13 Something To Think About

Start ~5m right of ITOSE, at the first possible belay stance of the crag near a small tree. Slab moves are followed by easier terrain and a large flake just to the right. A couple of harder moves lead to a crack that looks better than it is. Up to a stance below the bulge. Once past the bulge run it out raversing left to the anchor of ITOS. Second to clean and rap. Tricky nuts comprise most of the gear on this one.

15 Circumstantial Evidence

Starts 2m left of The Lady with the Handbag. This route climbs under the tree rather than over it. Climb up on some delicate holds with no pro for the first 5 meters or so (crux) before reaching some nicely featured rock with better holds. Duck under the tree (sling the tree if you dare!), then continue up much more easily following the obvious groove/crack which provides mostly adequate gear placements. A few meters before reaching the overhangs, step right to traverse several meters across to the bolted anchors of Barracuda.

About 1m left of Mistaken Identity: thin crack or weakness in the rock. Up this, with no gear, to top, then traverse 2m right to rap anchors on MI. The original ascentist graded it at 10. I would take that with a grain of salt, especially given that there's no gear or protection on it. Bold Climbing.

From the first ledge , stay on the left. Used 3 bolts , 1 micro nuts , 2 friends n2 After a nice slab continue on easy ground to the anchor point. The route continue another 45 mts towards a small patch of trees. At 35 mts there is a ring bolt for a quick escape From the tree we have explored 2 way to the top and both required good scrambling up and exposed way down.

Pitch 1- as for Jony Bynch.

Pitch 2- Walk left on ledge past small-scooped 4m face that could be added into the climb, we walked unroped up to huge tree on top of the scoop.

Pitch 3- Right facing corner up fun slab that goes diagonally right. Set belay on top of slab.

Pitch 4- Head diagonally left on crack with awkward but decent gear at the start. Once you arrive at the top of the diagonal crack there is a nice vertical crack section for 5m. Set belay in solid rock at top of this crack, not heaps to choose from but it is there.

Pitch 5- Head right into funky super exposed territory up thin vertical crack (careful placements in here with extenders) traverse right past bomber horn into some solid cam placements. Saddle up for the last move out.

Approach: This route tops out the prominent knob on the Western shoulder of Beerwah below the summit. Can be accessed via a number of different hiking routes. First ascent was done as a tasty addition to The Martian. After Olympus mons (pitch 10 of the Martian) scramble approximately 50 m up the exit gulley towards the western shoulder, until you begin to pass the base of the knob and it's south west facing wall, 15m to the right of the exit track.

Description: Climb starts at the vertical crack, just left of center of the wall (avoiding the overhung lips to the right) Crack 15m before stepping right and up onto sustained slab with left-facing corner.

18 Into the Wild

Mega four to five pitch multi up a king line in the middle of the Mount Edwards East face. Will be awesome with more traffic. Features one of the best pure splitter hand corner cracks around! Excellent rock quality other than some blocks that would require trundling and some thin pieces of rock. Half ropes recommended if combining pitches 2 & 3. Single rack to #4 camalot, recommended double cams + hexes if combining pitches 2 & 3.

Start approx' located at: (-28.014207, 152.545096)

  1. 35m Start at the base of the mildly vegetated corner featuring a hand crack to the small tree to start. Some truly awesome moves involving crack and chimneying. Belay on large ledge with tree to sit on, belay in cracks.

  2. 20m Up the corner crack with wobbly blocks on the inside of the crack. Up this for 5 - 8m then move left up ramp and push behind and past the small tree. Up the splitter corner crack to a stance with cave on the left. Cam belay in crack or combine with the third pitch for a mega line.

  3. 30m A 3 star pitch on it's own. Climb past dead vegetation in crack (to be removed). Take a deep breath and punch through the relentless corner crack to a rest in a cave at 3/4 height. Continue up the crack to the roof. (There is a large somewhat secure but hollow block at this roof, be cautious of placing gear between it and the wall, would be good to get trundled at some point). Move out left onto the face and hanging belay in cracks or punch upward to the large tree.

  4. 25m Push upwards from the tree and up vegetated chimneys, towards the right generally and belay on large ledge/wherever possible.

An adventurous route through unique and interesting terrain. Gets a star for the standout position of the line but loses some for rock quality. Start from the spooky ledge & climb inside the arching crack, the Belly of the Beast.

  1. 20m (13) Climb up to the base of a arching crack and chimney up into the cave past a cluster of bail tat. Belay in cave near purple sling.

Line starts 50m up the wall and is a steep scramble to get to. Follows big obvious ramp trending right to left finishing at the shadforth spring waterfall proper. This route is very straight forward and would make a great access route. A fall off the ramp though could be troublesome as this will leave hanging in space.

P1 start at the obvious belay tree (jutting out 90 from the bottom of the fault). Follow ramp for 50m to ledge on left for belay station. Grade 5.

P2 Ascend ramp for 20m using crack for protection. When it turns to choss traverse out left onto face for 10m (potentially a good place for a second belay station to address drag and rope length) then up and through the remaining face to the top.

The obvious king line 1.5km south of Shadforth Sspring on the north facing wall. The line is on the face next to the right facing corner. Remains in the shade for the entire morning while the rest of the wall is sunlit. The start of the route was originally attempted in 1993 but the party bailed off a nut at 15m.

P1 Starting at the bottom of the slab climb the face using the crack for protection. Great thin climbing on toes with opportunities to climb around “cruxes”, finish at left hand ledge with trees 55m, grade 16. P2 start out trending right from ledge to avoid climbing over belayers. Ascend the ramp with more sustained slab until the route heads right, small high foot and traverse right onto stack before continuing up the route for the full 60m.

