Description

A small bouldering area with lots of fun stuff to climb. The rocks has been graffitied by someone at some point in the past so they are quite easy to recognise. 5 or so meters behind the bigfoot boulder, this boulder has potential for some hard lines.

Approach

10-20 min

Found on the back side of Castle Hill. The MaidenHair Track can be accessed from Skully Street. Follow this path until you cross a gully and see a large boulder split in two on your left; this boulder is called "The Peaces". Take a left and walk off-track and uphill past "The Peaces" and up into the gully. Keep moving uphill until you find the bigfoot boulder which has, among other things, a large green foot spray painted on it.

Ethic inherited from Castle Hill

Be careful of loose rock and of people walking on the trails below the climbs.

History

History timeline chart

It is thought to be first developed by "Madoc Sheehan & Sarah Sheehan" in 1997-1998. "Good problems include a fine overhanging V2/3 traverse about 10m long on big jugs. There are also many good steep up problems from V0 to potential Vhorrible. Check out the left hand arête (V0, V1 and V2) and the gully on the right (3 V0's (1 done by Sarah Sheehan) and 2 V0's on adjoining boulder (also done by Sarah Sheehan). A fine excursion through the middle of the wall (obvious) awaits an injection of courage and strength. The landings are quite reasonable although a spotter would usually be appreciated. Shady in the afternoons." - QRank

A large overhanging face with a large green foot painted on it.

Sit start. Located left of "In and Out". You can see a fish painted in blue to your left. Sit on lone rock, right hand on pinch and right foot on the rock in front. Lay back and swing to left intermediate crimp, then bump up to edge.

Sit-start, move up steep the section of wall on obvious holds to the good ledge, then move dynamically up to final jug and top-out. Sloped landing, with a large rock as a potential hazard. A good spotter is recommended. Harder for shorter climbers.

FA: Luke Middleton, 2016

Obvious traverse in main wall with green foot painted on it. Starting as far to the right as possible, traverse left along the ledge using obvious holds toping-out at "Fished" Sloped landing with a large rock as a potential hazard.

A large Boulder found just uphill of the Big Foot Boulder.

FA: Glen Hayford, 2018

Start on big crimp, traverse right around corner to finish up arete you could have feet on the overhang or one the seperate rocks, it still feels hard
