Brady's Lookout Satellite boulder #1 | |||||
V9 | Yardwork
Start right hand at the bottom of the same crack feature to start the previous problem and left hand on a good hold at the bottom of the bulge. Make an off-balance move to gain a small sharp crimp and then 2 more hard tension moves to the top | ||||
Brady's Lookout Satellite boulder #2 | |||||
V9 | Pluto
Somewhat of an eliminate. Start as for Mars but move rightwards off a small crimp (avoiding the obvious jug to the left used for Mars) and slap out to the right side to top out | ||||
Brady's Lookout Three's a Crowd Boulder | |||||
V10 | ★★★ Three's a crowd
Start low in the hole on two crimps and head rightwards on relatively easy ground to a powerful finale on small crimps to the lip. FA: Mark Polinski | 4m | |||
Brady's Lookout Circus Boulder | |||||
V8 - 11 | Directors Cut - Project
Start as for Sideshow, once hitting lip, traverse right for several metres via bad slopers to gain better terrain for mantle | 6m | |||
V9 | Watering elephants
Physically more like V8 climbing, but given the seriousness of the landing you might as well give yourself the 9 points. Start on the obvious right-facing sidepull about 1m right of the corner and climb straight up using the left corner and crimps with some right hand sidepulls. Blowing the crux likely will lands you in the hole full of brambles. If that happens, at least know you weren’t the first. | ||||
Brady's Lookout Undertow Boulders | |||||
V9 | ★★ Pudding Direct
Sit start as for Good Pud and head straight up FA: Diego Lopez Iturralde, 4 Jul 2022 | ||||

Brady's Lookout Waterwheel Boulders | |||||
V10 | ★★★ Quarter Pounder
The lower start to Pound of Flesh V7. Stand start with LH in rippled sloper and RH on triangle crimp/pinch, Big RH move to decent edge and then slap your way into Pound of Flesh start holds. Definitely room still for a sit start, very small holds. Low percentage and compression resistant, a classic of the crag. FA: Jordan Grant, 13 Aug 2022 | 6m | |||
Distillery Creek Prohibition Hill | |||||
V9 - 11 | Tequila Sunrise - Project
The left arete of the steep boulder. Sit start following the line of compression holds to top out on the left side of the slab. Looks like a super quality line | 5m | |||

The next line of edges up to a sloping topout. Sit start on large rail using edges to reach the lip | 4m | |||
V10 - 13 | Gin N Juice - Project

Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Shady Side Hot Mess Buttress | |||||
30 - 32 | Piece of Cake Project
The hardest open project in the Gorge and possibly the hardest line in the gorge if it goes. Takes the blank left face and sharp arete to DBB | 9m, 3 | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Upstream of Suspension Bridge Low Water | |||||
V10 | Low Water Centre Open Project
Stand start on 2 bad slopey edges with bad feet and mountain goat your way to the top. Very hard by the feel of it. | 2m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Shady Side Bouldering Lamp Post 12 | |||||
V9 | The Invisible Link
Start as for Unnamed Arete and head up and left around the corner to the starting holds of Jumper, then finish as for Jumper. Historical ascensionist advise taping the tip of the left index finger in order to use the invisible link which is a tiny sharp spiky edge. | 3m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Shady Side Bouldering The Silent Forest | |||||
V7 - 10 | Project
Up the face underneath 'Scrubba Dub' Start LH on small sidepull nub and RH on terrible sloper indent. chockstone foot probably has to be in for it to be possible. | ||||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Shady Side Bouldering The Erratics | |||||
V10 | ★★★ Powerslave
Climb Ramped Up without using the ramp at all. A crucial foot has since broken after the FA. Needs grade confirmation, quite a lot harder now. FA: Jordan Grant, 27 Jan 2021 | 3m | |||
V9 | ★★ Urak Hai Low
Sit Start with right hand on low sidepull sloper and left hand under the arete on a dimpled sloper. A brutally hard compression move will find you at the starting hold of Urak-Hai - finish as for that. | 3m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Dewsworld Bike Boulder | |||||
V10 | ★★★ Wingcycle - Project
Great problem with big and powerful compression. Start with left hand on undercling and right hand on arete. Rest is up to imagination at this point | 3m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Dewsworld Island Boulder | |||||
V9 | ★★ Secret Hideaway Left
Left start to Secret Hideaways, right hand on crimp, left hand on arete and up via slopers FA: Diego Lopez Iturralde, 1 Jul 2022 | ||||

Great compression line on the back of the Island Boulder. Squat start right hand on a good horizontal crimps above head height and left hand on the good pinch down low. FA: Tommy Krauss & I. Lethborg, Apr 2021 | 4m | |||
V10 | ★★★ L'Eau
Sit Start. Lh on low arete, RH low on incut crimp. Go up FA: Elliot Vercoe, 2 Nov | 4m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Basin Bouldering The Diving Board | |||||
V9 | ★★★ Diving board
Currently broken right hand start hold, problem has not been repeated since and is considerably harder Only a couple moves of hard pulling, but quite powerful. Start RH on the reinforced crimp in the middle of the face (now a lot smaller) and LH squeezing the Left side at about the same height or just below where some small ridges are visible. Make a move up the left face and throw for a good hold out right near the lip. Finish with an easier, but ungraceful top out. Very nice compression problem. | 2m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Duck Reach Bouldering Upstream of Suspension Bridge Limited Edition Boulder | |||||
V9 | ★★ Limited Edition
Start matched on the large crack/ledge at move out right to some crimps. Make a big move back right to a slanting crimp rail and then dyno for a jug up over the top. If you miss the dyno you're liable to take a nasty fall down into a hole. The first ascentionist filled this potential hazard in with logs and branches before covering it with pads, Unfortunately floods and 12 year old kids who like playing with sticks seemed to make short work of his efforts, so there's a good chance you may have to rebuild the landing. FA: Mark Polinski, 2011 | 3m | |||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Duck Reach Bouldering Upstream of Suspension Bridge Sudoku Boulder | |||||
V10 - 13 | Open Project
The clean overhanging face to the left of ‘Sudoku.’ | ||||
Launceston (Cataract) Gorge The Gorge - Bouldering Duck Reach Bouldering Upstream of Suspension Bridge 7 Minute Abs Boulder | |||||
V10 | ★★ 7 Minute Abs
Just right of the previous problem is an undercut roof facing up river. Start RH on the lowest good undercling/sidepull in the roof, LH squeezing the left face at about the same height (~25cm below the divot), and feet on the detached 'diving board' boulder below the actual roof block. Pull hard compression moves requiring quite a bit of core tension to gain a jug over the lip, followed by an easier top out. Probably a little more interesting exercise for developing that 6-pack you always wanted than doing sit-ups, but that's a matter of opinion. Climbing this without using the protruding boulder for feet would easily bump the grade up 2 or 3 numbers. | 4m |
