Description:

This newly found little crag sits just above the creek which formed it and became apparent to Chris Warner who developed most of the climbs, after the 2003 bushfires cleared the landscape. The rock quality here is excellent with some great routes at all grades. Probably the most accessible crag in Canberra. Look for a small fire trail on the right at the end of the left sweeping curve, well before the now accepted turnoff to Gibraltar Peak - keep an eye out for the creek gully and its passage under the road. Park 50m down the road and follow the faint track on the northern side of the creek for 5 minutes. Its hard to find first off.

Approach:

Leave Corin Rd at Longitude148.94667, Latitude -35.47771. Park at Longitude 148.94618, Latitude -35.47600.
