Routes in Darling Downs for selected grade

Delicate and cybery. Zigzag up, keeping to the face.

Engrossing little edges. A contrived line, situated alongside Diamond Dave. Just keep right of the diamond shape in the cracks and head directly up the tiny edges.

There is now a line of bolts 4 m left of Nicarete which is probably this climb. About 8 ring bolts, also need a few pieces of gear unless you are very brave.

Up from tree to the big orange corner, up to the right and on to the sharp arete, up to top out. 'Awesome arete' in middle of climb, definitely worth doing. One of the classics of the cliff.

Start: At big tree in middle of start ledge

Not good fun. Start at roof-capped gully. Climb up gully to roof and jam out L side (ouch!) onto face, up and R of bush to RB, then up R to crack to top.

Starting about 10m L of Mythologica at the big orange corner below the big roof (Pendulus). Climbs up the corner and face on good rock with just enough protection (some tricky slinging) to the ledge. Pendulus’ RB station 4m L on ledge.

Lovely climbing. See topo 4. Start at short corner a couple of metres R of M.

A very nice cruisy route taking in some lovely scenery. Unfortunately it has a dyno start which may be tricky for some. Starts at the L-end of the rope traverse. Lean out to clip RB, then dyno up and hand traverse R to pull onto easy ground (#1 SLCD). Up the slick slab (RB and big wire) to ledge (RB). Mantle, then an interesting step over the void gives a break (big SLCD) and then much easier climbing to the top.

Starts at 'ground level' in the alcove directly below the fixed rope traverse Two bolts to rap station.

Yet another finish for SITC. Climb the start of SITC to big ledge at the base of the orange liftshaft. Strenuously bridge up the shaft to rest beneath the roof. Swing R and climb the hand crack to the top.

3m R. Short face climbing up a cracked and pocketed wall on natural gear that can be a bit fiddly to place. Tricky start to first horizontal break. Place #1 SLCD and power through on crimps and small edges to good pockets and a small wire. Now it's easy face climbing on SLCD’s and small wires to the top. Double RB station.

Follow the easiest route up the far left of the tower. You can anchor off the top of the tower.

Start left of GNP. Fantastic holds if you can find them in the crowd. A little heady to top out
