Summary

A superb classically shaped granite dome. The rock is clean and very grippy and it is the slab routes that stand out here.

Description

Although there is only a limited amount of climbing, there are some good slabs here and 'Deep Space - Sickle' is one of the better multi-pitch routes of its grade in the ACT.

The crag forms a peak of its own and is unmistakable on the left as you drive up the road to Orroral Ridge. Climbs are described from right to left as you face the crag; some of the earlier and easier routes may be overgrown.

Access issues inherited from Australian Capital Territory

If you have benefited from climbing access and infrastructure in the ACT, please consider joining the Canberra Climbing Association (CCA). The CCA spends considerable behind-the-scenes time and effort managing access for the climbing community to ACT climbing areas.

Membership is inexpensive and provides a great way to keep up-to-date with access issues, codes of conduct and general goings on in the ACT climbing community. Membership also provides discounts for local outdoor retail and climbing gyms.

Approach

From Honeysuckle Campground at the end of Apollo Road, follow the Orroral Ridge dirt road for 1.0km (the road crosses a creek, up a steep hill, then a minor creekbed) and park in the vicinity of a vague rise. (Look for a cairn with space on the left side of the road for one car.) Find the pink-tagged footpad on the left. Grunt up the hill for 15-20 minutes. The track pops out in the vicinity of 'Deep Space'.
