Nodi in Split Rock Area

Split Rock is a large roadside boulder with a large crevice running through the guts of it that offers some short and fun stemming style routes. A couple of anchors can be found on top (used for commercial operations) to set up top ropes for these. An off-width crack runs up the downstream face offering something for the trad climbers, while the boulderers can throw themselves on some hard and steep problems on the river side face.

There also exists a condensed cluster of boulders just upstream of Split Rock, which offers a number of quality problems in a good spread of grades and styles. There are a few gems to be found here!

The downstream side of split rock, again, offers a couple more boulders.

Stand start in the hole with RH high sidepull and LH low gaston. Up and right on crimps before coming back to the centre to mantle.

Start RH high on a flat three finger edge and LH low on a slopey three finger edge. Move left to an incut sidepull, sort your feet and launch for the lip.

Can either be done as a highball boulder or on top rope.

Rock behind you is not in. Can either be done as a highball boulder or on top rope.

Start matched on obvious flat hold. Tricky moves through slopey holds lead to tough move into the slot. Use small LH crimp to gain the big sloping rail, follow it left and up above questionable landing. Bush-bash to the top.

Currently unclimbable due to recent flooding. The landing needs rebuilding.

Starting from wobbly block in the corner of the rooflet, work out right and over the lip via slopey holds.

The wobbly block recently came out, but the boulder will still go at a similar grade.

Start on LH pinch and RH undercling, up through shouldery dihedral before finishing as for storm chasers.

Sit start on set of underlings, up on sidepulls and edges.

Squat start on slopey edge and pinch, head up and left to a tricky lip encounter.

Callum Mather

Begining on good holds at the far right arete, traverse left along the lip on the series of diminishing slopers. Pull through the crux at the crimps to gain the obvious flake in the middle of the lip. Tops out up the cruisy slab above the flake.

Cameron Whycherley Callum Mather

Begining on jugs in corner feature on the far left side of the face, traverse right using lip and holds on the face. Top out as for The Departure, above the obvious flake near the middle of the boulder.

Sit start with obvious incut crimp rail on face. Up via edges and sloped topout. Lowball fun

Stand start with right shoulder high rail and higher left sloper. Big move to high right jug. Topout.

A bit more pumpy than right, and a bigger move. Big foot is in.

Similar start as left, but trend right and then up.

Sit start at the base of small arete with good holds. Up, trending slightly left. Short, but nice.

Sit start on rock with higher digonal rail & lower diagonal crimp with thumb catch. Straight up on pinchy arete.

Squat start with jug & low right crimp. Straight up. Add steep prow and mantle ending for extra spice.

Squat start with low crimp & higher triangle pinch. Head up and under roof. Add steep prow and mantle ending for extra spice.

Work from good diagonal edges at roughly head height, up through and past good edges to slopers and undercling. Big move to jug for topout. Interesting finish! Finish might be harder if short.

Cameron Whycherley

Start just under roof on good sidepull and undercling, work your way up and out through big moves on good holds.

Callum Mather

An extended and alternative start for Rooted Tabanidae. From the good hold at lip of mini roof, in line with where the two large boulders meet, traverse left and into Rooted Tabanidae.

Off width crack through hand jams to more off width and spicy topout.

Start wide on sidepulls, throw a heel to reach edge before launching up to sidepull. Top out through the vines.

Stand start with good right hand sidepull and high left hand jug.

Follow sloped, left leaning arete, starting low.

Traverse upstream to downsteam on good ledge using high feet (heels and toes) for V1. Another alternative is smear along the face making it a bit pumpier to V2 maybe. Is a lot easier using the lower slab though for feet making it V0.

Up shallow slab, starting off the left most small boulder at base.

Up shallow slab, starting just left of small tree at base. Cruisy and pleasant, nice beginner line.

Up the slab, starting just to the right of small tree. A slightly trickier start.

Sit start near right end of slab with good sidepull slot.

Classic. Stand start in middle of face with opposing sidepulls. Up into sloping pocket and mantle on sloped lip.

Start with RH in obvious slot in middle of face. Up and slightly left through interesting high pocket/pinch, and topping out on the sloped lip. A little reachy.

Start low matched on deep scoop in bottom left corner of boulder. Move right via big moves and finish as for Venus.

Stand start matched jug in middle of face. Gain the sloping the arete and pull a big move to holds up high, topping out slightly left.

Cameron Whycherley

Sit start in the corner, low on the arete. Follow sloped arete up and L to better holds up high. A very nice easy line.

Currently unclimbable due to recent flooding. A large tree fell right in front of the boulder.

Super friendly and lovely beginner line. Stand start with good undercling pocket, under the roof, in the corner. Climb up and left following the leaning seam. A sit start can be added, bumping up the grade a little.

Currently unclimbable due to recent flooding. A large tree fell right in front of the boulder.

Starting as for Mega Babe, climb directly up through crimps on face.
