Description

The area clustered around the big boulder visible from the road.

Access issues inherited from Laurel Camp Rd

Dirt roads, but all 2wd usable if you are slow and careful

Approach

Straight up the hill, about 50m above the parking spot. There's a small path to get you through the brambles, towards the left of the parking area when looking up the hill.

Ethic inherited from The Stones

Please keep it natural - there's lots of good rock here, and no need to modify.

Grade Route

On the right side of the first big boulder you can see from the road. Follow the set of balanced flakes up the left arete and step up onto the slab above.

FA: Dane Evans, 16 Jan 2016

Stand start on the ledge, up from Tumbling Dice. Start a couple of metres left of Edgey, with some half decent crimps. Up the slab to reach the end of the horizontal flake (be careful with the end of the upper flake, which is a bit loose), then head slightly right across the upper part of the block following good edges, to finish about a metre left of Edgey. It's also possible to traverse in to the top part from along the flake, starting as for Edgey Sit, at around v2.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Stand start on the narrow ledge. Straight up the right side of the wall, with great edges all the way.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Sit start as for Stones Throw, then traverse the nice flake to join Edgey.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Sit start at good features about a metre left of the right arete, and then straight up.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Up the slab, on the opposite side of the boulder to Stone Cold.

FA: Pete, 2016

Sit start left of the tree, on the boulder a few metres behind Edgey. Up and over the flake, and onto the main block.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Stand start right of the tree. A hard start, with good compression (look for the crimpy right hand sidepull and the undercling toe hook) and layback moves up the seam. A harder sit start also looks possible.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Stand start up the excellent undercut prow, to the right of Dry Stone Wall. An easy layback start up the left side of the prow and walking feet up the adjacent block, before committing to the airy finish up the prow itself. A harder variant without using the adjacent block is still to go.

FA: Maddy, Aug 2016

The wall behind Just 14. Sit start at the good jug, and straight up.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Sit start as for Skipping Stones, but follow the seam to finish around right.

FA: Pete, Aug 2016

Sit start and up the crack

FA: Callum, 17 Sep 2016

Stand start 2m right of Trivial and up the blunt arete

#historic This route no longer exists: A large flake used to lean on a bolulder a few metres up the hill from the Stones Throw boulder.
