access issues
The climbing is on a coarse granite (Stanthorpe Adamalite). Most of the climbing areas are above well used bushwalking tracks. Be mindful of bushwalkers and tread lightly. This area has had access problems in the past and underlying 'ban climbing' tensions are still around. Climbing is banned altogether on the First Pyramid and Sphinx Rock. Stay off climbs here at ALL times. Ref 2010 Management Plan
ethic
Note almost all the sport climbing is on Carrot Bolts. Bring bolt hangers.
DO NOT PLACE ANY NEW BOLTS anywhere in the Park Boundary. As per the 2010 Park Management Plan. Climbing is banned altogether on the First Pyramid and Sphinx Rock. Stay off climbs here at ALL times.

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
