Routes as boulder in Canberra

Another slab, one of the more highball problems on the ridge. Could stem it.

Layback problem. Bit scary up top.

A slightly more forgiving angle than the other slabs around Sun Blocks, and a little shorter, this is still no easybeat.

Sit start beneath vertical seam, climb seam and top out.

Sit start from lip of roof, climb up and top out.

Sit start from right side of roof, climb up and top out.

Slabby V0 climb.

A nice climb with plenty of holds and a finish that really gets the blood pumping.

Straight up, match foot/hand in the midway crack while balancing. Don't go too far right.

Slightly easy for the grade - big holds and easy going. This is also the downclimb off the boulder.

Sit start on left side of the obvious flake, then straight up flake to top.

Go around the back of the boulder with #56 find obvious hole crawl through and get squeezed. flip upside down and get a footjam, reach for a jug and mantle from lip. End up right of #56.

Balance problem, great training for slab climbs. Of course, friends don't let friends do slab.

Start for #61 and traverse right into pure slab territory. Hit the undercling and make your way up.

Slabby and balancy.

Another slab problem. Using the crack makes it VBeginner.

Stay away from that crack!

Sit start to #63. Starts with left hand on arete and right hand on obvious side-pull.

Slabbity slab slab.

A face climb, slapping the arete on the right. Techy.

Sit start left side pull, climb face\arete and top out.

A quality climb slapping up the arete from a sitstart.

Completely chipped. Look for the chipped handholds. Photo is a bit misleading - it's about 60 degrees overhung and the first chipped handhold is a bit too low for most people! Starts on obvious chipped holds, then up using other chipped holds and the aretes.

Same as #67 but eliminating the two aretes, instead going from the chipped holds to the incut before deadpointing to the top.

Sit start using LH in the right most low chipped pocket and RH on right arete. Funky foot moves get you up the right arete to top out.

Diesel Power without the chipped holds. Sit start using right hand gaston and left hand on vague arete. Climb bulge and top out. No stacking pads.

Sit start using left side pull and right chipped two finger pocket. Climb bulge and top out.

In between the chipped climbs. Quite overhung climbing on sloped holds. Watch your back.

Sit start, climb vague corner and top out. Watch your back.

Sit start at Ares, traverse right and then finish up Hades.

Probably the best face climb on the Ridge. Powerful and delicate, requiring great body tension and with a demanding topout.

Sit start on low side-pulls then straight up using pockets and edges to slopey top out.

Same sit start as Hades, then trend right to arete, heel hook up and edge your way onto positive holds around the blunt arete. Top out from there.

Sit start jug right hand arete, traverse leftwards into Ares finishing up the latter.

Start as for Frankenstein, head up Hades and then continue left to finish directly above the big pocket on Zeus.

Is it a climb if you don't use your hands? Or just a steep walk?

Start with both hands on crimp rail on left-hand side of face to the left of #73, heel around left, move left to pinch on arete and to jug then top.

Cute little climb with a few suspect flakes. Sit start out right on rounded side pulls and head left onto good footholds and easily topout.

Undercling on smears and up. Left hand closer to V1, right hand more like V2.

SlabLyfe.

A nice little jaunt onto a jug.

Stand start the arete.

Sit start and grunt your way up along the arete and using a few oppositional holds.
