Right of the bolted face called Limp Wrist is a powerful looking crack, starting as a hand-crack then getting thinner towards the top. Challenging and worthwhile.

Great climbing up the diagonal crack going left across the face from Limp Wrist. Clip the first bolt of Limp Wrist, then up into the corner below a small roof, then spectacularly left across the wall to the half-way ledge of an off-width crack, finish up crack

24 Redneck Love

The line above the jumar approach. Mixed, long, sustained and hard for the grade. There are two way to climb at the crux, out left to the bolts gives the route it's grade. Climbing directly up the crack is considered much closer to 25+ but much better.

One of the best steep cracks anywhere in Australia. The first pitch is Tassie's answer to Trojan and the second is a rarely done but worthwhile 22 bolted face pitch.

  1. 30m (25) Up the obvious steep crack in the middle of the cliff. Brilliant gear and moves trend gradually rightwards to finish at a DBB.

  2. 20m (22) Up the face on good but slightly dirty rock.

18 Mad to the Bone

A moderate ground-up way to access the Boneyard all on Trad, mossy; but the abseil traffic has cleaned it up considerably. Starts at the rap line, just left of the nose of the original 'Boneyard Route'.

  1. 30m 18. First pitch climbs the rap line / corner taking the R fork for the last 3m to the rap chain.

  2. 30m 18. Traverse R for 5m (no pro, maybe anchor off the rap line!?), then straight up thin crack just around the nose. Move left to corner, then finish up mossy wall (poor pro).

22 The Nameless King

A fun, mostly trad multi that extends Underestimated all the way to the Supernaut Ledge. Will make an excellent alternative to Tomorrow's Dream if you have done that a few times.

  1. 25m (22) As for Underestimated to the belay.

  2. 20m (16) Lovely trad pitch up the obvious right leaning crack. Good gear and fun moves the whole way. Belay at double bolts on ledge.

  3. 35m (21) Hard start off ledge past bolt and key 0.4 cam then intriguing face climbing on excellent gear and passing one more bolt to double bolts on ledge.

  4. 20m (18) Funky, fully bolted slab pitch to the Supernaut Ledge.

20 Andrew's Arse Crack

The off-width. Apparently, "it had to be done". The climbing itself maybe even worse than the name, but you'll have to climb it to find out. Don't expect much gear.
