Description

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.

Approach

Start out on the right hand side then traverse left with some sharp but nice jugs (we used some heel hooks). Top out sort of in the middle of the boulder with a mantle and good handhold to assist.

Ethic inherited from Coomba Falls

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.

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

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
