Sit stat with a sidepull/undercling and climb straight up the face to top out.

Stand start on the left of slab. Follow the flake to the top.

Start: Sit start on well chalked jug up to gaston hold pushing over the edge.

Start of the far right end, traverse to left using pockets and grooves for hand holds.

(Not the edge at the top) Good for foothold practice.

'Hands-free' Run very fast across the top of Andersens Consulting Boulder, kick off from adjoining rock and wall-run, Matrix-style, horizontally across the face of Peter Parker before leaping back to main boulder.

Start at right end of the boulder following the flake up to the top.

Some parts of flakes look really thin.

Stand start and climb the majestic grey and orange face. A worthwhile outing.

Stand start on a jug at the bottom of the crack and follow it to the top.

Sit start with a side pull on the large, juggy flake.

Sit start with a side pull on the large, juggy flake.

Sit start on the left side of the low juggy break. Make a big move to the slopey pocket and top out up big holds.

Sit start on the right side of the low break and climb up the line of jugs.

Sit start on input flakes just right of Bad Call. Move up left to slopey features and up on jugs.

Start on the jugs low on the break then up over the slopey features.

Wonderful wall climbing with a fair bit of air below your feet on several sections. Very Blue Mountains.

Start: Start 5m left of 'Giblets' as a short flake/corner.

"A most impressive crack which has been climbed by a very dubious mean. It will undoubtably be clibmed free in the future...". Ancient Gledhillian text. This is the climb that lends its name to this line of cliff. It takes the wide jagged crack which can be so easily seen from Flat Rock.

Start: Starts on the far right edge of the Clicke Cliff.

A slopey left-trending rampline starting in the middle of the Cut & Waste traverse line. Low sit-start then technical.

Sit starts just right of 'Sesame Superhighway' and climbs the series of jugs to a high finish. Descend via the righthand side.

Starts as for 'German Motivation' then goes straight up with a biggish move to good holds

Old school overhanging offwidth. Truly an amazing looking line. If you stand directly under the lip of the overhang, you're closer to that than the base of the climb!

Start: Starts 50m right of Pink Elephant at the right side of the sandy bouldering cave. Follow the hand-fist-offwidth crack that becomes a chimney through the overhang. Bring tubes, huge cams and the usual trad rack for the finish.

The corner which veers left then back right to the top. Harder than it looks and a bit vegetated.

Start: About 30m right of 'Etendard', in the gully formed by the 'Moral Vandal' block the gully widens to permit climbing on the left wall. About 15m into the gully. Guidebook editor could not locate this climb!

Not your average walk-in-the-park V1! 'Steep' - starting off the big 'hanging' fridge (a tad sandy) - then heading up via any holds of your choosing. Finish as for 'Fallen Cow'.

The arete leading to a mantle on the leftside of the cave. Start matching on the block, then head up via a 'rib' feature, finishing via a mantle topout. An easier (V0) version is to head left at the sloper (thereby missing out the rib feature).

When meandering to The Disgruntler, you may come across this exfoliating boulder. On north side, sit start matched in pocket with high right footer. One or two punchy moves.

A good route up a major water streak on far right end of crag 7m right of 'The Snatch' below a broken easy corner.

Starts on the chockstone down in the slot. Very pleasant right trending wall climbing with a punchy pumpy finish.

Start 2-3 metres left of McHammer at small orange scoop and orange streak below the horizontal crack. Climb directly up a series of the larger short and manic crack lines. A steep exciting end. A large lose block sitting comfortably at the top of this climb is tempting to use as a hold. The McHammer chains can be used after a short right traverse.

Grey slightly overhung gritty wall climbing. This climb is a very good warm-up for harder routes in the area at it is pumpy with no sharp holds. Originally a trad route.

Small north facing steep wall on terrace opposite Summa's a Bummer. X cracks on left side of wall.

Little wall to the left and in front of the main wall. Straight up via good holds to ledge. Up through orange scoops to juggy arete. Up and over the lip to the right to anchors.

Finger / corner crack immediately on the R side of the chimney corner.

Porly protected.

Start: Initialed with white paint. Up short corner, traverse about 5m right on ledge (at 2m). Up corner/ flake and wall above. Walk off.

Sustained steep face climbing, one of the better routes on the cliff? Starts about 5m left of "The Riddler". Delicately up the wall, traversing up and left on good break past 3rd bolt to good clipping stance at 4th bolt. Straight up past 5th bolt to rap station.

This easier LHV of Loiterer finally provides the much needed warm-up at the cliff. Start directly as for We Like to Watch, or climb in easily right of the first FH. Follow WLTW to its big half way ledge. As for Loiterer, climb diagonally left past 2 FHs to the guano stained ledge. Clip the FH up right with a sling or long quickdraw. Loiter as long as you like, before traversing easily left to the black groove using big underclings. Clip the FH and up to the anchors.

Up and right to break, right along break, up to next break, up to next break, right to gully.

