The big rightwards facing orange corner at the left hand end of Cow Tracks cliff. Bridge up the smooth corner until you can reach left to a flake system. Climb this and step left onto the arete to finish. Rap off fixed gear.

Incredible three sided square cut chimney one pitch off the ground with exciting moves negotiating the roof exit. Climb Hang Onto Me to new DBB on side of large block. Clip into anchor and either climb the juggy overhung lip on the right or stem straight up the steep corner to establish in the base of chimney. Best to bring belay to here. Climb the three sided chimney on incredible friction rock with great gear up right side crack to exit left via friction stemming and microcam protection. Easily to top DBB. Incredibly unique climbing on immaculate rock. Stays in the shade till lunch.

Chimney to chimney along halfway ledge.

Just logging it cause the name amused my tiny brain.

Climb up onto the wobbly ledge then cruxy moves into short hand crack. Up past jugs to thin face and crack up top.

Steep airy face climbing on excellent rock. Starts at the leftwards leaning thin diagonal crack 15m right of Manu's Corner. The protection is better than it looks with small cams and wires. Step off the block onto the wall and move left to the corner. Move up to the steep diagonal crack and place the crux runners from good holds on the right wall. Go straight up the vertical line to the big ledge, sling a chicken head as a directinal and walk left to belay from new Double bolt belay on side of large block.

Strenuous crack climbing on excellent rock. Starts 15m right of Hang on to Me at a wide crack. Climb the steep wide crack until it closes down to a seam. Then layback up to a bolt and crank past it to jugs. Continue up the steep airy groove until it is possible to step onto the right face. Wander diagonally up rightwards to belay below a steep corner.

Classic hard crack and face climbing. Starts midway between Gizmo and Mustang Wanted. Up the steep line to a bolt. Desperate cranking takes you to a good ledge. Up the nice groove to finish at the tree.

Starts 15m left of Secrets Found. Boulder up the thin crack then follow the crack and face above to a rest below an overhanging hand crack. Up this using the strength of ten men and one puny man. Then finish easily to the mid-way ledge. Rap from the tree.

Really hot, pretty easy.

Start under the wide crack about 30m left of Personality-Free Zone. Off balance moves to gain wide crack. Climb desperately up the offwidth (bring large cams) then the overhanging jam crack above. Finally, take to face climbing to belay on ledge at base of large chimney. Rap off the fixed gear. The deep chimney above is sure to be exciting but has not been climbed.

Chimney above secrets found. Awesome offwidth climbing protectable using small gear in the crack on the right. Unfortunately after pulling over the lip above the offwidth there is multiple fridge sized rocks resting on loose rubble.

starts 6m right of Secrets Found. rap off the fig tree. anyone is welcome to install some lower-offs at the lower fig tree root if they feel inclined.

The huge corner system that bissects Cow Tracks. Much better than it looks. Take big gear.

1. 30m. 21. Climb easily up the vegetated line until you reach a body crack. Slither desperately up this and continue more easily to belay on a stack of boulders on the half way ledge. Led by Tony Barten.

2. 35m. 20. Up the short offwidth (crux) and pull up nervously over the protruding blocks, which are actually quite solid. The remainder of the pitch is a long chimney system involving excellent rock and protection. Led by Alex Cristino.

P1 (30m): Up broken and vegetated cracks into a chimney. P2 (20m): Continue up the thin crack. Hard face climbing on small gear. The moves go but it would be a difficult redpoint. P3 (15m): Climb through the roof then carefully to the top.

Starts at the very steep twin cracks. P1: Levitate up the steepness to find yourself on a beautiful face. This line takes the right finger crack up to the offwidth. Trad belay on ledge. P2: Continue up the crack over a spooky block and some trick moves then up onto easy face above.

Hard start past a bolt and then onto small ledge. Continue straight up the crack to the halfway ledge. Rap off tree.

P1: Aid up thin crack then left up the slab into the left facing corner with great climbing and gear. P2: Continue straight up with a steep move to gain the ledge and climb the right facing corner on small gear.

Start at the prominent orange streak bordered by two thin cracks about 60 metres right of Personality-Free Zone. Climb desperately up the steep thin hands crack until it ends at an overlap at 10 metres. Move left and crank steeply up the thin corner until the angle eases. Finish easily to ledge and belay at tree.

Start 5 meters left of Q. Ascend rightward leaning crack till it joins Q at natural belay. Has second pitch still to be done.

Extending Q up the natural line to top out the cliff via a spectacular traverse pitch.

1. (21) 30m Climb Q until overhanging chimney. Instead of bailing right, continue up chimney to awkward move establishing in short finger crack (crux). Continue through to belay from crack in back wall. Extending belay to top of finger crack helpful.

2. (18) 15m Climb up corner crack and body chimney above belay pulling onto slab with hand crack and continuing to belay from corner crack at rear wall.

3. (17) 15m Look right from belay in awe at incredible horizontal crack travelling towards dam. Plug in some gear and swing towards distant footer before embarking on a memorable journey with perfect jamBs and crimps all the while finding your feet. Belay from blocks at end of traverse on ledge.

Scramble up from ledge to large boulder at top of crack above 3rd pitch belay. Bring 7m of cord to back up boulder rappel down to pitch one belay anchor. 2 absails to reach ground.

This is the major left-facing orange corner system starting about 20 m right of The Living Dead, and is initialed 'Q'. Climb up the thin hand crack corner, which is harder and steeper than it looks, until it widens into an overhanging chimney. Avoid this by hand traversing right to a big ledge on the arete. Belay here. An inviting face crack provides an obvious second pitch. However, as daylight was fading, we traversed up right to the tree and rapped off.

The face crack above and right of Q.

Quite good. The rock is mostly excellent. About 20m right of Q is a major orange corner that arches over into an 6m roof. An ancient #1 Friend stuck in the roof provides a landmark. And no, you don’t climb the roof crack. Not at this grade anyway.

1. 25m. 18. Climb the technical corner until you are about 2m below the roof. Then traverse out left to the arête on good holds and mostly good gear. Once established out there, step boldly up to gain the roof and layback easily around to the left to a spectacular semi-hanging belay. (led: Joe Lynch)

2. 15m. 17. Straight up the corner, which is harder than it looks, to a belay at the huge tree. Rap off. (led: Alex Cristino)

Start on orange wall 20 meters right of Cherry Bomb at thin crack with bolt about 7m up. Desperately up to clip bolt, then continue desperation to pass bolt. Gain the shake out jam, then onto some fancy jamming before moving right at ledge to double bolt lower off. Watch the sting in the tail.
