This climb lies about 45m from the LH end of the cliffs. Follow 5 bolts up the overhanging arête to a lower off. Quite a pumpy little route. R.Parkyn, Aug 95.

Start up Bondage and Discipline until the roof. Then climb straight up on good but well spaced holds (a little harder if your short) & finish at General Benefit chains.

A classic of the grade. Climb up flakes/jugs till about two meters from the roof. A tricky section leads into the roof. Then suck up some air and crank around on big side pulls and glassy feet. Super warm up. For those whom it's not a warm up it could be 24.

Between 'Unzip' and 'Winkle' climb the face past 4 bolt runners to a rap station. An excellent warm up route. G.Phillips, Oct 95.

Straight up centre of slab, 2m R of 'Twilight Groping'. 5 UBs to chains.

Best done as one pitch however, the easier first pitch to this ultra classic is an excellent route in its own right.

1. 25m (22). Straight up the face just R of Fiddlesticks. A crimpy crux to get off the ground, then flow up the rest with pleasant moves.

2. 25m (25). Continue up the line of bolts to the anchors. Crux is just past the third bolt.

Climb the easier angled arête immediately to the R of 'Lost Souls'. Start in the diagonal crack about 1m to its right, on less than perfect rock. H.Jackson, May 94.

A long pitch of overhanging climbing, starting at the left end of the wave platform seperating tha Paradiso proper from the Aquaphobia Wall. Long reaches between incut holds characterise this line, which has been known to shed the odd piece of rock. Popular warmup for the harder routes, or a greatpitch to work in its own right. DBB.

Start 3m R of 'Tour de France', towards R end of central slab. Follow L line bolts after 3rd bolt. Trend L at top to chains shared with 'Les Grands Ensembles' & 'TDF'. 9 UBs. NOTE: top section (to chains) is more technical due to block with holds shedding (May 2017).

Classic face climb, one of the most popular at Hillwood.

L-most end of main slab, 3m R of 'Bastard Cancer'. 5 UBs to chains.

On the face to the right of Drama Queen.

Nice face climbing.

R-most line of bolts on slab, 2m R of 'Eye Bolt Route'. 4 UBs to DUBB.

Arête just L of main slab. Nice rock. Bouldery start, can pre-clip first bolt from easy corner to R. 4 UBs (5 if you use last UB on 'Death Unto Racists') finishing at DBB shared with 'DUR'.

This has now been bolted.

Ascends the blunt arête at the R end of the cliff. Try climbing it blindfolded! 4 UBs to chains.

Popular route with a testing initial wall, followed by a dynamic crux. If you make it through all that to the ledge at 3/4 height your doing well. Its in the bag.....isn't it? Fully bolted with a DBB.

Start in the wide crack right of 'High Noon' (or climb directly up the face) step L onto the face, interesting climbing past U bolts to DBB. E. Bradley, A. Williams, J Spong, 2004.

Good thin climbing up face to L of 'The Blind Leading The Crippled' arête. 4 UBs to anchors.

The classic of the wall with constant good and varied moves.

Nice warm up, starts behind a thin tree.

Fully bolted now

Start 2m R of 'Don't Buy a Cheap Ryobi'. 4 UBs to chains shared with 'DBACR'.

L-most line of bolts on slab, starting just behind the small tree. 4 UBs to chains shared with 'Twilight Groping'.

The classic of the crag

Classic of the crag. Sustained interesting climbing the whole way. Excellent.

Great moves on good rock up through two bulges that each have their own intricacies

Absolute classic. Up the arête to the left of Brown Madonna. Consistent, exposed, technical moves. Double ropes can reduce drag, but aren't mandatory.

Delicate climbing. Starts 2m L of 'Bastard Cancer'. 4 UBs to DBB shared with 'BC'.

Excellent face climbing just left of the arete. Originally led on gear.

Lovely climbing passing a series of small overhangs on the right side of the wall.

