Black Site | |||||
18 | ★ Family Circus
Great warm-up and also suitable for top-roping as it's only vertical - unlike everything else at this crag. Far right route up orange streak, with a flake in the middle. Scramble in to belay ledge from the left end. FA: Dad, Mum, Kid & Gran | 15m, 8 | |||
22 | ★★ Chocolate Rocket
Longest route at the crag! An old-school, improbable offering. Seeps after rain. Starts about 8m right of the approach rope - but down on ground level on rocky ramp. Tricky slab, to steep chocolate-coloured headwall on amazing pockets and jugs. FA: The Caped Crusader, 19 Feb 2022 | 26m | |||
25 | ★★★ Locus of Control
A zen-like cruise to a Margalef-like finale. There is alot to learn on on this banger. Starts right of the belay bolt. Up "corner" to tricky mantle. Continue up steep slab on beautiful pockets to rest. Meditate, and steel yourself for an intense, sustained, transcendental finish. New ethereal beta from the universe has made this route easier however it doesn't detract from its quality. If you want to earn 26 use the Mono out far left. FA: Match, Paul Frothy Thomson, Luke Hef & davedave, 25 Oct 2022 | 20m | |||
23 | ★★ Deflated/Reinstated
A brilliant long climb, whose first iteration proved dissappointing, but whose reimagining produced a rare technical delicacy. Start as for Locus of Control (or via the much harder Covid Conspiracy Capers) to the ledge, clip long runner out left, then traverse left (crossing Covid Conspiracy Capers) via crux, and continue left until bolts guide you back up the wall. Despite appearances you can clean this route on lower-off ok without rethreading. FA: Paul Frothy Thomson & Match, 2022 | 20m | |||
27 | ★★★ Covid Conspiracy Capers
"Yes, the 5G I put in your Telstra pit gave you COVID." Unrelenting! Straight up slab left of the belay bolt. Boulder moves to turn the bulge, traverse left, then continue up the steep "slab" on inspiring white and grey rock, with surprisingly dynamic moves. FA: Paul Frothy Thomson & Matt King, 27 Feb 2022 | 20m, 8 | |||
25 | ★★ The Life of Pablo
Named after the bone spur on the first ascensionist femur that was removed the day after the FA. Start at top of the knotted approach rope on far right end of ledge. Tricky mantle start, traverse right to a pocketed dyno and la rose finish on perfect rock. FA: Match & Greer Knight, 5 Feb 2022 | 20m | |||
22 | ★ For the Fans and Non Believers
Right trending steep overhanging jug haul to an awesome water washed finish. Starts 2m left of Pablo. FA: Match & Anzhela Malysheva, 28 Oct 2022 | 20m | |||
23 | ★★ Summer of Rain
Glorious pumping. Starts off right side of small platform about 5m left of approach rope. Stick-clip 2nd bolt. Head slightly right at the 2nd bolt, then up on jugs to join pumpy, water-polished, gnarly finale. Anchors out left. FA: The Caped Crusader, 30 Jan 2022 | 15m | |||
25 | ★★ Cloak and Dagger (Linkup)
Links the best features of 3 routes into some of the most sustained climbing at the crag, while avoiding all the gnarly cruxes. Start up The Cabal, continue into the Open Project, and after clipping the last bolt, keep trucking right to gain the last bolt of "Summer of Rain" (long runner) and finish up that. | 18m | |||
27 | ★★ The Syndicate
Start as for The Cabal to the 5th bolt, then punch up and right via pockets to crimp rail traverse. Truck right past one new bolt, then crux to gain left-facing flake-thing, followed by committing climbing to the anchor. Set: Paul Frothy Thomson FA: Claudio Trefny, 2 Jun 2023 | 15m, 6 | |||
26 | ★★ The Cabal
Climbs the improbable blank-looking white streak. Very cruxy. Powerful moves to gain the white rock, choose the LEFT line of bolts, and tackle extremely bouldery crux moving left to flake, followed by a technical and committing headwall. Might be significantly easier with a long enough wingspan. FA: Paul Frothy Thomson & Jared Tyerman, 22 Jan 2022 | 15m | |||
25 | ★★ Secret Squirrel
The first route climbed at this crag! Hard at the grade. Climbs the rust-brown rock left of the white streak (the Cabal). Very sustained, pumpy and technical, with a brutal sting in the tail. All thriller, no filler. FA: Paul Frothy Thomson & Match, 16 Jan 2022 | 15m, 6 | |||
23 | ★★ Funky Venga Bus
Jump on the Funky Venga Bus, it won’t disappoint! Apparently It's like that by Run DMC and Jason Nevis sounds like a funky venga bus.... FA: Match & The Cabal, 22 Jan 2022 | 15m | |||
24 | ★★ Needle Shield
Very nice top half up the white shield and orange ripples. Ledgy start just right of Gumbo. FA: The Caped Crusader, 26 Jan 2022 | 15m | |||
19 | ★ Gumbo
A good warm up. Up slab to a sandy middle on easy ground than a quick trip up a steep corner on Arapiles style rock. FA: Match, 26 Jan 2022 | 15m | |||
22 | ★★ Spook Flake
Pocketed orange wall to steeper ground and flake on right. Take care to avoid touching the humongous flake on the left when lowering off. FA: The Caped Crusader, 19 Feb 2022 | 15m | |||
Luke Closed Project
| 14m, 6 | ||||
