the base of the deep crack. Follow the right-tending crack until it runs out then head straight to the top. Minimal protection, especially higher up. FA: Glenn Sharrock, Loretta Davis & Brett Henderson, 1995 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
12 | ★ Gungle Gim Right
FA: Dave 'Baldrick' Chapman, 1995 | 18m | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 R | ★ Burning Fragment
Start as for 'Nightfell'. A more direct version of 'Nightfell' which goes straight through the overhang rather than skirting around it. 2 FHs, though they provide next to no protection at the crux where the potential for a nasty ledge fall is high. Top rope advised. FFA: Heath Black & Martin Blumen, 1995 | 18m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 | ★ David Mac
Start 1m L of 'Cornflake Crack'. Marked "DM". Named after a climber killed on Crookneck. Climb up slinging drill hole, then follow line of 3 RBs to DBB. Originally led as a trad route but has been retrobolted. FA: Heath Black & Mark Bennett, 1995 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
21 | ★ Dream Killer
Traverse. Start at 'Halva'. Four pitch traverse finishing up 'The Olos Slab'. FA: Heath Black & Mark Bennett, 1995 | 110m | Kangaroo Point | ||
20 R | ★ Radioactive Cheerio (Direct)
Start as for original 'Radioactive Cheerio'. Climb up to 2nd BR as per the original route, then, instead of traversing R at 2nd bolt, climb straight up the headwall past a FH. Continue up cracked pillar with natural pro to top. Big reach and balance move. FFA: Darrin Carter & Dave Whitworth, 1995 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Radioactive Cheerio
Start 2m R of 'Prickles', 2m L of 'Ego'. Faintly marked "RC". Straight up to stance & BR. Traverse R past BR to mantle move & FH shared with 'Ego'. From here trend L to climb up cracked pillar with natural pro to top. FFA: Darrin Carter & Dave Whitworth, 1995 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1996 | |||||
18 | ★ Vegemite
Start at the "V" mark. Up using BR and natural pro to FH and crux at half height. Traverse R and up past BR to top. FFA: Ross Denington & Darrin Carter, 1996 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
15 | ★ Crap Corner
Start 1m L of 'Earth to Stella'. Probably not an ironic name. Climb up face to crack at L side of the 'ETS' pillar. Follow crack as it widens and tends R to finish at top of pillar. Shares the 'ETS' DBB. FFA: Paul Lester, 1996 | 10m | Kangaroo Point | ||
23 | ★ Ego
Start 2m L of 'Silly or Serious'. Marked "EGO". Up past BR to stance. Place #1 RP then up small corner on L to FH. Step R to face then up past BR to below slab. Thin moves up slab past 2 FHs and top out. Yet another example of a 'KP' "trad" route that would benefit from being fully bolted. FFA: Heath Black & Dave Whitworth, 1996 | 20m, 5 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Ego (Left Variant)
Start as for original 'Ego'. Instead of finishing up the slab, climb corner to L with natural pro. Top out. FA: Paul Lester, 1996 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
19 | ★ Nut
Start at the arete 2m R of the 'Love Hurts' corner. Marked "NUT", although the actual start is about 1m R of the mark. Nice climbing with a fun crux between the 3rd & 4th bolts which is tricky for the grade. 6 (well-camouflaged) RBs & DBB. Was originally led with just two bolts and trad. Retro-bolted with permission. FA: Heath Black, 1996 | 20m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
16 | Razor
Start 2m right of Crap. Marked "R" . 3 RBs to DBB. High first bolt! Can be climbed by clipping the first two bolts of Crap. (Rebolted July 2020, QCRC) FA: Darrin Carter & Ross Denington, 1996 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
1998 | |||||
16 | Samson's Pillar | 20m | Kangaroo Point | ||
1999 | |||||
21 | ★ Devined
Start below steep smooth face about 10m R of 'Earth to Stella' pillar. Climb series of cracks offering good natural pro to finish at DBB. No mantling or escaping R to ledges. Will need to be de-vined again before the next ascent! FA: Lee Cujes & Erik Smits, 1999 | 10m | Kangaroo Point | ||

Mantle onto the halfway ledge then up the crack (medium friends) and arete to top. FA: Saul Squires & Dave Whitworth, 2000 | 20m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||
17 | ★★ Pass the Bosch
Start 2m L of 'Vegemite'. Good climb with sustained moves up nice rock. 6 RBs & DBB. There's a ground anchor just L of the base for lead rope soloing. FFA: Dave Whitworth & Michael Long, 2000 | 18m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
17 R | ★ Tiger's Eye
Start 2m R of 'Tiger's Tail'. Marked "TE". Straight up past 2 RBs (1st one is high) to drill hole & crux, up onto the slab & final RB, then up to chains. NB: the drill hole has a crack running through it. I would advise a small cam, or tricam, placed sideways, or better, a ballnut in the crack on the slab. Rebolted in 2020 with RBs & a lower-off. FFA: Darrin Carter, 2000 | 18m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||
26 | ★★ The Olos Slab
Start below large blank slab. Scramble onto ledge. Climb up slab then headwall following line of 5 RBs (with an optional nut to protect the moves to 1st bolt). Finish at DBB. Originally led in the 90s, making use of a slightly enhanced hold. That hold was filled in in 2000, and lead successfully at grade 25.

18 R | ★ A Quickie Before Dinner
Start 1m R of 'Earth to Stella'. Straight up R face of the 'ETS' pillar past 2 BRs and finish on top of pillar at the 'ETS' DBB. The bolts are a bit too spaced resulting in a dodgy 2nd clip. FFA: ross ferguson, 2001 | 10m, 2 | Kangaroo Point | ||

23 | ★ Plumber's Bum
Start 2m L of 'Snake in the Grass'. Up thin face tending L past 2 RBs to halfway ledge. BRs & a FH in top half, finishes at chains. FFA: ross ferguson, 2002 | 20m, 6 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Brickie's Butt Crack (Left Finish)
Start as for 'Brickie's Butt Crack (Right Finish)', 2m R of 'Web'. Up following line of 3 BRs. From ledge at 2/3 height, tend L up crack in face (natural pro) then past another BR to DBB. Start is much easier (12) if steps to R are climbed instead of directly up past the bolts. FFA: ross ferguson & Claudia Ferguson, 2002 | 20m, 4 | Kangaroo Point | ||
18 | ★ Brickie's Butt Crack (Right Finish)
Start as for 'Brickie's Butt Crack (Left Finish)', 2m R of 'Web'. Up following line of 3 BRs. From ledge at 2/3 height, step R to base of corner then up this (natural pro) to DBB. Start is much easier (12) if steps to R are climbed instead of directly up past the bolts. FFA: ross ferguson & Claudia Ferguson, 2002 | 20m, 3 | Kangaroo Point | ||

21 | ★★ Prickles
Start 2m R of 'Vegemite' below the nice looking overhang. Excellent sustained climbing with a great crux sequence through the overhang. 5 RBs then 2 FHs and DBB. There's a ground anchor at the base for lead rope soloing. FA: Unknown, 2003 | 18m, 7 | Kangaroo Point | ||

18 | ★ Another Faustian Dilemma (Left)
Start as for 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)', 3m R of 'Kiwi'. Marked "AFD". Straight up past 3 FHs then head L to BR (a bit run out). Up fun juggy bulge then move R along ledge to arete. Either finish up this past 2 BRs to top or traverse R to DBB on 'Another Faustian Dilemma (Right)'. Prior to 2004 this climb started up 'Kiwi' and was known as "Kiwi RHV".
