| Tom's Way | 1 | Tom Way (originally climbed by Steve Taylor in 2004- editor.) | The slabby back face of the larger Diamond boulder. The easiest route on Portland! Done solo but will be stapled. Nice. | May 14th 2006 |

| Sunset Sessions | F7a+ | Steve Muncaster and Mick Ward | This is the first of three new routes found in the blocky area at the top of Blacknor South. Easy small roof followed by more technical climbing above. | October 23rd 2007 |
| Casting at the Sun | F5 | John Leonard | Right of "Surf sun and just having fun". Climbs the large conglomerate crimps on the upper wall. Currently the 3rd route from the block doorway although others are likely to appear inbetween soon. | October 26th 2007 |
| Memories of Blue | F5 | Mick Ward | Right of "Casting at the Sun". Climb the small overhang via a long reach to a flowstone finger ledge on the upper wall. | October 26th 2007 |
| Vertically Challenged | F3 | Tom Beaumont | The groove just left of 'Sunny Delight' taking a direct line to the LOs of 'Sunny Delight'. Previously soloed nov 07. | December 14th 2007 |
| Sunny Delight | F3 | Steve Muncaster | Just left of Surf, Sun and Just Having Fun. Climbs the flowstone to lower offs on the ledge on the left. | October 23rd 2007 |
| The Mighty Bush | F4 | Vic Middleton | Sharbutt's quarry. The flowstone right of 'Surf, sun and just having fun' via a small overhang. F4+ | January 23rd 2008 |
| Don't Kill Me | F4 | Tom Beaumont | Sharbutt's Quarry. Left of 'Vertically Challenged' now the first route as you go through the block doorway. Good flowstone to finish via cleaned ledges. | February 4th 2008 |
| Sunseeker | F2 | John Leonard | In Sharbutts Quarry. Climbs the flowstone at the foot of the decent into the quarry. | February 21st 2008 |

| Rough Diamond | F4 | John Leonard | On the Diamond Boulder left of Diamond Geezer. Start at the large flake under the overhanging left edge of the slab. Use this to to gain the slab and climb direct to a lower off at the very top. | September 18th 2008 |
| The Hardye Girls | F7a | John Leonard | On the overhanging south face of the larger Diamond Boulder. Make a hard move to gain the overhung groove( use a single screwgate in the first bolt and an alert belayer). Follow the rightward rising traverse to a tricky move to pull out onto the back of the slab. Definitely one for the boulderers. | October 4th 2009 |
| Love in the Mist | F6a | Mick Ward | Right of ‘I Love The Smell of Resin in the Morning’. Pleasantly intricate climbing up the blunt rib. | June 10th 2010 |
