Nodes em Knocklofty Reserve

Knocklofty Reserve is a series of walking tracks above West Hobart - Mount Stuart . It has multiple sand stone cliffs and caves scattered throughout the Reserve, varying in rock quality.

A SANDY sandstone wall with some unique holds and moves on it. Although it is abit sandy the climbing is good.

Follow line of slopers up to the base of the FInger crack, continue to climb upwards slightly to the left of the crack.

Instead of going up the finger crack on the original route, keep traversing out left until you reach the jug/pocket in the middle of the face, climb directly up from there.

A line of cliffs and a cave with some unique features varying in difficulty and steepness, often with sloppey, sandy top outs.

Short steep little climb, follow the cliff line around left past Le grand pere wall and COVID cliffs to reach this route.

The short route to the left of the corona.

Start at the bottom of a thin crack thing, work your way up a series of holds before traversing left and mantling onto the large rock at the top of the wall.

Starts left of Ataraxia Can be topped out halfway up by walking across a ledge to the left of the crag.

easy climbing with a strange top out onto a slopey slab

A short route to the right of Ataraxia, barely worth climbing

A large cave with a low entrance which opens up into a large room. It consists of boulders of varying lengths and difficulty, all are overhanging. VERY VERY SANDY - Rock is shockingly bad in places.

A short hard route starts on the ledge to the left-hand side of the cave(left-hand side when looking out of the cave).

Starts on the start hold of caveman at the far left of the cave( left side when looking out of the cave) then proceeds to traverse across good holds to the start of The Kraken.

Start up the base the of crack on right hand side of the cave ( when looking out from the inside) continue up pinches and underclings into the roof crack. End on very large jug near the other end of the cave.

Hang start on low jugs in the middle on cave, traverse left low, go up vertical wall, move through jugs to large crimp and match large jug at top of the cave.

Starts low right-hand side of the cave (Right-hand side - when looking out from the inside). start under the block on the right then proceed to climb out from under the block using a small crack and other holds, then once you reach a major horizontal crack, traverse left on worsening holds before finishing at the base of Kraken.

The first climb you'll encounter in the cave. Hang start on block with letters BT-GM. With aid of kneebars and toehooks traverse right on holds at lip until easily up scoop. Top out by grabbing tuffs of grass or be sensible and downclimb.

Climbs the first section of Kraken on pinches before roof crack. Ends at start of the roof crack.

Climbs Filipenduluos into Octopus, then into Kraken. If The Kraken is possible this will make for a very hard and sustained link up

start below "Overlooked" in the horizontal roof, then power into the cave through the roof, then finish up Filipenduluos

start below "Overlooked" in the horizontal roof, then power into the cave through the roof, then finish up Filipenduluos

The big face which has a sick compression Arete on the right-hand side. Some of the best rock in the Kocklofty reserve!

A committing layback and compression moves up sharp arete. Dont let the grade fool you, youll need a couple mats. Might be harder for shorter people.

Blank face with committing moves at a reasonable height.

A unique wall with multiple large bulges running through the top of it. Small sharp holds make for fun climbing. There is Boobook Owl that lives very close to the wall. Ideally try and street clear of this wall, But if you do decide to the climb here, be very mindful not damage or distrub the area too much.

Start in between large pocket and the crack. Make one big move up to a side pull Crimp then another move too a small Jug.

Feckless Starts to the right of Razor. Start on Very small crimps, move up through more small crimps and finish on Sloper.

An extension for both Feckless and Razor. once you reach the top of either Feckless or Razor continue to climb up and over steep bulges before topping out. Is high so bring lots of pads. The grade is an estimate.

Two small caves, both with varying rock quality and climb difficulty.

A nice warm up. shouldery move to flake, match the lip, continue rightwards to the top.

A hard and classy route even with its close proximity to fat finger. Start on the same start holds as fat finger but break left immediately on small left trending flake to the lip. Mantle and continue to top. Avoid using holds/Block on fat finger off to the right when climbing and mantling as this is its own isolated route.

Low shouldery moves from the start holds of “fat Finger” into the start of “members only”. Continue up members only to the top.

Low start followed by a series of engaging shouldery moves to the top. Top out up and right of fat finger

Starts 2m right of “members Only” on the slopers below the hole. Traverse the lip of the cave leftward using nothing underneath the lip. Top out as for “Devils Den”. Starts further right than the topo suggests.

A steep overhang with a wide variety of holds and features.

Start on obvious jug towards the upper left of the face, make a move too a big crimp then continue up the lip using the line of jugs before performing a mantle.

An Awesome nearly full span compression line requiring some serious power.

Layback the edge from down and left of FW start, all the way to the edge of the FW stand start.

Arete eliminate(variant of Fantastical Wham) Hard line using everything other than the Arete.

Slab into a 2 ish meter overhang at 4m hieght

Climb the 4 m slab, then through overhanging slab at the top. The coolest way is to dyno from the top of the slab to the lip, adds a grade or two if done this way but much cooler.
