To continue climb up chockstone and 20m up arete past 3PH, (additional nuts and cam can protect but not essential. Rap chain at top. Descent can be done in two pitches.

Up crack behind 4 stacked blocks that make up Crowlands. First 5m starts flared and difficult to protect but slabby. Becomes steeper and crack narrows to provide plenty of natural large pro. Near top two crack merge forcing climb out onto arete with R jamming. Rap chain at top 25 m to ground.

The original described short route to get on top of crowlands wall. Start at diagonal crack same as Swerv'n Mervin but continue left to top and do not take right diagonal crack. Descend off Crowlands rap chain.

Last arete top of steep gully between Swerv'n Mervin and Yeah Boys. Up easy arete past 3 BR using left wall to bridge if needed. Arete levels off to ledge then large cam to protect final steep 4m to top. Trad placements for belay. Exit left down to Dick Selector rap chain.

Large independent block L of Yeah Boys. Great first lead for a beginner. Step up onto nose and continue up over eye and along forehead crack. Sling and cam for belay. Easy exit off back of block

Start halfway up the easy ramp of the original second pitch of 'The Pintle'. Best approached by abseil. Up past 2 flakes and 2 bolts and some small gear, tending right at the top.

At the top of 'The Pintle Left Hand Varient', facing the lookout head left past the cave and right. In front of you there should be a perfectly shaped crack about 3m in height, this is the start of 'Whoops'. Head up over the boulders until the large ledge (can be belayed from to prevent rope drag. Head straight up the corner through the offwidth crack (crux) to the summit.

Start at the belay ledge at the top and left of Pintle Pitch one. Layback crux at the start and some spicy slab climbing with fiddly pro. Single bolt with rappel ring at belay (can be backed up with cams). Offset nuts and smallish cams are handy. Rap down R to final pitch of Pintle, or L and through very tight squeeze.

Up the crack 1m to the right of The Pintle's more vegetated crack, crux at bulge about half way up. Great trad climb with load of placements. Belay on ledge in front of small cave. Can exit out 4m R to bottom of Big Fun or continue up Pintle LHV.

2. 26m (14) Another crux. Up the left side through the wide crack.

3. 24m (14) Up the corner crack to the summit.

The centre of the block right of the Hoi Polloi arete (R of and down a little from the summit block and above the first pitch of Buttocks). Up past 4BRs.

One of 3 routes that finishes at the summit therefore can rap in off cams at the top of the route. Do not rap from the tourist handrail. Alternatively, access bottom via Buttocks' or 'Change of Heart'. Obvious well worn arete ends as tourist steps take a R turn 6m before summit. A typical Horn slabby arete with bolts. First pitch of 'Buttocks' makes a pleasant start.

Starts 5m L of final pitch of Mood for a Day. Bridge between slabby wall and block that looks like a pigs head. Pull up onto ear then step across into corner crack halfway up Pintle exit pitch. Continue as for Pintle to summit. Is the easy way off if caught in rain

Best started at snowgum level up most obvious straight line over boulders to rounded crack on main wall that looks like a bum crack. At top of crack traverse L to finish at belay bottom of Hoi Poloi arete.

Between Mood for a day Crack and Buttocks Crack is an overlap. Start below L side of overlap up past 1 BR and diagonally R up overlap to finish below Hoi Poloi arete

The undercut pitted face between the two flared cracks Nathaniel- Mood for a Day. Belay from under roof and make way up start of Mood to clip FH above roof. Carefully step over on to face and up past 2 FH to belay on block below pigs snout. Rap back down off pig snout chain.

Either access via Extra Fun or walk 5m R of Extra Fun up to grassy area scramble L up over 2 levels of granite boulders, to arrive at main slab wall. Cam in horizontal crack at start then past 2 BR and step R across chasm. (The very large chockstone shifted in 2022, changing FA and nature of protecting the move across the chasm.) Once across Up shallow arete past 3 BR and step left onto proper arete to complete past 2 BR. Need large nuts/ smaller cams to establish belay in crack beneath top block. Rap chains off 'pigs snout' or can continue up Pintle, Peroxide, or Hoi Poloi

Start at small cave 5m R of Pintle start. Up slab using R crack and bridging on opposing R wall. Make way past 2 BR onto some small ledges and continue 10m with some trad placements. Either belay base of Big Fun or continue on 2nd pitch Big Fun

A classic must try well protected sports climb. The route follows the sharp square L arete on the north facing wall of the tourist lookout. Starts on ledge top of big fun/ second pitch pintle. Up arete past 5PH to belay at 2PH found just below handrail. Can access by rapping down from lookout, or climbing up from lower pitches. (beware, Parks do not want climbers belaying off the top handrail)

The climbers track to the base of the Horn passes over a grassy snowgum rise. From this rise look toward the Horn in front of you is a short dimpley slab with 2 vertical cracks about 1m apart. Up either crack and walk off top and to the L for easy down return

From top of Pintle LHV downclimb ramp on left and across boulders toward top of Crowlands wall. On block above Giggle and Hoot lower 6m off a Fixed ring. Once on top of Crowlands wall make way along wide shelf to Rap Chain above Dick Selector. Rap 25m to ground. This is the simplest and most direct way to return to beginning Pintle climb
