Summary

Once again a pretty setting but nothing really worthwhile in the way of existing routes. On the Lake Albina side there is a broken buttress about 100m high with a couple of seams running up it. These were climbed by Peter Hopkins in 1987 at grade

20.

Access issues inherited from New South Wales and ACT

If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales.

Grade Route

An apt name. Start about 800m downstream from the gauging station at the exit of Lake Albina. Follow a devious line up the centre of the middle buttress.

  1. Diagonally right into a corner, up to overhang then up and around nose to belay in corner.

  2. Right onto slab then follow a crack left to a grassy niche. Follow cracks and ramps to the top.
