Use any colour.

Use all blues

Sit start. Short very easy arete. Gold... waist high!

Stand-start. Jugs everywhere.

Stand-start.

Stand-start. Move up on jugs.

Next crack over from Route 4. Stand-start with one hand in the crack and mantel.

Sit start at the low edge.

Head up the arete.

The crack before the slab. Eliminate all but the crack. Pretty horrible.

Its a shitty slab all right.

SDS Easy face.

Sit start on marked holds, climb up. A controlled hand slap on the 12th block from the ground is the finish.

SDS - left hand on the sloping jug. Right hand on whatever is comfortable.

SDS - starting on the juggy slot, move directly up and over.

Ultra-low sit start added 15th June, 2021. SDS with both hands on low two-handed block. Rock up on the heel and make some desperate throws for the slots before finishing as the original climb. Fun and probably around V1.

Chimney

Thrutch your way up the chimney at the back of the short, narrow gully, at the left hand end of the wall.

Starts at the base of the diagonal ramp starting at the far right end of the ledge. Takes the ramp clipping the bolt on Bellvuesses and A Bit To The Right and finishing up the later.

Climb the rising seam running from right to left across the face until it finishes then head straight up the slab to large block.

Walk back from the road past the start of Dodgy Curry / Suspect Sushi to the substantially shorter boulder immediately behind.

Sit start just to the left of the crack which goes up off to the right. Straight up.

Hand-wide crack in center of wall

Crack 1m right of Anti-vaxer

So named because a dead lizard was found in the crack.

Climbs in between 'The Overflow' and 'Busting for Relief'. Easy holds to flake, then you can place protection in the crack.

Unlikely to be a FA, but hey, I'll claim it until someone else does.

This climb has been upgraded from 8 to 9 in the 2011 Guide Book "ROCKCLIMBS AROUND MELBOURNE" by Glenn Tempest.

Start around right of "Tree In A Crack" on horizontal crack below "Royal Auto". From here; directly up until joins with "Lara".

The left of the two obvious trenches in the face where the path arrives at the crag.

Chimney right of Bitou

Corner uphill from the L end of the slab.

Nice easy face for kids to top rope on north east side of pinnacle. 2BB on top.

North facing slab 40m left of Cressy Gully walls. Obvious crack at left end of slab. crack to DBB.

1m right of Butterface take easy face passed two BR’s

1m right of Measure once face past two BRs.

Chimney at back of block

Crack, then traverse R to upper crack.

Right-hand end of wall is an easy corner, Left facing crack/corner to upper low angled slab and DBB.

Arete 1m left of Just around the corner follow seam and arete to slab above to DBB

Good warmup for "When Children Sleep".

Sit start and climb the beautiful rock. Can be made harder by using the smaller holds. Top out. Enjoy the view. Great first outdoor Bouldering problem.

Hardly newsworthy. Slab at L end of block to R-leading seam, Flake.

Corner crack on L end of block

DBB

Crack right of One's a Crowd

Up and left onto the dished wall and sea of moss.

Start in Chimney left of Grey Arete, continue up chimney, to a slabby finish. Don't mind the moss, that rains down on you with any slight breeze. Claimed to have been climbed in 2018 probably more like 1960s when that kinda climbing was all the rages.

Pitch lengths are definitely inflated

Start: Up chimney just right of 'Sox Glo' and 'Poxbow'

1. 33m (6) The chimney is climbed all the way to the ledge.

2. 25m (6) The steep little 6m wall on the L to a large ledge. Move L and continue up the clean arete/rib to a small airy belay stance.

3. 32m (6) Traverse L (tending slightly down) past the chimney and around the exposed arete. Step across the chimney and continue to a roomy ledge and cave.

4. 20m (6) Crux pitch! Wander up through the easy cave/chimney to exit conveniently in the descent gully behind the Omega Block. Note the original 30m last pitch, reversed the last 4m of the traverse and climbed up the juggy groove to the top. This is very mossy and doesnt add much to the route.

Okay climb with a little bit of caving. 1) 21m (8) Climb Dummy bidder all the way to the top and then belay. 2) 18m (7) Head right at the top of Dummy bidder and make your way around large boulder. Belay behind the boulder. 3) 8m (8) Here is the fun part head up tricky wall and through the small tunnel. Belay after tunnel. 4) 12m (3) head up the wall and belay at Black Magic area and then walk off.

Poorly pro down low. Shallow open corner 3m R of oxbow. Up corner to step R onto arête at where cracks converge. Up to just below blocky overhang. Step right onto juggy arête and up to the top

Good first lead, well pro on good rock. Juggy rib 5m R of oxbow. Just left of narrow gully/crack. Follow rib just just under overhang. Join onto dummy bidder to finish stepping R

Rarely done but looks ok.

Start: Start 5m L of WR.

Starts 2m R of Drain Pipe. Climb the wide crack (on its R side) to the little overhang. Pull thru on the jugs (not protected) or toddle up R to good cams before stepping L onto juggy wall(long sling runners).

2m R drainpipes. Climb wide crack on its R side, pull through overhang and zoom to top

Stand start at near the decent tree, and traverse the entire boulder. About the same grade regardless of height above the ground.

Beautiful, easy face.

Stand start and climb the short face into the runnel.

Stand start with good holds, climb the wide arete.

Stand start with good edges, climb the face.

Stand start below the so-called crack-like thingy.

Around the right side of the boulder facing uphill.

Easy stand start. SDS goes at about V3.

The rib right of Hellas and left of the cracks on the front of the tower.

The left crack on the front of the tower.
