Description

Access issues inherited from New South Wales and ACT

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. For more information, including donation details, visit https://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting/

Approach

30m to the left and slightly separate from the main crag, an area of overhanging sandstone 10m up off the path.

Ethic inherited from North Shore

Respecting the enviroment and keeping crags clean will maintain a healthy and important relationship between the climbing community, local councils and National Parks. Carry out what you take in and enjoy what the North Shore has to offer.

If you come across an area that is being developed or you think could be under development, please show all due respect to the developers and do not climb the projects listed on thecrag.com.

Grade Route

Lip Traverse from the obvious horizontal break right of the roof all the way along the lip to finish in the wide corner crack.

A more logical finish. Start as for Minuteman and finish up 2.

Two feet right of '2'.

Stand & grab first crimps. Campus your way up until you run out of cliff or your feet stop dangling.

FA: Some old fella, 1800

Starts by underclinging a large flake just right of the big corner crack. Right to a large pocket on the arete and then up.

Contrived. Start: Undercling the large flake and go straight up to a match with both hands in the thin break.

The corner crack.

The best problem on this wall. From the wide corner crack traverse left keeping below the roof to finish at or near the crack.

Centre of the wall, there's an old (ex?) carrot and a drilled pocket. Up and right from here.

As for '5', but haul up left on slightly less dodgy holds.

Crack. Yuck?

Flake system through the roof.

Light coloured scoop further left of '8'. Standing start trending left.

There's no need to camp out and trek for hours to get to world class problems, they're right on your door step.

Authors Mike Forward and Peter Balint spent over 7 years putting this guide together and is the first new bouldering guide for Sydney in over 20 years. It's over 350 colour pages including 600+ colour photo tops, crag tops, amazing images and more.
