Description

A series of caves and boulders in a shady jungle like gully upstream of the Hide Away climbing but accessed from Bensley Rd. Named after the jungle like location and the plethora of rotting black pots, most likely used to grow mary jane in the dense bush. Some fantastic steep scoopy roof style problems in these caves and more potential in the area.

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.

Approach

5-10 min

Head for the corner of Bensley and Mercedes Rds Ingleburn, turn or continue about 700m south down Bensley Rd to the high voltage power lines crossing the road. Park next to the access gate / large concrete blocks, just past the open paddock. Go through the access gate and walk down (overgrown grassy track) with the paddock fence on your L to a cleared track that parallels the paddock. After about 200m you will come to the end of this track and a small rusty gate. Go through the rusty gate into a grassy area and head diagonally L down the hill following a roughly cleared track, passing/stepping over barbed-wire fence, to the creek. Cross the creek and go L following the creek for 100m to the first cave. (For the first cave you need to re-cross the creek). Continue along the creek to the other caves, boulders and faces (4 - 5 caves and a number of boulders).
