Nodes in Pride Rock

Tuggeranong Hill is CNP land, the Plan of Management can be found here. Most of the reserve is classified Zone 1; where conservation is the priority.

Of particular note is the Pink-Tailed Worm-Lizard which likes the same areas we do. Impacting the rocks and vegetation under boulders will result in closures similar to those at Black Mountain.

Table 7.4: Bouldering - Best Practice:

- From the PoM:

• Do not create informal tracks or damage vegetation
• Do not move rocks or fallen branches
• Do not disturb plants and animals
• Keep group sizes small
• Be considerate of other users Take care of vegetation when placing mats for protection
• Brush any chalk off the rock with a soft bristled brush when you are finished
• Carry out all waste
• Respect regulations and closures.

Adherence to these practices should allow Tuggeranong Hill to remain open as a low visitation crag, primarily those in surrounding suburbs.

Notes:

• Worm Lizard action plan

Stand start with a high foot, make use of the nice arêtes on the left side, and then step across to the right to finish.

Stand start at the base of the main face using the right-side arete. Head to the left across the face of the boulder. Stem between the two boulders and top out on the right-side boulder. Try a sit start to make the problem harder. Assess rock quality before climbing - some holds may loosen and become unstable over time.
