Dreaded Boulders Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

description

Area of bouldering east of Perth. Info obtained from Climbers WA and http://mushy.smugmug.com/

access issues

To get there drive down hill 500mtrs past the school at the end of Helena Valley road.There is a small parking area on the left hand side of the road with a pipeline crossing a small creek. Follow the small trail for approx 5min then head left up hill towards the boulders.

There is a range of problems from V0 to V8 here with few lines left to go.When you've finished here head back down into the valley follow the creek till you reach the lower area on the left. If you see a large blank grey arete you've found Inner Vision V6 and the lower area. Possible hard lines left to go here.

approach

Drive downhill 500m from the school at the end of Helena Valley Rd.

For Powerlines you’ll see a white gate on the right. Follow this track until you see the first Powerlines on your left, you’ll see Magnetic Force and The Fourth Trimester just behind it.

For Outpost use the other gate 100m back towards the school from the white gate, and follow this trail until you see the homestead on your right. You’ll see the orange face with a crack through it up to the left with Counterfeit Gods.

For the Frontline boulder keep on that same trail for a while till it curves around to the west and you’ll see the boulder to the right just after an intersection in the trail.

For Area 1 and Area 2 use the trail 100m past the white gate, just at the bend in the road.
