Shadowfang Block

  • Grade context: AU

Access: Hillwood is OPEN!! Please read before climbing...

Hillwood climbing has finally reopened after many years of closure. Exciting times! Georgetown council has negotiated a lease agreement with the land owner, but it remains PRIVATE PROPERTY - so please adhere to best behaviour, so we do not once again lose access!!

  • No overnight stays or camping

  • No fires or fuel stoves

  • No animals or pets

  • No firewood collection

  • No trespassing onto neighbouring paddocks, or interfering with livestock

Also - please consider carpooling from home, or from the nearby Hillwood Football Oval to manage current carpark capacity. Try to park tightly within the marked spaces, and DO NOT park along Craigburn Road if carpark is full!!

Refer to the updated guide here for any new approach details, as there have been extensive track works/realignments across the property. Major junctions are now signposted, and all tracks have been flagged with tape. Many routes have also had their hardware inspected &/or rebolted.

Please look after the crag, yourself, and each other - happy climbing!!

Access issues inherited from Far Side Bouldering

Old access was via the Rock of Ages Track - but could be easier via the newer Far Side Track. The scrub and nettle have come back fierce after a few years of dormancy. Any updates after reopening appreciated..

Be mindful of nesting falcons between August - December, and climb elsewhere if they are disturbed

Approach

This boulder sits in the gully just to the right of the end of the Far Side Track

Ethic inherited from Far Side Bouldering

Please just brush where there is a hold, the lichen contrasts strongly with brushed holds and any excessive brushing can leave an unsightly bald patch.
