Summary

A large hill in the centre of southside canberra, with many boulders hidden among its trees.

Access issues

Mt Taylor is CNP land, the Plan of Management can be found here. Most of the reserve is classified Zone 1; so 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 Mt Taylor to remain open as a low visitation crag, primarily for beginners and those in surrounding suburbs.
