Shared start with Monopoly, Do Not Pass GO and traverse all the way out left into the topout of Snakes And Ladders To avoid any controversial opinions on the name, this route got this name because it was FAed in a 30°C day where every hold immediately turned black and the chalk disappeared due to the sweat, leaving a trail behind.

A great Eliminate. Traverse from right to left using holds in the roof and on the actual lip only . Once you've dropped down to the hueco keep heading left to top out via the short wall on the far LHS of the cave as for DISW. The early topout directly from the Hueco is Aquarius V6. | 8m | |||

Australia New South Wales and ACT Sydney Metropolitan North Shore Blues Point Peeking Patch | |||||
V7 | ★★★ No Hard Feelings
Surprisingly technical. Starting just left of Coal Train Blues, use the side pull and undercling to boost up to the angled crimpers. Avoid large flake and head high crimps to the left.

V7 | ★★ Elimination Strategy
Freedom Day's burlier older brother, and a problem of truly quality moves. Same start and exit, but the right arete is off. Gain the sloper and hang on for a ride! (In the grey area of V6/7) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OdfaJS9gpo FA: Jack Woodley, 18 Nov 2021 | 3m | |||

V7 | ★★★ The High Traverse
A series of desperate iron crosses that links into Mummy Dust. | ||||
28 | ★ Mummy's Traditional Traverse
Start up Mummy's Old Carrots, clip the anchor and climb past the fixed nut into the crack below the roof. Follow this all the way until it fizzles out past multiple blobs of old coach screw. Back jump (consider re-aiding if too tired) to clean. Whispers amongst the local trees suggest that back in the day this was in the realm of 28/29 but someone local and wise may have some more solid information on this (as well as the real name and FA). | 30m | |||

Australia New South Wales and ACT Sydney Metropolitan North Shore Forestville Sissy Crag | |||||

V7 | ★★ Mr Smiley into Vitamin C
Climb Mr Smiley across into Vitamin C or Vitamin X. | ||||
V7 | ★★★ Travis
M11, L12, L10, R4, L13, M13 Another classic. Everyone has their own favourite beta, but good footwork is the key. (Becomes 'Mavis' V8 if both pinches are held before gaining edge 10- 'Contrived' and hard) FA: Peter Balint, 1992 | 3m | |||
V7 | ★★ Our Man From Havana
M1, R2, R3, L4, M4 A classic but nasty shoulder press - You'll either find it too easy or bloody desperate. | 3m | |||
V7 | ★★ Homicidal Fly By
Same as 'The Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Taste' but no matching in the break. Foot-Free problem! | ||||
V7 | ★★ Stormtrooper

M9, L10, R11, R12, M12. Same as Storm Troopers but throw right hand to pocket. | ||||

V7 | ★★★ I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
Start in the roof on the two low slopey pinches, out to the good edge (2) and then blast to the shared finish hold (4). Everything else is off limits. 🚫 Originally done as a 'no heels' problem. FA: Rob LeBreton, 1992 | 2m | |||

V7 | ★★★ Stevie Nicks
Sit start as for 'Heavens Gate' and link into 'Nicole'. A great link-up and the logical beginning of Nicole to get full value from this section of wall. | 5m | |||
V7 | ★★ Rampage
From the starting pockets of 'Mike's Five', move left into a set of underclings and straight up to finish on the jug, without using the two finger pocket. Hard. 🚫 Originally done as a 'no heels' problem. FA: Neil Wallace | ||||
V7 | ★★★ Burst
R10,L13,R14,L15,M15,L16,M16,L6,M6. The jug in the break is out. Very good sloper traverse. Another to save for a cold day. 🚫 Originally done as a 'no heels' problem. FA: Peter Balint, 1995 | ||||
