Einträge in Pony Boulders

These boulders are on the other side of the ridge from Niblo and may be best accessed from the Kambah side of the ridge rather than Chapman. As you wander along the walking trail at the bottom of the hilly parts of the ridge from sun blocks or the other boulders, you'll see two distinct sets of boulders close to one another - those closest to Kambah are Horse Paddock Boulders whilst those closest to Sun Blocks are Pony Boulders.

Slabby V0 climb.

A nice climb with plenty of holds and a finish that really gets the blood pumping.

Straight up, match foot/hand in the midway crack while balancing. Don't go too far right.

Slightly easy for the grade - big holds and easy going. This is also the downclimb off the boulder.

Cooleman Ridge

is CNP land, the Plan of Management can be found here. The entire reserve is classified as Zone 2, and will be managed to direct damaging activities to previously disturbed areas.

While recreation is considered a priority for Cooleman Ridge, care should be taken to avoid damage to the habitat of the vulnerable Pink-Tailed Worm-Lizard which likes the same areas we do.

Table 7.4: Bouldering - Best Practice:

- From the PoM:

• Do not create informal tracks or damage vegetation
• Do not move rocks or fallen branches
• Do not disturb plants and animals
• Keep group sizes small
• Be considerate of other users Take care of vegetation when placing mats for protection
• Brush any chalk off the rock with a soft bristled brush when you are finished
• Carry out all waste
• Respect regulations and closures.

Adherence to these practices should allow Cooleman Ridge to remain open and provide a low commitment bouldering area for those summer afternoons.

Notes:

• Worm Lizard action plan

Sit start on left side of the obvious flake, then straight up flake to top.

Go around the back of the boulder with #56 find obvious hole crawl through and get squeezed. flip upside down and get a footjam, reach for a jug and mantle from lip. End up right of #56.
