Routes in Viewpoint Buttress for selected grade

The first crack at the left end of the cliff. Up crack, then up the face on the right, past the bulge to tree belay.

Thin crack, 2m r. of Skylark. Very thin crack, easier than it looks.

The first arete encountered, about 2m R. of High Strake.

Up White Heat for about 20m, then head out left.

Hand-crack & face climbing, about 2.5m R. of White Heat. Poor rock in the lower half, easier but run-out in the top half.

The crack just left of the arete & r. of the dead gumtree. Up the crack to the first small cave, then up to the 2nd cave. Head out right at the overlap, around the face & join Fidelio at it's 4th bolt. Small gear & easier climbing to top & chains. Bold climbing: requires a cool head.

Up C&A Half to 2nd small cave, continue straight up the thin crack, passing a bolt on the left, & into cave. Clip the FH, out onto face & up the open book corner, passing a 3rd b.r. to chains out right.

The face just left of Thunderflash. Bold up to the first carrot at 6-6.5m (hard to spot from ground), small gear to 2nd bolt at 12-13m, past 2 more bolts, then easier climbing & small gear to chains on C&H.

First crack of 4 on this face. Classic thin finger crack & face climbing. 2m r. of Fidelio.

3rd of the cracks on this face, 2m r. of Ready. Up crack on good gear & holds, to tree, then FH.

Nice face climbing to the left of the large chimney. Descend via chains at top of this route. One 60m rope will just get you to a safe ledge with rope stretch.

The thin crack, a couple of metres right & downhill from Thins. Small, but sufficient gear, then tricky mantle at ledge, then up slabby crack to alcove/cave and start of Ghostly Hand. The easiest exit from here is to down-climb to tree & chains above FF&CP.

The shallow corner, just R of Marshmallow. Bold climbing up to first bolt at 10m, over large flake & some friable rock, to 2nd bolt, continue up easier face/shallow corner, to 3rd bolt & top. Rap off cable around tree above Bailliere.

Shallow groove & left facing corner just R of TGR. Face climb the shallow alcove with just enough gear where you need it. TB on Bailliere.

The shallow groove 1.5m R of Going Up. Climbing is better than it looks from the ground. Belay from cable above Bailliere.
