V9 | ★★★ Poison Salad
Rat Salad into Rat Poison. Mega! FA: Callum Mather | ||||

Sit start on edges, bust out the roof via shouldery moves and finish up right. Either downclimb or shuffle along the shelf to top out. FA: Callum Mather | 4m | |||

Stand start, big move to lip and mantle. FA: Callum Mather | 4m | |||
V5 | Crumbling Castle
Sit start with udercling and crimp, up to edge and throw for sloper. Head left on slopers and mantle. Low right foot ledge is out. Bit crumbly but still worthy. FA: Callum Mather | 3m | |||
Victoria North West Grampians North Grampians Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Lower Taipan Lower Taipan Wall | |||||

Victoria North West Grampians North Grampians Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Wildsides | |||||
V10 | ★★★ Lazy Monnelli
A brilliant complex roof problem. Located 1 minute's walk downhill - left of the 'Sweet Sensation' cave. Sit-start right at the back of the cave, and climb out, down, and around to a cruxy finish out on the lip. FA: Klem Loskot, 1999 | ||||
V6 | ★★★ The Beginning of a Great Adventure
Blue Mountains-like rock and style. Sharp, crimpy, steep and a great landing. | ||||
V8 | ★★★ Sweet Sensation
As for 'The Beginnings...' then break right and up via extreme undercling move to the slopey break. FA: Klem Loskot, 2000 | ||||
V8 | Click
Low sit-start and up via a big move leftwards. Possibly lost some holds since the first ascent. Start: 3rd climbing cave along from the 'Sweet Sensation' area. FA: Klem Loskot, 2000 | ||||
V5 | Nelly the Elephant
Left-trending line from a low sit-start into the finish of Elephant's Swing. | ||||
V3 | La Gina
Furthest most problem right of Nelly. Potential for more problems exist in the same area. | ||||
V3 | Elephant's Swing
Broken looking holds right of 'Click'. Very low sit-start. | ||||
V0 | The Lazy Mantle
Obvious (grim) mantle problem a couple of metres left of Lazy M's finish. A couple of other variations exist here as well. | ||||
V3 | ★ Sandy Candy
Choss! | ||||
Victoria North West Grampians North Grampians Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Closed The Snake Pit | |||||
V4 | ★★★ Volume 1000
Highball (6 metres) slightly overhung face route. Crux is the first move (big) but a tricky finish awaits. | 6m | |||
V0 | ★ Un-named V0
| ||||
V12 | Quitline
Old Klem Loskot project which was expected to be the hardest dyno in Australia; the FA went to Nalle Hukkataival and its status as hardest dyno may have been subsumed by a few hard problems Nalle put up in Buandik, 'Massive Dynamic' and 'Pigeon Superstition' at the Citadel. FA: Nalle Hukkataival, 2011 | ||||
V4 | ★★ The Farmer Traverse
A very long traverse starting from the big flake then motoring right along the horizontal weakness - finishing up 'John Deere' | 12m | |||
V2 | High Farmer Traverse
A variant of the 'The Farmer Traverse'. Do the same start, then use the higher line of holds to finish on the sloper to the left of the finishing jug of 'The Farmer Traverse'. A lot easier than the original? | ||||
V1 | ★ John Deere
Tricky warm up (or testpiece) starting from the big down-sloping 'jug' and climbing up via an obvious slopey pocket to the big finish break. | 3m | |||
V4 | ★ Tonka
Sit start on the same holds as Caterpillar. Move left to a crimp and an edge before making a big move to the break. | ||||
V3 | ★ Caterpillar
Sit-start on the low flake and small arete hold - then up via a 'triangle' pinch hold to the big break. Originally given V4. | 2m | |||
V4 | ★★ Air traverse
| 3m | |||
V7 | ★★★ Waiting in the Air
An 8-move traverse into a big dyno. FA: Klem Loskot, 2000 | 3m | |||
V12 | ★★★ If You Want Blood, You've Got It
A huge, technical dyno starting from a sit-start, then up to the big sloper and higher crimp - then the sharp lip jug. The hardest dyno in Australia? FA: Klem Loskot, 1999 | ||||
V6 | ★★ Attack of the Killer Drop Bears
Another dynamic problem. | 4m | |||
V2 | ★ Karl
Overgraded? jug haul starting from a sit-start then up the right-trending flakeline - to cut back left via a horizontal slot - then the top. | 3m | |||
V4 | ★★ Helmut
Starts as for 'Karl' - but keeps traversing right - to a big move for a lone crimp up and right - then the top. Beware of the thin lip holds! | ||||
V9 | ★★ High Flyer
Takes the obvious flakeline through the big roof (see pic below), uphill from 'Helmut'. Yet another dynamic problem. FA: Bryn Hoskins, 2006 | ||||
V0 | Low Traverse
| ||||
V6 | ★ Thinklite
| ||||
Victoria North West Grampians North Grampians Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Citadel | |||||
V13 | Pigeon Superstition
FFA: Nalle Hukkataival, 2011 | ||||
V13 | ★★★ Ammagamma
Originally put up as 'Ummagumma' (also at V13) starting in the 3-finger pocket - Klem added the first (hard) move a week later. Previously V14 until Nicole repeated it in a single day. FA: Klem Loskot, 1999 | ||||
V8 | ★★★ Ammagamma Standing Start
The original problem from a standing start - to mantle the finish. FA: Dave Jones, 2000 | ||||
V4 | ★ Weibeleid
Starts on the RH face (sit) - left of the 'Sausage' crack weakness. | 3m | |||
V3 | ★ Sausage
Sit-start on large flat jug under the roof (same start as for Strammamax) - then head left around onto the face - and up crack weakness. | 3m | |||
V9 | ★★ Strammamax
Classic low traverse starting from the large LH flat jug under the roof - then heading rightwards via a big hueco and an even bigger sloper (crux) - finishing up the Endamax'. Desperate for those of short stature... FA: Toni Lamprecht, 1999 | ||||
V2 | ★★ Endamax
Starts on the big chalked slopey hold under the hanging arete (left of Lost For Life). Up via a pocket in the roof, then undercling to a good jug. Has a reputation for being nails hard for the grade. | 3m | |||
V9 | ★★ Puns and Noodles
Sit-start on the big hueco pocket - then head directly out through the big roof and up the thin face - to finish on the obvious jug line. Thin. FA: Ivan Vostinar, 2000 | ||||
V10 | ★★ The Viking
| ||||
V12 | ★★ Tanathos
Start on Strammamax and into Endamax. Traverse into and finish on Lost for Life | ||||
V12 | ★★ Lost For Life
Very solid; as shown by Fred Nicole in the classic EOS2 video (or more recently by James Litz in Dosage 3). FA: Klem Loskot, 1999 | ||||

