Mushroom Rock Sobre todo Escalada clásica 20 vías en escuela

danger - this is not an easy climb to get off unless you leave some gear!

The obvious line on 'Mushroom Rock'; unfortunately it is a bit wide - take some #4 cams and #11 hexes. Actually, now it's been done, don't bother.

1. 15 metres (13) - Climb the chimney at the left side of the orange wall; past an awkward rooflet, to belay from the 'Sunshine' chockstone.

2. 25 metres (18) - Follow the horizontal off-width right with increasing difficulty, to emerge on a triangular ledge. Reverse the first pitch of 'Hotline' to escape.

Traverses under the roof, right of 'Psychadelia', from right to left. Start in a hole and bridge up to a spooky chockstone, then climb the thinning crack.

A vicious off-width, overhung and flared chimney crack high up right on 'Mushroom Rock'. Start below a corner formed by large flakes.

1. 10 metres (13) - Climb the corner to a roof, traverse left and around the nose to a good stance.

2. 22 metres (20) - Crux. climb the strenuous and sustained crack.

The prickly line opposite 'Psychedelia' which repelled a few attempts to free it! Start behind the right-hand (smaller) flake. Into the corner (originally aided on nuts) and up this to the top.

Good wall climbing up the arete about three metres left of 'Gingerman'. Up to the only bolt, then trend left around the arete and up the slabby wall above.

Whatever turns you on... Starts on the right-hand side of the large flake just right of 'Candyman'. Up the flake formed off-width to cut left at the obvious crack, then more easily up the left-hand side of the large flake.

Start at the chimney 10 metres left of 'Moonsong'. Chimney and pull onto the right face below a short diagonal crack (small wires). Step up to the bolt and gain the arete for the final moves.

May go free one day. On the right-hand wall of 'Toadstool Rock' (start marked). Aid the very thin crack to the roof, then left to a crack and free to the top.

100 metres north-west (slightly downhill and right, facing the valley) from 'Mushroom Rock' is an isolated boulder about 20 metres high. On the valley side of this is a thin crack:

One of the hardest cracks in the ACT. It overhangs by two metres in fifteen and has three hand jams, the rest being layaways and thin fingerlocks. Accepts gear from green alien to #2 camalot and a couple of wires. Extra #1 and #2 camalots for the belay, and take a 5m bit of rope or cordalette to hang a loweroff over the lip for dogging. Get down at the end by tying the rope to a tree and rapping off the back.
