Einträge in Guthega Quarry

A former quarry site from the construction of Guthega and other Snowy hydro projects.

The easy access route for the chains and tree anchors at the top, facing the crag proceed left and around any steep terrain heading back towards the center of the crag. Be careful as the ground and rocks can be loose and can fall onto those at the bottom. I have cleared somewhat of a path to the rap chains and will continue to make it safer. Continue all the way around to exit on the right hand side walk off of the crag, this path can also be used to gain entry.

Top Rope Solo: Left hand side of crag 2 meters right of the blank Dihedral. Setup a rappel on the large trees about 5 meters back and up from the edge, the small tree on the edge is not an anchor, it can be used as a redirect to protect your rope from rubbing on the corner.

From the bottom proceed up the two ledges with fun little technical mantles and side pulls until you can make the big ledge at the top.

Right of TTINAA using same anchor - right hand side of the slab following the drill hole lines, to the right of the top block.

Up the overhang to the right of Tree is not an Anchor, proceeding right through the slight overhangs and wettest parts of the crag, has some (non-climbable) ice forming during winter so I guess you can technically call it mixed climbing and not just dry tooling.

for Top rope solo access, you will need to create several redirects with trad gear from the natural tree anchors above.

Top Rope Solo: center of crag beneath the rap chains, be sure to protect the edges as you set up your line. follow the line of weakness from the ground up the ledges and then proceeding right from midway up, made significantly harder when avoiding the water seepages.. The loose block is still there and marked with an X.

To the right of ATS with a bit of a swing, using the same anchor. Start at the slab with the large lichen polka dots, right side pulls, up to crux traverse to access the seeping crack, following this to ledge then left to join ATS at the last big ledge.

Corner centre of crag. Straight up RHS of corner. Best after a dry spell.

4m LHS of DLC. Just off the deck one tricky move then then easy up.
