Routes in Northern Territory for selected grade

Novelty corner problem. Must sit start in kneebar undercut, then up corner to top

Start on big undercling jug deep in cave, follow good holds straight out and up through thrutchy chimney

Starting at the base of the highest point in the cliff, head up as for Pete's Ridge, but feel free to vear left onto the friendlier white smear area.

Start as for Desertorum but stick to the off-width/bridge crack. Skirt around to the right when you reach the roof, or add a few grades to go through the roof.

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

Steep fractured crack up to the roof. Start 3m right of the Number 1 Crack. Fun moves to get to the top, good variation and exposed finish.

A fantastic climb with everything you need: nice sequences, exposure and enough protection to keep you happy. Climb face to left trending crack, which you follow to the top.

Great sustained crack. 3m right of BL. Savour the music of the rock halfway up. Shares bolted chain anchor with BL

This climb takes wider crack 2m R of Kirsty's Unnamed climb, and traverses into the main line after 5m

The obvious LH crack. Up slanting crack and past bulge to top.

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

This is the popular black slab to the R of the TEG. When the waterhole is high, this climb may be inaccessible. Otherwise a small sandbar leads to the base. Straight up middle of slab (tricky start). Poor pro, but can be toproped by climbing up the easy arete around the corner.

Nice climbing with bomber protection up major corner 7m R of the major chimney of TLP. Start 5m L of large pine conifer at nice curving flakes.

1. 30m Up flakes, over small roof on R, and up into easy corner which is followed to roof and belay.

2. 15m Traverse R below roof (poor pro) till you can breach roof and climb the layback slab above. For an easier climb, keep traversing R below roof, then finish up corner (12).

Two variants exist, and both pull out on to the face L of the major corner. Climb CV's crack to the start of the red slab and corner, pull out onto face and up to ledge.

This route follows the major crack and left facing corner in the cliff that is prominent from both the drive into Simpson's Gap as well as from Hat Hill Saddle on the Larapinta Trail. A sustained climb with a worthwhile crux and incredible view from the top. It is possible to downclimb once ascended by heading to the West about 50m and then down the east trending ramp. Rap off the pine tree at the top at your own risk (how deep are those roots?) if you have an 80 metre rope.

Improbable looking line for the grade. Start 4m L of the obvious corner (TU). Climb up to and surmount the roof and continue to ledge, where the climbing eases a little.

The prominent crack to the right of Window Wall that initially trends left and then straightens up. A sustained route discovered at the end of a chilly morning's climbing that is well worth an ascent. If leading, trend to R crack at 2/3 high for more solid holds and gear.

As named, a delightful ending to LWC by taking a few steps left once on the final ledge of LWC and then up through the rightward trending scoop

A couple of metres right of TV and very worthwhile with a thoughtful start to gain the first ledge. Pick your line over the small roof and continue for an enjoyable sustained climb.

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.

More of a short Boulder Problem

The easiest way up the cliff.

1. 10, 50m - Easy vertical scramble on clean black bulges

2. 6, 50m - Horizontal traverse to the right until over the sandy beach. Belay in small cave below dark buttress

3. 16, 35m - Up the RHS of the dark buttress then back to its centre, hand jam cracks (overhanging the beach) then into polished but positive slab climbing. Belay in corner with small wires.

4. 17, 35m - Up and right on horizontal breaks, some challenging climbing, then continue upwards through bugles with key hand jam.

5. 12, 20m - easy climbing up polished rock

6. 12, 20m - as for 5

7. 12, 20m - Barely a pitch, one hard move at the start with leg breaker potential (without belay) then easy scrambling out to the top.

Alternative finish could be done from start of P6 on the bold tower out left, looks good, and no harder than 19-20.

Far better and cleaner than it looks, great pro, great moves with no choss. Due to the wandering route half rope are almost essential.

Pitch 1: Start at base of corner crack/chimney and pull through the overhang, following the crack up past the tree and second small roof to a small belay ledge. The crux is harder than 17, around a 19.

Pitch 2: Continue straight up through into to chimney roof, then left out onto the face following the roof till you can top out.

Looks like a great line, Ist assensionists report it is dangerously loose in places

Start hanging on jugs below bulge. Pull up over bulge then continue up right line, not around arete.

Right to left along section of horizontal breaks. Stay low and follow the holds.

Start halfway up wall opposite Smitt Rock on river right. Ascend the series of heavily vegetated slopey bulges.

This climb begins directly above the rightmost point of gently sloping ledge/ramp.

Up slab, hard move over bulge at 4m. Up thin cracks through middle of black slab.

At orange rock where the route becomes vertical stem beside big block on left. Follow holds to top.

• Vegetated slab
• Chossy top

Starting at the end of the overhung red face, stepping left at 6m to gain arete. Exciting and exposed climbing.

Possibly the most underclimbed, and underrated climb hereabouts, this climb starts at the far end of th second pool near a large paperbark tree. Quirky start leads to great climbing up double crack system with delicate moves at half height. Finish up v shaped corner.

