Start at the extreme left hand end of the North Wall below a water polished buttress with a small roof at 10m. This is about 200m downstream of the red track. Climb to the roof and get some threads. Pull over this and up to a tree belay.

Nice low angle trad route with mostly good gear. Should be more popular - possibly the best easy trad route in the gorge?

1. 20m (18) Bridge across from the large boulder until the subtle corner crack can be gained. Up this until it ends, then traverse left to flake and up it to left end of small ledge and rap/belay bolts.

2. 25m (18) Continue up trad protected corner crack until it ends then step left and delicately up to a small tree and bizarre but bomber rap anchor.

The grotty slab next right.

(18M1). "See topo" they said......this route isn't shown on The Crag topo! Details unsure, however a likely situation is that it shares the start of Red Heat before traversing right, sharing the end of the first pitch of Evolution. Keep going past Evolution's belay to to bolted belay 10m right on the same ledge (shared with Jump Master and 'The Bridge to Total Freedom'). Up the next pitch and a half of Reason for Man (passing a couple of bolts), before traversing left back across 'The Bridge'[724942089] and into Red Heat for a pitch or so to gain the large 'Evolution cave'. 'Old and Grey' then traverses left a pitch to join Scorpion to the top of the wall. Note that Old and Grey predates all the other routes on this wall. A great effort for the time, but unlikely to appeal to anyone sane these days.

Short access pitch to reach Jabba the Slut & Death Starred starting at rap anchors above Polenta Pumper on Big Greenie ledge. Old FH, sling around tufa and new FH through steep bit. An orange fixed line hangs over the lower part and then heads left via the start of The Force.

2 bolts up the slab and to the base of crack and then up the obvious crack, back right to lower offs.

5m right of the arete project is another punchy little sport route.

Left line on the slabby arete down and left of the cave, sharing the first two bolts with Unknown 1. Stick clip the 1st hanger and a bit run-out on the slab. Single carabiner lower off (second anchor bolt needs a hanger).

Righthand line up the pumpy arete, sharing the first two bolts with Finger Pockets. The grade is a bit of a guess. Single lower off and requires a careful down climb to clean due to dramatic swing possibility.

Juggy, left-trending line of holds, starting just right of the through-the-cliff cave on its eastern side (climber's left). Difficult start for the grade, even if the tree is 'on-route'... Great variety through the pitch and rewarding views. Good rings at the top. Can be top roped.

Ascends the western side (climbers right) of the walk-through cave, starting on its right.

Starts at twin cracks. Crux is high above the third bolt as you move up to the rings.

Start just below the S shaped gum tree. Be prepared for committing moves all the way to the top.

Marked start behind two black boys. Up the corner to the top of a block, then the vertical water chute (crux), being careful with gear (#4 camalot is handy). At the top of the chute step delicately right and continue up the slab (runout and ledge fall potential), diagonally right to the chossy corner and a ledge (can setup hanging belay here if rope drag is getting too much) . Short wall above this to top.

Start at the nice looking arete about 8m right of BB (4m left of CR). Head up the easy arete to the crappy yellow rock. From here traverse 10m left under the smooth bulge, over the grass tree, and across to join BB at the corner. As for BB to the top.

This route is exceptionally wandery and not recommended without double ropes and lots of extension of gear. The original intention was to tackle the bulge above the yellow rock directly, but the first ascentionist got scared and bailed left, making for an even scarier ascent notable for stupendous self-inflicted rope drag.

Start and finish as for Hollow Flake, connecting the cracks through the obvious weaknesses to the right. There’s good gear to be had, so commit to the slab

Starts up the obvious left hand crack. Work your way up the corner until you reach a horizontal break that heads out towards a large black boy. From here its straight up to top out. The large blocks half way up the corner sound hollow. I dont think you could possibly move them, but it does sound a little un-nerving.

The obvious crack in the middle of this great little outcrop. Natural protection,fixed rope to belay off (Installed 2018).