The bolted arête to the L of 'Shock Wave'. Easy start leads to some balancy moves up to the top. 3 FH to lower-off. S.Young, Jan 07.

Goes over the small roof and shares anchors with Decree of Love.

Classic introduction to pumpy and steep sandstone climbing. The anchor clip can be a bit of a stretch.

Follows a faint grey streak.

Starts at small white streak below overlap. Shares anchors with Arse About Face.

Short climb, good for beginners

A clean fully bolted slab route that offers four excellent pitches of varied climbing. The best approach by far is to abseil in from the top, although it is also possible to reach the climb from the ground at a significantly harder grade via either Hootin and Jivin or Lubricity.

Access: The top of the climb is directly below The Bullshit Factor, the prominent overhanging dihedral on the Suzuki Complex. It is reached in a 40 minute walk from the Sleepy Bay car park, via a rough cairned track that follows the Skyline Traverse. Once the track levels off (where it's capped by a few large, mossy, distinctly green boulders) scramble down the left side and keep towards the right at each fork, staying along the base of the Suzuki Complex. Once you reach the obvious dihedral formation of Bullshit Factor, go 25m directly down the slope to find a bit of static safety line.

Four abseils down the line of bolts will get you to the bottom of the climb, which is a small stance with a DBB at the base of a short corner, about 20m from the ground above an overhanging wall. The first two abseils can be combined in a 60m rope stretcher from the LOWER set of anchors on the slab, but make sure you knot the ends of your rope! The ground can be reached with a 35m abseil from the anchors at the bottom of P2, or a 20m abseil from the anchors at the bottom of P1.

Gear: 2 x 50/60m ropes or 1 x 70/80m rope, 12 draws.

1. 20m 17, 5 bolts. Follow the slightly right trending line up the slab to a TBB on the brushy ledge.

2. 30m 18/21, 9 bolts. Up the groove above the belay, stepping left onto the slab where the groove steepens and disappears (18). Alternatively, the groove finishes with a very thin exit onto the slab above (21). Continue up the easy slab to a DBB at a small stance.

3. 35m 18, 7 bolts. Climb the featured wall between the white water streaks, continuing up the easy slab above to a DBB at a small stance.

4. 30m 18, 8 bolts. Pad up the polished water streaks to glory, passing a small bush and overlap to a DBB.

Start just left of the crackline. Crank leftwards onto the overhanging rounded arête, then up and over bulge via pockets and horizontals to slab (DBB). Lower off, or step right to finish as for Welcome to the Dark Ages.

Excellent steep climbing with an exciting finish up the arete.

Short easy climb, great for beginners or first time leaders. 3 UBs to DUBB.

Best route on the wall, third from the left. Classic line on top quality polished rock, sustained face climbing to the anchors on the hanging block.

One of the bolts for the loweroff is shockingly rusty and needs to be replaced.

The best route at the quarry? Continually interesting climbing up the groove feature and bulge. 4 UBs to anchors.

On the left side of the the steepening wall behind the big tree root. Thoughtful and fun.

Entertaining climbing up the arete with a cut loose move to boot!

Central line and a Hillwood classic. Balancy face climbing that keeps you thinking until the top.

Steep, sustained climbing following the incipient crack. A classic of the crag.

Some thin moves through the first section, followed by pleasant climbing up the head-wall. Very worthwhile.

A rising traverse starting on the far left on excellent holds.

Slab and headwall just to the left of where the track meets the cliff.

Line of bolts on the far right of the main face, just left of the wide crack.

Another excellent route. Sustained face climbing leads to a cruxy move pulling through the small roof at the top of the cliff.

Start at slab just right of enormous right facing corner, directly below a disused falcon perch high in the corner. Follow corner above, then before reaching the falcon perch make exciting moves up and left across the overlaps, and continue up the wall above to the lower offs.

Start as for 'Oh Joyous Lobotomy'. At the 3rd UB head R past a final UB to anchors. The FH between the 3rd & 4th bolts doesn't offer additional protection and there's less rope drag if it's not clipped.

