Another crack with an undercut start. Up over the roofs on decaying rock past three bolts with chain links, with dynamic moves to reach anything that might stay on. Continue up the crack, watching for loose holds. Not highly recommended. Joe Arts '98

Start directly below a trucated hanging groove, just left of the arete. Up on small holds to wire placements in a small crack; then rightward past a bolt with hanger and up the groove.

Start on good rock directly below Sideshow to gain crack (small wires). Turn the overhang on the left to climb the wall (crux at first bolt) going straight up to the top. There's pro behind a possibly loose block near the top. Watch for loose holds. Marcus Thomas '95

Jenny the Hun is best abandoned while Winnie the Orifice and Rooster Booster has become Winnie the Rooster 17 with 4 bolts and its own ring and chain. This seems to be the safest bit of rock around these 3 old climbs.

Car Culture starts up the wall and then takes the crack with cams left of the bolts. The route to its right is "Share the Road" which uses the bolts of CC but climbs the wall on its right near the arete to a fourth bolt.

Located to the left of Seismic Activity. The first bolt is a chain link. Sloped jugs/crimps make up most of the climb, although the two crux's use sneaky side-pulls. Be aware of some loose flakes to the left of the climb. Twin Ring anchor.

Prior to the June earthquake Farm park was looking like one of the surviving crags on the Port Hills. After the quake a section of about 30 m long starting left of Sideshow area collapsed
