Grade Route Gear style Popularity
Upstream of Suspension Bridge High Water
V4 High Water

Sit start on the right facing large sidepull at the bottom of the boulder with feet on the pedestal below (The pedestal is split by a crack not far to the right of where the boulder sits, don't use feet right of the crack). A tricky first move, involving an improbably looking pinch or alternatively some small gaston crimps, leads to some better holds to gain the lip only to be followed by a heart-breaker slopey topout.

Boulder 2m
V4 High Prow

Sit start under the prow, left hand on the arete, right hand on a good sloper on the low lip, slap your way up to easier finish.

FA: Tommy Krauss, 2021

Boulder 2m
Upstream of Suspension Bridge Low Water
V4 Dehydration Sit Start

Sit start to Dehydration via a left sidepull and right hand underclinging the base of the boulder.

BoulderProject 2m
Upstream of Suspension Bridge Ground Zero Boulders
V4 Millwright Low

Sit start with left hand on good side pull low and right hand on gaston on the lip, bump out right to the arete and climb arete to top. Starting with your left hand on the gaston and right hand on the arete goes at around v3.

Boulder 2m
V4 Free The Double Knee

Hang start on the good indented jug on the lip, bad feet or campus slap your way to a graceful double knee mantle.

Boulder 2m
V4 Tipping the Velvet

Sit start as for Little Women, and finish as for Millwright Low

FA: Kris Penn

Boulder 5m
V4 Turn the Pages Arete

Highball. Apparently done as a trad route (21) back in the dark ages but that’s ridiculous - it’s a boulder! Stand start on the nose into easier high ground.

Boulder 3m
Upstream of Suspension Bridge Driftwood Boulders
V4 Driftwood

Highball. Stand start in the middle of the main face. Layaway/rock up to a good hold, before continuing up the thin cracks and RH arete.

Boulder 5m
Upstream of Suspension Bridge Snakes & Ladders Area
V4 Ladders

The river facing wall. Sit start on far left at large side pull. Pop to rail, traverse slightly R then up central line.

Boulder
Sunny Side Bouldering 2nd set
V4 4's a Crowd

Sit start on two opposing sidepulls and climb just left of the corner without using the other boulder to the right.

Boulder 5m
V4 Five for Five

Sit start squeezing on a good LH sidepull in the gap and a not so good RH sidepull a little lower. Continue up more sidepulling to the top without using the other boulder to the left.

Boulder 5m
V4 Toe for Tufa

Stand start towards the middle of the block using two stacked vertical side pulls. Venture out right to a good opposing side pull, then travel back left to top out as for “Five for Five” Jaime Williams (FA)

FA: Jaime Williams, 25 Nov

Boulder
Shady Side Bouldering Heckle Area
V4 Trickster

Stand start from offwidth traverse rightwards across face and bridge through the corner to finish in the crack on the right. As the name implies, its more of a puzzle than a difficult rock climb.

Boulder
Shady Side Bouldering Lamp Post 9
V4 LP9 traverse

Start on a waist high short horizontal rail about 4 meters left of the arête. Make a big move up to the next good rail and traverse rightwards around the corner where the rail becomes a seem. Continue on until just before the corner where you can drop down to a good incut left-facing sidepull to finish.

Boulder
Shady Side Bouldering Lamp Post 12
V3/4 Jumper

Jump start to the good crimp rail at around 2 and a half metres up. Move straight up without using the large ledge on your left. Eliminate but good problem!

Boulder 3m
Shady Side Bouldering Lamp Post 17
V4 Main Arete Sit

2 metres to the left of Right Arete is a blunt corner. Sit start on a left hand crimp at around waist height and right hand on the arete. Hard move with bad feet gets you off the ground and and onto a good left hand sidepull into the stand start. Climb to the top from here

Boulder
V3/4 Henry Barber Arete

Stand start the Arete left of bench seat. Quite a bit of history as this was reportedly FA'd by Henry Barber in 1975

FA: Henry Barber, 1975

Boulder 3m
V4 Inflatable

At water level, climbs arete moving right to finish above a hostile landing.

FA: Patrick Munnings, 2022

FA: Nick Hanson, 23 Apr 2021

Boulder 2m
V4 - 6 Project V4+

Cleaned and ready to go. Untried, so not sure of grade. Up for grabs if you want it! At a guess, maybe v4+

FA: Nick Hanson, 23 Apr 2021

Boulder 2m
The Knoll The Pit of Doom
V4 The Green Monster (Stand)

The steep central L line up the nose of the boulder. Stand start with LH on arete and RH on big triangle pinch. Some strong moves, then slab to top out. Top section still needs a good clean.

FA: Nick Morgan, 2022

Boulder 4m
Duck Reach Bouldering Upstream of Suspension Bridge The Nose Wall
V4 Compression Line

Stand start L of crack with good low LH, and RH on slopey arete. Compress up to better holds without using the R wall or standing on the lower ramp.

V4 Unnamed Proper

Sit start matched in the diagonal crack and move straight up. Easier alternative can be done by heading right rather than straight up the face.

Boulder 3m
Duck Reach Bouldering Upstream of Suspension Bridge Seize The Day Blocs
V4 Carpe Diem

Stand start at good juggy rail and head straight up with sidepulls, underclings, slopers and crimps. A good all rounder!

Sit start as for Pineapple Traverse but head straight up via good holds

FA: Tommy Krauss, 2013
