Summary

Great beginner crag! Short walk in, well bolted and lots to choose from in the easier grade ranges. Ring bolts with ring bolt anchors.

Description

A small crag with a series of easier sport rotues, all kindly bolted. A flat sunny aspect and short routes makes this a good place for beginning leaders.

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

Approach Popran rd from the north. 100m after you pass the Homnay creek bridge on Popran road a fire trail appears on the left. Park here out of the way. Vague trails start from popran rd about 10m south of the fire trail. Head diagonally right up the hill, passing some rock cairns, through the bush. Once you hit the cliff line head right (looking at the cliff) and you will find the crag. Routes are listed left to right.