Start immediately R of PST, climbing just to the L of the UBs. Exciting climbing with some thin moves. The crux clip is now a little cruxier (Aug 2017), having lost a handy jug, adding a grade (from 19). May still shed a little rock so belayer beware!

The thin bolted pinnacle

Starts on the left side of the wall, with the crux moves coming in the initial steeper section and a thinnish move at the very top.

1. 25m 24. Crank through the overhang at the base of the NE arete. Continue up the arete and the wall to its left.

2. 10m 20. Blast straight up from the belay ledge then trend right via the last U to finish on the right side of the arete. No natural gear required on either pitch.

Slabby face at the far right hand end.

What a surprise - thin start followed by good climbing to the top.

A Sand River classic. Steep and athletic climbing, with a dyno, multiple heel hooks and an energy sapping finish.

The easiest sport route in the area, technical face climbing.

Start up the prominent crack line. A tricky layback sequence leads to the overlap. Make a technical traverse 4m left then finish up the pillar / arête feature to DBB.

Starts two meters right of Puberty Rites. Follow the bolts to a gentle finish.

LHS of the main cliff, climbing just R of the arete.

Link up. Start up 'Jesus Built My Hammer Drill'. At 3rd UB, head L to join 'Drilling In The Name Of' at its 4th UB. Finish at 'DITNO' anchors.

One of the classics of the crag. Long and pumpy, on positive holds, until the final rooflet is mounted and the mood of the route changes. The initial roof is regarded as the crux, but the final rising traverse to the DBB is a heartbreaker.

A long and varied pitch up the right trending corner system that seperates the main overhanging portion of the Paradisio (on the left) from the more sympatheticaly angled wall (on the right). DBB.

Steadily increasing difficulties up the steepening technical wall.

The line up the middle of the main overhang, right of fire wall.

Start as for 'Serial Driller' but follow R line of bolts after 3rd bolt. 8 UBs to chains.

Shares 2 bolts with Phoenix, before cranking through the right side of big roof to a DBB.

The second pitch is a Pipes classic. Steep, featured, and pumpy.

1. 15m (18) 5 bolts. Follow U bolts to large sloping ledge and DBB. Likely a sandbag at 18, but interesting and well bolted.

2. 15m (22) 7 bolts. The main attraction. Follow the black streak and gently overhanging arete. Pumpy, safe, and technically interesting.

There is a lower-off at the top of the 2nd pitch. With a 60m rope and care, the belayer can lower the climber to the ground, then abseil to the ground using the climber as a counterweight.

Bouldery start as for Glowing Embers, but continue straight up through overhang to a slopey anchor clip.

A 'mostly' sport route offering three varied pitches.

1. P1 is a fully bolted slab (16).

2. P2 follows loose right trending diagonal line (camming devices) before traversing to bolt on left wall (17). Up to belay.

3. P3 is brilliant fully bolted grade 19 climbing on great rock.

Excellent climbing up to rooflet. Crux near the top of the wall.

A highly entertaining climb with terrific positions. Start at far right hand side of the cave. Bouldery start up the corner (stick clipping the second bolt is the way to go) then traverse out left along the very lip of the roof. Follow the thin crack past the slab and the final overhang.

Popular face climb starting at the large diagonal crack on the right hand side of the wall. The name refers to the large tree which used to mark the climb, this recently toppled over into the amphitheatre. Jug up crack to high first bolt, then follow the crimps to the top.

The direct line of bolts branching to the right off Heaven Can Wait at its 4th bolt.

Thinner, more technical and equally as good as Heaven Can Wait, but compromised by the ability to step into the crack of Latex Evening to gain a no hands rest. Superb climbing.

Nice climbing. Start up right facing corner (shared with DITNO). Where DITNO moves right, continue straight up the line. Clips the same bolts as DITNO. No chain or lower-off, but easy to traverse 2m left or right to an adjacent route.

Steep and exposed. Up corner system to level with anchors on Deputy Warden, then blast up the steep wall to the right.
