Voies dans Pox Crag

"Totally Worthless" - Rod Young (1994)

Chimney.

Easy chunky moves up the side of the cave then a desperate thin runout above the carrot bolt.

Evidently climbed previously in the dark ages, evidenced by the rusted out carrot.

A poxy Chunder route. The arete 1m left of Gestapo Wall.

Start 2m left of gestapo Pox underneath poxy jugs. Up to ledge and nose to top.

Short poxy and full of scum. Start 2m left of Dead Cat. Up wall trending left. Exit at top just right of the nose up there. A good grovel on the rounds to exit.

Named for the deceased feline rotting at its base. Start 10m left of Pox on a Hot Thin Roof at thin crack.

Start at the sandy beach, up through a veritable minefield of the sussest rock you may ever find to reach the main ledge. Gingerly move out towards the nose then through more suss rock to find the good hold around the nose to get scramble up on top of the nose and out.

A roof climb equipped with hoonkas (big farkin buckets!) Start under the overhang. up the orange crud to the good rock. Under roof to lip and out aroundlip to the small cave. Up corner to the top.

A roof climb. 3m right of Pox On A hot Thin Roof. Up the choss to dyno out roof and up left and finish as for Pox On A hot Thin Roof.

Start 2m right of Out Of The Blue Into The Pox. Out and around the roof and up to the top.

The black coloured wall left of the crack. 2 carrots.

Well it may have been a good climb once, unfortunately a lot of the face has flaked off and more is ready to go. Dangerous! A shame as there are some really unique textures and holds on this blackened wall.

A classic crack.

Wall and roof right of Death, bad pro.

Chunky bouldery start over a series of ledges to the big cave to catch your breath then power on up to find the good holds in the vertical crack then move out left on the ledge to find a spider cave pocket to haul yourself up for a big finishing move.

3m right of The Great Gastric. Grovel up the V shaped groove.

Arete on right side of The Great Gastric. No bridging onto other wall.

God save the Queen, if she ever tried this one she would need good fingers and strong finger nails. Start about 1.5 meters right of the large V groove of the Great Gastric. Up to the bolt near the slope then straight up to top.

Bog it down man and blow it out your sox. The middle of the wall right of Mega Pox Wall.

A nifty little unit quite awkward. Start 1m in left from corner. Up past two rotting carrots.

Start just right of the corner opposite Poxy Loxy.

Right of Pox Route. Two meters left of the arete. Up just in from arete trending left at the top.

Start under the arete right of The Smell of Dead Pox. Up arete blowing it out your backside on the way up.

A girdle traverse of Pox Buttress. Start in the corner at mid height to the right of Poxy Loxy. Head for the ledge on the arete and stay on that level until the last climb on the buttress head up this to top.

Start about 1 metre right of Pox Buttress. Straight up to resting ledge. A one move wonder if ever there was one.

Start about 1.5 metres right of Annette (Pox Free). Straight up to bolt above horizontal break and continue straight to top. No devious leftwards steps onto the resting ledge allowed. Protected by an ethical bolt. This is a bolt that you can slide out if it offends and slide it back in if you want to live a lot longer.

Right most route on Pox Buttress. A couple of meters right of Strenuous Tenuous Turkey Route. This was the first line climbed on this piece of rock. Fixed hanger on top probably rusted away like most of the bolts on this crag. Straight up wall for the full tick but you can pike off to the left at around grade 19.

Start on the buttress right of It Don't Mean Lots Unless Its Got Pox at the thin seam. More of a top rope or boulder problem but was climbed like a route originally. The first version moves to the left and then back into the crack to gain the top. Bullen & Hill added a variant which forces you to only use the seam rather than the piking step out to the left. This one is HARD (26?).

Further still around. Nice slight ramp with delicate features. Don't use the chimney.

A very short climb with potential to lengthen and upgrade. Start low on the jug with a foot up on the underside of the overhang, complete a few moves to match on the tiny ledge feature.

Start matched on the big jug on the right then move up left to the ledge, work across to the left then top out. !!Don't use the rock slab that protrudes out just above the start holds, it is loose and could easily fall.!!
