Summary
Small scattered cliffline at the base of Olney State Forest
Description
Small scattered cliffline at the base of Olney State Forest. Sandstone/conglomerate. Quite a lot of choss in some spots but there are good lines scattered throughout the area, and potential for a couple of sport routes. Be careful of Funnel-webs. They're very common here.
Access issues inherited from New South Wales and ACT
If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales. For more information, including donation details, visit https://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting/
Approach
5-10 min
Park at the intersection of Watagan Forest Drive, Watagan Forest Road, and Brothers Road. Walk down Brothers Road for 300m, turn left where you can see a boulder about 20m in and tramp up to the cliffline. Avoid using any used mountain bike tracks as approach trails.
History
No known history although I did find a random single Petzl bolt plate fixed onto the top of the larger cliff there. Possibly from someone scoping the rock out or abseiling.
