The corner

The warm up on the big wall. Start up 'COVID Fit' for 3 bolts (long draw on the 3rd) then move right into the easy bit on 'Have I Told You Lately'.

First route at the bottom of the descent gully. Start by pulling with care on the rickety flake. Clip the low bolt to avoid dropping into the muddy abyss if you underestimate how tricky this little slab is.

Access pitch for the classics, finish on the belay anchors for S&P, or a fun little route on its own (get someone to second). Up C&B until the mini roof, move left for a couple of bolts to the belay ledge. Good foot work makes it easy !!

Two and a half stars. Beautiful varied climbing on great rock! Initially intended to be one mega route up the 35m face but a large break in the middle is an obvious ending to the first section making this pitch an independent route. Start two metres right of the obvious corner at the left side of The Outpost cliff.

Start at the L side of foot of the first buttress at a short crack – a few down and L on the side. Take a few cams for the first and last pitch if you don’t like run outs.

1. 25m 14 Up this and onto the slabby arete past 5 FHs to a DBB at the base of the steep orange wall.

2. 25m 16 Step up L and onto the steeper part of the main Stairway Wall. 9 bolts to a DBB

3. 25m 8 Up the rib to the top of the pinnacle and a DBB. Climb off the back of the pinnacle to The Balcony ledge.

Fun juggy climbing with some interesting angles. Start about 4m R of the rope that is used to drop down to the L end of the social wall. Up the jugs to get your hands on the ramp, up this then through a steeping to a belay. Belay here on keep going up the steep wall before moving L across the final ramp to the belay/lower off

This means “Artefact Thief”, equipped by one person, climbed by another, ha ha. Start on the far L end of the main wall at a belay bolt off the top of the boulder on the ledge above the void. Be careful here as it’s a 60m plus drop. Use the belay bolt. Up the technical face onto the ramp. Up L a little then up the face to the top. 7RBs and DRBB.

Fun flake on jugs. Start as for TA for 3 FHs but keep moving R on the large under cling flake (3RBs). 6 bolts, DRBB

A great juggy steep warm up. Start 2m R of The Cripple Nipple Project. Bridge up the walls to the large boulder chockstone. Climb onto this and then follow the diagonal line up and L before a steep little section at the last bolt. Mantle up over the top to the lower off. 6RBs, DRBB TM

The left hand line, starts off the block near small tree and has DBB up and out of sight.

The right hand route, starting off the pedestal.

Ring bolted line starting below the giant Indiana Jones boulder in the top of the nook.

The furthest route to the left (RB's) on the upper tier, Keep your feet on through the bulge or the grade significantly increases! Nice exposure. Be careful not to fall off the edge when at the base of the route..

Has comfortable belay stance for bringing up your second if heading over to Top Deck.

Quality link up that allows the easiest path up the cliff on some beautiful stone, Take the first four bolts of Inuit then clip the LH RB and head into the top of Psychophagus. Retro’d with permission as was the original line climbed on this section of wall, done ground up on gear.

8m left of Powerball. Wrestle up the column to start then head straight up via jugs.

The RH line. Follow the RBs up the featured face.
