They must have meant 'face that obviously needs sweeping'. Stumble and bash your way around the bottom end of the cliff line and walk south a bit. On the slabs facing the valley is a supposed óbvious clean sweeping face', R of a gully. Directly up the slab past an overlap to the top.

A tiered corner system about 10m L of D. Up the corners to move R near the top., then up.

A few metres L of Windemere. Follow the weakness diagonally L to the major diagonal. Right along this for 4m then up the short corner.

Looks good. The steep orange wall L of the Drifter. Up the wall, over the bulge heading L, then up the crack above the horizontal break.

Walk down 60m or so from the Free Standing area to the next compact orange wall. The first crack corner with guano. Up easily to the diagonal break. Exciting climbing across this to the arete.

The location of the this route is a bit of a guess. The dead gum probably fell down years ago and there are no conifers on the range, except in the plantation. It may be on the scrappy grey rock just before Windemere Wall.

Halkway down the cliffline from Free Standing is a dead gum tree, 7m from the bottom on a ledge. A small conifer grows above this on the top of the cliff. (There is a dead gum 7m out from the bootom of the cliff) To the R is a smooth grey wall and corner. Jam up the crack and through the overhangs to the top.

well worthwhile and easier than it looks. The orange face down L of HL leads to a niche which is exited on the L. R up the slab to finish L up the obvious line.

The name says it all. Start downhill from HSD beneath the obvious roof capping the corner.

1. 15m 16 Follow the L slanting crack past a curious detached knob. Take care with loose rock. belay in the corner.

Starts left of the cave/overhang of Free Standing. Stick clip first BR. Optional #4 Rock to protect last moves to chain.

A strenuous and classic test piece on great rock. Add a few grades if youve been weened in gyms. The overhanging line up the leering block above the wide line. From the ledge, jam the crack and pull over into the belay dish. Take some biig cams or hexes.

Exciting. Climb FS until over the lip and just short of the belay. Step R and cruise to the arete then pull through to the top.

The L hand two lines on the next chunky section of cliff, 40m R of FS. Can be done as one pitch.

1. 15m 17 Up to the overhang, over it and quickly up to the belay.

2. 10m Easily up the short wall to the top.

Just R of FG. Up easily then the short wide crack, continue to the overhang/diagonal, traverse R and belay.

Starts from the ledge, just R of the arete. Climb the wall, following a crack line ontothe diagonal ledges. Traverse off R to finish.

Take the R arete of Antwerp.

1. 20m 16 Crux. Climb the arete to where the crux step L is made to belay on the block on the L face.

2. 10m 10 Move off R as for Antwerp.

The orange corner with the overlap at 10m at the uphill end of the cliff. Up the corner to move L at the overhang. A wire allows you to clip the bolt. Use bucket to gain the line and wall above.

From the top of C go straight up the grey wall.

Good climbing up the tiered orange wall uphill from Cruising. Up and over the dangerous loose block and overlaps to fine crack in the roof. Clip the bolt and up to the top.

The middle crack splitting the blocks

The R crack with a bulge.

The face 1m L of SCS

Mantel to the ledge and up the crack on the L side of the first little wall

The first short overhanging corner. Awkward moves to the ledge formed by the nose like protrusion. Clip the BR and get your ass over the bulge.

Diagonally R up the face 1m R of DFA. Now climb the steep crack through the second roof.

Up to the distinctive protruding rib and block R of BTR and onto the ledge. Finish as for BTR

The name refers to a wonderful beer made in Yorkshire, it should be spelt. Peculier. Strangely Tough. Climb good edges to cracks in the roof 5m R of BTR. Continue up The Finish or step R to finish up FSAFL.

A classic and popular overhang. Obvious stepeed break 2 m R of OP.A couple of difficult moves brings the piton within reach. Jugs then the final pull onto the ledge. Finish up the blunt arete and watch the loose blocks.

Short, commiting and quite loose. The thin line up the final wall 2m L of the finishing arete of FSAFL (directly above OP)

Technical. Up face to next break in overhang 2m R of FSAFL. Up L past BR to crack in lip. Up to ledge.

Fun - better than it looks. 'Fridge door' the hard looking roof crack and block on the extreme R of the lower tier, 2m R of GRSS.

Up to L leading lines just R of SA, then to the top of arete.

The dog leg line 10 R of the vegetated gully. Up to and past the BR. Continue up easier crack above, which soon becomes slabby. Best to continue up easier ground to belay off the tree.

Up line 2m R or DPC past a BR and up the blunt arete.

Not Bad. Block section 1m R of SSS to wall. The original went straight up but the best climbing is up the arete to the L.

Scary finish. Up to the big ledge from the corner of BR. Traverse R to join LCICM and go up to the final overhanging wall. Traverse L on 'playing cards' past a bolt to shelf. Up the slab.

An excellent pitch with a fiery finish. Up to bolt in the L end of lower overhanging wall (3m R of the big stringy bark) Up the arete to a stance below the black wall. Bolt Pull through to the ledge and Bolt Belay.

A strenuous variant to LCICM. At the crux wall of LCICM step R and up the leering wall.

Solves the middle of the lower tier (6m R of LCICM). There are 3 BRS (2 of which are right next to each other). Finishes at a DBB lower off on the halfway ledge.

More fun than doing you Tax.

1. 10m 21 Up EE to the halfway ledge. Best to belay at the DBB accross to the L.

2. 10m 21 Delicate over the overlap to the overhang. Clip the Bolt above and solve the unusual finish up the stepped crack.

The R end of the lower overhanging tier, 4m R of EF, has a single FH bolt. Finisihes accross L at the lower off anchors on the halfway terrace/ledge.

Named after Geoff rapped off his rope. Up EE then up the first moves of GOTG. Move L to exit near the top of the TM.

A classic test piece.

1. 10m 21 Up EE then move L to the DBB

2. 13m 22 Strenuous bucket pulling through the mighty overhang 2m R of the TM finish. There are 2 x bolts on the way to the lip.

A key hold has been broken from this exposed climb. Up ES until level with the 2nd overhang. Step L into space, past a bolt, and up the bottomless corner, bolt

Enjoyably sustained. Obvious Corner splitting the R side of the lower overhangs. At the overlap step L and up the arete to the 2nd overhang. Step back R to the main line. Step L to finish.

The slabby arete at the R end of the cliff.

Easy climbing (grade 10) to daunting 4m overhang, start left and pull direct for grade 21 or bail out left for grade 10.

Climbs the right arete of the first part of the cliff encountered on the walk in. Scramble up to ledge below a prominent nose. 1 20m Corner, undercling right on overlap to tree belay. 2 25m Right and up lovely finger crack till it ends at arete. 3 15m Layback arete then up headwall.

Start at the cracks 6m L of Sheath and just R of the obvious chunky tree growing 6m up on the slab. First belay has 2 FH (could do with some maillons), second belay has chains, trad at the top.

A delicious dance through a succession of thoughtful sequences that require delicate footwork to reach a series of undercuts. The start requires a large step to the right beneath an undercut with the line staying left of small bushes/gully. A belay ledge is available after 40 metres and a set of small cams will assist protection. Starts on The Terrace about 8 metres right (facing cliff) of Do Not Resuscitate Ever.

Bolt mentioned in 'Rockclimbs around Melbourne' is missing.
