Stony Hill 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.

Some FAs from 2014 and older can be found here: https://www.climberswa.asn.au/topic/potential-new-lines-at-stony-hill-albany/

It's quite possible that some of the routes added since are duplicates of these. I'm not familiar with the crag so I'll leave this here for someone to move/update accordingly. It's also possible the 2014 routes were themselves duplicates of older climbs.

access issues

Be aware of the various restrictions in place in the region, particularly regarding the ACZ and Public Holiday/long WE restrictions at The Gap: https://www.climberswa.asn.au/climb/no-bolting-zones-and-other-restrictions/
