V10 | ★★★ Rocket Man
'L'Homme Obu' standing start from the big break on If The Shoe Fits. Power out to the LH pocket and finish up Rocket Pants. PA: Fred Nicole | 3m | The Balkans | ||
32 | ★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds
4m R of Evil Wears No Pants. Futuristic. Two hard boulder problems to classic upper wall. Finishes at anchor on right shared with Gladiator. PAL: Lee Cujes, 2010 | 23m, 10 | Mt Coolum | ||
V10 | ★★★ The Plunge
Far right cave problem. Can be done in a number of different ways including a crazy dyno that could potentially send you rolling down to a rocky but somewhat refreshing swim in the ocean. | Black Cave | |||
V10 | ★★★ Butchers Choice
Sit start in the back of the cave on jugs. Climb line of pockets, underclings and flakes out of the roof finishing up the bulbous crack. PA: Dave Jones | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | |||
32 | ★★ Staring At The Sea
Start as for Microwave, head steadily left across Point Break and Tugboat and finish as for Tsunami (not Tugboat). Monique PA: G. Miller, 1998 | 25m | Blue Mountains | ||
V10 | ★★★ Stoplight Arete
Sit start/crouched on slopey edges and up pinching up the arete. PA: Oliver Miller | 4m | Halls Gap Area | ||
32 | ★★★ Punks in the Gym
The easiest line up a great, albeit only mildly overhanging wall. Probably the world's first 8b+ / 5.14a and ahead of its time in Australian terms - it took nearly ten years before an Aussie (Stuart Wyithe) repeated it! Despite masses of beta available on the internet, it still sees very few quick ascents, hasn't been onsighted and is still regarded as somewhat of a testpiece with a redpoint crux far above the technical crux and accounting for many an accomplished climber. Many argue the route is easier than when Wolfgang and Stefan Glowacz did it in the mid 80's due to the increased size of the crux glue hold (the notorious birdbath). For a while considered "only" 31, it seems to have re-consolidated at 32. Start as for Punks in the Gunks. At its traverse, instead go up, L and up, up, up to chains at the top. PAL: Wolfgang Güllich †, 1985 | 30m, 7 | Arapiles | ||
V10 | ★★ Hard arete
Good start hold, up to thin crimps, ooze up to arete and then top. | 2m | Cedar Creek | ||
V10 | ★★ Massive Attack
Start on obvious jugs in the small cave, huge move to slot and up. mattias braach-maksvytis Chris Beers PAL: Cam Taylor | 4m | Bangor Blocs | ||
V10 | ★★★ Turbo Guns
Start on the big break then LH cross-over to pocket and bust RH to break. Match and then long move with RH to gaston the slot, LH up to the 3 finger pocket and jump around the bulge, control the swing and finish matched on the jug just up and right. Australia's first V10 and still the benchmark. PA: Steve Bullen | 3m | Nowra | ||
V10 | ★★★ Chaos and Disorder | Killarney Heights | |||
V10 | ★★★ Fundamental
Stand start matched on low rail then climb up and top out. | 3m | Pierce's Creek | ||

32 | ★★★ Sheitan Sabzi
Start with the boulder problem of Evil. After the hard clip go left across a series of bulges. After some intricate betas and a few kneebars, you link into Esoteric Agenda under the top crux. Finish as per EA. Epic power endurance test piece. One of the purest pieces of climbing in QLD for chur. Equip: Dan Gordon & Alexander Turnbull, 4 En 2020 PA: Khosro Hashemzadeh, 30 Mayo 2020 | 20m, 14 | Mt Coolum | ||
V10 | ★★★ Fight Club

