Just west of decent gully. Start at obvious large pocket. FFA: 24 6월 2023 | 14m | |||
17 | ★★ Keep on Rising

20 | ★★ Leisure Suit Larry
Right of obvious offwidth and left of Melodrama. A powerful delicate move down low with the crux on finger holds up high through scoop. FFA: 23 3월 | 17m | |||
17 | Melodrama
A little runout to start but then easy climbing. If you are feeling strong you can finish with a long hard move to pull up level with the anchors (add a couple of grades) or you can just clip the anchors from below. 2RB's to 2RB anchor. Start: Start 20m down and right (west) of the bottom of the 'Lookout' 'Access' 'Gully' on the rock shelf directly below the lookout and the well brushed streak. FA: Jason Atkinson / Lee Walker, 2000 | 10m, 2 | |||
17 | Drama Lama
Links 'No Drama' into 'Melodrama'. Start: Start as for 'No Drama' but veer left at the 1st RB and continue up 'Melodrama'. FA: Jason Atkinson / Lee Walker, 2000 | 9m | |||
18 | No Drama
Delicate climbing with a thought provoking crux at mid height. 3RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Lee Walker / Jason Atkinson, 2000 | 15m, 3 | |||
18 | ★★ Flame of Anor
Left of BITS. Start up slight left of bolts before drifting right and powerful crux move. Interesting variations of moves through the block makes this an interesting climb. FA: 28 10월 2023 | 21m | |||
18 | ★ Blister In The Sun
A hard move up the initial face is followed by an interesting slab towards the top. Finish direct or chicken out and take the easy option by moving left. 6RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Jason Atkinson / Lee Walker, 2000 | 18m, 6 | |||
16 | ★ Rising Sun
Links the 1st half of 'The Furburger' into the 2nd half of 'Blister In The Sun'. FA: Jason Atkinson / Melissa McNie, 2005 | 17m | |||
14 | ★★ The Furburger
Climb the crack right of 'Blister In The Sun' and finish at the anchors of 'Something For Kate'. FA: Jason Atkinson (solo), 2000 | 16m | |||
12 | ★ Something For Kate
A nice easy well protected climb for the beginners. The crux is getting established onto the wall just above the overlap at 1/3 height. 6RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Jason Atkinson / Ian Ezzy, 2002 | 15m, 6 | |||
Thompson's Sunrise The Block Environs | |||||
17 | ★ Loose Lips Leeroy
Tricky start , then make you way up the wall, move left when you are above the rock scar. Final hard moves on exposed left nose, reach up high above the crack. 4RB's to 2RB anchor FA: Jason Atkinson, 2003 | 15m, 5 | |||
17 | ★ Burnum Burnum
3RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: John Koster, 2005 | 8m, 4 | |||
13 | ★ Great Warrior
As the name implies be prepared for a battle in order to overcome this imposing line. Start: Start as for 'Burnum Burnum' but move right and up after the 1st RB. FA: John Koster, 2005 | 8m, 4 | |||
14 | ★ A Fish Called Miltski
Climb the wide corner crack at the back of the gully just left of the obvious orange streaked wall. It may be wise to supplement the RB's with natural gear. FA: Lee Walker / Jason Atkinson, 2003 | 12m, 3 | |||
11 | The Gorignak
Easy lead for the kids and Old Folks. Took me two attempts! "It's a rock. It doesn't have any vulnerable spots!" JASON NESMITH (Galaxy Quest) FA: 21 1월 | 10m | |||
18 | ★ The Edge
An unusual climb and well worth doing. After a hard start to get established traverse right along the front edge of the block before mantling to clip the anchors. 4RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Jason Atkinson, 2003 | 15m, 4 | |||
18 | ★ Layback
Layback the right hand side arête of the block, mantle and finish at the anchors of the 'The Edge'. 3RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: John Koster, 2000 | 7m, 3 | |||
20 | ★ Loop
Climb 'Layback' but instead of mantling to finish , reverse climb 'The Edge'. To make up for not having to clip any anchors, to successfully tick this climb you must dismount the block and place both feet on the ground in an orderly fashion. Jumping off and rolling down the hill does not count. 7RB's. FA: Alec Landstra, 13 5월 2020 | 11m, 7 | |||
21 | ★★ Bilbo Baggins
Start on the undercut right hand side of the block. It's a very bouldery start to pull on and lunge out left to the flake. Be prepared to fall off. 3RB's to 2RB anchor FA: John Carvin, 2003 | 7m, 4 | |||
Thompson's Sunrise Balrog Wall | |||||
18 | ★★ Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Although not hard this climb has a couple of tricky sections that are not initially obvious and require some thought to overcome. At the 6th RB move left and find the hidden pocket around the arête which allows you to get through what appears to be an impossibly blank section. It's still not over as the last move to clip the anchors is no give away. 7RB's to 2RB anchor FA: Mark Ashmore, 2005 | 16m, 8 | |||
18 | ★ Old Timer's Disease
