2m L of AFBPS. Corner, chimney, wiggle around the roof. Nice.

Climb the wall 2m L of Tas. Penetrate a weakness at the overhang to finish in a thin crack.

The shallow corner and crack 3m L of Moonlet to a bushy ledge at 12m. Finish up the L face.

Up the vague crackline 2m L of SOL, passing just L of the roof at 4m, to a triangular summit block

Up the broken crackline 1m L of the chimney, passing R of a V-shaped roof, to finish on the face just R of the arête. Use the block on the R for a cam placement only, or ignore it completely and place an RP a little higher (Michael Hartman and Colin Reece may have climbed a route near here in 1997).

Face between arete L of TRDNEIAL and the chimney.

10m L of KTBATHWD. Climb through the roof, place a cam, move up, place another, then layback up and L to the arête. Grab a jug and run it out to to the top.

9m L of Re- entry. The arête between the black chimney and the weathered scoop, tending R at the top.

Easy access route. Scramble the joint crack come chimney. There is a bushy ledge 5m below the top.

L of LTUAE. Fun with fists. Take two or three #4 cams. If not, two 10cm tubes and some RPs.

7m L of OB, around the arête. Sensational climbing. Diagonal crack and flake to a ledge then the thin crack.

The corner.

A mixture of mandatory jamming and face climbing on lovely red rock.

Takes the obvious right-leaning crackline behind the tree stump, near the left-hand end of Red Dwarf wall.

Climb the crack, then climb straight to the gaps between the blocks at the top. Same finish as Echo Base.

Starts directly in front of the big block at the base of the wall, 2m R of Armstrong's obvious crackline. Follow the left leaning line, finishing out through the slot at the top.

Direct line 2m L of Red Dwarf, just R of center of red wall. Finish L of block.

Direct line on red wall 3m L of EOTH. Finish to the L of the summit block.

The fourth, wider crack.

The third crack, straight and clean.

The second crack. Steep for 5m then easier.

The corner 4m L of GS, then around the roof formed by the 'magic' perched block. Continue up the crack.

Begin as for GS, but continue through the overhang. Step L around a suspicious boulder and finish up the crack.

Up the crack L of the arête for 3m, then around the arête and climb the face near the thin crack. Hard to place wires and cams. Double ropes.

The arête with one brief detour onto the R face. Two small loose blocks at half height.

Takes the superb wall L of BM. Place nuts as side runners at 5m. Begin in a niche at ground level and head straight up to the crux. Finish in the crack.

The big corner.

Straight up the clean finger crack 2m R of the big corner.

Located in Flinders Ranges National Park.

A plumb line incorporating the corner of ANAT.

Begin 3m L of WDB. Ledge, corner, ledge, jamb crack.

Up the small corner 1m L of LM, then through a small overhang to an easy angled crack.

Start 2m L of SO. R onto wall, then attack the overhang at the convenient crack. Saunter on.

Begin 3m L of the arête. Up for 3m, then R to a desperate weakness leading to a ledge. Wander over the back and climb a relatively easy corner.

The L crack on the scrappy wall L of the debris.

The wall 2m L of Jupiter to a ledge at 4m. Ignore the (surprisingly tricky) steps on the L and continue up the crack. Small wires and cams.

An offwidth struggle 3m L of Artemis. Big cams, tubes to 15cm.

Fist crack and wider 4m L of Kanyaka. Big hexes, #4 cams, tubes to 15cm.

The clean corner crack 2m L of FL.

The hand crack 7m L of the shattered flake. Through the bulge and on.

The corner/chimney, the R wall of which is the 10m-high shattered flake. Finish straight up.

The chimney 15m L of MS. Tubes protect the first 12m. Some loose rock.

The chimney 2m L of GCTMT.

The finger crack L of LT. Through a bulge then on to easier ground past a bush.

Begin 8m L of LO and 4m R of GCTMT. A bulgy start leads to a short R facing corner and a rest on a ledge.

At R end of crag. Up to roof at 5m, move L with difficulty, weave up interesting wall.

The boulder 15m R of the R end of Moonlight Buttress.

The Dark Side faces south-east, so is great for a hot summer's day, but can get very cold in winter. There is a variety of single-pitch climbing on reasonably compact orange quartzite.

There are no known access issues, but the area is relatively untouched, so treat it with respect. Try and avoid damaging vegetation, and set up an abseil after the first climb, to avoid trampling vegetation on top of the cliff.

This is the first buttress you reach when you go around the corner from Moonlight Buttress.

Climbs the crack in the middle of the wall. Up the blocky cracks to a ledge at 5m. Launch up the thin crack and left to a large ledge at 15m. Traverse right along the ledge for 2m to the continuation of the crack, and onto a large ledge below a large overhanging jammed block. Straight up over the block to glory. Good pro. There is an alternative route from the second ledge - left, and up a corner. This is easier, but less direct, and doesn't affect the route grade.

Mount the easy bulge then climb the first face using horizontals and triangular pockets to gain a ledge. Climb the second face and then a third face passing through the middle of the two dominant triangular projections.

Follow the obvious line 2/3 the way up before moving left around a mostly blank face before heading back right to the crack with the boulder in the top. (Conquering the face has the potential to be a great project!)

Pikers variant of Wind From Above. Follow the corner to the squeezy cave at the top and climb out before you are compacted or eaten by the dianoga.

Scrappy climbing leads to engaging jamming sequence. Finish at the final tunnel.

