Plant 3, The Rock Pool Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

access issues

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.

2	★ This isn't Thailand Originally done on trad, this route now has 3 bolts to DBB. Left hand bolted route at crag, an overhanging finger crack with surrounding holds, up centre of buttress. Crack technique not essential. FA: Jason Piper, 2005	22	Sport 8m, 3
3	Next Time The right hand crack of buttress, some stacked blocks. Sports bolt holes but no bolts as yet. FA: Jason Piper, 2005	21	Trad 8m

6	★ Layback corner Up corner with finger crack to ledge then step right onto face and up thin seam, reaching left at top to shared anchors	20	Sport 10m, 4
7	★★ The Fortunate Cookie The left most sport route. Thin moves to pocket then finish on the shared anchor with Tsunami Warning and Traversity.
