Description

Almost directly opposite 'Relations Boulder' on the right side of the river - facing Wappa Dam Wall.

Access issues inherited from Wappa Falls

Warning signs are present regarding water with submerged obstacles and strong currents. Please respect that people have passed swimming at this spot in the past and to always check landing and water before climbing, and NEVER swimming or climbing new water after large rain events.

Up the river is the back of Wappa Dam, please respect the wall and not try climbing it.

Further down the river exists private property. Haven't talked to land owners yet to discover if their land extends to the water, or ends before it. Either way please respect them if you are exploring, as you represent the whole climbing community when out and about.

Approach

Follow River upstream toward the dam wall until you reach Relations Boulder before crossing the river and heading about 10m back downstream.

Ethic inherited from Wappa Falls

A lot of potential for new boulders up and down the creek and water holes. Please respect private properties down the river and the dam wall further up river.

Remember your actions reflect on the whole climbing community so please limit chalk, be mindful of noise and language (many small kids and families do swim here) and ensuring we leave the places tidier than we often find them.

Grade Route

Under The little overhang, sit start. Left hand pinch, Right hand in the crack. Move up and to the left to top out.

FA: Jacob Milligan, 2020

Start the same as 'Internal Medicine' however instead of moving left, top out straight up and over the middle of the nose.

FA: Jacob Milligan, 2020

Very Similar to Gynaecology - Start with right hand in pocket and top out slightly right of the nose, left of the little tree.

FA: Jacob Milligan, 2020

Start with both hands in the pockets and head up the orange rock, using only the pockets before topping out.

Might be easier than thought - last climb after a long day. Will reconsider the grade in time and more ascents.

FA: Jacob Milligan, 2020

Super awkward start move, with both hands on the jugs with the grass growing out. Pull up and mantle top out.

FA: James Hurrey, 2020

Start far left of the boulder, moving low along the ridge to top out just before the nose.

Questionable little traverse with a good, if funny sounding, medical advice. Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer amongst young man. See Movember.com for more information.

FA: Jacob Milligan, 2020

An extension of 'Check the Testes'. Continue with Check the Testes, but stay under the nose, and top out between the two small trees grouping on the right side of the Boulder.

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.
