  <header id="1" name="South Sister" autonumber="true" camping="" walk="10 mins" sun="" rock="Vertical dolerite buttresses, up to 25m" intro="Situated at the eastern end of the Nicholas Range, above St. Marys lies South Sister, a beautiful rocky peak rising to 832m, with transmission masts and fire tower on top. Typical dolerite crags abound on the mountain offering some excellent climbs, with a strong emphasis on cranking cracks, as well as some varied routes. The rock is generally sound, and existing routes are clean, but care should still be taken of loose rock. Most routes are naturally protected, so a full rack including hexs and cams is necessary. As the crags face different directions the decision where to climb may depend on: weather conditions, time of year, and time of day. West facing crags are best in summer, especially afternoons, whereas the eastern facing crags are good any time, especially in winter, when the cold westerlies whistle over the top of the mountain and the rock is bathed in winter sun, it is generally dry, though not recommended during an easterly. The crags have a friendly atmosphere, are a great place to perfect your jamming skills and are a good training ground for longer routes, as many cracks are single pitch yet sustained. On a clear day, views of the east coast from Freycinet to Flinders Islands, The Fingal Valley and the mountains of the North East can be gained. The flora, fauna, geology, etc. are fascinating, but that&apos;s another story, enjoy this magical place and stay safe." history="To my knowledge, South Sister was first visited by climbers in the early 80&apos;s by K Bischoff and A Wing then later in 1984 when the party R McMahon, G Narkowicz, D Kearnes, &amp; H Mohler etc. led some excellent lines on the largest east facing buttress; Canyon Buttress. The mountain may have received visits after this initial period, but its climbing potential was rediscovered in Autumn 1995 by myself, P Wines &amp; P Witton, accessing new crags, cleaning cracks, and putting up new routes. Many undescribed lines and problems have been top-roped, due to lack of placements or too hard." acknowledgement="by Ashley Mason, originally published in Craglets." access="Access from St.Marys is via Gardiners Creek Rd (past the hospital), turn right at the crossroads (left is back to highway), up and along Top Marshes Rd for about 3km, and turn left up to South Sister lookout. All outcrops are described in an anticlockwise direction around the mountain, from the main track, and climbs from left to right. From the end of the road, follow the main track. The first outcrop up to the right is &quot;Carpark Buttress&quot;, leave the track when level with it (cairn). "/>

A 4WD will get you within 2 minutes of the climbs.</text>

  <climb id="103" fa="Ashley Mason &amp; Pete Witton,  Apr 96." grade="16" length="27m" name="Tea Pot Crack" number="83.">Climb the obvious large crack, easily at first, becoming more difficult, hand jam at half height, and bridge offwidth to finish under protruding flake.</climb>
  <climb id="108" fa="Jemimah Narkowicz 17/2/13" grade="19" length="27m" name="Leap Of Faith" number="84." extra="8Þ" stars="*">Bolted arête on the far right of the amphitheatre, right of Big Bang Theory and Tea Pot Crack. Pleasant technical face climbing left of the arête with some big holds and not so big holds. For short people, two leaps of faith are required, one to get off the ledge at the bottom and one higher up the route. Rock is suspect in places.</climb>
  <climb id="119" fa="Nick &amp; Heather Hancock, Jun 2014. " grade="23" length="15m" name="Two Broke Girls" number="85." extra="5Þ" stars="*">From the pedestal climb up rightwards to an underct, then fridge hug up to a ledge and DBB. Use extra long slings if top roping off these anchors.</climb>
  <climb id="104" fa="AshleyMason, Pete Witton &amp; Peter Wines,  May 96." grade="18" length="20m" name="Red Light Jam" number="86." stars="**">Climb the hand crack, becoming easier towards top as the crack veers left.</climb>
  <climb id="120" fa="Gerry Narkowicz 23/8/14" grade="24" length="12m" name="Profana-tea" number="87." extra="" stars="**">On the furthest buttress west about 30m right of the main amphitheatre is a short buttress with a neat grey shallow corner up the middle. Good, technical pumpy climbing</climb>
  <climb id="93" fa="Gerry Narcowicz &amp; Ashley Mason  Jun 2003" grade="20" length="15m" name="Not Everyones&apos;s Cuppa" number="88." extra="" stars="">Sharp gritty handcrack facing south east on back of the cliffs. It is accessed by heading up left from The Line of Parapatry.</climb>
