seasonality

Summary:: Boulder,Top Rope
Long/Lat: 151.193025, -33.864918
Unique Features And Strengths:: Hundreds of meters of sandstone wall, 20 mins walk from the city, car parking right next to the climbs, lit at night, wheelchair access (might be useful when leaving)
Description:: This cliff has been partially blasted out to make room for the road below. You can traverse most of the full length, and there are 10 to 15 meter climbs. The fence and steps above look like they will make good anchor points for a top rope. Unfortunately quite a bit of the rock is soft and sandy.

Approach:: Park right next to the climb, or catch the 443 bus over from the city, or take a 20 minute walk over from the city.
Ethic: inherited from Inner West: Respect to the enviroment and keeping crags clean will maintain a healthy and important relationship between the climbing community, local councils and National Parks. Carry out what you take in and enjoy what the Inner West has to offer.

If you come across an area that is being developed or you think could be under development, please show all due respect to the developers and do not climb the projects listed on thecrag.com

1.1. Giba Wall 3 routes in Sector

Summary:: Boulder,Top Rope
Long/Lat: 151.192343, -33.863887
Description:: An old harbour side quarry from ye olden days. Not the best rock around but pretty good if you're in need of getting your chalked up hands on some rock for some training before your next trip.
Approach:: Park on Pirama Road and make sure you pay for the parking. Parking Rangers patrol the area looking for a chance to raise some revenue.
