Routes in Sydney Metropolitan for selected grade

Sitstart straight up the middle of the boulder.

Steep boulder 2m left of Rockpool. Crouch start (or akward sitstart for no extra points)

You never actually get in the crack. Starting at bottom of the crack make your way up the crack to top out.

Start at right, head left and up to top out.

Hard move off deck then up to overhang.

Trend right and up. In much need of some love.

Straight forward, straight up to nails Font style knockout crux and engaging runout to anchors.

Powerful moves at start, that lead to quite fun roof thuggery.

Up slab to overhang, straight up through hard terrain with some long moves to a pumpy finish in the roof!

For those who prefer a little extra pump and don't like mantles or runouts, at the 6th bolt of mindhunter keep traversing right on slopers into the top of strange fruit!

A great addition to Sydney sport climbing and total class at the grade. Resistance, sustained climbing on awesome holds puts you straight up the guts of main cave, with some really out there moves.Shared anchors with strange fruit. Rumour has it it sat untouched for years before a young Mitchell was gifted the route in exchange that Mitch would jump up and down on the scary looking block.

Up Mind Hunter then blast left at the anvil through exciting roof, nothing too hard until the pump sets in.

Blast straight up the guts on slopers to gain access to the top crux of Wake Up Time To Fly.

up rose of Jericho to anchors on the left

Boulder up on great rock, then traverse left and up to anchors.

Jump start to tricky slab climbing, stay on juglets under roof the awesome flake pulling to finish. Soft for the grade if you can flake!

Crag classic, first line of bolts. At the roof veer slightly right, past 2 Ubolts, and on to final single Ubolt (ignore double Ubolt lower-off straight up and back jump roof to clean).

The extension of Pocket Rocket. Follow PR till you hit the roof. Extend a draw at the anchors to avoid drag and keep going up! Pull a strenuous move at the lip and climb trough the super technical crimps at the head wall till the anchors.

Mmmn!

Up ladder then left through roof and up red wall past huge eye bolts (Galv 12 mm Petzl Collinex?). Lower-off on slab!

Do this!

Start: 3m right of Tilt.

Start in big jug under lip as for Full Tilt then right past slots

Delicious pocket pulling up top. Orange wall above 15m up and right of Septic Penguins. Boulder start and through roof to hard finish, slap right to anchor. Rebolted 2018

Start on the small, steep upper cliff line above the slabs.

A steep second pitch to Common Origin. Lunge off ledge left of ring anchor, then trend right through scoop and up left past old carrots.

3m right of Lunatic. Up middle of slab and steep wall above. 26?

Stand start on the 2 pockets. Up the face to the peak, eliminating the big hole and the arete.

Sit start to arete directe

Awesome wall climbing from a sit start. Pockets and scooped features to crimps and great top out

Start left side of scoop, move up left, nice cross over into juggy crimp, not sure if it will finish straight up and over or following the break to the left.

A quality mantle problem once brushed. Start on a chest height edge, move up to a slot followed by a technical slopey top out.

Right hand side of cave lie down position, a few big moves on crimps to a highball mantle straight up face.

Stand start in the break, head to the top via the pocket.

Sit start

Start on the juggy rail in the cave just like the Lizard Lip. Move left and throw for a good rail, match and bring your feet across, that is the "lunging" part of the lounge lizards done. Now get ready for the sickest mantle move. Match your hands high on decent slopers, throw high again to a hidden crimp for the final mantle. Very rewarding and can be done with a right heel-hock instead.

Sit start for dyno from perfect sloper slots to break, topping out directly.

Start as for Yertle the Turtle, but break right from the slots via a tricky move to the sidepull jug, topping out from there. Maybe a touch harder than Yertle the Turtle.

Sit start matched in jug and make way straight upwards. Side pull of Thorn is out.

Sit start on low ledge. Make a powerful move to slopey hold up and right before topping out.

Stand start on underclings and poor feet and fight (or finesse) the line of least resistance up the wall of bulges.

Move up through worsening breaks, big slap to top out.

Sit start on the hueco/sidepull. Finish on the sloper. Sharp.

Sit start with LH on crimp under the roof and RH on crimp on the right face of the arete. Tricky first move to the set of 3 crimps then easy until the bulging topout sequence ramps it up a notch. Right wall is off

Stand start on RH jug and LH stacked mono. Plant feet on and reach up to good RH edge, throwing out left to the lip via a double dyno, ninja kick or anything inbetween. John B Meedu (FA)

One-mover. Stand start on slopey sidepulls and up on good holds.

Start matched on slopey diagonal sidepull, punch left to hueco and continue to top out.

Start on the shelf. Big move to the hueco then top out via the elegant crescent shaped holds just right of Dead Calm. Reachy.

Start Matched on the lower far right jug at the lip of the roof. The separated wall on the right is off.

Traverse using holds on the face above the roof in the reverse direction to the V4 ('Right to left').