Start as for 'Weapons Of Mass Destruction' but after the 1st couple of moves once you can reach the block, traverse right before continuing up the wall. Though the rock on the bottom section is not great the climbing on the upper half is good and quite thought provoking. 7RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Tony Lindley, 2002 | 16m, 8 | |||
23 | World Gone Mad
Start: Left hand end of cave. Hard start and keep cranking for the first three bolts till it eases to slab moves at top FA: Rick Phillips, 2000 | 16m, 7 | |||
21 | ★ Wasp welts at one o'clock
Start: 3rd Climb from the right starts on blunt arete. Lots of jugs down low enjoy the rest at halfway, then suck it up for the techo slab at top FA: Jamie Mennie, 2000 | 16m, 8 | |||
20 | ★ Rule Brittania/Zorro
Start: Right hand end of cave, just left of 'The Balrog'. 'Steep' and juggy to start - can haul up face or do a little roof start on left. Followed by hard slab cruxes at top. Tough for the grade. FA: Tanya Greeves, 2000 | 16m, 8 | |||
20 | ★★ The Balrog
Good technical climbing with a couple of hard moves and a tricky slab finish. Note that 'The Balrog' and 'Shelob' use the same holds towards the finish. 6RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 16m, 7 | |||
20 | ★★ Shelob
6RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: John Koster | 16m, 7 | |||
Thompson's Sunrise Isengard Buttress | |||||
12 | ★★ Philosopher's Stone
Climb the face past 2RB's then traverse right along the ledge past 2RB's to the blunt arête, now up the chimney past RB. Step left across the void and up to anchors. 5RB's to 2RB anchor. Be careful not to climb too high in the chimney or you'll find yourself above the anchor. Start: Start in the middle of the small face on the left hand side of the buttress. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 15m, 6 | |||
18 | ★★ Isengard
Climb the left hand side of the arête past 3RB's before moving right onto the wall and then up. The rock at the start is average but the main wall is reminiscent of an easier version of 'Vanderholics'. 8RB's to 2RB anchor. Start: Start 3m right of 'Philosopher's Stone' just left of the arête. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 23m, 9 | |||
23 | ★ Isengard Direct
A direct start to 'Isengard'. Stick clip 1st RB. Start as for 'Super Creeps' but after the 1st RB move left and pull onto the face and past 3RBs before joining 'Isengard'. 8RB's to 2RB anchor. | 24m, 9 | |||
24 | ★ Super Creeps
Stick clip 1st RB. Climb the dubious looking steep rock which isn't as bad as it looks. After the 1st RB pull right onto the face and continue directly up. 8RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 24m, 9 | |||
22 | ★ Drive-In Saturday
Start as for 'Forth Dimension' but traverse along the lower line of RB's to the arête. Place a long sling on the belay and 1st RB of 'Forth Dimension'. Continue up the arête past 2RB's before moving left to finish up 'Super Creeps'. 8RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 24m, 9 | |||
17 | ★★ Forth Dimension
The climb starts on the ledge at the 2RB belay inside the cave on the right hand side of the buttress. However, its best to just belay from the ground, walk in along the ledge and place a long sling on the belay to avoid rope drag. Traverse left past the upper line of RB's to the arête. Continue up the crack before moving right onto the wall. 8RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: Rod Young, 2002 | 24m, 9 | |||
Thompson's Sunrise Orange Streak Wall | |||||
23 | ★ Stranglehold
7RB's to 2RB anchor. Start: Start in the cave just right of the orange streaked wall at the level of the 1st RB. FA: Rod Young | 19m, 8 | |||
21 | Burpin McGlurkin
Climb the boulder at the bottom of the access gully. From the top of the boulder move left and pull onto the hanging arête. Traverse left past 3RBs then continue up. 6RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: John Koster | 17m | |||
19 | ★ Smirkin & Lurkin
Start as for 'Burpin McGlurpin' but after pulling onto the hanging arête continue straight up before moving left to the big blob hold. Finish by running it out to the anchors. Some may feel a little nervous getting from the boulder onto the hanging arête as the 1st bolt does look a long way down … so take care. 5RB's to 2RB anchor. FA: John Koster | 15m | |||
16 | ★ Gherkin The Merkin
Stick clip the first RB. A difficult but enjoyable introduction to the climb is followed by what appears to be a very difficult move. On closer examination however this is circumvented by the use of a manufactured pocket that looks like it was created with a jack hammer not sculptured with the precision of a 12mm drill bit. This 'Thank God Pocket' is actually all that is left of a misplaced bolt placement. If you do the climb by stemming back against the opposite wall to bypass any difficulties the grade is about 16. 5RB's to 2RB anchor. Start: Start 2m up the access gully. FA: John Koster, 2000 | 10m, 6 | |||

