Routes in Northern Territory for selected grade

Heading up the short wall right of Mixed Emotions this is a steep climb that doesn't give you much rest, while there is good gear, finding and placing it will seep your strength away. Start up the right tending crack in the middle of the wall, after the crack continue up the blocky section to finish at the right hand end of the top of the wall. A harder direct finish awaits through the middle of the wall, which was simply too hard for this old fella on the day.

Stunning climb, a bolt or a large set of nuts (not the wired kind)and a small brain will see it led one day. Start on the right hand side of the front buttress, right of the obvious corner. Up the face trending right, then up the wall just left of Where Dick Goes Down.

Up to and into very obvious and memorable crackline through beautiful blank headwall to finish

Very cool, 2 cruxes and lots of good climbing in between. Great pro. Around the corner right of Supply line. Take thin crack in rooflet then up wall to ledge. Overhanging finish.

Around behind the spear bush to the right of utju kutju and body Jam- at the mouth of the cave, stem up the step side wall and slab until you get to jugs on the steep face. Gain ledge below a precarious looking chock stone roof. Go up through roof and bulge.

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

Starting point approximately 3m right of OAL. Slightly overhanging start then follow crack straight up to tree in top of crack, step right and finish straight up face. By all accounts… quite stiff at the grade!

Weakness 1m R of FV. Straight up ramp above to BB

R side of main cliff face. Climb starts 1m R of unused white FH. Climb face on the R of 2 FH, clipping them on the way. At chossy finger ledge head L and up past FH, and over bulge to top. DBB

Sustained L facing groove 5m R of ANH, 2m R of chossy weakness. Finish up short R leaning diagonal to prominent white gum.

This climb starts up the R leading diagaonal crack on the buttress to the R. Then straight up for 5m, then up and around RH arete to easy but poorly protected slab above. Now has bolted belay which serves this and 2 adjacent routes.

Start near a small tree in the middle of the cliff and follow the broken vertical crack for 3m, then make a rising rightward traverse following the thin crack

Up face then traverse left into crack (unprotected). Up crack until it runs out and then traverse right to DBB.

Nice moves. Start just R of orange rock at the L end of the south face. Up brown wall with some fear and trepidation to reach good edges. A bold lead due to its runout and potential ground plant finish

Ends at FHB. Good crack climbing. Ramp 5m R of WFA to L leading diagonal crack (next crack R of WFA).

A supurb line with some intimidating moves. Take plenty of small cams. Follows the main cracks 6m L of the corner (TGC). Towards the top trend left to the base of the orange corner. Have a rest and make exposed moves to pull through this. Belay immediately above at fixed slings.

Starting on platform at base of wall, climbing up the ramp to the obvious crack without using the boulder. Follow undercling to vertical fault line, go straight up from here using left side of face directly under the roof. Climb through the roof to finish.

A great face climb perfect for the grade. Starting a few metres left of Butterfly Lost, climb towards the small dish with slight overhang and then continue up the rib through another slight overhang (somewhat of a second crux) and just keep on going through easier climbing above. Protection thin with ground falls possible if falling from the top of the second overhang.

Start on right hand side of the wall, up easily to horizontal break and first piece of protection. Traverse left to prominent v shaped groove. Follow this up. A great if wandering climb, that requires careful attention when placing natural gear. Twin ropes could also make this easier

Poorly protected and pumps you hard. Left crack line

Left most climb, though obvious bulge and gain blank face above. Then move up and right to chains. (planned)

A nice varied crack in a fairly obvious position (I hope you find that position).

Named after the Ashton’s’ delicious lunch on the day of the FRA. The crack 2m right of Where Dick Goes Down.

Steep, tree roots currently encroaching on crack (2007)

Starting up on the ledge, follow the crack line up the center of the large blank wall until you pass the roof. Then traverse right 2m and top out with the next crack.

Further up the creek is an impressive orange wall with a line of 5 fixed hangers up the middle of it. Big moves on bug holds, can be pumpy if you don`t find the rests.... Beware the caves!

Up pillar on right of cliff, at top step across onto face and follow the right side finger crack through the roof to belay off fig tree.

