a short band of light scrub, aiming for the obvious main spur.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Follow the faint pad and some cairns/ tags past Back to The future 3 to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. From here head up the ridgeline into No Man&apos;s Land. There is a few cairns heading up the ridge but the climbers track heads to The Harder The Fall which should have 2 cairns in front of it&apos;s downhill side slab. From here break away from the other cairns by turning to uphill left and heading towards the How&apos;s Your Father Face. You will then cross a small creek and be in The For A Few Dollars More area. Follow this ridgeline up past the cave to it&apos;s high point and you should be able to see the main area across the next creek. Either head down into that area or keep following the creek up into the Valley. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;" history="Jon Nermut did some exploring and posted some photos back in 2005 with some sporadic development beginning in 2014 through to 2020. There was then a concerted effort by a small group of climbers in the summer of 2021/2022, when most the current problems were climbed." intro="The Mt Lyell boulder field is a huge expanse of conglomerate boulders spread all over the slopes of Mt Lyell, just outside Queenstown.

The easy ones with minimal cleaning and the harder ones have been cleaned for the first ascensionists beta. Check your holds before committing, especially on the high balls. Cleaning of loose or dangerous rock is essential here and some of that requires a bit of force and maneuvering but please avoid chipping or comforting of holds. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;" acknowledgement="By Moses Bassett &amp; Ben Thorp" rock="Conglomerate" sun="Afternoon" walk="15-90 min" id="20" name="Mt Lyell Boulders"/>
