The beautiful pocketed bulge. Squat start same as “Liminal” on the ideal rail and move up to pockets. Chill mantle out. FA: Jimmy Blackhall, May 2021 | 3m | Passchendaele State Forest | ||
V2/3 | ★ Brahe's Bubble
Originally a sit start problem on a low undercut(V4) (believed to have been ripped off sometime in late 2019/early 2020). This route is still a well worth doing stand start. Hands wide to start for a compression move to gain the bulge and up. Now more like V2/3. Careful of your right arm on the initial moves a fall back and right past the tree would be bad for you! FA: Peter Crane | 2m | Passchendaele State Forest | ||
V3 | ★★ Barbaric Barseghian
Right and left hand crimp feet on and jump to left sloping rail. FA: Matthew Cochrane | 4m | Passchendaele State Forest | ||

V3 | ★ Ma Ling Ling
In old guides this problem was a V6. With a medium sized section of rock removed near the beginning, the problem has changed. Start as for The Seamstress and at roughly 2/5th's height move right across the face for the rail at the top. FA: Peter Crane | 4m | Passchendaele State Forest | ||
V3 | ★ Baus
FA: Peter Crane | Passchendaele State Forest | |||

V3 | ★★★ Pucker Up

FFA: Alex Mougenot | Passchendaele State Forest | |||
V3 | ★★ Backwoods
The Boulder behind “Kamikazi”. Up thin and solid slab face. | Donnelly's Castle | |||
V3 | ★★ Lookout's lookout
An intricate slab problem starting on a good left foot, finger pad mono for the left and a slap with some dimples in it for you right. Delicate moves right and then ascend trending left to stay on the face as long as you can. Bailing early is tempting but detracts from the length of slab available to you!

Near the edge of the slab (two metres right of Summerbreeze) pull onto the wall just left of the shallow groove to a jug/plate. Sling this and up to a bolt. Left and up to step back right at the top of the groove to a second bolt. A reachy move right leads to a jug and sling. Back left and up to tree belay (well back).

V3 | ★★ To Be Fair
The rippled face- up and left on the same Boulder as Cyn’s Project. Stand start with high RH crimp and LH on lower good sidepull-crimp with average feet. To be fair, it’s easier to dyno to the lip!
