Description

Steep roofs and caves. Quite a few lowball lines in the caves but plenty of normal sized stuff too. All bouldering.

Access issues inherited from Nowra

This climbing area has recently become a focus spot for tension between climbers and the local Aboriginal community. Be informed and respect closures. Clean up chalk and rethink adding additional new routes to crags with access issues.

Approach

A few km South of Nowra along the Princes Highway, turn West into Parma Road, a few hundred metres take the first left into Vidler Road. Past the school and at the End of Road signs take a left onto a dirt track. Cars with low (normal) clearance are recommended to park here and walk abit further. Drive a 100m to the parking area, the creek should be flowing in front of you.

Ethic inherited from Nowra

Mostly developed as a sport climbing and bouldering area. Some trad climbing exists, mainly the pure cracks. If developing new areas keep an eye and and ear out for Aboriginal cultural heritage, including cave art.

Sit start at the left end of the long flat shelf. Traverse right until the end then big moves into the pockets to finish on the obvious jug.

FA: Duncan Brown, 2013

Stand start on 2 obvious edges on roof. Tough moves on pockets and undercuts. Finish on obvious jug.

FA: Duncan Brown, 2013

Sit start near back of cave on big flat jug. Out roof on pockets to second roof with juggy flake. Up the last wall using sloping seam then topout with big hole jug.

FA: Pete, 27 Sep 2023

Sit Start 2m right of Crème Brûlée with big hole jug. Powerful moves directly out the roof. Into sloping seam then shared topout.

Reminiscent of Cave Club in the Grampians.

FA: Pete, 27 Sep 2023

Stand start with right jug and left edge. Back and left through small pockets in the roof. Big move to seam then traverse back right to massive jugs for easy topout.

FA: Pete, 27 Sep 2023

Starting by the jug ledge jump off the ground to underneath the flake, up and over to mantle. Very big and intimidating, careful of the creek.

THE GROUND IS IN
could potentially be done without utilising slopy and chossy edges