Stand start on the obvious wide crimp rail. Finish as for LFL. | 4m | |||
V13 | ★★ Lost For Life Low Start
FFA: Dai Koyamada | ||||
V11 | ★★ Mad Max
Sit-start from a poor RH undercling and an incut LH 'pocket' - massive span move out right to the arete of 'Nice Max' - then finish as for this problem. Positive ape-index recommended! FA: Klem Loskot, 1999 | ||||
V5 | ★★ Nice Max
Sit-start from a low 'horizontal and slightly higher (LH) one - then motor up the left-trending vague arete using crimps - until you can lock up and right to a big pocket/jug. Solid at the grade. | 4m | |||
V7 | ★ Yoyo
Vague sit-start in the middle of the wall - then up the central line via a small sloping feature and shallow pocket. As fingery as it gets. | ||||
V3 | ★★ Keinen Plan
Good looking sit-start problem near the RH arete leading up to an obvious jug. | ||||
V3 | ★★★ Reach Around
Same start as Cock Toe, traverse left and ride the edge of the toe to top out. FA: 9 May 2021 | ||||
V4 | ★★★ Cock Toe
| 5m | |||
V8 | ★★ Penguin Biceps
| ||||
V9 | ★★ Pingu's Last Stand
| ||||
V5 | ★ Right Penguin

V6 | ★★ Scary Monster
Isolated highball problem away from the main 'Citadel'. | ||||

Start as for SM, but avoid the pocket and stick to the arête. Slightly contrived, but offers some impressive and committing climbing. FA: Kyle Meredith-Peck, 2023 | ||||
V11 | Project Traverse
Possibly the traverse completed by Dai Koyamada - starting from the V2 start hold - then traversing right to the finish of 'Mad Max' - unconfirmed. | ||||
V7 | ★★★ Skidmark
in a small 'toilet' cave directly behind ammagamma 20m, stand start matched in left pocket, big move right to pocket then directly up to slot, top out through gap in roof. very good could have been done eons ago but couldn't find any history on it. FA: cairo hazell, 2013 | ||||
V6 | Silica Superhighway
| ||||
V13 | The Bear and the Piano
Start on the left hand sidepull and right hand crimp. FA: Tom O'Halloran, May 2022 | ||||

A direct start to 'Skim Milk' - finishing as for that problem. | 4m | |||
