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.

Grade Route

PUMPY! Start at the hidden undercling 30cm to the right of the hand rail to get up on the wall and traverse to the brown wall at the very end. To exit either step off onto the brown wall for an easy finish or round the corner as the final challenge. If you take the Pepsi challenge and go for the hard finish make sure your heals DO NOT touch the brown wall, stand tall on your toes, round the corner and step off onto the cement cover.
