Length: 30m A.Tees, Pete Smith 20/09/98 A few metres left of the "Diedre" start at an "M" shaped rock, layback, and step right to a ledge which is traversed right.

54 - Postpartum
Length: 30m Donna Ryan, Al Millar 7/07/2000 Just right of "Desperate Dan McGrew" is an obvious cleaned feature running the height of the crag.. The initial corner becomes a slender ramp, and culminates in a corner and short narrow wall/slab which is split by a crack on it's right margin. The initial corner is the crux.

55 - Desperate Dan McGrew
Length: 30m Brian Johnston, A.Tees Obvious cleaned corner going up the left centre of the crag. Good jugs lead to crux at two thirds height, where a move out right, over a buldge and back left is necessary, before continuing to the top. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
56 - Saloon Girls
HS 4bLength: 30m Alan tees, Pete Smith 20/09/98 A bit dirty, but beggars cant be choosers! Towards the left hand side of the crag, locate a shallow corner, which is climbed awkwardly. Continue up crack(with a flaccid penis shaped feature on the right)and surmount pillar with difficulty. Continue up eroded recessed area to the top with a few problems.

57 - Beautiful Barry's Wrangler Jeans
Length: 35m Al Millar, Donna Ryan 7/07/2000 This route is on The Bastion, a two tiered buttress a few hundred metres right of the Outpost. This takes the left trending crack feature in the middle of the upper tier. Start up obvious finger crack that leads to the left side of a ledge at 4m. Continue up crack until it peters out, and the feet are forced higher into it (crux)so that a long reach to a good hold on the left can be made. Continue to sloping ledge and follow the crack up to the next ledge. 10 m of broken terrain to the top. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
58 - Wise Owl Soul
Length: 30m Al Millar, Donna Ryan 7/07/2000 Excellent varied route, also on "The Bastion". Start as for "Beautiful Barry", then from ledge at 4m, traverse left across slab using underclings and make a thin move around onto large sloping ledge.Cross ledge to bottom of obvious fine corner 3m left of "Beautiful Barry". Climb corner with increasing difficulty and finish up vegetated ledges. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
