Sport climb on hangers follows the obvious line up the slab on easy holds before turning vertical. A tough finish guards the chains.

About 8m to the right of Lightning. Some reachy moves.

The climb to the left of the cave, It might be wise to stick clip the second bolt if not confident.

Right of WY, start off boulder, done originally pulling on aid bolt to overcome undercut buttress. Step left and up wall direct. Was 21 M0, now free. Chain belay with single carabiner.

The bolted face left of Freudian Slip.

1. 30m (23) Climb orange wall on good in-cuts past an area of friable rock (was done at 21 with 2 aid bolts) and go up left on grey rock to belay ledge and rap chains. This is a sport pitch.

2. 20m (19) Step right into Freudian Slip and follow main crack then left groove at top to chains. Trad gear to 2”.

Apparently bolted but never climbed by Peter Wehr. Now readily accessed by Climbing AIDL, making a great second pitch, or rap in off bolts above GOW.

10m right of LIS, climb crumbly rock to excellent overhanging corner and shared chains. Accidentally retro bolted by Barley, who then discovered it had been climbed by Carrigan in 1997, and some bolts were removed. Studs with nuts are remnant.

Start as for DF but step right to arête. Continue up black face past many bolts before veering right to arête at top. Chains.

Great sustained climbing up arête and face to right, but poorly protected with minimal worthwhile gear between the BR until the last 10 metres. However it was originally climbed with only 3 BR and TheFA does not wish the route to be retro bolted. Start right of arête to first BR, then up to arête at roof. Follow arête before moving back right to face and corner , the follow corner until you can step left into another crack that leads to chain anchor shared with EOE

An imposing black corner with BT clearly initialled at start. Described as a serious lead in the Colyvan guide. Trad belay.

Ring bolted route 4 m right of where track meets wall. Choss to roof then up face passing spaced large ring bolts. Chains to left after topping out. Some trad gear could be placed in horizontals, but that wouldn't help the runouts that much.

MIXED route. FHs to chains with one small wire needed. Climb yellow crumbly face past bolts then left through roof and over grey rock (wire) to ledge. Small wire and finger sized cams useful to supplement last bolt which has a sleeve sticking out 1 cm.Chain belay. Start 4 m L of revival block and just to left of 15% direct start.

Start down, right of Revival. Follow bolts up yellow rock through overlap just left of arête to chains

Slab to low roof. Tricky moves past second bolt, then continue up to the right of prow, moving right at top to shared anchors.

The sharp overhanging arete 15 m right of waterfall. Start on ground, not up ramp. Optional small finger size wire or cam after last bolt. Optional small wires to start, or use a long stick. Walk back to DBB.

Lay away the thin seam 5m right of Fools Gold. Start on ramp. Optional cam or nut in pocket between first and second bolts. DBB

Stand start with the obvious finger lock crack, set up feet and big throw to small edge, a bunch of compression moves and good bouldering. A sit start goes but adds alot more harder climbing, yet to be unlocked

Sit start with underling.

The direct eliminates a couple rock climbing moves!

Stick clip first bolt. Start on right side face, climb around blunt arete to undercling seem following U bolts to top.
