SIGN CEMETERY

From the Sundial Turntable follow the walking track towards The Pinnacle. As you reach the Fallen Giant, a large slab of grey rock that has become detached from the side of the cliff, there is a vague track heading off down right past a rock shelter and down a rocky gully. When a slab of rock in the creek bed is reached, a quick glance to the left will reveal a sign "The Pinnacles". This marks the start of the cliff.
Time from car:
Climbs are described from left to right.

No Sign Of Blood 45m 20
Start 1m right of Sign Your Life Away. A bit run-out. Up the arête and flake to the horizontal, then up the face to the ledge. Exit left. Geoff Butcher, Chris Lawrence. 20.4.91

Sign Your Life Away 45m 21
This climb takes the shallow corner in the centre of the first unbroken wall reached from the descent track/gully at the left hand end. The delicate corner, through the overhang and up the "chicken heads" to a ledge and exit left. Wayne Maher, Chris Baxter, Dave Gairns. 15.2.87

Passiona 45m 15
Left of the above climb, past the first undercut section of cliff and before the second. Up the corner and flake, left under the roof and up the arête. Derek Visser, Ann Scholes. 11.4.87

Sign Of Bad Weather 45m 18
Starts 3m right of Passiona. 1. ?m Up the wide crack and move right to ledge with tree. 2. ?m Up the corner behind the tree to a ledge, exit left. Geoff Butcher, Chris Lawrence. 20.4.91

Always A Bad Sign 45m 19
Start 3m right of Sign Of Bad Weather. An ugly chicken head route. Up the flaky looking crack, moving left to finish at the top of Sign Of Bad Weather. Geoff Butcher, Chris Lawrence. 20.4.91

Signing Off 35m 17
At the arête left of the central orange finger crack wall. 1. 25m Climb the crack and go right up the easy ramp. Go straight up the wall above to a small corner which is climbed to a ledge on the arête which has a pair of rocking blocks. 2. 10m The wall above to a disconcerting finish. Chris Baxter, Glen Donohue, Derek Visser. 11.4.87

Sign On The Dotted Line 15m 21
Starts 3m right of Signing Off, the first line on the red wall. Follow the steep line via flakes to a ledge, either continue on or rap off. Wayne Maher, Glen Donohue, Derek Visser. 11.4.87 One rest was used by the leader, eliminated by the seconds. FFA Geoff Butcher. 20.4.91

Sign From Above 45m 20
An exciting wall and roof on the second pitch. Past the orange wall through some chockstone boulders, one wades through refuse to the base of the prominent line up the orange wall (at the right hand end of the cliff). 1. 20m Up the recessed line taking the corner on the left side of the steepening to a ledge. 2. 25m Up the recessed line taking the corner on the left side of the roof and corner above to the top. Glen Donohue, Wayne Maher. (alt) 11.4.87