Start: Start at 'Easy Arete'

Major wide corner right of Full Metal Underpants. It’s a great line, but most of us don’t own the gear needed to lead it. Take 1 x #3 Big Bro, Camalots 2 x #3, 3 x #4, 1 x #5, and a light rack of wires and small cams (or a top rope). If you’ve got the gear, and still want to do the climb, proceed as follows:

1. 15m Up easily to foot of line. Right facing fla ke to bushy ledges. Up to foot of main corner.

2. 20m (crux) Up, you shouldn’t get lost.

Reminiscent of Blimp at Bundaleer. To the right of the main Briggs Bluff face, the cliff curves around to face north west (overlooking Rose Gap), and diminishes in height. About 70m right of the bend is a major corner with a yellow wall on the right and a grey wall (undercut by cave) on the left. There is a 3m roof about 2/3 of the way up the corner. Step into the corner from the left, up and around roof, being careful of rope drag, then exit right on a ledge. Either scramble up right on jugs, or abseil 25m from tree (2m long sling needed).

A nice feature spoilt by a scary start and less than great rock. Take the steep right hand arete of the small buttress just right of 'Shades of Black'. Scramble in to start across choss from the right. Up arete steeply to the ledge and then up face above on jugs. To avoid rope drag you can split this into two short pitches.

Interesting wall climbing with much suspect rock. Starts about 10m right of Pining for the Fiords (7m L of KK) at the left most black streak that reaches the ground (flows out of a small wind blown scoop immediately left of a large pile of boulders). Up 4m to the small bush on right. Traverse left for 4m along the break then straight up the wall above to finish just left of the dead tree at the top of the cliff.

About 30m R of Right Crack is a deep chimney [the R hand of 2 chimneys on this cliff]. Climb the overhung stepped corner on the L side of this chimney.

Nice slab/wall climb. Over steep start, then balance onto slab and across to FH. Up corner, then up the line until another FH leads you into the top corner. Once you gain the arete it's a bit sandy to finish. Rap anchor is 35m from the ground, a 60m rope may not quite make it.

The next two routes are about a kilometre from No Gnus is Good Gnus. From the track junction above Wildebeest, follow the main track NW for 500m to an orange stone fireplace. Scrub bash north down into a gully then down the gully to the top of the cliff (10 min from track). The climbing is on the portion of the cliff to your right (facing out), and the best descent is at the far end. Cliff faces NW.

Start 5m right of the cave nearest the left end of the cliff (cairn). Up face for 12m to where it blanks out. Move left past loose looking flake, then up seam.

About 150m right of Détente and just right of a chimney corner is a thin left facing dihedral corner. Up this and straight through the bulge. (James lowered off half way up leaving the rope on the route, and Chris lead through).

Climb up the right side of Split Pinnacle through a bulge, then move left around to the front and up to a ledge. Continue up to the diagonal break that goes across the ceiling, head along this and onto the face, then move hastily to the top.

4m right of A Senior's Moment and 2m left of Easy Options is a major line on lichenous rock. Take one each of a Camelot #4 and #5.

1. 20m (Crux) Head up the thin crack until it becomes steeper. Move right and up the seam to a distinctive off-width crack that goes through the steepest area. Belay at a small stance 5m higher.

2. 12m Continue up the line to a small stance in the black right-facing corner.

3. 25m Head up the corner on the right for 4m, then up its right arete to a ledge. Move 2m right, then up the arete.

28 metres left of The Silent Miaow, and left of the centre of the cliff are some steeper, less broken walls before some overhangs. There are a couple of boulders leaning against the right side of the face. Climb up the left side of the boulders to continue up the right-leaning hanging corner line to a ledge on the right. Abseil from a small tree.

This is another major line, 6m right of Easy Options and has a cairn at its base.

1. 25m (Crux) Climb the difficult-to-protect right-facing corner, then continue up the major crack above to the ledge on top of Easy Options.

2. 25m Above are two lines. Climb the left one, which has great rock. When it finishes, head straight up the slabby face.

Approximately 30m right and uphill of Blue Sky Mining is a small orange corner with a thin pillar in it. Climb this to a bulge. Head left and then up the slab and pillar above. Follow the ramp right to a large ledge.

20m up right of Freestone is a black wall with an orange steak in the middle. Climb the right side of the wall until you can traverse left past the top of the orange streak to the point where the angle relents, then head up.

To reach 2001, walk left from the terrace where the previous routes start. Traverse up left to join Ground Control To Major Tom.

At the left end of the cliff there is a section high up with a couple of square cut corners and walls (most visible as you walk up to the cliff). Below these is an orange roof line above slabby rock. Start be low the lowest part of these roofs.

1. 40m. Easy line on left then up slab to the roof, follow roof line up and left to ledge, left on this to tree.

2. 10m (crux) Step left to thin crack, up.

3. 10m. Arête behind tree at back of ledge, finishing rightward.

