Great trad climbing up this juggy crack. Finish with a lay back and mantle to a great belay position. Take a few no. 3 cams for setting up belay. Watch some of the smaller edges below lay back may still be a little brittle.

Right hand crack. Pull with difficulty over the mini over hang on snappy holds. Old style wilderness trad route.

The crack line, behind DtS. Finish as for AT P1.

1. 15m (17) 3 x FH to vertical hand/feet crack. Cams #1-3 then to DFH belay. The money pitch. Fun feature climbing up to the crack where your cams come into play. What's your crack plan? Lay back or jam?

Aka "Heart Of Darkness" From the second belay on Odyssey, crawl right and up the ridge and around to the second belay on Command Performance, through horrendous vegetation. Continue up CP.

The obvious crack in the middle of this great little outcrop. Natural protection,fixed rope to belay off (Installed 2018).

Large crack on the main face. Start in the small cave. Either pull straight up at a grade harder or wimp out to the better rock on the right. Belay from the tree at the top.

Same start as Ruined Childhood. At big ledge take the right hand thin crack. Care required with gear.

Natural pro up a juggy crack. Start up the corner crack of 51 and move right at ledge and finish up obvious crack. Carefully traverse left at top and use 51 lower off.

Start: Start: At corner crack.

Starts up the obvious left hand crack. Work your way up the corner until you reach a horizontal break that heads out towards a large black boy. From here its straight up to top out. The large blocks half way up the corner sound hollow. I dont think you could possibly move them, but it does sound a little un-nerving.

Start on the RB of "Crimp da buttock"

This is a mixed route, originally on 2 carrots low down. Other routes have been bolted across it. If you use these bolts you are not doing the original route!

Easily up the slab. BR on left (or small wires in the crack for the ethically minded!), then up to small foot ledge (BR on right). Up bulgy corner to the top (crux).

Start as for OoaL. Straight up (U anchor at top of wall for top roping).

2 bolts up the slab and to the base of crack and then up the obvious crack, back right to lower offs.

Fist sized trad crack.

A corner crack on upper ledge. Scramble onto to ledge from either side to start. Rap from tree.

Start: 30m left of GINMD.

Original route name has been identified as being offensive and was thus changed.

1. 30m Up corners to largish horizontal tree.

2. 20m (crux) Crack left of tree - straight up.

1. 30m (17) mind blowing corner offwidth crack, you can get in it, you can climb outside of it, just dont knock off the loose boulders up top!

2. 15m Up corners to largish ledge.

3. 10m (crux) Orange corner.

4. 45m Left to crack, then to corner, to top.

A proud line striking upwards seven metres above the ground and over a roughly 10 metre, wretched fall with a good chance of a roll down the hill afterward. There are no bolts on this climb, and the first ascensionist requests you keep it that way. The lower crack will take some natural protection, but peters out at around the four metre mark. You may be able to fiddle something in above the shaky flake. There's a shaky flake, by the way. Two cruxes - the start and the little rooflet. Don't go left or right at the rooflet unless you want to shake out. This is the main line - start from the ground up a bit of a compression boulder problem, not on top of the boulder in front! Top out, enjoy the mantle.

Step off the large boulder (or off the ground if you have fingers of steal). Balance up the areve and finish at shared anchors. Short. First route on the small boulder at the bottom of the descent gully

Left hand route starting at the bottom of the gully. Nice scoops and small over lap to a deceptively steep finish.

Left line on the slabby arete down and left of the cave, sharing the first two bolts with Unknown 1. Stick clip the 1st hanger and a bit run-out on the slab. Single carabiner lower off (second anchor bolt needs a hanger).

Up little corner step left and up line of bolts right of Airy not scary. Nice longish moves. Up little bolted corner as for Airy Not Scary Nice moves up flakes, bit of friction when lowering off, unclip some draws on the way down if some else is doing it with the draws in!

Hard pulls through the scoop. Great jugs to the top. Start below the left hand arete of the sundeck ledge.

Pitch 1 is the nicest moderate pitch on the mountain.

