Routes in Northern Territory for selected grade

Sit start at the middle/right and push up and traverse along and up. Watch out very sharp.

Mr & Mrs Squiggles rebellious child out of pride does not touch the dark blue line or any of its edges with feet or hands. Finish at the top of the 2nd Mangrove, only using the thin crimps throughout.

Right and up from Goldhangers. Starts pleasantly enough to first RB, interesting move left to base of super thin bulging wall with vertical crack to left. Route follows bolt line avoided crack to left. 2RBB

Wanders up the tallest face in the area. Very slippery fine grained sandstone. Climbing gets much more intense from the horizontal break to the topout.

Much coveted, seldom repeated. Razor sharp flake on at start through overhang to thinish wall. 1 bolt, rest on natural gear

Start at the immediate left of Where Dick Goes Down, up to the immediate right and over the overhang. No use of Where Dick Goes Down or right of it.

Pumpy and strenuousl start under the steepest part of Testosterone Wall, 3m to the right of Mr. Giggles. Finishes straight up on easier ground.

Excellent (and Dynamic) direct start to above climb added by Doug on a recent visit

Break left at 'Barramundi Dreamings's' 5th bolt and follow 3 U-bolts to anchor

Solid featured rock with a little bit of everything.

Stellar climbing takes the left line up this gently overhanging wall. Sustained and bomber rock.

There are some nice technical transition sequences that would make an onsite ascent of this climb feel about a grade harder.

Technical left hand traversing line of fhs. Great sequences.

Up first two FH's of 'Linkshander' then over bulge, trends left to ledge then right and up to anchors. Very thin and sequency

Straight up through middle of main wall. Steepens through the top section. Lower Off

Hard start then follow line of weakness upwards until you can traverse right and follow bolts to anchor.

Large crack running through the roof over the first pool. Start on the raised platform to the left of the main crack, traverse right on lateral seam, mantle the ledge, up face to the roof, out and up following the crack though roof.

Right at the start of the 2nd Gorge is a short wall with an obvious mooring ring, which is used to gain arete and good (but slippery) holds. Some thin moves lead up and slightly left up the headwall. Short, but great climbing.

Sit start tiny holds getting off the ground to gain feet on the obvious rail. Using hands to the right getting feet high and left try not to barn door off transitioning to the arete flake, reach up and powerful mantle to gain top.

Start at the eyes, use the right as an undercling. Move to the side pull and make your way up. Dodgy landing; first ascensionist used four pads to feel safe. There is potential for a low start.

Sit start. Dyno to top

Sit start on Louie XxX, traverse to the left until good hold than stright up

Steep, sustained and tough for the grade. The rising rightward line at the far left end of the cliff. Fingery moves to start before gaining first FH, trend rightward to second FH, then straight up

Super thin climbing up 4 FH's on the small buttress at the left end of the crag.

Excellent naturally protected route up the steep wall between OFTG and SBM. The route was originally intended to be bolted the week before the first natural ascent - hence the name! Start 2m right of OFTG, bold moves up the lower wall lead to ledge and gear, then follow the ragged crack until it trends right to the finish

Another excellent, sustained mixed route taking a direct line up the highest section of the cliff. Start 3m right of TFTBF below a small dish. Balance up and clip FH, before ticky moves lead to good holds up high. Continue past second FH, finishing up a small vertical crack

As for SBM to just below the second FH, then step right and follow the ragged, rightward trending crack

The easier of Paul's new sport climbs, just L of Shades of Blue

Start up the L curving sickle flake 3m left of WTFIA Direct. Boulder through nervy crux pockets with average gear and bad feet to gain easier ground, finish as for WTFIA

Link up. Up first 2 bolts of S, traverse L on good edges just under small rooflet and finish as for OtSoD

Start 3m L of First Temptation. Up wall BR, FH, then R along diagonal rooflet 2FH, DBB.

Wonderfully sustained. Start at two shallow cracks in the center of the wall, with a BR at arms stretch. Good climbing past 3 FH to finish up large crack. DBB

one massive move. Same start as L then jump sideways jug ledge

Start just right of D and traverse R into line. Very strenuous boulder problem down low leads into easier climbing to finish at D chains. Four bolts with #1 cam at bush.

Sustained climbing with a powerful crux. Five bolts with some small cams between the 1st and 2nd.

Starts and follows the weakness 3m left of Gardeners. Vear slightly right, vear slightly left, continue up through the roof into the corner and up.

A Strenuous and sustained crack 3m L of CC.

Climb the overhung wall and arete to chain.

Situated on Lower Benstead, before you get to the main cliff. Start about 10m R of giant fig tree. Good, steep face climbing up 5 BR's to chain

Access is an issue

Much better (and harder) than it looks. The prominent crack leading up from a small cave another 4m R of CP. Head up through straggly jungle vine and past cave (you can see right through the buttress here!). Diagonally R and over roof (crux). Keep following crack up and then diagonally L on reasonably solid rock, but be careful of the large precarious triangular block most of the way up. It should stay in place but use it carefully

high and committing, with a terrible landing. Sit Start at the jumbled blocks, up vague arete to top. Beware of suspect rock

Stellar line! Unfortunately the very bad landing has thus far put off every potential ascent. Up 'Whirlpool Traverse' to gain the break, but keep going straight up through glorious hand crack to very comitting top out

2 metres r of Eel Head start. Sit Start on tenuous underclings then straight up into easier group before a comitting throw for a crimp before the top. Stand start is V2

very worthwhile line right up the proud face of the boulder. stand start on small edges and move strenuously up through large, faint depression at half height. Committing move right near top to gain jugs and top out

Trad start to FH then a few carrots to chains. The topos show a completely independent line from the ground. However this line appears to require that you hang yourself off, put your gear in, and position your belayer beneath, some very suspicious large booming roof flakes. And its dirty. If you'd rather not take that risk than a good alternative at about the same grade is to climb Sickle for 5m then heel hook R along the lip of the main roof a few metres below the FH, and turn the lip using the short fingercrack. The face climbing from the lip of the roof to the anchor is great, on some of the most solid rock at the crag.

Small holds on steep, flakey rock. Start 3m left of the 3 body problem. Thrutchy moves from the get-go, veering slightly right with the crimpy crease to the challenging overhung section.. where to from here??

At the left (west) end of the crag, a rock slope meets some steep boulders and overhung sections. This area has a few short, but hard climbs that would be serious boulders (if you have heaps of mats). Left of the most prominent overhang, below a corner crack- head up into the corner. head out and over the left side boulder to the top.
