Einträge in Orca Area

This area comprises about 3 walls, with Orca taking on the prominant arete right of the big roof. The mossy slab has some newly bolted routes that will improve with traffic.The slab to the right is quite good and should be quite popular.

Inside corner crack, going left through carrot bolt beneath roof to anchor.

Start as for Ceiling Your Fate though go right at the roof and through the anchor of Orca. All trad, avoid the temptation to clip bolts of Orca. In the roof theres a block with jugs on top, i chose to avoid this because of unknown rock quality, climbing the seam below this. Make your own assessment

Starts on left side of arête. Straight up to finish.

Optional friend no longer needed to protect start.

Start on the right side of arête, finish by traversing left to the shared anchors with 'Maddest Hatter'.

RESPECT ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE CLOSURES - there are two closed areas at Thompson's Point containing art - The Mini Wall (under Cowboy Junkies) and the right side of The Pocketed Wall. Respect anyone who is visiting these areas - keep the noise down and give them space to appreciate these important sites. This is an evolving access issue so please keep informed via ACANSW website and Facebook group.

NO CAMPING AT THIS CRAG PLEASE - including the two carparks or any cave at the crag. Council Rangers have been patrolling the area (2019) and telling campers it is not legal to camp here. Rubbish and unattended campfires are also a major trigger point for bad relations with land managers. Council has received complaints from the public and is forced to follow them up. Continued access to these areas is at stake.

Right line of rings up the lichen covered slab. Left handside also available.

A top little route that deserves more attention, and takes on the obvious rounded arete. Finishes at single large U/staple.

Up the wide crack, then right around small roof to ledge. Trad anchor then scramble off the top or walk carefully left to Lichen/Mossy Climb anchors. The middle is a bit runout without big cams (5+). If you do have big cams you could also try taking the crack through the roof, looks fun.

Start: Start at the obvious cleft about 15m to the right of the Orca wall.

Enjoyable stroll, with a tricky start. Will be better with traffic.

Start: Start 2m right of the previous route.

Traverse in for an easier route
