Same belay, left route

Same belay, centre route

Exposed and thin wall climbing, left of Oranges Poranges. From lookout as per OP to furthest anchors on ledge. Rap 55m (or twice with intermediate rappel station) to 3 bolt semi-hanging belay. If you fall from this belay, you will have 7 seconds to think about your mistake before hitting the ground. Validated with a rock-drop-test.

Wild corner above a sea of nothing.

From the lookout, head left down the hill along the cliffline (towards hanging rock) until approx 10m from the end of the ridge (the first rock platform back from the end of the ridge). Fix a rope and rap ~35m from here in the direction of Pierces Pass to a ledge (single fixed hanger rap anchor and bollard south of where you rap, can be backed up with sm-med cams underneath the platform). At the western end of the ledge (towards hanging rock) is the belay for the end of P2 of The Black Rose. Rap 25m down this to a semi-hanging belay, and again 20m down the very steep 1st Pitch (clip the rope through all the bolts on the way down) to fully hanging belay 150m off the deck.

P1 20m (27) - Up using arete and right face, with bouldery thin crux from the 2nd bolt. Easier sustained climbing above to semi-hanging belay. ~7 bolts.

P2 25m (20) - Up vertical and slabby face right of the arete to belay on big ledge. Bit runout on 3 bolts.

Would probably be better as single pitch.

Ascend fixed rope and top out. About Gr. 16.

“About as wild as it gets...”

Intimidating and aesthetic face climbing. This really is the wild, wild west! Bring 15 bolt plates and 17 quick draws (6 of them should be long runners!)

Rap 50m down the top pitch of Burramoko Buttress (off various trees and bollards) to ledge with ring-bolt in the corner (back up off wires and rap-rope).

Traverse across Oranges and Lemons to Ring bolt, then follow 14 spaced carrot bolts up the wall to double ring-bolt loweroff.

An 80m rope can JUST get back to the belay on loweroff. This route wanders quite a bit, so two ropes OR minimum 6 long-runners are essential to managing drag.

When you're standing on Hanging Rock think about this route - the top two pitches fell off in 2009 and are now in the valley floor (it used to be a 75m 4 pitch route). This is the prominent orange arete about 50m west of Hanging Rock with the ugly white landslide scar at the top. Fix a rope to the top, rap in, climb the bottom two pitches then jumar out over landslide.

Start 30m left of Kiss or be Kissed. Bolts out of corner and up wall to ledge and rap chain.

Start at short faint corner.

1. 40m 19. Up corner 2m, left and up flake, traverse 2m right, up (bolts) to ledge and chain (take small cams).

2. 20m 15. 3 bolts right and up (bolt).

25m right of of Kiss or be Kissed starting at cairn. Boulder start past bolt to ledge. Left over bulge a few metres, 2 bolts, traverse left along holds (2 bolts) and up to ledge and chain.

Open project starting as for Hot and Hunky and going straight up? Has been a project since the early 90s - go for it!

Up to ledge as for Hot and 'hunky. Walk right to black streak, through roof (bolt), past breaks and right to bolt, up then left to bolt, straight up (2 bolts) to cam then 3m left and bolts to ledge and chain. Cams to #2 and double ropes recommended.

Scene of Rob Lebreton's near death groundfall when a bolt pulled. Starts 5m right of Big Meaty at bolt.

1. 10m 24. Stickclip and up along lip to flake. Flake (bolt) to ledge (good pitch).

2. 35m 25. Out left and up wall and bulge to Big Meaty's rap chain. 6 bolts and medium cams.

Start as for Human Cannonball and traverse right on lip instead of going up. Up from last bolt. Many bolts.

The left route. One point of aid. Carrots and could be some trad? Currently has a 'biner on high bolt - no visible lower-off.

The right route. Either starts up right facing flake for aprox 8m then traverse left onto bolted face - or maybe starts at the corner to the left. Either way - its trad at the start then a mix of carrots and FHs in the upper section. At least 5 bolts visible from the ground - no anchor visible.
