Routes in Central Australia

Starts 1m R of SM at large scar on rock. Delicate moves past 2 BR, horizontal seam, then another BR. Belay as for SM

Link up. Up first 2 bolts of S, traverse L on good edges just under small rooflet and finish as for OtSoD

Small holds on steep, flakey rock. Start 3m left of the 3 body problem. Thrutchy moves from the get-go, veering slightly right with the crimpy crease to the challenging overhung section.. where to from here??

For those who want to wuss out of the crux on "*1/4 On-Sight 29?" stay left up the crack.

same start as Eel Head left, but this time go straight up, veering R slightly on good but slippery holds. top out

Mixed climb. 2 bolts to start, then good wires/cams. Finish off Rt to lower off anchor at top of Diagenesis.

Look for the 'V' formation. Head towards it and then keep going more or less directly up.

The easier of Paul's new sport climbs, just L of Shades of Blue

Left most area on the trilogy slab, good crimps up keeping left of the side wall

Starts in a steep corner with a carrot, up over a bulge with limited natural protection before following the next three carrots to a rap chain. Beware the potential ground fall from 1st to 2nd bolt. A nice line with some loose rock. A great big #6 cam helps protect the crux, while it is advisable to back up the carrots where possible as they are old and stick out a fair way

Runout start can be avoided by starting up GWTMT and traversing into line (same grade). Originally graded 19, easily worth an extra grade for the top section alone.

Stand start on jugs of Sickle, then traverse R on ledges to tricky mantle up through big detached flake (beware loose block on top) and exit R under tree up slab

Starts below a scoop just right of flake block, thin moves.Up to and through the scoop, exiting left.

The route is not on the main Window Wall but starts a few metres to the left of it. Look for the small pine at the top...the route is more or less directly up. Slightly easier and more crumbly finish if you go right....slightly harder but more protectable if you finish trending left.

Mixed climb. 2 bolts, then good wire/cam x 2. Shares same finish with Diagenesis. Finish at lower off anchor for Diagenesis.

Centre line on the trilogy slab. Rejoins with "And Another Thing" at the top overhang.

A real doozy of a crux highlights this incredible splitter crack up the middle of the wall. Start in large scoop and crank through low crux before the crack relents to easier climbing. Add a grade or three if you don't know how to jam

Fingery start up the right trending flake with adequate feet to the first ledge, then straight up with more fun up a crack with large triangular flake on the right. Continue until out. Plenty of good spots for placing gear and a good boulder above if you'd prefer to top rope.

Up the left trending crack near the centre of Window Wall and closest to the large pine tree.

The direct approach to the hell-squad boulder thing. Start as for Gibreel's Spawn and go straight up and slightly right of the arete. Rough sharp holds.

Far end of the trilogy slab area. Tricky start either bridging on the back wall or leaning over from the shallow crack. Easy work up the cracked ramp after. Stop at the top of the ramp or traverse to join with other routes for the overhang.

The best line on the cliff. Start in left facing corner 6 metres right of DoV. Laybacks and jams with good gear lead to interesting mantle finish (beware loose block). After this continue for another few metres before a small traverse left to ring bolts. Can be done with a single rack but an extra #3 camalot wouldn't go astray.

Early crux will have you leaning back. Protect it well as it looks easier than it actually is. Fine once you've got the sequence worked out but until then can make you feel like a moron. Much easier and enjoyable climbing once beyond the crux.

This and the following five climbs are on Carrot Wall, the prominent wall R of the waterhole. Diagonally L up ramp to small ledge. Straight up corner past small dead bush at half height. Continue up crack to top

The prominent crack on the slab right of Inner Peace. A great beginners lead with continuos pro BUT with the occasional large block that will test your nerve...helmets on! If you passed the white gum tree, you can set up a nice anchor! Mind you, no chain on top!

The left most prominent crack on Window Wall that trends left.

Climb the line of jumbled blocks 2 metres R of TM to a single FH, continue past 2 carrots. Beware a loose rock or two, especially toward the top

A great trad route for beginners with plenty of options for placing gear and good rests between nicely exposed moves.

formidable roof climb, will be a quality testpiece when it goes. Start deep in the entrance cave and slap through intricate moves to gain lip. Top out on slippery, sloping crimps over a bad landing.

Sitting on rock as for Warmup, up left to lip then traverse lip left to fist crack.

Up two ledges then the arete past carrots and FH's to a rap chain.
