Routes in Binalong for selected grade

A proud line striking upwards seven metres above the ground and over a roughly 10 metre, wretched fall with a good chance of a roll down the hill afterward. There are no bolts on this climb, and the first ascensionist requests you keep it that way. The lower crack will take some natural protection, but peters out at around the four metre mark. You may be able to fiddle something in above the shaky flake. There's a shaky flake, by the way. One crux- the little rooflet. Don't go left or right at the rooflet. As it's the pussy variant, you can use the boulder in front to avoid the beginning boulder problem. Pussy. Easy enough to set up a top-rope. Top out.

An easy problem on the face. Sit-start yet to go.

Sit start and up, cleaning as you go!

Easily up past a very big flake.

Sit start and up on the easier side of the boulder.

Up using the right side arete. For best value, huck a big throw to the top from as low as possible.

Sit start and up and over.

On the boulder just to the right of 'I Rolled a 4'. From a sit, head up the arete using the crack to establish yourself.

Sit start and up. Watch out for the sidecling, it might go!

Start low right next to 'Magoo' then up and left to top out.

Undercling sit start. Up using only the crack.

Traverse the boulder from right to left then top out for 'Ermagawd'.

Mantle the left side of the boulder.

Up and over, nothing amazing.

Start on left side of face on good right hand/foot, left foot up to pocket, push through to reach easy mantle up to top out. Watch out for loose flakes at the top.

A simple up and over.

Straight up through ever smaller footers.

Right side of boulder, sit start.

Sit start from the underclings and up.

Sit start and straight up to top out.

Try not to bruise your butt falling 10 cms if you lose your grip. The most lowball sit-start you'll probably ever see.

To the left of 'Paddy Marley', head up through the centre of the wall before traversing left to the good flakes, followed by a risky top-out.

Sit start around the corner from 'Don't Wanna Go To School'.

Stand Start to crux then easily up and over.

Ken

Up through the crack to a jug and top out to the right.

Sit Start on BIG jugs. Straight up.

Up the slab through some slightly more balancy holds, topping out left of 'Taken For Granite'.

Sit start on a sharp flake and small edge. Up and over.

The chimney start. Get right inside and go up to the top without using any of the juggy footers around. Actually a bit of a lark.

Sit start jug on the right/high side of the boulder. Pull onto slab up and over.

Straight up the crack. Overhung, but far easier than it looks.

Rubbish. Sit start on ok holds. Done with a dynamic move to the rim then easily over.

Up and top out. A slab.

Sit start on right end in little corner. Work way up right arete.

Head up the slab.

Sit start on big side pull. Straight up on jugs.

Sit start the right side. Big jugs, goes easy enough.

Pleasant little crack.

Follow the arete avoiding getting into the crack. Top out on reasonable holds.

Up using the flake (hard to ignore, really) through easy and good holds.

Another easy one on this boulder.

Straight up the front of the boulder, through the pocket and out. Easy.

A nice amble up an arete.

Looks easy, doesn't it? Then you realise it's stacked hand and fists to start, with a lovely drop onto a hard granite slab if you do anything wrong, and the crack widens as you go, making it a full offwidth experience with the extra spice of possibly having to roll down a hill if you fall. Easy enough if you layback and avoid using the crack, but around V1 if you go at it full offwidth style.

Sit start. Up and over.

A shorter warm-up for the area, head straight up the off-widthy crack to a low topout.

Sit start. Up and over!

Straight up through the body of the boulder. Bit of a downhill landing.

Sit start left side arete.

Not wonderful. Enough holds to get up, use it as a warmup. The boulder to the left of the tombstones facing up the hill.

Sit start and move left to the rail.

Up the crack. Bit of a poor landing if you have difficulty topping out.

Straight up the highest part of the boulder

Straight up the front of the boulder using compression slaps.

Easily up the sloped side of the boulder - as easily as England beat the B side in Perth. Happy Australia day.

Sit down, grab the big rail, walk up the boulder. If you just use the slopers it may even be V2.

Sit start. Some good holds but it's still tricky getting off the ground with the poor feet available. You can easily make this harder but if you do it right it should be a 0. One of a group of good warmups for the harder stuff down the hill.

Sometimes, they just disappear... Sit start and up.

Up the left side of the boulder when looking uphill. Not hard, but not bad either.

Stand start, up the face.