22 | ★ Sneaky Snorkeler
Bouldery start, jug city for a bit then speccy limestone like face climbing up the grey headwall. FA: The Caped Crusader, 6 Feb 2022 | 14m | |||
22 | ★★ Hush Hush
Outstanding right facing flake up high guarded by a tough face move to get off the ground. Way steeper and pumpier than you think it will be. FA: The Caped Crusader & Match, 22 Jan 2022 | 15m, 5 | |||
23 | ★★ Whistle Blower
Lovely orange rock from start to finish. Right trending start across line of pockets then up steep wall. Ask Monty about the leaf blower story. FA: The Caped Crusader, 26 Jan 2022 | 15m, 5 | |||
24 | ★★ Boosted
About 2m right of the far left end of the wall - just right of the short flake project. Short and intense with lots of bolts. Screw gate into the first bolt as an unclipped bolt will be the end of both belayer and climber. FA: The Caped Crusader, 6 Feb 2022 | 13m, 6 | |||
17 | ★ Belayer Bait
The far left right-facing flake. A great warmup (and excellent belayer bait)! FA: Match | 10m | |||
25 | ★★ Mum's the Word
Short, but packs a punch. The steepest route here! Starts at the cairn. Route is wet in rain. Gnarly start to gain 2nd bolt, then easier beautiful steep finger-jugging to the top. Consider adding to the cairn until you can reach the starting mono. The first ascensionist could only just reach the mono at full stretch on the first ascent. If you pull up the 2nd bolt, its an awesome gr23. | 12m | |||
The Platform | |||||
24 | ★★ Hot Hands
Jump for big juggy break, swing left then up crux crimps to small ledge. Continue up featured steep wall. FA: The Caped Crusader & Millie, 6 Jun 2022 | 25m, 11 | |||
24 | ★★ Pothole Causeway
Face 2m left of sandy corner. Intense sharp start, cruisy middle then harder sustained climbing for the last 4 bolts. Overhangs about 4m. FA: The Caped Crusader & Paul Frothy Thomson, 2022 | 25m, 12 | |||
22 | ★★ Ejector Seat
Sandy corner on right edge of ledge for 4m then straight up steep wall. Lots of jugs. Baffling move at bolt 3. FA: The Caped Crusader & Match, 30 May 2022 | 25m, 11 | |||
22 | ★★ What Lurks Inside
Best warm-up here with an easy start that gets increasing pumpier up top. Starts up on the high ledge on the right side of crag. Rope up & climb sandy corner start of Ejector Seat to access this ledge and optional double bolt belay. Scramble up onto block then mantle into scoop to start. Best way to clean route is to get someone to 2nd it and they lower off back to the main platform. FA: The Caped Crusader & davedave, 29 Jul 2022 | 25m, 12 | |||

25 | ★★★ Halo
Line on right side of wall. First pitch remains a closed project (stay off) - the pitches above are free to play on.
| 130m | |||
24 | ★★★ After Life
Heavenly three star face climbing with a one star deduction for the exit shenanigans. This route requires rapping down an overhung wall - don't under estimate this. Practice at home not on this route and have the right gear! Gear: 140m of rap rope (possible to use 100m and then thread the lead rope for last rap), lead rope, 20 long draws, rope protector. No slings required. Descent: Fix rap rope to two hard to spot ringbolts on slab at top of wall (they are narrow and camo painted). Walk down slope for 10m then rap over edge (place rope protector here). Once over edge rap down dirt slope for 10m then down wall next to small cave. Continue down past cave and into steeper ground. Kick a bit to reach double bolts at top of pitch 3 (about 35m down from cliff top). Short fix on these bolts and continue rapping down - its about 80m to the ground from this belay (using a dynamic rope with stretch).
| 150m, 6 | |||
24/25 | ★★★ On a String and a Prayer
A magnificent flake feature straight up the guts of the wall. Each pitch has merit - but the real wonder is in pitches 3 and 4 (which can be linked if your 2nd is up for it). Named after a scary worn Grigri rope cutting drama during first ascent attempts. Check your gear! Gear required: Route is entirely bolted and does not require bolt plates. 16 draws should keep you out of trouble (most pitches are 8 to 12 bolts). Three of the belays are hanging - so take your comfy harness and consider a couple of long slings to manage the rope on belay. Descent: Where you rap down will depend on how much you want to suss the route out in advance, have an escape jugging rope in bad weather and desire to leave cache of food/water/shoes. The cleanest simplest and boldest rap is tying 130m of rope together and rapping down After Life. This mean you have to carry everything up the route and must be able to obligatory climb around grade 22 above bolts. If you rap down the route itself the rope rarely gets in the way of the climbing itself (it's an overhung wall and the route traverses around a fair bit). If you have limited ropes then a fixed 50m rope from the top anchors will get you to belay anchors at top of pitch 4. From there you can rap and pull ropes down using 50m double ropes or a single 80m to the ground (in two raps).