V10 | ★★ Mungo's Roof
Popular. Sit start on good flakes at the lowest part of the roof and climb the line of flakes, pinches and edges all the way out to cruxy moves at the lip. Finish at the big jug on the face or top out. PA: Mungo | Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton) | |||
32 | ★★ Whistling Kite
An amazing, proud, inspirational line. The thinnest of cracks bisects this imposing face. Even the ants at Frog fall off this thin face! There was some controversy over the decidedly French style of the FFA, but no one can question the talent and skill required to ascend such an amazing line. Bolts and small wires can be found. PA: Paul Smith, 1988 | 30m, 3 | Frog Buttress | ||
32 | ★★ Alpha Leather
Has a very sordid history, as holds and grades have come and gone. Start under the obvious blank arete, just right of 'Junket Pumper'. PA: Garth Miller | 15m | Blue Mountains | ||
V10 | ★★ Silent Bob | Forestville | |||
V10 | ★★★ Shape Shifters
Straight up the front side of the boulder just before the end of Phone Sex. Sit start to big jug, heal hook and big chuck to crimp out left. pull hard to the high gaston and up. PA: Chris Warner, 2008 | 5m | Gibraltar and Corin Road | ||
V10 | ★★★ Smouldering Jawas
Rad sit-start on block under roof to small undercling, then punch to cool looking flake. Sooo bloody awesome and burly. Make sure you have a fair few pads. Used to be the Jango fett project, but our authenticity checks clarified that Jango was never actually on tatooine we think. Unless he went there on a holiday at some point, but seriously who would go to mos eisley for a holiday, so it's kind of unlikely. PAL: Sam Bowman, 13 Mar 2015 | 3m | White Rock Conservation Area | ||
5.14a | ★★★ 惊雷 Thunder Extension
Equip: James Pearsons PA: A Cheng | 42m, 17 | 阳朔 Yangshuo | ||
V10 | ★★★ Animal Train
Sit start the steep crack. A test piece for well 'ard crack climbers. You can try and layback/undercling this, but if you aren't Arnie or can't jam you're likely to fail. Eat your wheaties. King line of Cohiba. Follow the crack through the roof and up the slab to finish. Hopefully you have the perfect hand size. PA: george feig | 4m | Pierce's Creek | ||
32 | ★★★ Attack Mode
The best bits of White Ladder. Historic, the first 32 climbed in Australia by an Australian. PA: Rob Lebreton, 1994 NA: Rose Weller, Jun 2021 | 9m | Nowra | ||
V10 | ★★ C.O.A.T
Sit start on slopey crimp. Move straight up via sharp LH crimp to top on slopers. PA: Matt Wrigley | 3m | The Balkans | ||

V10 | ★★★ Cave Club
Start as for 'Apfenschaukel', but head right through a big gaston move. 2nd ascent was quickly made by Toni Lamprecht in about 5 minutes! PA: Klem Loskot, 1999 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | |||
V10 | ★★★ The Shining Path
Very short power route mainly on underclings ending at the padlocked chain. Given 30 by Matt it was downgraded by Stuart Williams on the 2nd ascent to 29. Now a V10 boulder problem. PA: Matt Adams, 1993 | 7m | Norton Summit | ||
V10 | ★★★ Spooged
Sit start to Travis starting from a matched crimpy undercling under the roof (same as for 'Re-Detonated'). | Forestville | |||
V10 | ★★ Gone for Borneo
This climb has a confusing history which had an original description of '??' . General consensus is to start at "Bulge" and traverse left with hands going up over the lip at "The Rick White Problem", then back down at "The Plum". Ends with mantling and topping out as per "Gaston". A power-endurance test-piece PA: | 5m | Toohey Forest | ||
V10 | ★★ Jake's Problem
Stand Start. Start on the black rock a few metres in from the lip on the left side of the cave, at a bit of a ridge 2 metres from the very back. Use Gaston like sloper and right hand pinch with feet in roof. Climb out into Fire in the Hole and top out the same. Originally V10 turned V8 and back up to around V9 after two holds broke. | 5m | Oatlands | ||
V7 - 10 | ★★ Crimp slab
Sit start and up very thin crimps on near vertical wall Regrade proj due to holds exploding. | 3m | Cedar Creek | ||
32 | ★★★ Mr Line (link-up)
Supposed to be the easier variant to Mr Tickle, some people lacking adequate forearm fitness actually find it to be harder. Start as for Mr Tickle but traverse left and finish up Hairline. PA: Lee Cossey, 2001 | 18m | Blue Mountains | ||
V10 R | ★★★ American Siege | The Balkans | |||
5.14a | ★★★ 小丸子

