Description:© (bundybear)

Slabby Orange wall capped by big roof. A great wall with the main section having a variety of great moderate routes.

Access Issues: inherited from Wingello

Warning! A post was recently put up on Sydney Rockies (March 2013) stating that National Parks have erected a locked gate 200m from the fire fighters memorial and several very large boulders placed on the road at the enterance of the memorial. If this information is true please keep in mind, if you park at the gate there is every chance that another climbing party could park you in resulting in a long stay if you return to your car and don't know where they're climbing. Unless someone does some clearing on the side of the road/track to create some parking you'll have to park on the single lane track also resulting in a long reverse out.

From Sydney: Wingello is about 1 hour from the M7/M5 intersection and the crag itself is about 20 minutes out of Wingello (depending on your car). Wingello is best reached (from Sydney) by busting straight down the Hume Hwy to the turn off just after the Paddy’s River bridge. You can also go through Bundanoon but its probably a bit slower. From Macca’s on the Freeway its 11.5km to the Wingello turn off, and another 8km from there to the Wingello Railway Crossing. Reset your speedo on the railway line or at the shop .

From Canberra:

Reset Speedo at NSW Border on Federal Highway. The BP at Marulan is 110kms or 1hr drive. Wingello turn off is 124.7km or 1hr 10 mins. The railway crossing at Wingello is 131.6km or 1 hr 15mins.
