Routes in Tasmania

Short finger crack on the left wall of the Chasm, climbs up to DBB

The line of bolts on the R side of the chasm. Brilliant steep bouldery moves lead to easier arete climbing before joining Vanity.

All bolts apart from an optional 0.3 cam on the face traverse of Vanity at mid height.

Starting on the right side of the chasm, follow seams (wires) to bolts on face. Traverse right into (somewhat concerning) undercling flake after clipping the 3rd bolt, then blast up the right arete past 3 more bolts to the top.

Intricate route finding up the next pillar right of Boy's Games to DBB (shared with Climbing Edge Memorial Climb). A difficult onsight.

Mixed Route

The arête right of CEMC. The first section can be climbed on either side of the arête, leading to a good rest before the steep finish. The crux is passing the last bolt.

Climb the super thin crack, passing a small overlap at the bottom. No loweroffs so take a biner for the last bolt if there's not one already there.

Great climb on a large block with ringbolts visible from Johnstone's Knob. 4 BRs plus rap station. G. Phillips, Oct. 1995.

Great sport climbing on the Hobart side of Johnstones Knob involving both aretes and passing a knife blade to a ledge with rap anchor. Protected by 3 carrots.

The prominent 12m spire that casts a spell on climbers and entices them over. There are several ways to the top. Rap station. Unknown, Sept. 1961.

Nestled in a hole within the southern end of the Lost World boulder field is an overhanging boulder split by a finger crack. Begin at the beginning. The best way to explain it is to do it.

Climb the crack past two blocky ledges to just below the base of a small vee groove near the top. Hand traverse left and finish up a short crack.

Up Face It to traverse. plug in a couple of hand size cams in break and continue up weird shallow groove.

The lightly vegetated, thin flared crack 3m right of the vegetated corner of Quarryman. Climb the crack and the shallow corner above.

A #4 Camalot make the top out more palpable.

Thin crack finishing at one (rusty) bolt.

hand, fist, finger crack

Start: L of Savage Journey is a dirty corner chimney and L of this is a fine looking north facing crack.

The obvious arête right of Cruise Air and left of Lactos.

Many holds have broken, originally 29, possibly now in the region of grim 30/31.

Brilliant fun little chimney - stay near the entrance. First ok nut placement is 12m up, so top-roping is recommended

Contrived but cool climbing with an as-yet impossible topout.

not sure how this has been listed as 8 meters? unless you want to bring some tat and do a sketchy rap at halfway

Climb offwidth for 8 meters, step left up slabby boulder into hand crack, medium cams for anchor, scramble off down the gully to the right.

Stem and jamb the thin corner left of Back on the boarderline

Up wall past 2 bolts, into thin had crack

The offwidth/ squeeze chimney between BOB and NF. A no 5 big bro and a #9 cam help.

hand crack

Start: The front of the buttress to the R of the central gully

"Devoid of any natural gear"

15m right of the central gully, twin cracks with an overhang halfway up the cliff. Jam the cleaner righthand crack (though it is still often slippery).

Climb short crack on L, traverse R and then into main crack

Start: Wall with two horizontal breaks about 50m R of the central gully.

first placement is about 6 meters up. not for the feint of heart.

beware the semi-loose microwave-sized blocks high up in the crack.

Bolted arête right of Lost Wanderer. Sustained and powerful.

The cleaned, well-protected crack just right of Hurricane. Desperate, sustained and technical flared finger/hand jamming leads to sustained bridging and jamming to the top from about halfway. Crux at the first bulge around 8m. A good test-piece before tackling Albatross at Lowdina.

The bolted arête to the left of Dyazide and right of Great Southern Land, starting from the ledge at half height.

Short finger and laback crack below Endorphin. A couple of bouldery moves, small/medium wire protects the middle.

Ends on ledge, or link into Endorphin!

Possibly 24 if your tall with small fingers.

Absorbing climbing. An old aid line that was freed in fine style. The second crack left of Adolf. The thin crack up the striped wall. Climb the crack with increasing difficulty. Small cams required.

The original free version. Starts up the off-width on the left before stepping right into the finger crack. Finishes around on the left at the end in an easy corner.

The way to do it. Climb via both the Direct Start (25) past 2 bolts, and the Direct Finish (25) past another bolt. DRB.

Closed Project

Line of bolts right of Rosy Pink Cadillac

James scarborough

Unique and weird. Do it for the entertainment value. Tackles the prominent diagonal left leaning flake at the right end of the cliff. Struggle up the off-width chimney 3m left of Paladin until you can traverse out left at the flake. Move up the flake to a roof, swing left around the arête and finish up an easy chimney.

The small little roof crack on the yellow dot path to new world. Perfect hand crack with crux pulling the lip.
