Canberra Molonglo River Sewer Wall Sewer Wall | |||||
20 | Let's Elope to the Sewer
A few good moves down low deteriorate to the usual dirt and choss. Up the groove right of Sewer Side past 3 bolts (crux at second) then up (wires and friends) and left to join Sewer Side at the top. FA: John Churchill & Mike Peck, 1991 | 30m, 3 | |||
21 | Rising Damp
A three pitch excursion out over the tide and the turds, which also provides access to routes on the left-hand side of the cliff. Piranha carp await the hapless leader or second taking a tumble on this one.
FA: John Stone, John Churchill & mike Peck (alt.), 1991 | 55m, 3, 9 | |||
Canberra Molonglo River Sewer Wall Cave Routes | |||||
20 | ★★ Gas Mask
Easily up trending right starting from the 3rd (right) belay bolt. The 3rd bolt is an easy reach up from the cave. Crank through the roof, staying as far right as you dare, then up the headwall (move right then heel hook left) to the middle DBB. Named for a wonderful smell that was blowing in from the sewage plant when I finally freed the headwall (solo). FA: Chris Bennetts-Cash, 2014 | 20m, 5 | |||
Canberra Molonglo River Sewer Wall Septic Sector | |||||
21 | Just Hold It In
I went back to bolt this & couldn't find it again. Maybe it only comes out in Summer. Or maybe it was too hard for me when I tried to free it on a microtraxion rather than using ascenders to pick the line. My earlier notes wete: Essentially a V1/2 boulder problem on rope. Get established on the wall, throw for the good left sloper, stabilise on the right pocket then find a better pocket around the corner. A balancey reach up the arete leads to an easy scramble to the top. | ||||
20 | ★★ Prairie Dog
Up easily to start & slightly left. Find a right hand crimpy side pull on the otherwise blank face to make the ledge. Up from there through the rooflet then some awkward moves to the chains. FA: Andrew Stevenson, 2014 | 10m, 4 | |||

20 | ★ Romance in Cow Paddocks
Climb up to the niche beneath the overhang, then left and up. | 10m | |||
20 | ★★ Blurred Vision
A substantial rockfall in 2017 removed most of the original first half of this climb. The route is still climbable although may have some loose rock and dirt for a while. Start on the undercut wall behind the tree. Up the wall (leave the poor tree alone) to a ledge. Up the groove, then left onto the arete and up. A good finish on big buckets. | 13m | |||
20 | ★ Robot Monster
A body length of good moves. Climb up to the ledge, then up the right wall of the chimney to another ledge then finish up to the right. | 12m | |||
20 | ★ Dead Fish Crack
Start at the left end of the main wall beneath the lookout, a couple of meters right of the corner. Head up and left on the ramp, pulling through onto the wall above past an old piton, and up through the flared hand crack. Above here it trends up and right to the bolted anchor shared with Standing Room Only.
| 13m | |||
21 | ★★ Standing Room Only
Start left of the small tree beneath a rooflet. Sustained face climbing the whole way, with a difficult crux, leads to a roof guarding the anchors. When pulling the roof, be gentle with the jugs, which have some fracture lines - belayer take precautions. | 13m | |||
20 | ★ Closed Circuit
Start is marked with a white "CC" beneath the blunt arete to the left of the large overhang. Move from out under the starting rooflet then continue up the arete with some tricky moves to get onto the face above. | 11m | |||

20 | ★★ Tahini
Boulder to the ledge, then up the steep wall. Squirm into a short corner, mantle the ledge then step right and join the end of Bosch Imperialist up to the lower-off. FA: Mike Peck, John Stone & Ken Luck, 1991 | 28m, 11 | |||
20 | ★★ Bosch Imperialist
Start off the boulder and 'slide' up the smooth grey wall to the ledge. Up the funky corner and steep wall to a good stance, then mantle leftwards onto ledge.

V2 | Fusion Dance

V2 | Karin's Tower
Sit start. Pull on at the middle of the boulder with side pulls to the left and right. The start hold on the left is a lip near the crack running horizontally across the boulder and right hand is on the slopey side pull. Then up the boulder moving to the left in the first move then topping out on the right at the sloper. There is a rock on the ground that will make a nice starting seat under your pad. FA: James Rann, 19 May 2018 | ||||
V2 | Snake way
Sit start. Start on the lower left of the boulder in the crack and follow the line along the top of the boulder to top out in the centre. Watch out for whoever lives in the crack FA: James Rann, 19 May 2018 | ||||
V2 | Dead Man's Rest
A cool and shady problem. Start with left hand on the left arête and right hand on the right arête. There is a tiny foot hold down and to the right. Bump up both arêtes and take advantage of any feet you can find to top out on the pinnacle FA: James Rann, 26 May 2018 | ||||

V2/3 | ★ Problem 8
Sit start then head left around the arete on small holds and incuts. The crux is getting up over the ledge at mid height. Roughly v3 if you eliminate a few holds. | 4m | |||
V2 | ★ Ascension
Difficult to grade. From a standing start, use the lovely hand-grip at shoulder height, place your feet at either side as high as you can get them, and dyno to the second ledge above your head - that is, the higher one. While it takes some strength to accomplish, much more of the climb is about trusting you can do it and won't body-slam the rock. FA: David Nott, 2011 | 4m | |||
V1/2 | ★ Problem 12
Stand start. Up the right side of the boulder using the crimp then trending left to a rail and up. | 4m | |||
