SDS middle of the face via shelves

SDS Corner crack

SDS crack

SDS Right crack

SDS Left crack

Easy under vertical face.

Face.left of the arete with poor feet to start. Has been done from a SDS but better without.

SDS The short narrow face immediately right of Oude Kriek started by laybacking off the right edge of the wide crack.

8m right of Zhiguly Ekstra Alus is a square cut face. SDS the short face left of the arete.

SDS Tackle the front of the arete direct.

SDS wide corner crack immediately left of the sharp prow of Polygamy Porter.

SDS hug the short double arete

Thin vertical seam. SDS start sitting on the block at its base. Can SDS below left on Capital Winter Skål if you must start from the ground.

SDS Narrow face starting sitting on the block.

The grassy crack between this and Oregon Hefeweizen has been climbed from an uncomfortable SDS squeezed between the block and the wall. Only being noted for completeness and not worth mentioning ever again...

SDS crack

The main face of the wall on the rock platform north of the main jumping rock.

The corner to the left of the rope, just south of the main jumping rock. Start in the middle by finding your way with pockets, then moving up to a scary mantle over the bulge to top out. Good luck finding your feet!

2m left of "Diaphoresis". Direct up wall.

This is the low level traverse, not possible at very high tide or if the sea is too choppy without wetsuit boots. A delightful way into Seth Zawn from the North West end traversing left to right through a series of awkward overhangs and corners. The water is just deep enough to drop carefully into on a warm day.

A left to right girdle traverse of Seth Zawn starting as for Diamonds but climbing higher terrain and continuing around the corner to finish at the top of Pigface.

Starts 3m right of “Falling Rock”. Up blocky arête staying right of the dark water marks. Avoid bridging.

The big overhang.

The right hand side of the short wall (containing The Real Thing) over the pool, start under the slab just right of centre, pull up onto the wall and step left onto a flat ledge. Continue up directly from the left end of the ledge through the protruding cap above.

4m left of the start of GITM pull onto the ledge above head height and proceed directly up the narrow buttress between the 2 shallow chimneys without deviation or recourse to the chimneys.

On Kong Buttress. The route starts at the extreme left edge of the basalt platform on the ocean side of elephant rock just beyond where the swell slams into a square corner creating an impressive backdrop in all but the smallest seas. About 1.5m right of the obvious deep crackline that runs bottom to top of the buttress from the lower very shallow rock pool. The line follows a series of bulges ledges and cracks before overcoming the slightly overhanging top of an obvious pinnacle. See photos.

Left of Kong by 15m, across the stepped slabby wall is another pinnacle. Dandelion tackles the crack and corners up the face via some wide ledges.

Average rock. The obvious chimney/groove line and the shortest route from the col between Pulpit Rock and the mainland. The line.

Start at the bottom right corner of the "bay" side of the 2nd pinnacle, traverse left and up to ledge at the base of the left-facing corner at the very left side of the pinnacle. Up the corner crack, then carefully top-out, trying not to dislodge too much of the choss. Descent by rappelling off the horn at the top of Nerve Case.

One of the better climbs on the cliff. Start at the crack 3m R of Poseidon.

1. 25m Climb the crack/s to the stance on Poseidon.

2. 25m Straight up the crack above to a bolt (where P goes off R) on the 3rd pitch of Nostromo.

3. 35m Go diagonally R up the ramp of loose blocks to a big crack splitting the headwall. Avoid a bolt remaining from the 1st ascent of Poseidon. Finish up the crack.

A little loose maybe. Starts 5m R of Poseidon, up an easy wall below a prominent roof in the middle of the cliff.

1. 10m Straight up to a crumblimng stance and a rotting bolt belay below the roof.

2. 21m Move R wards around the roof and into the line above on very poor rock. Up the corner to a wobbly bolt belay.

3. 36m 14 (crux) Continue up the crack, to a crumbling slab. Above the grade eases but the rock gets significantly worse. The cliff degenerates into a dangerous, decay pile of shit with nothing you would tie you hated mother in law to. Enjoy that!!

Satrts as for Nostromo.

1. 30m Up into the major crack line and follow it to a small stance.

2. Continue up the now shattered line and move slightly L to enter a very chossy zone which leads to the top.

Attractive jamming. Start just R of Wet Dreams. Climb the crack R wards to a ledge. Jam the crack above and finish up the ridge.

2BR. BB. L end of Nth face of Lower of Southern Buttresses

The opposite side of Crack At The Back

The bulgy face on the pillar. Finish how you like. Must at least match on the top row.

Nice enough climb, last move is the crux, everything else is easy sailing.

'Shallow corner-crack a few metres right of Causeway Corner to right leading flake'

The east side of the pinnacle. Scramble down to a crackline to start. Up crack to ledges and take flakes up the top boulder.

'"The fear of epics involving water". Go to the base of the zawn, as for Take Five, then scramble along the ledge into the zawn's dank base to a little right-facing corner deep within. Climb the corner/crack through a rooflet, continuing up crack to ledges

Located on a large boulder on the South-East end of the beach, with an obvious seam.

Start off the block to the left of the seam, trend up and right(crossing the seam) to slabby topout.

Probably a repeat.

Take giant rock ramp up to the ledge (unprotected). Can stay independent of DBD by using the R most runnel before gaining the horizontal and traverse.

Good pro on first pitch, none after that. Start 3m left of the large corner near the centre of the cliff.

1. 48m Awkward start across wall gains shallow corner on the left. Up this and step right before it peters out, traverse to shallow crack in face. Up this and belay below black water streak above.

2. 48m Continue left along curving crack/ramp past three bushes for 25m. Climb face just right of 3rd pitch of Have a Nice Day. For 3m to gain a rightward-leading dyke. Follow this to belay above (a thread and #2 camalot)

On the face R of the first tributary of the Mitchell River and R of the Ampitheatre, 10m R of the creek. Easily to a ledge at 3m then up the thin crack.

About 15m, broken by a horizontal ledge. The best bit is popping out from the little roof above the ledge. Questionable rock quality.

Directly up slab L of notch past 4 FHs. Optional gear in pockets, too.

Squash it! This was Grant's first (and only?) new route. 6m L of CB. Up easily to crescent shape corner (small wires, small and medium cams). Leave crack on exposed move to ledge (FH). Boldly over ledges above to DBBM. Worth the effort if you’re homesick for Kangaroo Point or you carried in some pro and must use it no matter what!

Up BRs of "Flat and Useless", then go high L to last BR on "Eff-A-Reddy". Continue L to last on ASSOSSISS, then up to belay. Could have been the original intent for FU?

3m L of Candle Power. Up short steep wall on good holds. Good warm up or for newer leaders. 3 FHs to chains.