Finish matched on the starting jug of the V4.

Phillip Booth

Same as 'Right to Left' but topout as 'Dead calm' / 'Aquarius' instead of finishing on the starting hold of the V4

Start matched in hole & head left via pinch & right pocket, mantle.

A serious butt drag of a climb. Sit-start with left hand on the jug rail and right hand on your choice of side pulls on the underside of the boulder. Compress your way out from underneath the boulder on good edges before using jugs to mantel out to the right.

Stand start up the prominent blunt steep arete on the ocean side.

1m left of The Line. Two sloper sidepulls and feet from hell. Topout left of choss hole.

Sit start left side and flake.

Crouch start on the sidepull flake. Head up and over to top out up the slab.

Sit start, hands on left arete and pocket, traverse right through pockets to dyno on on face and top out.

Fun movement into a cool exit.Start on side pull jug and nice flat crimp jug, crouch start. Stay below the lip and exit up corner slab. Avoid jug rail above lip. Landing partial built, recommend 3 decent size pads

Mantis

Favours the tall. Stand start matched under the horn, chock rock is in for feet. Move to the slopey lip and good side pull crimp. Pull yourself up and over to a slightly scary mantle. Hold your nerves and finish up the no hands slab. The landing is partially built, but multiple pads and spotter recommended. Mantis

Sit start matched low in juggy feature. Big move out right then up to a fun mantle. Flexibility helps but not necessary.

Mantis

Sit start on the arete, LH in the corner and RH in pocket. Head straight up.

Up the slab to committing mantle.

Sit start under the prow on RH pocket and LH feature. Head up the prow to top out right.

A real hip popper! Start behind old bench and move up the big pockets to the right. Follow longish sloping ledge, smearing and/or heal hooking like the best of them. Use gaping hole to finish with both hands on the jugging ledge of Dump Divers Dyno and ELAP.

Super Reachy with solid power required on the last hold! A must try!

Stand start both hands on the square pocket near Monkey Magic while ensuring both feet are not on the sandy bit of rock (yellow-orange). Avoid the yellow-orange rock for feet and traverse towards the top-out of Bruce Lee. Also avoid going for the sandy ledge to traverse towards the left.

benthepleb

Start both hands on the undercling before moving up a line of thin crimps to better holds up high. Match the top of the wall for the tick (tree obstructs topout). No shared holds with Coal Train Blues. The large separate bulge of rock to the left is off as per video.

saitama

Initialled start, L of HIE. Up and dyno to BR with fixed hanger. Mantle, move left then up and right (2 BRs one with fixed hanger) to tree.

Arete on the right side of the bloc to the left of Lover's Tiff.

Start as for Susan, then keep traversing left till large, sloped ramp. Follow this. Watch for high slope and wide pocket. Tough if you're short!

Pretty well the final buttress heading right. Start on two high crimps. Up to groovy ramp. Then up over round top. Decent is ugly. Could be 6? Really good. The seated start will make it excellent.

On the steep side of the long block, start about as low as you can. Hold the first lip and traverse it till the apex. May be v6. (The hotline is 1800 152 152 out of interest.)

Link Pants Up Hands Down! into the second half of Hands Up Kookaburra!

Link Stem Junior 2 into Project 6.

Some nice back and forth movement around the arete.

Everything above the pinch and pocket level are out on the starting face of the rock. The top peak of the arete is out.

Vid: Richard C

Link Hands Up Pants Down! into Kookaburra Attacked My Girlfriend.

Start: 2m L 'Grannies From Hell'

Up arete. Chain lower offs

Carrot retro bolt 2016, need replacing

Start: Up center of red-streaked wall. 2 carrots then chain lower off.

Narrow line up the right of the arete.

Right hand on the incut crimp, grab small sidepull for left and desperately up

1/2m to the right of the obvious discontinuous crack feature is a small pocket. Off this to very crimpy stuff above

From broken undercling, reach/slap the sloping lip, then over and up using the right arete

Start on footholds on left edge of front of boulder, traverse right, and top out up crack in the middle, all hands-free.

Fierce little ironstone crimps just left of the seam.

Between arete and corner eliminating the break and big pocket.

Up the seam using 20 cm corridor of rock

Between 'The Arete' and The Tourist Route, a thin wall above two pockets with a well worn edge. Don't stray offline.

High, thin, airy, scary.

Middle of the wall left of '4 - Corner Crack' on small crimps.

Traverse the block rightwards staying below the lip.

Starting at the base of the ramp, climb the wall without using the seam. Tricky.

Using the only good set of footholds to the left of the ramp use a single finger undercling and reach, reach, reach for an edge. It helps if you're tall.

Start with your right hand in the slot and move up via the slopey pocket just right of the layback crack to a higher slopey pocket.

The classic left-to-right traverse starting in the layback crack and going all the way to '2 - The Runnel'.
