Nodes in The Three Brothers

Another hill, another amazing array of giant boulders. Quite a few problems established but again the real excitement is in what remains. The Three Brothers themselves are spectacular and largely unclimbed. Approximate number of established problems 50, difficulty range V0 – V8.

Jumping start to the good (LH) and back right to high incuts (The Halfway Problem). Mantle and step left to the arete, finishing up the slab.

Tall slab with a series of blobs to mantle.

Starting left of the low block and using the embedded flake. drift right onto solid holds.

• This is the descent route for the boulder.

The Hideous overhanging crack.

The line up the 45degree wall with a big move to get to lip, easier terrain after. Take lots of pads.

The gently bulging face on the Middle Brother, the shortest of the three boulders. A highball on perfect granite. It starts with steep and powerful moves off a chunky, in-cut flake, followed by a series of vertical cranks on small but positive edges, which guard the crux mantle onto a slopey narrow rail at two-thirds height. Blankness and weirdness above the rail gets you to a thin seam just below the more amenable top-out. It's one of Harvey's aesthetic highball jewels.

Sit start the arete from the left-hand side.

• This is the descent route for the boulder.

Good incut holds lead into the black scoop feature. Scary.

Start on the large hold and move right into “The Reluctant Gardener”.

Starting low, moving up the underclings. Shoot for the pocket on the right-hand side of the arete, then left and up the arete to finish.

The face opposite middle brother. Some obvious large flakes midway, the most featured line on that side of the boulder.

Stay well away from the rifle shooting range (http://www.tmrc.com.au/). This is private property and potentially extremely dangerous.

The steep face and arete of the boulder

The undercut prow with a high right-hand crimp. Tough bulge.

Crank right on great incuts and up to finish.

Good holds but a spooky landing.

Up the slab on slopes dish features.

Low slabs, pleasant climbing.

Starting under overhung dihedral move up and left to the obvious rails, follow right to finish. Beautiful white rock.

Overhung wall 5 metres to the left of “Porcelain”.

The technical face, keeping to the left.

Starting low on the big ledge.

Slopey layback slabby arete on immaculate rock.

Starting low, layback to the left off of the arete.

From the flake move up, then right or left to finish.

Starting low on incut jugs, move up to a tricky mantle.

From right-hand undercling to technical and fingery wall.

Stay well away from the rifle shooting range (http://www.tmrc.com.au/). This is private property and potentially extremely dangerous.

Moving up and to the right along the crimpy ramp feature.

Starting low, layback to the left off the arete.
