This area has an awesome boulder cave with potential for some rnice really hard lines on thin crimps. There is also a heap of bolted climbs on either side of the road. Some look quite hard. Mostly equiped with oversized glue in hex head bolts.
Turn off the F3 freeway at Ourimbah, turn at roundabout and head north parallel to freeway till you can turn left and go under freeway following signs to Palmdale. Follow this road for a few km's till you see a sign for the logging road up the dirt hill (Middle Ridge Rd). Follow this steep poorly maintained road till you come to the obvious rock cutting. The climbs are on either side of the road.
It may still be possible to access the location from the northern side along Yarramalong Rd via Red Hill Rd (turn at the Tree Tops turn-off). Follow this until you can turn left to continue along Middle Ridge Rd.
Middle Ridge Rd is closed and blocked at the intersection of Palmdale Rd. You can park here or nearby and walk (uphill the whole way) approx. 25-30 minutes to the rock cuttings. Alternatively the road is still accessible by trail and mountain bikes.
