        class="Discussion">A remote and dangerous cliff, it is a huge, compact, east facing wall of water worn grey granite up to 200m in height, about halfway along the Sealevel Traverse. There are few routes on it due to inaccessibility, lack of obvious lines and poor protection. Located ~500m south of Mt.Parsons summit, just before the swim on the Sealevel Traverse. It can be reached by following the Skyline Traverse to the saddle between Mt. Parsons and Mt. Dove and then heading down the gully to the foot of the cliff (over an hour). Alternatively if the swell is gentle it doesn't take much longer to follow the Sealevel Traverse, which is more pleasant. The climbing is mostly poorly protected slab climbing.</text><climb

        stars="">Dick Hain Memorial Route. This climb takes the huge arete on the left hand edge of Flowstone Wall. It starts 30m before the swim on the Sealevel Traverse, beneath a leftwards rising traverse under roofs. 1. 40m Climb short wall of 7m then layback up corner to roof. Traverse left then up overlap to nut belay. 2. 40m Traverse easily left on slab until scrubby corner is reached. 3. 45m Straight up corner past overhangs on top to belay in large chimney on slab. 4. 50m Straight up chimney to bush belay. 5. 45m Continue up slab to bush belay. 6. 50m Up slab. 7. 45m Up slab.

        stars="">The name tells. Approximately 50m right of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy at a small headwall. 1. 40m Up the headwall then up tending left to small ledge. 2. 40m Up tending slightly right to horizontal bushy break. Belay on left hand end of this. 3. 45m Step up left then up the slab above passing bush on left to belay in groove below steepening. Move belay 7m left to first line encountered. 4. 65m Up the chimney and groove above to make an awkward step left and traverse to line just right of bushy gully. Up this to bush belay. Traverse off right then up. K.Lindorff K.Roseberry Jan 77</climb><climb

        stars="">Again the name tells. A strong contender for the waddiest climb on the peninsula. Could be significantly easier with sticky boots, however these can't eliminate the 20m runout. Down ramp left of Crystal Voyager. 1. 45m Up obvious wall slab moving left to right trending corner, up slab following edge of overlap (thin unprotected) until mantle over overlap is possible (waddy). Belay at crack. 2. 40m Up right along overlap (~3m) then move left up on to slab. Up slab (run out) to hold at about 20m (crux just before hold). Very thin. 3. 50m Up ramp, aid overlap (skyhook or shoulder). Move left then up line of holds through right hand end of major arch. Straight up to belay. 4. 50m Straight up slab to belay. 5. 40m Straight up slab to finish. Adrian Herrington B.Kennedy May 83</climb><climb

        stars="***">One of the best routes at Coles Bay. Good protection, excellent climbing and excellent rock should make this route popular. Although graded 22, the climb may be better described as 19 M1. The hard moves at the overlap can be aided easily on bolts to give a fun outing to the 19 leader. The first two pitches follow the huge right trending arc overlap on the left of flowstone wall. This obvious feature can be seen from the top of Mt. Parsons on the walk in. Start at the base of the arc on the left side. It's best to abseil in from above - walk to the top of the first peak of Mt. Dove (as viewed from Sleepy Bay). This is directly above the climb and the next hill up from the gully leading down to the wall. Walk down easy angled slabs to the rap station at the top of pitch 4. Once at the base of the last abseil, scramble left to the start of the climb (don't walk down the gully unless feeling immortal). It's possible to access the climb via the Sealevel Traverse, but this is not the best way to go. Rack: 8 quickdraws, around 7 friends between 1 and 4, double ropes for abseiling. All belays except the first are bolted. 1. 25m 22 (Gear and 2 bolts) Follow the short overlap until it ends. Climb over it just left of the bolt and up to belay at the base of the main overlap. 2. 25m 19 (4 bolts and gear) A great pitch. Undercling and jam the overlap until a bolted belay is reached where an obvious dyke crosses it. 3. 45m 16 (6 bolts) Follow the dyke through the overlap, then up easily to belay below a short steep wall. 4. 20m 19 (3 bolts) Follow the juggy intrusion up the wall, then easily to a large ledge. This is where you rapped from when accessing the route. 5. 17 (6 bolts) An excellent feature up the final headwall. Sam Edwards Rolan Eberhard, Alt. Jan 1996.</climb><climb

        stars="">Pleasant. Involves climbing the prominent 5m corner near the base of the cliff about 30m left of Crystal Voyager. 1. 45m Climb to bottom of corner, climb it and belay on top. 2. 40m Straight up wall and slab above trending slightly right to belay. 3. 65m Straight on to top.

        stars="">Created accidentally as an attempt to climb Crystal Voyager, it is possibly just a more direct version of this route. Climbs on the prominent brown streak just near Crystal Voyager. Sparse protection. Start below brown streak. 1. 50m Climb to tree at base of streak. Up 1m right of streak, following line of least resistance to poor belay in hollow scoop ~5m below a bolt. 2. 50m On via bolt to top. G.Cooper D.Humphries Feb 87</climb><climb
        grade="18" length="160m" name="Crystal Voyager" number=""
        stars="">The classic of the cliff if you can navigate successfully. Directly up RHS of water streak nearest to prominent brown streak on lower part of wall, to RHS of major vertical flake system. 1. 40m Straight up RHS of water streak to belay at small cluster of flakes, half hanging. 2. 40m Up trending left to a bolt at 15m. From here straight up (sustained) to next bolt at 23m from the last, climbing eases a bit after about 15m, belay in crack 3m up and right of second bolt. Hanging belay. 3. 50m Straight up slab, belay where possible. 4. 30m On to top. Adrian Herington B.Kennedy Dec 82</climb><climb
        grade="16" length="135m" name="Prenatal Therapy" number=""
        stars="">It is two water streaks right of Crystal Voyager and below the right hand end of a bracket-shaped ( ) flake. 1. 40m Straight up water streak to belay in horizontal break. 2. 45m Continue up, moving left when the slab steepens, belay where possible. 3. 50m Straight up to belay in a corner. 4. Easily onwards. Adrian Herington Evan Peacock June 1982</climb><climb
        grade="14" length="50m" name="Roll Your Own" number="" stars=""> At the far right hand end of the wall at the easiest place to get onto it as you go right from Prenatal Therapy. About 5 or 6 water streaks to the right of Prenatal Therapy past a very steep section. Climb the water streak. Evan Peacock Garn Cooper May 83</climb>
