At the top of the crux of Exodus II, break right to a 2nd bolt, then up and right to a 3rd bolt (past undercling pocket). Upon reaching the edge of the crack weakness (Copyright), cut back left via yet another boulder problem up the unlikely headwall. Sustained power. FA: Dave Jones | 20m, 4 | |||

27 R | ★★ Ride Like the Wind Direct Finish
As for RLTW, but when you hit the top break, gear up for a final boulder problem! Heartbreaking, mainly because if you fall off the hard finish (well protected), you have to go back down and re-climb the the real business! Established at grade 27 - you might wonder why it was ever downgraded. Start: As for RLTW. FA: Gordon Poulteney, 1992 | 30m, 3 | |||

Start 1.5m R of Denim. Up thin seam to traverse line, R and up to RB, diagonally R to 2nd RB, then trend L to 3rd RB (despite the unfortunate chipped hold, this is still the crux).

27 | ★★ Hot Coq
Up the orange wall past 5 inconspicuous carrots. Apparently, finishing directly past the last one is the most 'enjoyable' way to do the route. Start: At the R edge of the grotto, 2m R of Catch 22/This. FA: Nick White, 1992 | 15m, 5 | |||

FA: Kim Carrigan & Kevin Lindorff (alt), 1979 | 50m, 2 | |||
27 | ★★ Escape & Enter
The obvious link of Escape start into the last half of Break and Enter. Start as for Escape (original bridging start), then break right and power up through the final boulder problem of B&E. Short, but consistently powerful climbing to the very last move. The route grade is open for debate given it’s basically a V7/8. | 16m, 1 | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos South Face | |||||
27 | ★★★ Mind Arthritis
An outstanding climb taking the major line on the South Face. Quite finger intensive and very exposed. Originally climbed with a piton as the last gear - though this has now somewhat controversially been replaced with a bolt. A small cam can be placed in the top runout. FA: Chris Shepherd, 1985 | 25m, 5 | |||
27 | ★ Senile Dementia
Starts as for Delirium Tremens but at the roof breaks right and traverse a couple of metres before launching straight up the face. Reportedly a tad runout in places, and rarely repeated. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1985 | 35m | |||

27 | ★ Flights of Fancy Direct

27 | ★★ Yesterday Direct
A good route to try if Ingvar's variant is out of reach. Step off the boulder about 8m up the hill from 'Yesterday', traverse left 3m to a seam. Up via two ringbolts to join 'Yesterday'. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1984 | 20m, 2 | |||
27 | ★ Genug

Up Credit Crunch, then join MSTK for a few meters, then into cheque your pockets. FFA: Christopher Glastonbury, 17 Jun 2023 | 15m, 3 | |||
27 | ★★★ My Soul to Keep
An ultra technical piece of climbing which is bold in places. Climb 'Odd Spots' for 5metres . Place a high runner in Strangers Eliminate then reverse a move and make a rising traverse rightwards, crossing 'Bad Cheques' then joining 'Tjuringa' at its midway flake. At the flake step down a move and continue traversing right past to 2 bolts to the undercling feature, before heading straight up to join 'Tjuringa' at its first belay. This last section is bold 21 in its own right. Double ropes are essential. Note: 50m ropes may not be long enough to lower the climber back to the ground therefore use double 60m ropes. HB 1, 'Camelot' 1, BD Hexentric 1 are essential gear. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2006 | 35m, 4 | |||
27 | ★★ Akakage
Like its neighbours, a very rarely repeated route that drives straight through the belay of 'Common Knowledge'. 'Fantastic' position and great rock, but a ridiculously hard fingery crux that has baffled quite a few aspiring suitors. Two bolts protect the business. FA: Masanon Hoshina, 1988 | 30m, 3 | |||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Northern Group Mysteries Wall | |||||
27 | ★★ Tigger
Old Paul Hoskins project re-equipped and sent. Ultra-smeary! Start: Start on left side of 'Mysteries Wall' proper. FA: Nathan Hoette, 2004 | 12m, 2 | |||
27 | ★★ Model Phantom
Thin stuff. Up 'Blue-Eyed and Blond' then veer left into the crack of Mysteries. Undercling the crack to gain gravelly crimps past two bolts, then easier ground above. FA: Geoff Weigand., 1985 | 25m, 2 | |||
27 | ★★ Pooh Sticks
Nowadays largely ignored but still worth doing in it's own right. Originally started by stepping off the pillar into the line but now incorporates the direct start from the ground. Where the connection moves left into 'Anus Horribilus', continue straight up via the traditionally protected arete. FA: Roland Foster, 1989 | 22m, 3 | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Northern Group High Dive Gully | |||||
27 | ★★ Power Corruption and Lies
"Power" your way along the slopey traverse line 4m down and right of "Cellular Destruction" to a bolt. Now up past second bolt to letterbox slot (#0.75 BD cam or better, #0.1 BD cam in the smaller gap leaving space for your hands). Up (being careful not to escape out R to the easier ground on the arete and incur the ridicule of the climbing community) into Cellular Destruction at the end of its traverse and finish as for it, complete with its hideous mantle. FA: Geoff Weigand, 1985 | 15m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Far North Lower Curtain Wall | |||||
27 | ★★★ Bada boom
Climb Cut Short for a few metres until you can gain the hanging orange/grey wall to the left. Up this on delightful incuts, slopes, razors, and pockets to gain a series of beautiful pockets above an orange overlap. Make a span leftwards above the lip to pick up a vertical seam through a bulge then stagger over this to join Tapestry at the end of its traverse. Finish up Tapestry. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2009 | 30m, 5 | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Far North Upper Curtain Wall | |||||
27 | ★ Encore
Start as for Cliffhanger. Continue straight up passing a bolt. At the roof reverse Curtain Call for 3m. Gain the headwall above via a neat pocket sequence (crux) passing two bolts. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2009 | 30m, 3 | |||