An attractive line, climbed two days after a 70's party to end all 70's parties. The obvious crack R of Dabadoo. Up scoop on intricate jugs, then up where line eases slightly. Finish up wall near bush on some fantastic (but dubious) metallic coated jugs.

Very short, poorly protected and gymnastic mini route at the far right end of the wall. Loose rock at top, not really worth doing.

About 6m R of Clown's corner, this tackles the overhang that leads to the prominent grey slabby wall. Very pumpy start with exciting move onto main wall. Easier but poorly protected finish up slabby wall past mantelshelf.

Twisted and seemingly featureless slab has tricky start. Easily recognizable by looking for white quartz veins on slab, on left side of valley. 50m right of Squirrel Slab. Very fun climb with excellent anchor pro at top.

Climb is all trad, micro cams recommended. Three bolts exist at the top of gully on right side. Requires ring or mallions to run rope through for descending. Potential for arete climb to right and short overhung face climb to left.

Start as for AC then straight up the clean face pst BR and FH to chains

Start is the thin Crack 10m R of Rations. Crux is getting off the ground, followed by easier climbing to top. Stay Right of Fig Tree. Aptly named after a missing engagement ring.

One of the absolute best lines in all of Central Australia, packing in a little bit of everything. Start just around the corner from Sickle at thin, slabby crack. Up this delicately before jugging through small roof. Step L, place bomber cam, take a deep breath and crank through overhang into fist crack leading to the large belay ledge. Rap off chains 3m to the left

Up the crack near the Ararat and around the tree through the roof. Good moves down low.

Obvious pencil thin crack up to a small corner. Two carrots on top.

Straight up the central triangle block. Continue up keeping right of the groove to around 18m to the below the spear bush (very run out). Step around the block and continue up into the off-width crack. Some good solid crimps and footers on the right-hand side- everything on the left is a trap.

Start near at base near water. Climb up to the crack with tree root in it. Aim or top of pillar. Climb face to get to very top.

Crux is 18 is of the Climb is 14

Up face 3m left of BS. Over bulge to join finish crack of BS for final 2m. Not enough pro for trad (trad anchor at top)

Obvious crack on orange wall on river left at the top of 8th gorge.

Start on a big ledge 4m out of the water. Scramble onto ledge then straight up slab to stepping stones (or easy scramble around left). Up crack to top.

Descend off downstream side, short scramble.

Up face and twin crack system left of BB. Start out of the water.

Up layback flake, traverse left and pull through roof at crack weakness, up to chains. (planned)

This climb has a bit of everything and feels like it is a bit out of sequence. Doesn't flow and forces reposition before continuing in a few places.

Short and pumpy. Start 5m left of Utju Kutju, around the arete. Lean and lay back up the angled crack. Solid most of the way up.

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

Start easily through choss to base of slab with FH over lip. Pull onto face and follow left line of RB's. Tenous and off balance crux move to large flake. Easily up to left side of overhang, traverse right to finish. 2RBB

Start up leaning crack before moving onto face. Small tricam in pocket or blue master cam in slot can be used before first bolt. Up past two bolts. A purple C4 can be used before topping out. Rap off by anchoring rope to belayer on back side of pinacle.

Carpark facing wall. Nice route on starting on reddish rock, staying away from left hand arête. Up line of weakness move slightly to the right then left across face through mono to large flake. Finish up right side of blade. 3BR, 2BB

Starts as for Death Adder, follow right hand arête of this pinnacle. Very balancy moves through middle then easy finish on slightly softer rock. 3BR, 2BB.

Great alt start to Vegemite, 3 carrots one fh.

Old top rope problem. Kelly Hansen holds the honor of having first top rope ascent of this little beastie.Up crack to lip then crimp hard onto very thin face. Tenuous and balancy moves under right leaning Flake to thank f*#K jug. 2BR, 3BB.

Takes the line immediately left of the crack/weakness. 4 bolts to same anchor as Ruby Gap 5. Eases off to grade 14 after 3rd bolt.

nice route, mixed pro

Use the left feature and top out

The landing is a little dangerous. Can set a top rope easy.

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

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