Nodes in Above The Waterfall

The style at Maidenwell to date has been traditional climbing. Bolt placements are belay anchors only, and these are stainless expansion bolts with fixed hangers. There is some potential for bolting the listed routes and new routes. I hope that sanity and logic prevail in endeavours of this kind. Bear in mind that overt bolting may impact on access here. Time will tell. Always give due regard to rock fall and work to reduce its incidence, as there may still be some loose rock on the listed climbs. The waterhole and picnic area have regular visitors on weekends, so be conscious of anyone in your climbing vicinity. Once the obvious loose rock is removed, the surface is very reliable.

The Conch is situated 35m upstream of the falls edge and forms a vertical bank to the granite stream-bed. It is on the same side as Cherry Wing; this is the car park side. It has the likeness of a whopper boulder, and will likely produce several lines.

A ripsnorter deltoid warmer. This beautiful piece of granite has been graffitied in painful blue paint reading “Fuck the Police”; some poor soul has been listening to far too much NWA. Begin at the right side of this long traverse and monkey arm your way 10m to the left, finishing in the corner.

Sit start deep in the hole with a toe hook, ride the lip and mantle at the highest point.

Located left of The Conch.

Start matched on slopey rail at right hand of seam. Move up and left before firing straight up through the water runnel

Start as for 'Bombs in the Valley,' but ride the arete all the way to top out.

Use holds in seam and small face holds to blast your way up the middle of the wall.

Start at bottom of the seam. Use the seam and crimps on face to move up and left to top out.

Located left of the Bombs Away Boulder.

Stand start, up the slab to a delicate top out.

The wall is right above the stream close to the waterfall edge

A small route about 5 meters off the waterfall cliff, right above the stream. It starts to the left and goes right and up. Follow the crack line. It needs some delicate footwork to send it. Have fun!

Named after the gentleman who found the boulder problem. Located on the right side of the stream about 15-20 meters upstream from The Conch. Could potentially start on the very right on the arete but couldn't figure out the beta.

Extension to Zin's Traverse, starting matched from the arete. Adds a few kinda burly moves. Fun and satisfying traverse.

The big slab right above the waterfall

Stand start below the twin diagonal seams.