Starts with the same moves as Inspector Gadget then head out left to crimp rail & finish up at Ultra Deluxe | ||||
V6 | ★★ Silly Putty
Starts left of 'Butt Gravity'. Sit start up on the ledge with the large pocket on the vague arete and make a big move into the huge slot. Make further big moves through the lip, then head right through the huecos following the obvious line leading to a top-out up and right. Has a reputation for being hard for the grade, particularly if you are short. | 5m | |||
V6 | ★★ Silly Putty Direct
Follow 'Silly Putty' to the lip, then head directly up through juggy flakes. | 4m | |||
V7 | ★ Butt Gravity
Sit start low under the roof matching a slot, then out to a pocket, crimp, then BIG move up and left to a good 4-finger pocket. Join 'Silly Putty' at the top. Sharp. FA: Julian Saunders, 2000 | 5m | |||
V7 | ★★★ Happy Camper
As per Grampians bouldering guide. FA: Paul Westwood, 2000 | ||||

V7 | ★ No Sex After Mushrooms LHV
Start as for the original problem then head left and up through the sloper and edge. Rarely done. | ||||
V7 | ★★★ Hip Flexor

V7 | ★★ Plus
Another variation within the Butthole Cave. Starts as for 'Minus', then bisects the 'Worm Saloon' traverseline via a big move out to the lip. | ||||

This line breaches the steepest part of the main wall on perfect rock, with some amazing moves to get through the bulges. Start at the left of 2 cracks that head up the the lower part of the main wall. Blast up through some very steep bulges, with some great slopers for slapping.

V7 | ★★ The Show Must Go On
Start in the back of the cave on the massive jug rail. Make your way to the lip and traverse all the way left using tricky footwork, then head up as for Curtain Call to match on the sharp jug. This line also has a direct variant that heads straight up from the lip to the crimp rail and finishes as for Encore. This line differs to Grand Opening as you can use the left side of the wall. | 5m | |||
V7 | ★ Grand Opening
Start as for "The Show Must Go On" on the massive jug rail. Go directly up to thin edge on the lip and finish the same as Encore. This line differs to "The Show Must Go On" as it eliminates the left sidewall. It requires tricky foot work, big biceps, and excellent tension to get out of the cave. The bat hang is one way, but is there another? FA: Wojjy, 29 May 2022 | ||||

Australia Victoria North West Grampians North Grampians Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Ground Control Caves Top Cave | |||||
V7 | ★★★ I Feel So Holy
Upper Cave. Has quite a reputation... One of the best problems for its grade. Starts just left of 'Donald'. Sit-start on two opposing sidepulls and climb the central 'rib' line directly via a very bad sloper, a pinch, and some sneaky footwork. Can also be done via a LH sequence using a big move to a bad sloper (RH) - then to the slopers on the lip, before moving up to the high jug. Solid at the grade either way. | ||||
