<header id="1" name="South Sister" autonumber="true" camping="St Mary's has free camping at the recreation ground which has good toilet facilities, water and showers. The pub is also great and affordable." 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'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's by K Bischoff and A Wing then later in 1984 when the party R McMahon, G Narkowicz, D Kearnes, & H Mohler etc. led some excellent lines on the largest North 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 & P Witton, accessing new crags, cleaning cracks, and putting up new routes. Many un-described lines and problems have been top-roped, due to lack of placements or too hard." acknowledgement="by Ashley Mason, originally published in Craglets. 2023 updates and topos by C. Speer." access="From St. Marys, go up Franks / Germantown Road opposite the pub. Follow the gravel road for about 4km until you see a turn-off turn to the 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 "Carpark Buttress", leave the track when level with it (cairn). "/>

<text id="29" class="text">Canyon Buttress faces North and is split into an East and West Buttress, with many great crack lines.<br/><br/>Access:<br/>Follow the main track up to the fire tower, as soon as you pass the overhanging boulder just past the memorial plaque, hop across the boulders on your right following the cairns. Go under a small cliff (Car Park Buttress) on your left, following the contour until you reach a small saddle with a small outcrop on the right. Canyon Buttress is in front of you and to your left (you are just about on top of it here). Either walk around to its base or locate a rap-station and rap-in from the top (down the line of The Way We Were).<br/><br/>Descent:<br/>- East Buttress. There is a rap-station above Small Beers and Thin Books and another at the top of The Way We Were.<br/>- West Buttress. There is a rap-station on top of the buttress above Have Hands, Will Jam. Walk-off to climbers' right is also quite easy.</text>

From here, hop over the cable tray and head down the gully to the North, picking up some faint cairns on the way for about 5-10 minutes. The track is rough, but you'll know the top of the buttress when you spot a massive cairn and trees on top of it.<br/><br/>Descent:<br/>Convenient trees are located on top of the cliff as you top out and/or an easy walk-off to the right. Setting-up a fixed line is useful if you have one, for quick belay and descent.</text>

<climb id="103" fa="Ashley Mason & Pete Witton, Apr 96." grade="16" length="27m" name="Tea Pot Crack" number="91.">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="92." 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 & Heather Hancock, Jun 2014. " grade="23" length="15m" name="Two Broke Girls" number="93." 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 & Peter Wines, May 96." grade="18" length="20m" name="Red Light Jam" number="94." 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="95." 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 & Ashley Mason Jun 2003" grade="20" length="15m" name="Not Everyones's Cuppa" number="96." 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>
