Description:© (adRock)

There use to be a big edge on the State Of Origin problems but some vandal smashed it off, so you now need to pop for the smaller holds in the break.

Approach:© (adRock)

From corner of Blaxland and Terrace Roads in West Killara, walk down firetrail (towards the Big Pump), after about 50m take the obvious track on your left. Walk about 200-300m, through caves and under a waterfall, and then a rather inauspicious boulder sits in the middle of the track.

Ethic: inherited from North Shore

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 North Shore has to offer.

About half way between the arete and Bog On Up is a faint feature around head height with two slopes on either side. Grab the slopes and make a series of desperate slaps to the right finishing up Bog On Up.

Start on the lowest holds and pop for the small edges then up over left. There used to be a big edge, but it has been smashed off so this is now probably harder than V3.