21 | ★ Tomahawk

FA: John Koster, 1998 | 8m, 5 | |||
17 | Little Big Horn
Starts on the left side of the descent gully. Up the orange ramp to the high first bolt. Good moves through the cave lead to an awkward and pumpy finish. FA: John Koster, 1998 | 8m, 3 | |||
16 | Sitting Bull
Starts to the right of the descent gully. Enjoy the sloperd. FA: John Koster, 1998 | 8m, 4 | |||
Little Graham's Boulder | |||||
22 | ★ Gripping Yarns
Start on the left hand edge of the boulder. Stick clip the first bolt and a low bolt assists with keeping the rope out of the start moves.. Thug your way up the start or have a technical brain about you... Finishes on the same anchors as Cheesy Noblicker Set: Rick Phillips FA: Ryan | 5m | |||
22 | ★ Cheesy Noblicker
An enjoyable short route with an interesting dyno on great rock. Pity it's so short, add a sit start to make this climb a little more worthwhile. Has been rebolted and has new lower offs FA: Paul Westwood, 1991 | 5m | |||
21 | ★ Shy Romantic
Short but worthwhile, add the sit start for the full tick. Has been rebolted with new lower offs FA: Graham Fairbairn, 1991 | 5m | |||

23 | Nimby

21 | ★ Alex The Kidd
FA: Ant Prehn & Alex Simon, 1990 | 12m | |||

17 | ★ Woderwick
Start left of the cave as per BD. FA: Sue Young, 1994 | 15m | |||
15 | ★ Big Dreams
Up beside the cave (on its left) as for W, hand traverse across the ridge. Left foot high step onto the lintel to get that 2nd bolt and up you go. FA: Sue Young, 2000 | 15m | |||
12 | Linkedin
Up first 2 bolts of Lucifer then trend left into bolts as for Big Dreams. Couple of longer draws useful here. It's just an excuse to fondle the jugs at the top of Big Dreams FA: Simon Vaughan, 2 1월 2022 | 15m | |||
11 | ★ Lucifer
Climb into the cave then up around to the right. Then follow the ringbolts to the top. First bolt is quite high so be careful. FA: Sue Young & Catherine Eadie, 1994 | 15m | |||

Thin and balancy slab wall right of Barbie Twins. FA: Rod Young, 1994 | 15m, 6 | |||
17 | ★★ Hang On
Start on the very right end of the terrace next to the big chimney. Climb up past a tricky move at the first bolt, then try some left edge bridging at the 2nd roof to overcome the crux, then cruise your way up (yes 3 roofs on this one). FA: Garth Miller | 15m, 6 | |||
11 | ★★ Rod Boner's Glory Hole
"There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance, there's a hole in the wall where you put your..." Santa Claus is coming down this chimney to find out who's naughty or nice.... a modern classic or an aquired taste, there's something for everyone in Rod Boner's glory hole. Careful of loose rock at the top of the chimney, there is no where for your belayer to run if you dislodge one. The horrific glue drips in the back of the chimney are from an attempt to stabilise the chockstone at the top. Take care. FFA: Rod Boner & Derk Shpangler, 26 6월 2019 | 20m | |||

17 | ★★ Mad Hatter
Start at the end of the Turtle Wall (as for Turtle Wall route). Trend up and right for 3 ring bolts then conquer a massive exposed traverse around right that keeps going until a belay station at the end of Ten Gallon Rehab (sharp arete). Technically easy but not for the faint hearted! Be aware of rope friction and communication between belayer and leader on this one. FA: Rod Young & Sue Young, 1999 | 20m, 12 | |||
21 | ★★ Maddest Hatter
The extension to Mad Hatter with exciting, committing and exposed moves. FA: Rod Young, 1999 | 8m | |||
25 | ★★★ Cowboy Junkies

24 | ★★ Healing Your Hate
Start as for Ceiling Your Fate though go right at the roof and through the anchor of Orca. All trad, avoid the temptation to clip bolts of Orca. In the roof theres a block with jugs on top, i chose to avoid this because of unknown rock quality, climbing the seam below this. Make your own assessment FA: Max Gordon, 14 6월 2020 | 20m | |||
18 | ★★★ Orca
Starts on left side of arête. Straight up to finish. Optional friend no longer needed to protect start. FA: Ant Prehn, Rod Young, Craig Paul & Trudy Bretherton, 1991 | 25m, 8 |