Spectacular and exposed! Start at the tree above the corner climb mentioned above. Follow the horizontal crack out to above the climb in the centre of wall of the second pool (mentioned below). Down climb to the large ledge. Belay from here. Escape is to toss a weighted chalk bag across the pool, down climb to a safe height to jump into the pool.

Takes the obvious lower left arcing crack to ledge then up through the crack in the roof. Some delicate edging, fiddly protection and solid underclinging here.

LH crack in the Enclosure wall. Scary unprotected start! Follow the LH crack up to the stance below the roof, traverse left onto the face and up through the ‘V’ crack in the roof. Definitely one of the best routes here.

Essentially a variant route of OAL , starting similarly but finishes up the right hand arête.

Start on obvious platform and climb up crack and around roof to tree belay. 60m rope is just long enough for the repel down.

Up Left Arete

Up the face of the pinnacle on small cams to begin with (17?) or around the back (14?). This is a fun climb because once on top of the pinnacle you jump across to the main wall and top out that way.

Sounds like a sea of whingeing to me, it is the crack with some chockstones in it. Looks like fine rock, if a little unprotected at the start.

Start as for SAS and pull though roof early to go up face/corner to right of pinnacle.

Note: small cams

3m left of 'Black Betty'

A couple of harder moves at the second and fifth bolt due to smallish footholds, the rest steady and enjoyable. Can be a bit sandy as all routes on this wall.

Perhaps Kiwi’s finest moment at Hayes Creek. Follows shallow seam up beautiful creamy coloured slab 30m left of MAC. Past small roof and up to single BR at about halfway. Thin and balancy moves on crimps to ledge level, then haul those jugs to glory. A Really satisfying climb, which curiously has very few Green ants (unlike some other climbs). Obvious descent gully to the left. 1BR

Start in frequently sandy “V” shaped corner at base. Go straight up and and stay on face through some thinner stuff to reachy and committed move at the top. Quite a satififying, if underrated climb.

Start up the line of weakness on the back wall of the dark chimney to the right of Big Spender. Tough moves to small ledge above chimney. Finish up obvious v shaped corner. Deduct a grade if you stem in the chimney

Variant pirst pitch on 2 Wraps. Up overhanging crack.

Start from the low platform

I liked it.... others don't, could be hard for shorter folk

Climb chimney with prominent overhung crack on right hand side behind Gnomes Roam. Exit from chimney through bulge.

Stiff at 16, challenging at 17. Great pro.

The obvious crack line through the roof and up the face on the RHS of the face of the buttress (just left around the corner from VO) just left of the arête.

Directly on the other side of the pinnacle from Harvey Crumpet is a fine line that takes a shallow right facing seam. This climb is easily identified by wildly undercut area just to the right. Follow the seam up onto the slabby wall then delicately up

Another runout finish.

Just to the right of Guten Arven is an obvious crack leaning slightly left. Climb up past 1CB to gain crack, crack to ledge and finish up small hanging corner.

Carrots and Rings on top

Contrived and very spasely protected line between Habib and sleek. Exists reallyonly to run the shop and cook the Pizzas.

Beautiful big right facing crack that eats big SLCDs. Start on block (or with a jump!) and head right using strange move onto pedestal where crack starts to thin. Up from there.

A great route, which could be greater without the rope drag. Climb UN2 lo ledge, gain right leaning arête, and pull right onto front face of the pinnacle using a prominent horizontal break. Delicate move right and up to top of pillar 4 BR, 2BB A harder companion route exists traversing this same pinnacle left-right graded approximately 19. The front overhanging face of this pinnacle has been the scene of much frantic top roping

Dangerous route, Rap in off tree to bottom - Standing atop Lyell ledge you find a gnarled tree with a boulder leaning against it. below this is excellent overhung face climbing. To the right of that on the corner of the face is this interesting, scary and ultimately trundled route. A couple more climbs might clean it up. Be very sure about your gear.

RIP TREE 1/8/21 New Tree growing as at 23/5/23

You will be sadly missed but your memories will live on through all that people that you saved.

Start easily up through choss to base of slab with a FH over lip. Then straight up on small but adequate holds to FH on right. Tricky and technical moves onto upper face, squeeze underneath tree without using it and finish in small alcove. Chain lower off.

Start as for 'The Bulge', then follow crack to left. Possibly one of the most underclimbed and under-rated climbs here. No pro at top traverse right to anchors for the bulge.

Start on Boulder in corner and traverse along horizontal crack until nearing the Arete. Finish as per Cherax Destructor Direct.

Start on small platform under tree, head up face without using the pillar.

Starting on platform at base of wall, climbing up the ramp to the obvious crack without using the boulder. Follow crack to right side of face and climb directly up without using the Arete.

As for "Soft shell" but go over the boulder instead of around.

Up the flared crack in the center of the front face. Using the upper level crack to climb right of the boulder under the roof. Once at roof traverse left over boulder and top out.

Good for climbers starting on slightly inclined climbs boasting juggy holds. Crux is a dyno either up or left of the upside down tear drop.

Commit to the start- Pull up onto the slab 2 meters right of the start for Utju Kutju. Continue up the fine slab to the stance before continuing on body Jam. Trust your feet.. maybe
