Zustieg

Climbs are listed here from left to right.

A new approach opened up following the 2022 winter storms. From the parking area with the big boulders walk up the road about 10 metres. You'll see a cairn leading uphill into the bush. Take this path; almost immediately you'll find a big gully that heads directly up. Follow this until the base of the cliff (2-3 minutes). At the base of the cliff you'll find a big tree on your right with a fixed rope to take you up the last few loose steps.

From this point, just head right along the cliff-line. You'll reach the first climb, Holy, Holy, Holy, with its distinctive hueco pocket features, within about 30 seconds. Another 2 minutes will get you to Drop Zone and American Woman (the chimney)

Alternatively, if you really want to use the old approach it's mostly still there, though the start is buried in the rubble of the storms. From the parking area, walk up the highway for 50m or so before picking up a taped footpad which heads up the hill. The pad reaches the cliff at the base of the American Woman chimney, which is a useful reference.

Ethik übernommen von Blackwood Rocks

Please NO climbing after significant rain. Climbing on wet or damp sandstone can wear away at the soft rock and cause holds to break.

Crag Stewards

Rock climbers please contact the Crag Steward (mtblackwood@climbersclubtas.org.au) if you have any queries or concerns regarding social or environmental impacts of rock climbing at this crag.

Do not email regarding general travel, seasonal advice, or lost property - this is not the Steward’s role. If you have important safety information to communicate (e.g. risks due to recent and large rock falls) please also consider updates on thesarvo forum, Facebook group and/or online guidebooks as appropriate. Please copy in cct@climbersclubtas.org.au if you feel you have a high-level concern which may imminently impact the crag or climbing community.

Non-climbers, other users, land managers: please also contact cct@climbersclubtas.org.au if you have important climbing related queries at this location.

Other

• The operation and use of drones by park visitors on reserved land including national parks is not permitted

• Peregrine Falcons nest from July - December each year. It’s important that climbers don’t climb near active nests during this period. Known sites (non exhaustive) are: Sand River (Far East, The Panopticon), Bare Rock (R of the Boneyard, L of Bisso of Orange), Rocky Cape, Pubic Wall/Duck Reach, Hillwood, Gunners Quoin, Lowdina.

• Please note that Tasmania has notoriously patchy phone reception for particular service providers. Telstra is the most reliable. An emergency Personal Locator Beacon or similar is recommended kit when climbing in remote locations.

Just about as good as drop-zone. Similar in style. The thin crack leading into the wavy slab-face immediately left of Drop Zone.

Lay-back crack into a technical face climb above. A strong contender for the best at the grade in the Launceston region.

DBB

Climbs the face immediately left of American Woman. Looks great! It also looks really hard, and seems to have been bolted on expansion bolts (and Blackwood Sandstone is pretty soft inside...).

Another hard looking route that doesn't seem to have been claimed. The traversing face climb immediately right of American Woman. Also appears to have been done on expansion bolts (in soft rock).

The line of bolts up the groove with a tree, through broken face to a roof and then up headwall and arete to the top DBB. The tree can be slung for the first piece.

Erstbegehung: Ian Ferrier

Long broken major corner at left end of final buttress

Shares same start as Ruchipa before heading left onto the arete

Steep start into corner

Step left at Far Right Extremist's 3rd bolt following the arching traverse line. Grade and route name needs confirming by FA's..much harder if you stay left towards the top.
