Soft sandstone cliffs, generally cooler than Nowra, and far less crowded. It sees less traffic, so take a brush, and keep an eye out for loose holds.

The crag is located in Morton National Park, so the usual rules apply.
The climbing areas are split by the Braidwood road. There are two parking spots depending on which side of the road you wish to climb on.
From Canberra/Nerriga, drive 6.8KM east of Nerriga on the Braidwood Road. Cliffs will rise from the roadside as the road steepens. The main area parking is on the left (North) side of the road after a large embankment and immediately below some cliffs before a large rising road bridge.
From Nowra, drive along the Braidwood road passing Tianjara falls and Sasafrass. At the edge of the escarpment the road will drop as you see the cliff line. Parking is on the right just after crossing a descending road bridge.
The main parking area is immediately next to the road, it has recently been asphalted making it more obvious and is suitable for all vehicle’s. See individual areas for best access from here. It is also possible to park out of sight across the road.
The Gym and environs are accessed by parking at the main parking spot and going underneath the bridge and following the cliff line on your left facing towards the bridge. if you take this method you will spat out at the far end of Orange wall and from there you can walk to the rest of the areas. (this is quite a bush bash ATM but it will get better with traffick.) If you plan on climbing at The Gym you need to take a different way. the Gym is accessed by driving past the main carpark (going uphill) for 100 metres or so and turning right into a spot where you can park your car. there will be a gate that is sometimes locked but usually isnt. if the gate is locked then you park here and walk up the hill but if its unlocked and you have a 4wd you can drive to the top of the gym. from here walk down an access gully on your right and clip into the fixed rope.
Standard Nowra, bolts everywhere but make sure you know how to place them and always use glue-ins
