  <header autonumber="true" camping="" walk="20 min" sun="Not much sun" rock="Dolerite walls and cracks up to 80m" name="Bulging Buttress" intro="Bulging Buttress spans the wide-ranging area between Avalanche Couloir and Teardrop Gully. The buttress is divided into LH and RH sections by a centrally located prow. At the LH end close to Avalanche Couloir is SSSSI Wall, a hanging wall of quality looking lines that rises to join the main buttress to its right. Right of here on the LHS of the prow is a steep, clean wall (Black Magic area) on which several fine sport and trad routes reside. The prow has a pronounced step 25m off the ground that traverses left underneath this clean wall. On the RHS of the prow the routes are initially shorter and finish on the step. Further right the routes become longer before the cliff eventually merges into the natural continuation of Teardrop Gully. The quality of the rock right of the prow is definitely poorer than that on the LHS. " history="" acknowledgement="" access="Bulging Buttress is accessed from the climbers&apos; carpark. Walk left along the Organ Pipes Track for approximately 400m arriving at the signposted Bulging Buttress/University Buttress track junction that heads right up a boulder field (GPS MTW070). Follow this climbers&apos; track to where it meets the base of the cliff just right of the prow. This is the Jelly Wall area.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Following the track left provides access to routes between SSSI and Malignant Mushroom. Access to SSSI Wall is by following the track left around the prow, then traversing across and up to enter Avalanche Couloir.  For access to routes in the Black Magic area follow the track left around the prow then up slightly to the base of the cliff.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For routes right of the prow, the climbers&apos; track meets the cliff at the Jelly Roll area. To access routes in the Breaker Spur area follow the base of the cliff further right.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To descend climbs on this buttress, there are rap anchors on Mildly Amused (35m), Heat Pump (50m), Warm Glow (50m), Black Magic (47m and 35m: or 60m to bottom of access gully), Dal Nulla (30m), Jelly Roll (35m),Smoke and Mirrors (32m), and Breaker Spur  area (50m and 37m)." id="1"/>

Grunty work through the overhang (going rightwards) leads to some thinner moves on the arete (crux), continue up and then step left onto the ledge. Finish by lay-backing the fin of rock up to the anchors. &lt;br/&gt;Variant, "What's Left" (23): from the U at the overhang go straight up and climb through to the ledge on the left side of the arete.</climb>

On the LH side of Bulging Buttress and obscured in the corner is a prominent line capped by a large overhang. Scramble up over blocks to the base of the line. &lt;br/&gt;1. 25m. Climb up to the overhang, pass it on the L and follow the steep crack to a ledge. &lt;br/&gt;2. 25m. Continue up a short, awkward corner to a large ledge then straight up to base of the black corner. &lt;br/&gt;3. 30m. A demanding pitch. Up the vee-chimney, jam through the bulge and continue pleasantly to the top. Descend by walking down Avalanche Couloir or arranging a tape abseil.</climb>
  <climb name="Cold Power" id="15" fa="Pete Steane, D. Fife, Mar 1996." grade="21" length="30m" extra="↓" stars="***" number="7.">A scary start and a pumpy finish. This route is on the wall of the buttress R of The Wizard. It might be advisable to have your belayer stay down in the gully below to avoid the 4m horizontal fall factor 1.0 from the belay. Either way, if you fall off the bottom section your gear is unlikely to hold so take your pick: risk become a gurgling bloody mess via the 4m horizontal or painlessly take the 20m death plunge.</climb>

