History

History timeline chart

Being admired by 100s of people daily, this boulderable cliff line is customarily covered in tourists snapping photos or couples making out. This all changed in early 2013 went it was coveted for its bouldering by Ranger Dave. Initially written off as far flung problems to be tried another day, he revisited it in April after fellow developer "The Heel" Flanagan too sniffed around Lady Macquaries Chair. This started a bouldering frenze, with many project routes set.

This crag is a product of the great bouldering boom!

Jump up to match hands on the left most ledge of the solid face. Campus up to the good face holds and then move up the left arete being mindful of the chossy sandstone under your left hand. At the checkered face the grade does drop to more of a high V1, but the height, gasping Asian tourists and the pump keeps "this is Australia" a satisfying V3

Committing campus start, Amazing backdrop, plenty of room for crash mats and the undivided attention of tourists makes this a classic must do boulder problem

FA:

Open Project for anyone feeling strong!

follow the right side of the thin wall, owning the starting Campus

Set:

Start on the big side pull right on the tree. Up.

Start at the open book corner (read here between attempts) out to jug on lip and up without touching the left wall. Tricky exit!

FA:

Traverse the wall under the overhang to the book corner, up and out through the big jug on the lip.

Start at the side pull and large (very) sandy pocket then out to the large pinch left, to the large jug right then up. Weird top out.

Start low with your foot in the sandy pocket furthest to the left - head up to the small pinch and then match the sloper, top out

FA: Ryan Rutledge

Start on double undercling, dyno easily to the arete and up, bridging (delicately) right and up through jugs.