{FB} 7C+ | ★★★ Weichei | Rocklands | |||
V10 | ★★★ Steve Austin
Whilst made to look easy by some, this climb can be bicep destroying. Bring out your big guns. Sit start under roof, progressing directly up through pockety edges and using the undercling with your left hand to do a powerful move directly up to rail. Any other sequence not involving left hand on the undercling is one of the Steve Austin Variants. PA: Paul Westwood, 1995 | 3m | Forestville | ||
V10 | ★★★ Tree of Life
A real hidden classic. Sit start under the steep wall on the right side, at the big undercling. Head up following some slopey ledges, then swing across to left side of bloc, tricky tension moves guard the finish up then onto the arete. Highly recommended to scrub the top, as this bloc doesn’t get much sun. PA: Stephen Waring, 7 Jul 2017 | 4m | Glenrock Lagoon | ||
V10 | ★★★ Lovers Tiff
Start on the chalked up jugs, traverse left to pockets out and through the middle of roof to finish above the start. Mattias Braach-Maksvytis Aurel Gelot PA: Chris Webb Parsons, 2007 | Balmoral | |||

V10 | ★★★ Life During Wartime
Mega. Stand start in the pit down right as for Day of the Ape. Up left as for DOTA to gaston on HD. Epic shoulder press down into start of straining rail finishing via whichever of its variants pick your fancy. Quite a few tough moves in a row. Worth extending left for the full experience. | 6m | Camels Hump | ||
V10 | ★★ Penis Cling Low
Same as Penis Cling, but starting with right hand on the undercling to the right of the left undercling. 🚫 Originally done as a 'no heels' problem. | Forestville | |||

V10 | ★ Bowels Of The Devil
L0, R3, L4, R5, M5 Hard press move made slightly easier by starting using small foothold high and left the start hold. Just keep reaching. Looks unfeasible but works. PA: Peter Balint, 1995 | Forestville | |||
V10 | ★★★ Love Gun
Probably the best route of its grade in Sydney! Start right of Stringybark on little shelf left of the corner. crux at start using a undercling then climb through a variety of holds to a hard drive-by moving rightwards and then up into the back-breaking press into the roof and a quick campus through to top-out glory. | Alfords Point Bouldering | |||
V10 | ★★ Umbra
Start as for 'Collision Course' but after you gain the large rail continue right across some slopers to finish up 'Not Drowning, Waving'. | Mt Stapylton Campground | |||
V10 | ★★★ The Rack
Absolute cracker of a one move wonder. Start on incut edge in middle of wall. Do a big move to good edge, match, then finish up an easy mantle (as for 'Kiss the Witness'). Definitely harder for those challenged in the ways of the span. PA: Sam Bowman, 22 Mayo 2020 | Terrors Creek | |||
32 | ★★★ Vertigo
Finally freed but still popular as an aid climb, hence double bolts at the top of the wall. The impressive overhanging crack on the valley side. Up the crack to the fork and take the right-hand crack to the top. Also popular as a commercial abseiling site. PA: Norm Booth & Lincoln Hall, 1972 PAL: Daniel Fisher, Sep 2019 | 36m | Orroral area | ||

32 | ★★★ Friction Addiction
Was previously known as 'Motor Finance Wizard project'. Start up Thriller boulder, but instead of cutting left into Evil at the ledge, head right and up the blankish face. Huge throws on slopey holds guard the crux. The top is exciting and ever so pumpy. PA: Matt Schimke, 2011 PAL: Sam Bowman, 2014 | 23m, 11 | Mt Coolum | ||

Sit-start with right hand on small scallopy undercling (SGF low start hold) and an edgy pinch with the other.
