Trad 15m Magnetic Island
10 - 14 Cripes

Starts behind the boulder at the end of the bouldering wall, to the R of "Mr Krinkle". Ascend the corner with grass growing out of it. 15+m?

Trad 15m Castle Hill
10 - 15 X Don't Bother Vomiting

Starts 3m R of detached block which forms a chimney. Faintly marked but hard to see the paint. Ascends pockets (protectable) and then an unprotected slab. Looks like it finishes on a grassy ledge below the overhang - uncertain finish & descent.

Trad 15m Castle Hill
12 - 16 X Drunken Soup

Starts 4m R of Fembot. Faintly marked but extremely hard to see the paint. Slab route up nice-looking crystally rock. May have some gear a few metres off the deck, but then nothing until right up the top. Uncertain finish & descent (Maybe a walk off L and then a tree rap).

Trad 15m Castle Hill
6 - 12 Arrow

10m R of Beyond, there is a fairly obvious blocky weakness with grass growing out of it (looks like it would take gear). It is not marked with letters, but there is a very, very faint arrow pointing up. Looks like it would be okay if it wasn't vegetated. 25+m?

Trad 25m Castle Hill
12 Chossable

Up the face and crack with some surprisingly nice moves. Chossy.

FFA: Luen Warneke, 27 Nov 2018

Trad 8m Douglas
8 - 13 Unmarked

10m R of Arrow, there is a nice little line the follows a groove/crack up the rock. Up the crack and around a block and then up and R following the line. It would take some gear. Probably a scramble off R. Possibly hasn't been climbed before.

Trad 20m Castle Hill
12 Oven Roasted
