Routes in Northern Territory for selected grade

Easiest line straight up the CP face, on really nice rock. 2BR, 2BB

Start a metre or so L of the obvious corner on the right of the recessed wall. Up and slightly L via the square-cut notch at the top.

The pretty corner on the right of the recessed wall. Pity there isn’t a hundred metres of it!

Obvious laid back black wall with numerous horizontal breaks. Climb straight up just about anywhere, following lines of good holds and mega pro (small SLCDs). A “sustained grade 8”, good for beginners.

The obvious large right slanting crack system right of Gentle Breeze. Up the crack, stepping left below the roof to belay.

The first impressive offering by this up and coming pair of talented young superstars. A further move right of MM is a wider broken crack which is chimney width initially. Grovel up it to the pile of boulders, and continue up the right hand line above if you can be bothered. Sounds delightful.

Sit start to the left of "Warm Up 1", traverse to "Warm Up 1" than clim up "Warm Up 1".

Chimney Boulder problem

Look for the most prominent corner, just east of this is an easy looking chimney and corner that is climbed.

A vegetated scramble through history - bring your whipper-snipper? Vegetated crack just R of gully R of Diakon. Up through tree to below second tree which avoided on its L. Return to crack and up to bush which is also avoided on its L. When the line breaks into two, follow the obvious corner to the top.

Obvious companion crack-line just L of Wisecrack. Scramble to the start.

1. 10m Up corner to tree, then R and up to ledge.

2. 30m Up easy crack from the L end of ledge to another large ledge on R.

3. 17m Continue up crack to top

Locate short slab behind the two gums R of Wisecrack. Climb instead the short vegetated corner on the L side of the slab (just R of the block). At ledge, climb crack above to gain a ramp leading R. From ramp, straight up chimney to enter a corner above from the R. Up to large chockstone, step R and continue to top

This and the following climbs are reprinted from the 1973 guide. The climbs start at the L end of the cliff, before you get to the large boulder stewn scree slope. Presto takes the R of two gullies, just above a ramp.

Corner at R edge of slab to narrow chimney. Up to tree and ledge. John Griffiths

Corner R of NS to where it narrows, finishing up the tight chimney

Obvious chimney splitting the centre of slab R of OS. 1) 12m Crack to ledge. 2) 26m Chimney to top.

1. 12m As for Evolution.

2. 27m From R hand end of ledge, climb crack until it is possible to move into gully to the L. Grade unknown.

Start at shattered groove, 2m R of prominent crack R of Genesis's slab. 1) 13m Groove to the junction with the crack at overhang. Traverse L to belay on bushy ledge. 2) 44m Slab above, moving L when the holds start to thin. Up groove on R, to easier ground below the obvious hanging block. Up corner-crack to the top

Starts as for Valgus, taking the R hand gully. Climb up under the large chockstone, then straight up chimney to top

The sister crack, 3m R of TW. 1) 43m Up slab on R to ledge above chockstone. Up and though 'overhang', following crack up to a small stance. 2) 40m Step R and up slab to ridge, following this up L to a small white corner. Up corner, then R to belay

Very left hand climb on the crag. Up the obvious gully. Some loose rock.

Enter the cave and head towards the light. The kids go this way easily- its a bit harder when you're bigger.