Staying to the crack is recommended. Pro is sparse on the face and should be capitalised when they appear. Initially climbed on twin 60m ropes, and paid for in blood, cut ropes and lost pair of TC pros. The climbing is fantastic and in a range to enjoyed by any climber in the future.

40m (-) - Bush bash up through scrub heading right before a small 3m scramble off the the left leads to the base of an awesome chimney with questionable rock quality.

30m (13) - A surprisingly great finish to the climb! Despite the poor rock quality at the base, this pitch has solid gear with a small crack running up the back of the chimney.

About 20m right of Mr. Busy Pillar, just as the cliff-base starts to descend (towards the original start of the Alpine Route/NW Track, which is ~40m away), you can scramble up through several ledges and bushes at grade 1 or 2 to reach a large ledge system. Bushwalkers have placed tape and a track is starting to form.

Follow a track along the ledge system southwards, exposed in a couple of places, to join-up with the Alpine Route. At the junction, this alternate track is more prominent than the original Alpine Route / NW Track.

Follow the Alpine Route up to the Tourist Track.

This route is an easy solo down-climb too.

4 Chossy McChossface (RHV)

The right hand variant, going straight up. This is far more risky as a scramble and just generally a less than ideal way to get up to the upper section of the crag, as there's a lot of loose gravel and rock that you can and likely will kick down towards your belayer. They can either belay from anchors at top of Just Add Water, or from in the boulders underneath the overhang. At the top of the gully you'll find the belay bolt for the Mariana Trench at about chest height. Belaying from here is not ideal, a better option is to use a draw/biner to help redirect the rope and keep it up and away from the loose rock, so that you can belay from tree or gear to the left near base of Sea Monkey's Uncle.

Trad 20m Mt Ninderry
2 Chossy McChossface (LHV)

The airy scramble that will get you to the DBB at the base of Boaty McBoatface if you've just climbed Just Add Water or are at the overhung climbs with fixed ropes. Nuts etc optional as if you climb it right the rope and trees will protect any unexpected falls. Though you might like to sling the trees for comfort, but please minimise damage to them. This is the better option than the right hand variant as there's less/zero chance of hailing rocks onto your belayer, and you wind up at the DBB for Boaty.

  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.

20 The General

This climb starts off on the big vegetated ledge after climbing the first pitch of DIVINE COMEDY. We found the rock quality to be better this way and it finishes up a unique water runnel. The best time to climb on the south side is from April until August as it has all day shade. Because of the all day shade allow for significant drying times after rain.

The name for this climb is after an experience we had upon our FA attempt. We were walking around to the south side and almost at waynes world when 2 hikers appeared from the bush. "Is this the way to the general " they asked. We all look at each other puzzled " Do you mean the tourist track " I ask. "yeah you know, the general way up " they reply. We joked about it the rest of the day and the name stuck.

PITCH 1 Grade 19, 15m. From the pitch 1 anchors of DIVINE COMEDY start traversing right around arete following fixed hangers. Good to use an extender on bolt just around arete to stop rope damage if falling.

PITCH 2 Grade 18, 30m. From DBB climb up through chimney to ledge then follow flake feature up to DBB.

PITCH 3 Grade 20 From DBB climb straight up keeping the fixed hangers on your left until you reach water runnel feature in which you climb through the middle.

From the top of Pitch 3 you can scramble up to a vegetated area and go off rope. From here you can either follow the goat track left and continue on with DIVINE COMEDY or keep going left to meet up with the tourist track.

14 Faith - Variant Finish

Start: diagonally up and to the left of the start of the Caves Route at a small flat ledge at the bottom of a series of sloping ribs, about 18m down from the apex. Marked "F". This is an exposed and poorly protected route.

This is the original 1955 description. 70yrs on, trees may have disappeared and new ones grown. Additionally; there's been significant rock fall in this area, so route finding may well be challenging.

  1. 29m 13 Diagonally upwards to the right across the sloping ribs and then up onto a small ledge on the crest of an obvious nose. Slightly back to the left on downward sloping ledges to the base of a small, loose wall. Up this wall to a small Ironwood tree runner (? if still there?). Continue up the wall and then out to the right onto lightly vegetated shelf running up to the left. Ironwood tree belay (if still there?) at the left hand edge of shelf.

  2. 17m 12 Directly up behind tree and into the obvious groove above. Up the groove/crack in the corner and out onto the left hand wall. Straight up over perched block to a small stance behind it. (Originally a piton belay.)

  3. 12m 11 From stance, climb straight up small wall to left of crack and then ascend diagonally left over small rib. A traverse leads to the left over a series of sloping ledges for 9m to two wide, flat ledges in the middle of the face & belay. (originally a piton belay.)

  4. 17m 14 Straight up the wall above for 4m, and then a delicate traverse to the left leads to the wide crevice in the corner (Patience Crack p2 belay). Step across the gap and then up to prominent shelf on the far wall & Ironwood tree belay (? if still there?)

  5. 32m 13 Climb the 3m wall behind the ledge. Ascend diagonally up & to the right for 4m on the leftside of crevice/crack, cross over the crack, then ascend on small holds & ledges immediately to the right of the crack (to right of overhang). Straight up trending right. Up front of nose until level with large Ironwood tree (?) in gully to the left of nose.

From here, exit up & right, across vegetated ledges above Carborundum Chimney to access the Caves Route below Trojan.