Left line

Slab with solid pebbles. Shares DRBB with Holy Shit It's a Cat.

Three RB to shared DRBB. Tends left through Pockets.

Obvious bulge to DRBB

Up the slab, using some key pebbles at half height, to a tricky stance immediately below the third bolt.

Thin moves to gain the crack line.

Easily up ramp to stance, then up through bulging off-width. 4.5 or larger Camelots useful.

Up the dead end gully just past Sponge Bob Wall. Starts through caves. 6 UB to DUBB

Start left of buttress. Climb through huecos to DCB. BEWARE left chain has fracture.

Up the corner crack, protect with small wires

Up pebbles to halfway ledge, then middle of blank slab above.

Far left line, trending left. Run out.

Well spaced bolts in centre of the wall.

start left of the tree. Use the tree for as long as your legs can reach. Pull up the ledges to a tricky top. Can you do it without the tree?

Start: Start in dark alcove/corner. Take full rack of cams, including something big. Up to foot-ledge with sapling at 3m, then sustained layback up flake corner. Crack widens towards top. Continue up to ledge with tree.

Rap off this.

Start: 20m past big orange pinnacle.

Starts 2m left of 'Jimmy Joe' on Orange Leaning Tower. Up juggy scoops past 7 rings. Step right to reach Crack of 'Jimmy Joe' after last ring. Cruise up crack to anchors. Take a couple of small 1 and 1.5 Friends and some 2.5 to 4 Friends.

Stright up thin face, onto slab then up. 7 RB's to lower offs.

Start: 5m lt of TGD.

The 1st route on 'San Pedro' Terrace.

Start: Ascend the ramp up to the launch pad or come in from the right and do the "Bard traverse".

The left most route. Up the slab and out the corner to anchors just under lip of roof.

Start 4m right of NHJT. Directly up thru series of cool slabby mantles. 4 RB to finish under roof on shared anchor with NHJT.

Start in corner 15m left of the actual Rave Cave. Climb corner crack to rest. Continue tentatively up wall passed a number of spaced bolts and a badger or two.

May raise a few eyebrows. A warm up of sorts. The short slab bolted on lead on the very left side of cave. Climbable in all weather.

Bouldery thin start, to some reach moves on big holds. 3 RB's to lower offs. 2m left of diagonal crack.

1m right of F, trending right following line of bolts. 4 RB's to lower offs.

Climb through weakness and right side of cave over bulge to the top. 5 RB's to lower offs.

Start as for CG to break, then directly up the middle of wall.

Start at short seem. Head up seem then tend rightward up wall to anchors as for BL

This route required more battery power to bolt than the hubble telescope has ever used! Start: Just right of the Off width corner. Climb slab past 4 bolts to reach flake. Continue up wall past a few arête moves to gain anchors under roof. There is a decent link up that starts up Ectasia for a few bolts then steps left and finishes up SHC and goes at about 20.

Drank the slab,

Drank the slab,

Drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk.

'The Slab' to the right of LwC

The crack line, behind DtS. Finish as for AT P1.

A part route, but OK if you want another 18 to do...Up left of crack to ledge.

Th right arete. Start at arete for full value.

Just right of arete, obvious vertical crack with good holds to its left.

Start: 12m right of previous climb, Right of corner.

Classic bridging and laybacking up corner.

Start: Up corner.

Original name was offensive and was thus changed.

A corner crack on upper ledge. Scramble onto to ledge from either side to start. Rap from tree.

Start: 30m left of GINMD.

Original route name has been identified as being offensive and was thus changed.

Open corner.

Short route with some powerful and technical moves. * The last carrot is almost too run out, this note will be removed when extra bolt is added*

Follow bolts up to DBB. 1st bolt is high so make sure your spotter is watching.

Straight up face between Lay Back Bertha & Twins.