This is the next buttress along from Giant's Foot.

Follow the discontinuous crack in the middle of the face to the top.

The series of gullies, faces and walls after Millenium Buttress

You need a settled approach to stitch this up. Being good in bed may help. Take the obvious crack line to a hole, then branch right up the face over the small overlap, up the shallow corner and straight over the overhang at the top. Continue to the top of the buttress.

Climb the large corner to the right of 'Calmer Suture' all the way to the top.

Follows the obvious left trending crack on the face 10m right of Calmer Suture.

Rise up and assume a difficult stance. Once gained, turn hard left and persist despite increasing difficulty. When you’re as left as possible, drive head-on into the inevitable struggle. Enjoy a period of relative calm before the final difficulty creates some internal battles.

Head up the easy corner and steer up the left edge of the top bulge for a slightly harder finish. Short but sweet.

There are no known access issues, but the area is relatively untouched, so treat it with respect. Try and avoid damaging vegetation, and set up an abseil after the first climb, to avoid trampling vegetation on top of the cliff.

Not TeDiuM, actually quite nice. Climb the blocks to the hand crack, then climb the crack to the top.

There is still good in him yet. Start in the obvious corner as per Learning to Fly, break left at the roof and traverse under the lovely jambs. Pull on to the wall above and savour the glorious face climbing with fantastic gear.

Start in the obvious corner below the stepped roof, break right and launch through the stepped rooves on the right with long moves up to the ‘morgue’, harder moves lead to easier ground and the final thin corner.

There are no known access issues, but the area is relatively untouched, so treat it with respect. Try and avoid damaging vegetation, and set up an abseil after the first climb, to avoid trampling vegetation on top of the cliff.

Corner climbing. Right of do or do not.

Obvious line through the middle of the wall R of Boga. Wider jambing initially leads to lovely hands, arrange your gear before the crack peters out below the sloping narrow ledge, slight traverse left then up the glorious finger crack.

Start at Jabba’s feet and ooze through the rolls, reach out to the white fingers on the right of the roof then follow the arête and cracks above.

If you do one route here make it this one! Immortal. Through the middle of the overhanging face with a bit of everything. Sting in the tail at the final seam.

Start as for the Sith. At half height resist the temptation of the dark side (the direct finish), use the force to gain the right trending crack.

Start at the lowest point just right of the pine against the face. The rounded arete transitions to acute and then to obtuse. Stay off the faces.

You had to be quick to get the first ascent on the dark side. Start at the obvious crack below the large block on a ledge, over and around this through the crack above. A fillip awaits where you least expect it.

This area is characterised by a Heart-shaped block at 3/4 height, which marks the route "PatO your heart"

Corner around arete and into corner above, variation up corner with frightening looking detached plates and no useful gear.

Stellar climbing with an audacious move up the arete to the hanging corner above. Start as per Talon in the chimney then break left to the obvious white jug. Place your gear then head out to the arete. Hidden key placement left of the arete (#3 stopper) in small crack. Immortal.

Fused crack and R facing shallow corner through blocks and large flake above, start up chimney in corner then step left into line.

Obvious chimney with chock stones. The first is a cracker!

Obvious crack with Y at top, step into R fork then back left through breaks to top.

Blocky corner with twin parallel cracks and ledge at half way, finger crack above (soloed and then it got hairy)

This sector looks a bit looser than those either side, but is still quite good.

Up bulging hand crack with plentiful gear. The crack line L of Heart of Stone.

Up the hand crack, over the heart shaped block, take a breath on the ledge, then launch up the thin seam to the top.

Left around the corner from 'Hyperdrive'. Take the crack just left of the roof to the second horizontal above the roof, then traverse 4m right over the roof to a metre before the arete. Launch straight up the face following the line of weakness, to the top.

Start as per Dos Cabras Negras for 4m then traverse left towards arete with a series of cracks left of the red section. Follow your nose gloriously to the top.

Named after the audience at the top. Follow the lovely consistent line on the left of the face.

The crack 2m right of DCN

Left arete of grey slab with gear in the left wall where it is run out. Through the obvious hand crack in the middle of the slab above.

Right hand arete. Arrange 000 and 0.2 cams in slot on left and micro offset wires in horizontal on right arete, equalising both. spectacular and intricate moves to negotiate bulge them finish as per the sound on one cheek clapping.

Start on the ledge, and head up the main zig-zagy crack to the left of Blood Moon.

Climb the corner and pass the fist block to gain the short second corner. Pass the roof on the right to gain the ledge and then climb the face on your left through the wide scoop.

Climb the shallow poorly protected corner to a small roof, go left around the roof and continue up the groove to a large ledge. Climb the middle of the 4m face straight ahead.

The climb follows a corner for a few metres. then branches out right onto the face and up a couple of discontinuous cracks. The climb starts just to the right of an obvious, square jutting block at half-height.

Bouldering start to distinct corner with a loose-looking rock spike. Traverse up and left onto ledge with large block. Climb corner behind on wonderful holds to roof, traverse right onto ledge and up.

This is the large buttress with the massive roof on climber's right.

The obvious corner and chimney that converges with Convergent Evolution. Delightful climbing.

Up left trending cracks into corner at 6m with a spicy step across then corner/chimney and cracks in right face to top.

Start below the left hand side of Star Destroyer Buttress roof, climb up and traverse right over the roof, then up following the right hand line of holds, that lead to a shallow scoop and onto the arete. Finish as for 'Tensions on the Korean Peninsular'.
