I put up two new routes in Barrington Quarry recently. They are between “Dirty Deeds” and “Gathering the Bones” and easily spotted by ringbolts. I also placed lower-offs on top of “Skin Tight”. These three routes together make a decent morning outing; they are in the shade until 11:30am and then stifling hot.

** Incinerator (23m, 20)

Enjoyable gym-like climbing on large holds, with some unusual body positions and a long final move to get to the anchors. 8 ringbolts to lower-offs, FA: Ross Weiter, Francis Butler, Jun 2012.

** The Burn (20m, 22)

3m uphill from Incinerator. Getting off the ground is tricky but there many other chances to come unstuck on this sustained and sequency route. It gets easier higher up but the pump might still get you. 7 ringbolts to lower-offs. FA: Ross Weiter, Peter Thomas, Angela Separovic, Nov 2012.