Start on the same ledge as 'Far from the Madding Crowd' and 'Road Less Travelled'. Follows the cool looking water runnel up to the mini arête and slab above.

1. 20m (17) Step into the water runnel, past 4 bolts, using the arête where possible. Step over the vegetated ledge and trend slightly right until appearing on the large ledge. Belay at the double rings shared with 'Road Less Travelled'.

2. 25m (14) Step right and romp with ease up the slab and boulder above to shared double lower offs.

Start 2 metres left of Parents. Pull through the slot and ramble to the steep all. Keep right on the jugs for a fair grade. Finish at Parents lower offs.

Start just below the S shaped gum tree. Be prepared for committing moves all the way to the top.

Climb straight up the face to DBB.

Start just to the right of the large zawn / cave system. Trend right up the ramp until forced left out on to the arete. Great jugs to the top

Up pebbles to halfway ledge, then middle of blank slab above.

Start just around the corner on good hand holds, step up onto hollow rock, then stay right up to the top.

Easily up scoops and trend right towards the arete, to big jugs at finish Start below grey headwall at bolts in the orange scoops

Same start as Struggle Street, then follow right line of bolts

Just right of the rungs. Choose your starting holds with care until you reach the satisfying iron band ridges. Trend right. Fun.

Thin moves to gain the crack line.

Dynamic reaches between iron stone bands. Easier for the tall. Take care with clipping.

Up sharp arete over bulge to anchors.

10m left of access Gully.

Up the slab, using some key pebbles at half height, to a tricky stance immediately below the third bolt.

Middle of the next pillar. Long reach for the crux. Satisfyingly sequencey.

Short access pitch to reach Jabba the Slut & Death Starred starting at rap anchors above Polenta Pumper on Big Greenie ledge. Old FH, sling around tufa and new FH through steep bit. An orange fixed line hangs over the lower part and then heads left via the start of The Force.

Mantle onto a small ledge, jamb right hand high, then follow the left tending crack up to common lower offs.

Three RB to shared DRBB. Tends left through Pockets.

Face climbing to nice ledges. Trend slightly right.

Start, walk about 40m R of The Road less travelled etc at a body high flake you can just squeeze thru (or walk around).

1. (16) Start on top of the flake at the bottom of the buttress, high first bolt. Pull with interest onto the wall, 6 bolts to large ledge, lower off here if you're doing the first pitch only, or continue to double rings set back on ledge.

2. 10m (17) Cross over Orchid Alley to right line of bolts to next large ledge.

3. 14m (17) Right of top pitch of Orchid Alley, 4 BRs contributed by James Bulititude and then a further 2 bolts through the final head wall. Belay from double rings.

The 1st route on 'San Pedro' Terrace.

Start: Ascend the ramp up to the launch pad or come in from the right and do the "Bard traverse".

1m right of Five, start up large flake past bolt and up to break, clip another bolt above roof then up easy slab to shared DBB

May raise a few eyebrows. A warm up of sorts. The short slab bolted on lead on the very left side of cave. Climbable in all weather.

1m right of F, trending right following line of bolts. 4 RB's to lower offs.

Straight up the middle using cool fins. Starts with a high right hand to pull onto the wall. Keep off the crack to your left

This route required more battery power to bolt than the hubble telescope has ever used! Start: Just right of the Off width corner. Climb slab past 4 bolts to reach flake. Continue up wall past a few arête moves to gain anchors under roof. There is a decent link up that starts up Ectasia for a few bolts then steps left and finishes up SHC and goes at about 20.

Clip the first two bolts from the ground to avoid swinging. Heel hook for all you are worth. Avoid anything that is not a massive hold (everything else my well give way!) and thug your way to the top. Enjoyable, surprisingly.

Start on the RB of "Crimp da buttock"

Using any of the bolts that now cross this route.

Easily up the slab. BR on left (or small wires in the crack for the ethically minded!), then up to small foot ledge (BR on right). Up bulgy corner to the top (crux).

Fun slab moves up to punchy finish over bulge.

Start: 2m left of SHWYF.

Stem the crack, then move up and out onto the face. Finish at lower offs over the top. Dont be fooled by the double bolts on the face, there is still one more move!

