Grade Route Gear style Popularity
V12
Cairns Barron Gorge Split Rock Area
V12 Storm Chasers Low

Start on LH pinch and RH undercling, up through shouldery dihedral before finishing as for storm chasers.

The wobbly block recently came out, but the boulder will still go at a similar grade.

Boulder 3m
Cairns Barron Gorge The Floating World
V12 Ukiyo

Sit start matched on the flat jug. Move up and right through heel/toe trickery on slick river washed edges and small seams. All time.

Boulder 4m
V11
Cairns Barron Gorge Split Rock Area
V11 Super Princess Peach

Start matched on obvious flat hold. Tricky moves through slopey holds lead to tough move into the slot. Use small LH crimp to gain the big sloping rail, follow it left and up above questionable landing. Bush-bash to the top.

Currently unclimbable due to recent flooding. The landing needs rebuilding.

Boulder 6m
Cairns Barron Gorge The Boulder Field
V11 Amphibian

Start low on undercling, puzzle your way through the steep and finish as for Tadpole.

Boulder 6m
V10
Townsville Harvey’s Marbles The Inner Circle The Stack
V10 Globalisation Right

Sit-start just right of "Globalisation Left" on the low edge. One of Harvey's hardest problems. See the original guidebook for the starting holds.

FA: Nick Larsen, 2007

Boulder 4m
Cairns North Wangetti Slip Cliff Point
V10 Shadow Fight

Sit start on jug, move right through thin seam before doing a big move to arete. Hold the barn door and mosey to the top.

Boulder 8m
Cairns Barron Gorge Calmer Waters
V10 Lowdega

Start under roof to the right of the seam on an undercling and low left facing edge. Join the crack via a big lock off move and finish as for Bodega.

Cairns Barron Gorge Split Rock Area
V10 The Last Of Us

Squat start on slopey edge and pinch, head up and left to a tricky lip encounter.

Boulder 6m
V9/10
Townsville Harvey’s Marbles The Inner Circle The Lower Terrace
V9/10 Bug Piss Project

An outstanding hard line.

BoulderProject
V9
Townsville The Kitchen
V9 Dream catcher

Slightly over hanging face, start on the lowest point of obvious rail (slightly flexing be careful). Definitely use a pad on the slab for when climber is topping out.

FA: Glen Hayford, 15 Sep 2021

Boulder 5m
Townsville Magnetic Island Rocky Bay Left Side
V9 American Invasion #1

This is one of the original lines put up by Zimmerman. Original line used just the right layback seam, but would effectively make it an eliminate. the first move to the high layback puts you body in a position to use a compression move off of Reverie, then climbing both seams to the blank section. The Crux is from here to the top as originally described, But is considerably easier than the original grade of V9. Regardless, this is of equal quality to Reverie and is a must do. (Original description = Just to the R of "Highball #1" is a V9, with the crux at the top (start at the break and go up via lay offs to a thin section).)

FA: Matt Zimmerman

Boulder
Townsville Harvey’s Marbles The Three Brothers

V7 Stone Moves

FFA: Mike Maddox

Boulder
Townsville Harvey’s Marbles The Three Brothers
V7 Pie Face

The gently bulging face on the Middle Brother, the shortest of the three boulders. A highball on perfect granite. It starts with steep and powerful moves off a chunky, in-cut flake, followed by a series of vertical cranks on small but positive edges, which guard the crux mantle onto a slopey narrow rail at two-thirds height. Blankness and weirdness above the rail gets you to a thin seam just below the more amenable top-out. It's one of Harvey's aesthetic highball jewels.
