Mary's Rock All Trad climbing 1 route in crag

The drive between Namalu and Nakapiripirit takes you quite close to some nice looking rock. A very short walk from the road will let you put your hands on the rock. We have tested numerous rocks along this road and always opted to move on after little climbing because the rock is too brittle to climb on. Trusting protection in such rock is unlikely and flakes and jugs will come up right in your hand.

Consider hiking Mt. Kadam while here. It is a great hike and a nice alternative to the dodgy rock climbing in the area.

There is a good climb rated very difficult up a crack past a large tree called Waiting on Amanda. Park your car here and hike up to the face. Climbs are about 20m. Hike around to the top looked possible, but we didn’t bother as we just abseiled down. Locals are very curious and don’t seem familiar with climbing.
