New Routes by Crag ~ The Cuttings Boulderfield
| Route Name | Grade | First Ascentionist | Description | Date Climbed |
| Underworld | V5 | Ben Tyrrell | Jimbo most probably has record of this being done before but here goes... Start on the lip to the left of Porn. Start on sharp low crimp (LH) and slopie boss (RH) use heel hooks and campus moves to gain the lip to the right of the supported boulder then follow the lip to the apex left of the supported boulder - supported and supporting boulders are out. | December 23rd 2007 |
| Shark Bait | V2 | Ben Stokes, Rob Kennard, John Howell | 10 metres northeast of the established ?Glitter Gulch? problems is a recently cleared south-facing boulder problem similar in nature and quality to ?Cat Killer?. From a sit down start in a pit using a good flake, slap your way up the leaning face. | November 11th 2006 |
| The first of Jan | V2 | John Leonard | On the largest of the Tunnel boulders. Climb the undercut north east arete(ie the left side of the face from Bling Bling). Sit start under the undercut, hand on the jugs to the right. Climb leftwards under the nose to gain jugs over the top. | January 1st 2007 |
| Bend your arms to look like wings | V5/6 | Ben Tyrrell | On the tank boulder, sharing the start for crouching start, hidden agenda, gain the crimp and the side pull on the left of the groove of CS,HA then power up left to obvious slot and hence the top – slightly eliminate (not using holds on right of groove) but doesn’t feel it. | April 9th 2007 |
| Swoop and Scoop | V2 | Ben Stokes | Found on a newly-uncovered boulder at the southern end of the boulderfield (clealy visible from the Cuttings approach before you reach the New Cuttings). Start up the left arete, traverse the lip rightwards and finish up a scoop. | October 18th 2008 |
