Noeuds dans The Underworld

Mostly steep sport climbing though some of the original lines may need some trad gear. Shady, so generally cool in summer and cold in winter, though well protected from wind.

Unknown first route, seems to be about a 19. Has not had much traffic and lots of loose blocks.

Excellent, and unusually steep for the Blueys.

Start: Start towards the left end of the elevated ledge.

Start: Start 4m R of JC. Powerful, bouldery with a few tricks to be found

A few meters right of Public Enemies. Apparently one very hard move. Bolted by Vince Day

Climbing the bloc/fridge feature on the underside of Gravel Rash. Will be a compression special

This is the splitter crack out the humungous roofs. Very well protected with various sizes of cams. Has a double ring bolt lower off.

Up GR for about 8m, then head 10m right along the break/wall thing out the huge roof to the lip. The gear is mostly bad old bolts and pitons, with perhaps some trad and 1 or 2 new bolts where the new lines cross the traverse.

Start: Start as for 'Gravel Rash'.

Few meters right of Gravel Rash. Up steep scoop to base of roof. Bouldery through roof then head right to Assassins/Hashish final boulder. Bolted by Zac Vertrees. Ben Cossey has temp bolts going direct out the roof. Stay off them, they will not hold a climbing fall.

First route to start on right side of cave. Scamper around blunt arete to start, trending up and right toward lava rock roof. Funky moves through roof to good rest then gear up for the crux through step prow. It might be the second time you go feet first on this climb. Hard for the grade.

Start as for Assassins, climbing through the first lava roof. Instead of going into Assassins final roof crux, head right along break to final little gate keeper moves. A great new addition to the crag. Named after Matt's dog Sadie who sadly died a few days after scoping it out with him.

Tackles the obvious prow near the centre of the wall, then through the roof and finish along left at the lip. Has an fun final move.

Start up Mississippi Moonshine then head across left through juggy but surprisingly punchy roof to join Assassins at its final rest and crux.

Start up Mississippi Moonshine, do its undercling crux, then step left and join Back to the Underground for its final crux.

Start 3m right of the prow and climb the black shale tufa feature, then trend left through the roof and back right to finish over the lip. Back jump to clean.

The very steep and impressive line 5m right of Mississippi. Its hard! Bolted by Vince Day

Start as for Sack of Woe, then left to very steep prow. Joins the last moves of Up Jumped the Devil.

4m right of Up Jumped the Devil. Climbs straight up. Nowhere to hide on this. One of the best bouldery routes in the mountains. New sequence makes it a bit easier than the FA beta.

Bouldery start off the diving board. Grungy top section.

Start up the bouldery start of The River Styx, traverse about 8m left to finish at a U-bolt and fixed wire just up on the headwall.

The long traverse starting as for The River Styx, then finishing at the anchors of Prohibition. Great jugging along the break.

A few meters right of Odyssey/Styx etc. Right trending line with hard moves on mono and gnarly edges and no particular finish (at halfway break?). Bolted by Macca Macpherson

Start on obvious little prow after walking through the ferns. Heads left through scoops and hard moves to finish up high on nice looking headwall. Bolted Matt Norgrove

Start at prow through ferns. Up steep, right trending climbing to ledge (27 to here). Then blast out big holds and big moves in roof to a jumpy crux at lip (careful with belay). Then climb to top of the cliff.

As for Chulahoma to ledge, then head further right under roof to next line of bolts. Funky climbing to make it through roof and around lip. Grade is a total guess. Tom was working moves and had no real sequence sorted. Went up for another working burn and just climbed the whole way through. He went back a few years later and couldn't figure out the sequence that worked and it all felt hard.

Start: Directly up the blunt arete. edit: no info is known about where this route is.

A bouldery little route in a small amphitheatre up from the main crag.