Left arête of buttress 4m right of Blinded By The Moon. Arête past FH to ledge. Move right to parallel thin cracks, up these then back left above bulge to finish up middle of buttress.

Three metres right of Michael Collins. Up orange groove and crack through bulge. Up to next bulge, step left and pull through bulge. Take top bulge at seam near right arête.

2m left of ZG. Start as for Sea of Tranquility but heads up and right to FH. Up hard wall then twin seams above keeping left of Zero Gravity. A bit contrived.

Thin start with limited protection to break then more hard moves to seam and jugs. Up reachy bulgy wall to rap station on ledge.

Thin start with limited protection to break then more hard moves to seam and jugs. Up reachy bulgy wall to rap station on ledge.

A relatively serious and dirty undertaking up a prominent line. On the lower section of the upper cliff are two prominent diagonal lines. CZ takes the right hand one.

1. 25m (crux) From cave below line, climb wall to horizontal break. Right in this to diagonal crack. Up this to ledge with tree.

2. 15m Escape moss, off widths, overhangs and soft rock above by going up right on easy ramp!

More nice face climbing. The upper half is a bit hard to protect. Takes the left side of the wall around left of Stiff Little Fingers, starting behind the prominent small pinnacle left of SLF. Follow the series of cracks about two metres tight of the arête, then the scooped face above and slightly left (#1 flexible Friend towards the top).

Major buttress 70m left of Marmalade with a substantial tree at half height (landmark). Needs care with pro above tree. Crack in the middle of the face to horizontal break. Right to tree. Up and left to next break. Finish up left side of headwall. Belayed descent from pinnacle.

Sustained climbing up a good seam. Reach over the overhang as for Dixie’s Girl but then continue straight up thin crack & seam above.

Sustained. Crack in middle of wall right of pinnacle.

Excellent, steep climb up front of pinnacle at left end of upper cliff. Start in corner behind conifer. Go up right to foot of crack. Steeply up this and easier line above. Belay for descent.

Climb the undercut arete on the right side of the face 5m right of Judas Escargot. Then move left, and climb up the pale streak to the top.

25m left of Strictly Ball-tearer is a north-facing brown wall with a cave at its left end. Climb up the V-groove to a ledge, then head up the right wall.

An audacious arete about 10m right of Valencia. Climb the gully to gain the arete from the left side. Head up and rightwards to gain the arete proper and follow it with dramatic positions and only occasional trad runners.

Strenuous jamming. The crack in the centre of the orange wall to the right of the prominant prow (Cox's Orange?). 1. 18m The crack to the large ledge. 2. 14m Up the wall and through the roof to belay the bird poo. 3. 14m To exit, step down and traverse rightwards down and across the wall to the rock in the gully.

This classic short mutl-pitch is the most popular route at the crag. A great mix of gritty jugs and exposure. Take a bunch of slings for lassoing the jugs on pitch 1. Starts about 30m right of Triptych, at ground level on the right side of the Descent Chasm at a juggy grey rounded arete. 1. 35m (18) Up for 10m, step right then back left to surmount a smooth bulge. Up keeping to the left. Finish via a crack in the smooth wall just right and below a bush on the belay ledge. 2. 35m (19) Up ramp right to BR. Traverse 3m right to arete and up ramp diagonally left (as for Infinite Sadness). At top of ramp, step left to hanging prow which is followed direct to the top. Stay on steepest part of headwall for best climbing and pro.

Amazing wall climbing on the second pitch. Bring slings and a full rack. 1. 40m (16) Start up Flying Feeling and move further right (8m in total) to the next crack. Up crack and prow then left and up past tree to base of mighty headwall. 2. 40m (19) Blast straight up the outstanding overhung headwall finishing just right of vague prow. Gear is spaced on this pitch.

A tree-free start that evens out the pitches on this classic route. Start on top of the highest flake right of the original start. Surmount the overhang (crux), step right then face directly to join crack and first belay of La Petit Mort.

A better more direct finish - the natural line. From first belay continue as for Die Young but tend left to large chickenhead (ignore traverse right). Steeply overhanging groove to more chickenheads then wide groove to ledge.

Orange corner with blocky roof about 6m left of 'Prison Camp'.

1. 25m (19) Up corner, hand traverse left onto small stance then step back right and through juggy roof crack to small ledge. Be careful of some loose looking blocks in the roof crack.

2. 10m (16) Bulging crack on the right wall above belay ledge. At first opportunity traverse right onto small ledge and excellent big thread anchor around bollard. Rap from this or scramble off right along ledges to reach Battered Flakes anchor.

Up crack right of NW

Small corner 2 metres left of second main corner. Line fades as it curves right to final bulges

Mantel just right of slabby corner. RB. Up to corner and up to pillar. Finish as for LU.

3m right of 'DIBEAPCP'[12978997].

Belay bolts service this climb, which are around 5 metres back from the top of First Offence.