Same start as Gravity. Tends left of bolts.Good climbing all the way to the top. You walk off the top so there is no belay rings atm.

Good climbing up Badgerys Lookouts major corner crack.

Step off the large boulder (or off the ground if you have fingers of steal). Balance up the areve and finish at shared anchors. Short. First route on the small boulder at the bottom of the descent gully

1m right of the trad crack.Pull over the lip and trend left. The second block. Updated 2017 - harder after a number of key holds pulled off.

Off balance, mean and thugish. use anything you like, twist and turn, pull through the bands, finish at the right hand anchors. Start 1 metre right of Shallow Grave.

Start at the far right of the crag in the cool little gully. Up the middle of the little wall. Hard start, cool holds to finish.

Starting on top of the block. Start up through the ledges into a side pull and some crimps. Lower offs are just over the top.

Stem the crack, then move up and out onto the face. Finish at lower offs over the top. Dont be fooled by the double bolts on the face, there is still one more move!

A fun little climb with plenty of matching on ledges. Finish with bold move to lower offs.

Great trad climbing up this juggy crack. Finish with a lay back and mantle to a great belay position. Take a few no. 3 cams for setting up belay. Watch some of the smaller edges below lay back may still be a little brittle.

Clip the first two bolts from the ground to avoid swinging. Heel hook for all you are worth. Avoid anything that is not a massive hold (everything else my well give way!) and thug your way to the top. Enjoyable, surprisingly.

Straight up the middle using cool fins. Starts with a high right hand to pull onto the wall. Keep off the crack to your left

Right hand crack. Pull with difficulty over the mini over hang on snappy holds. Old style wilderness trad route.

Straight up the front of the boulder using compression slaps.

The chimney start. Get right inside and go up to the top without using any of the juggy footers around. Actually a bit of a lark.

Up from a needless sit start staying right of the crack line and topping out. Stay away from flake to the right, it could break.

Looks easy, doesn't it? Then you realise it's stacked hand and fists to start, with a lovely drop onto a hard granite slab if you do anything wrong, and the crack widens as you go, making it a full offwidth experience with the extra spice of possibly having to roll down a hill if you fall. Easy enough if you layback and avoid using the crack, but around V1 if you go at it full offwidth style.

Up through the face of the boulder left of 'Booark! Jesus!'. Looks very easy but there's not much there and the mantle is techy for the grade.

Sit down, grab the big rail, walk up the boulder. If you just use the slopers it may even be V2.

A proud line striking upwards seven metres above the ground and over a roughly 10 metre, wretched fall with a good chance of a roll down the hill afterward. There are no bolts on this climb, and the first ascensionist requests you keep it that way. The lower crack will take some natural protection, but peters out at around the four metre mark. You may be able to fiddle something in above the shaky flake. There's a shaky flake, by the way. Two cruxes - the start and the little rooflet. Don't go left or right at the rooflet unless you want to shake out. This is the main line - start from the ground up a bit of a compression boulder problem, not on top of the boulder in front! Top out, enjoy the mantle.

Fridge hug your way up using both aretes.

Straight up the crack. Overhung, but far easier than it looks.

Head up the slab.

Up obvious corner.

Was previously a trad climb but with dubious pro (and tree belay), now (2012) fully bolted with lower-offs.

Not too bad, start: 2m left of T, below dirty corner crack.

Up the crack (4 RBs plus natural gear) to tree belay.

Start: 2m left of PN.

Haul onto wall, then edge up arete passing 4 RBs. Double RB lower off.

Start 4m L of PN. Up past 5 RB's to Lower offs.

The 3rd route from the right, starting at the arête (Red Room).

Fabulous wall and small roof, the best 18 in the area. Start 5m L of TaHT below and left of FH. Up past hangers and small cams or wires in flaring crack to U anchor, starting at a fixed hanger. The 2nd FH has been replaced with a RB, and now climb past U bolt to 2 RB Lower offs shared with 'Silver Fox'.