Up the short corner. The unnamed Tim Cartwright route 1991.

Start as for 'Quart De Seicle'. Up past vege and then into the steepish short corner. Use the bolts on the left side then finish at the anchors of Alpine ie. trend left at the top after you come out of the corner.

Up slab right of big block.

Start: 2m right of BL.

3RB to right hand double bolt lower offs. Start on right side.

Has been re-bolted. Carrots are no longer.

A fun little climb with plenty of matching on ledges. Finish with bold move to lower offs.

Juggy, left-trending line of holds, starting just right of the through-the-cliff cave on its eastern side (climber's left). Difficult start for the grade, even if the tree is 'on-route'... Great variety through the pitch and rewarding views. Good rings at the top. Can be top roped.

Start: 2m left of PN.

Haul onto wall, then edge up arete passing 4 RBs. Double RB lower off.

Start at the very low point of the crag.

1. (16) 8 bolts - Start easily up the slab to arete and crack. Shared double bolt belay with Here Be Dragons.

3. (17) 8 bolts - Start up water runnel then keep left to run strait up the arete. Double bolt belay at ledge.

4. (15) 6 bolts - Start to the right of belay then tend left and up through blocks. Up two more slabs to final double bolt belay.

5m right of the arete project is another punchy little sport route.

Start 4m L of PN. Up past 5 RB's to Lower offs.

The 3rd route from the right, starting at the arête (Red Room).

Right hand side of the slab. Start on the conveniently positioned old tree trunk. Pull up slab into curving crack, lay back with style and surmount the head wall with care.

Ascends the western side (climbers right) of the walk-through cave, starting on its right.

2 metres further right. Start on the flake of rock, up the clean slab and over the overlap. Romp to top.

The next four routes start 10 metres to the right of the previous route. Bouldery start to good pockets. Anchors set back above the ledge.

3 nice pitches. Start at RRD initials, about 10m L of Gripping Yarn. P1 30m 17 Start up first few moves of RRP and left up nose to 2nd belay Very Easy Route (rings). P2 30m 17 Up friction slab above belay (stay out of the crack) then up left to Gripping Yarn second belay, left end of overlap. P3 10m 17 Up arete to hidden pockets on slab

About 2m right of the double cracks. Up wall past 2 BRs to small overlap, past BR and small tree. DBB.

Shared start with BFP, step right onto arete and up delicate slab.

Start: 12m right of previous climb, Right of corner.

start left of the tree. Use the tree for as long as your legs can reach. Pull up the ledges to a tricky top. Can you do it without the tree?

Up as for Four to overlap, traverse right along flake to join Six. 3BRs.

Classic bridging and laybacking up corner.

Start: Up corner.

Original name was offensive and was thus changed.

Start 2m right of Chadwick's DS. Up layback, over roof, up slab. 3RBs. Double bolt belay.

Rebolted 2018

Start on the irresistible orange and ascend the over hanging ledges. Grope over the lip for the hold, swing into space, take the hero photo and pull with care onto the head wall.

Named after the mythical giant trout caught at this location generations ago. Start in crack and follow up. Swing out to the left and power up to holds over the top. Jump off to get back down.

Looks easy, doesn't it? Then you realise it's stacked hand and fists to start, with a lovely drop onto a hard granite slab if you do anything wrong, and the crack widens as you go, making it a full offwidth experience with the extra spice of possibly having to roll down a hill if you fall. Easy enough if you layback and avoid using the crack, but around V1 if you go at it full offwidth style.

Fridge hug your way up using both aretes.

The chimney start. Get right inside and go up to the top without using any of the juggy footers around. Actually a bit of a lark.

Straight up the crack. Overhung, but far easier than it looks.

Head up the slab.

Up through the face of the boulder left of 'Booark! Jesus!'. Looks very easy but there's not much there and the mantle is techy for the grade.

Straight up the front of the boulder using compression slaps.

Up from a needless sit start staying right of the crack line and topping out. Stay away from flake to the right, it could break.

Sit down, grab the big rail, walk up the boulder. If you just use the slopers it may even be V2.
