Routes in Mountain Quarry for selected grade

Stand Start The left arete

Sit Start obvious long hold. Straight up.

Eliminate. Sit start as for Bumble and go left along the obvious high rail. Go all the way to the left area and top out above Mr Bump.

Extension to High Traverse, starting right at the back of the boulder, traversing on slopers (top of the boulder) and dropping into High Traverse when you reach Mission Ignition.

Sit start in pockets. Up using slopers and arete.

Due to rain during 10th to 14th June 2019 “City Limits” has fallen down. This climb no longer exists.

The climb used to be sustained, technical and insecure layaways up the thin flake on the L side of the wall. Originally aided as Woomera (M1). Reportedly first soloed by an unknown visiting UK climber, then later bolted and repeated by Richardson not knowing of the ascent.

10m left of Playboy and 6m up slope. Climb drill hole to ledge. Up and over the next slab, then follow the bolts on the second wall.

The right edge of the blank wall. Steep, overhanging, and so rewarding when you get it!

Route starts 2m right of Turbodiesel Excavator and continues over two overlaps to anchors.

3 meters left of Inside Out. 9 BR to lower offs. A climb in 3 acts. Climb the drill stem with a delicate move over the 3rd BR to stance above overlap. Left to gain corner and up to headwall. Commit to final wall and gain layback pillar with a pleasant move to win top. Last BR out of sight and over top.3

NOTE: the original carrot bolts had been chopped, making it unclimbable for some years, but the line was rebolted in September 2017 with ring bolts.

The playstation just to the left of LOTD with five acts and no half-way house. Act 1; eat plenty of baby carrots and scheme to get your wife on the warpath. Act 2; climb the bulging wall with precision and positive, high thoughts. Act 3; surmount the awkward block and low traverse up the ramp. Act 4; ascend the overhanging wall with much determination and nervous energy. Retain the energy necessary to rip off a sprayed on condom for the move up to the last clip. Act 5; take the train to Mandurah, hoot, hoot.

A terrifying weather-making adventure just 5 metres right of Inside Out. Launch from the block and surmount the bulging wall with 3BR to gain the interesting slab above. Ascend the slab with 2BR to gain the anti-ramp. Climb the anti-ramp with its left leaning tendencies and 2BR, and three death defying dance moves past a do or die FBB. Overcome global tilt with another gut-sucking FBB. One more BR to DBB. This superclimb was quarried and bolted over several weekends including at 0700 hours on the coldest morning in recorded WA history. Truscott even bought news shoes after ten years of wearing some old Ron Masters specials. Never, never, never give up according to Winston Churchill.

The highest, and one of the better lines in Perth; a real crowd pleaser. Pitch One. Climb the great white streak a few metres left of BA. Leave the ground with difficulty, then crank, dyno or static up the overhanging wall with 4BR. Ascend the slab on 3BR and do not think about Napoleon surrendering to his accountant when surmounting the mantle of despair. Bog on up the second overhanging escalade with 7BR to DBB. Feel for the hidden holds over the final lip. Pitch Two. 15m 21. Balance up the arête with 5BR to DBB. J. Truscott, M. Rosser

Powerful moves. Stick clip required for first FH. The hanger spins and is hard to stick clip.

Line is between The Force and Vader and is obvious to the eye. 8 bolts and a sling for a blast hole.

This route should not be climbed due to face falling apart.

Start up Urban Ethics then branch left into Star Wars. The more common way of doing Star Wars since the rockfall

Hangers required. Start left of obvious crack (Power Play), and traversing left around arete (can go straight up to third bolt - same grade). Continue up run out section using ever smaller crimps. Excellent climb and probably the best for this grade near Perth. Shares anchors with Power Play.

July 2020: the large side pull after the runout in the middle of the route feels loose - CAREFUL where you hold on to to get that clip. The block is large and it would be a disaster if it falls. Great candidate to receive some glue soon.

Starts up as "Urban Ethics" then from 2nd carrot go straight up to the bolt and continue on the wall staying on the right side of the arete. After climbing crux moves above 4th bolt finish up same as original.

Follow the seam and continue up the arete on it's RH side to a tricky mantle and easy finish. Just enough gear.

Stand start up sick little ramp feature, Continue up arete, Fall at the top and you'll die.