Up the groove past three ancient pitons to a ledge at 35m near the Warm Glow (WG) rap station. Bridge R and make an intimidating move into the bottomless chimney. Continue up line to a a large ledge with a bollard belay. &lt;br/&gt;2. 30m. Climb the chimney at the back of the ledge then up slab to a small tea-tree at the base of double-cracks in a corner. Climb the cracks and finish via the left line up a short chimney to top. Descent: A 45m rap from threaded slings reaches the WG rap station. Then a 50m rap to base of cliff.</climb>
  <climb name="Black Magic" id="11" fa="K. Carrigan, I. Lewis, Jan 1975." grade="18" length="53m" extra="↓" stars="***" number="12.">A Pipes classic that is now generally done as a single pitch. Takes the line R of centre on the steep south-facing wall. Scramble 15m up the weakness to the top of the step. Climb the slab to a stance below an over-hanging crack. Jam up and over a spike then up the crack to a ledge. A thoughtful move L and up into small niche is necessary to gain the base of a wide crack equipped with finger jams. Up and step right onto the wall then back left into the crack to reach the next ledge. Continue up the hand-crack to a pea-pod. Step R at this point to the prow and Black Magic rap station - 47m to top of the step, with a second rap (35m) from there to the ground.</climb>

Climb Black Magic to just above the bulge at about 15m, and step R onto the face, past a spike, and either 1) climb the crack on the LH side of the huge detached flake or 2) traverse R another metre and climb the off-width on the RH side of the flake. Continue directly up the face above via a fist and hand crack, trending R and finishing up the prow to the BM rap bolts.</climb>

  <text class="text" id="29">The access track meets the cliff at the base of the next routes. They climb the wall just right of the prow and finish on the step in the buttress.

Start at the crack at the very foot of the spur.&lt;br/&gt;1. 36m. Climb the crack and then the rib mainly to the L of the arête. At the 1st platform, walk a couple of metres to the RH end of the blank wall and climb up and R to a 2nd platform. Belay at the LH end of the 2nd platform, on the crest of the spur.&lt;br/&gt;2. 24m. Up a short chimney just L of the crest, passing an old rusty peg (still there 2012), and climb a short nose to a terrace. Continue up towards a prominent corner.&lt;br/&gt;3. 26m. Various alternatives, all a bit vegetated: &lt;br/&gt; (a) Climb straight up the corner for 8-10m, move R into the next line and follow this to a ledge with two U bolts on the wall. (Climbed and cleaned in Nov. 2012)&lt;br/&gt; (b) Climb straight up the crack and follow the corner to a ledge.&lt;br/&gt; (c) Move L up the chimney and exit through the bulge;&lt;br/&gt; (d) Move L and up the rib on sloping ledges;&lt;br/&gt;Either abseil from the U bolts at the top of pitch 3 (50m) followed by a 2nd abseil (two U bolts, 37m) to the ground or:&lt;br/&gt;4. 15m.

Micro-cams come in useful on the first pitch and a large cam is comforting on the second pitch. Start at the toe of the spur, just to the R of Breaker Spur crack line.&lt;br/&gt;1. 20m 15. Climb easily up the horizontals and then straight up the face of the spur to below a small roof. Hand traverse R and up to belay in the bottom of the corner.&lt;br/&gt;2. 17m 15. Follow the crack, with its hidden surprises, and pull up over the jammed block. From the RH end of the platform climb up and R to DBB. &lt;br/&gt;3. 12m 16. Climb the crack on the L till a move can be made out onto the LH arête, keeping the hollow sounding flakes well to the R. Exposed climbing up the arête and wall to belay on a fin of rock. Finish up Breaker Spur or rap off.&lt;br/&gt;Descent: Rap station to bottom (49m). &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</climb>

A strong line up the L facing black corner 10m R of Breaker Spur. Scramble up steeply to start at the "ledge" on the L. Possibly best climbed as one long sustained pitch - but take plenty of mid-sized cams.&lt;br/&gt;1. 26m 17. Easy climbing up to the base of the crack which is climbed using the L face and R arête until face holds on the L wall lead to the hakea above the small roof. Climb past tree and up and L to triple bolt belay.&lt;br/&gt;2. 20m 16. Step back R into the corner and climb the terrific crack line, gently over the Sword of Damocles, to belay at a spike on a ledge on the L. Abseil from rap station down the line ( 46m).</climb>

It would be prudent for belayers to stand out of the possible line of fire...&lt;br/&gt;Start as for Breakout and climb up the dense vegetation to the airy face above.
