20 Directissima toprope

A worthwhile top rope problem. Climb the bouldery wall between Pandora and Crack Climb and continue straight up on the headwall right of Crack Climb with balancy moves until reaching left at the offwidth. Bottom section might be possible in trad, but the top is unprotectable and too close to other routes to put a bolt

FA: (Jeroen Jansen 7/2023 but likely done by someone else earlier)

Top rope 25m Freycinet National Park
21 Unnamed Route 2

The face to the right of finger puppets, thin fingery climb with little to no foot placement. done on Top Rope due to little protection for a trad route.

Alt start to School Teacher. Using overhung slants approx 5m right of normal start. Then up slab to school teacher finish. One move wonder, pumpy off the ground.

Far end of the trilogy slab area. Tricky start either bridging on the back wall or leaning over from the shallow crack. Easy work up the cracked ramp after. Stop at the top of the ramp or traverse to join with other routes for the overhang.

Top rope APY Lands

Start as for The Dead Albatross to first bolt, then left to stay left side of arete . Continue up past two little triangular rooflettes. No basalt or bridging to be left. Set up as toprope for now - use fixed hangers backed up with trad, or bolt plates at top of Bicycle Graveyard, or both.

FA: Brendan Heywood, 1 Sep 2022

Top rope 6m Upper Gara Gorge
23 Defender of the Phish

The face and slab on the front of the buttress to the right of Albatross has been climbed on top-rope. A decision was made not to bolt this due to its proximity to Albatross. Still worthwhile having a play though if you're at the anchor. Run the rope over the front of the buttress, and climb Albatross until at the base of the crack. Step right and up from here and follow the tricky face and delicate slab/groove above, finishing through the short crack to the anchor.

FA: Martin Brown, Aug 2022

Top rope 18m Cape Le Grand NP
17 Parallel Cracks

The twin parallel cracks 2 m L of BA. The start is a bit tenuous (crux) but the rest is an absolute delight. Use a #3 Camalot for trad belay or use the lower-offs of SD. Ross Weiter, Ruth Murdie, Apr ’11

Top rope 18m Cape Le Grand NP
19 Single Dimension

One for the connoisseur! From Silhouette descend for 8 m along the boulder base, then traverse 4 m on under-clings onto rock ledge. In the back of it lurks this overhanging off-width crack. Bring two #4 Camalots and some smaller cams. After exiting R at the top continue up slab for 4 m to lower-offs just L of giant hole. Ross Weiter, Dec ’11

FA: Brendan Goossens, 2019

Top rope 12m Staughton Vale
14 Atmosfear

Find the memorial cairn just above the corner of the bay near the start of the the Thistle cove walk. Wander up the slabs behind the cairn trending left to a low point on the skyline about 100m west of the tip of the headland. You should find a large cave on the ocean side below the crest with a faintly ludicrous traverse along an obvious ledge above the cave.

Start from the slab below the ledge. Belay off large cam in pocket. Climb right to a ‘step over the void’ move and then follow the ledge rightwards past a groove (alternate finish at grade 12) till it terminates at some obvious flakes and orange smoothness. Clamber on top of the flakes and up the wall. Belay off nuts and cams and/or a tree on the crest.

A great little adventure. Ed Nepia 27.1.11

Top rope 25m Cape Le Grand NP
18 The Face of Faye

Down on the main ledge, the leftmost line up the steep and smooth face. Brilliant climbing, which from the ground looks unlikely. Go slightly left from the start to gain the large sidepulls then back right and up the crack near the top. Doesn’t look protectable from the ground, hence it was not led. But on TR the gear was found to be adequate if you are very confident at the grade. (AWAITING FA!)

Top rope 15m Faye Bluff
15 Don't drop me Will!

The line goes up between Number two and Wodka, all the way to the small V at the top overhang. Sit/squat start as low as possible, move to hand size square jug, follow vertical edge to a couple spread out jugs, (be careful I minimised usage of holds from Wodka, we only used one), then crimp up to small overhang and through the small V. Top out is optional but must finish standing ontop of overhang.

Note: If you use no holds from either climb it might be considered a 16.
