Description

About 300 m upstream from tourist descent track (the Aviary). Overlooks a swimming hole with a sandy beach opposite, and some bouldering. Bolts are 8mm U-bolts and possibly dangerous. A re-bolting mision could be required to un-lock these gems

Access issues inherited from Kalbarri

The Parks Service are welcoming to climbers, however there are some minor restrictions. Camping is no longer permitted in the Gorge itself, however Z Bend Group Campsite is open to climbers for $8 per person per night. The site is off-limits when booked by school/scout groups, so it is worth calling in advance before making the journey north. Registration and booking can be made at the Kalbarri National Park Visitor Centre on Grey Street, or by phone (08) 9937 1140. Note also that a WA Parks Pass is required for entry.

Ethic inherited from Kalbarri

There used to be a "No Swearing North of Northampton" rule. Breaking it, particularly at The Prom, would earn you push-ups as dictated by Remi. A boulder in The Pit derives its name from this now mostly abandoned rule.

Start about 3m R of the chimney. Straight up to the second horizontal break, then veer slightly L (less than a meter) and back slightly R to finish R of rooflet. Despite being as sandy as the beach across the river, it offers great face climbing movements. FA: Kelly Boladeras, Remi Vignals – 9/09/2014

Start as for "Camp X". Climb into the ledge left of the first bolt of "Camp X" and careful step over to start of Wombat Amnesia. Then climb easily up corner crack system. Going direct at the bolt is also possible at Grade 16. Follow crack through open roof. Descent via 30m abseil from tree (60m rope sufficient but tie knots) or gully to left. Probably a fair bit easier than 15 and really really good.
