Rolling terrain covered in (almost) unclimbed granite boulders and domes.

All boulders that are near the houses and donger, within walking distance.

Up in the trees to the west of the house on the hill.

Access to Beulah is closed.

Sit start on low pinch, move up through some crimps, towards tough move over bulge.

Slopers, then right, then left.

Start 2m right of "Tuna for Breakfast", up on thin crimps. Easier if you are tall.

A different start hold every attempt! Sit start on little sidepull and big crumbly undercling. Pop into better sidepull then straight up. Beware of fragile looking block on top.

The Donger Boulders are the boulders immediately south of the Donger. The large outrcop beside the Donger is called "Whale Rock"

The area is pretty big and encompasses all the boulders from the Donger east past the "The Solitary Boulder" to the road to the tip and south to a drainage.

Two boulders 40m along the faint trail leading up around the east side of Whale Rock.

Up the way down off this boulder.

Up small corner, finsih on knobs

Start in blackberry bush and up crimps.

Start on crimps/sloper, slap under rooflet, pull up through and mantel

Start on right-hand side of Coff's Rock, left hand on gaston and right hand on crimper. Up and through the right-side of the rooflet. Avoid bailing right past the roof.

NOTE: May have been climbed before. If this is you, please change the FA/Route Details appropriately.

Start in the middle of the Finger-Ripper Boulder (directly behind Coff's Rock boulder, and just left of the fallen tree) left of small overlap. Up slab on tiny sharp crystals trending right to finish on right-hand side of boulder.

NOTE: Likely climbed before as there was a LOT of chalk all over this boulder. Please edit the name/first ascent of this route if that was you.

Start on the right side of the Finger-Ripper Boulder (directly behind Coff's Rock boulder, and immediately beside the fallen tree) on footers directly below the small overlap with hands on whatever you can grab. Up past overlap and onto slab on miniscule razor-sharp crystals to finish on right of boulder.

NOTE: May have already been climbed as there was a LOT of chalk all over this boulder. Please edit the name/first ascent of this route if that was you. Otherwise, this is an Open Project (I couldn't the last move to gain the slab) so go nuts!

Practice balancing up crystals and tiny edges.

Straight up short thin face left of detached block.

Very easy mantel to a one slab move to top.

Access to Beulah is closed.

Interesting moves, start at left end of boulder. Watch landing.

Located east of the Donger and uphill of the old wooden corral. The boulder is about 6m high and 15m wide. Might be potential for more variations but OK Corral is the most obvious line.

Up the slab to the hand crack. Some may consider this problem high. Can be top-roped with a gear anchor in the crack at top.

Nice boulder with three varied problems on it.

Layback up the detached flake.

High step your way up the blunt arete to a mantel.

Pull on large crystals up the arete to mantel top out. Harder now thanks to Brendan.

Sit start. Follow the crack.

crimp, slap, heel, crack

sit start on the jug, up past the maybe not so bomber roof.

This is the 15 metre high dome beside the Donger. All climbs can be lowered off, or you can walk off either side.

Start on the left and follow the arch up to the right then up slab. Gear required, up to 3 inches. Lower off at top.

3 fixed hangers to a cam break. Friction climbing and some good holds to calm the nerves. finish at shared anchor with Angry Man.

Starting 2m left of the scoop of Whale Ale, up difficult start to nice finish. Don't forget some cams for the final break before the top out

Up the steep concave scoop then slab above. A medium sized cam is required for horizontal break at the top. Two bolt lower off.

Start up Whale ale then traverse right after 2 bolts and finish up Invalid. Single bolt lower off.

Up the easy ramp then the steeper slab past 1 bolt. A little exciting! Single bolt lower off.

Follow the bolts up the delicate slab. A good introduction to slabbing.

50m uphill from the 'Llama boulder'

Access to Beulah is closed.

The Blackberry boulder is sitting on top of a large slab 150m south east of the Donger. Visible as you drive past the gate into Beulah.

A prominent line overlooking the camp site. Through the offwidth roof crack and out the face.

Traverse left along seam, then up the bulge. Prime position but not the best rock or climbing. Trad anchor and second or rap to clean. 3 bolts.

Bolted and climbed at the last public Rock Festivus. I was trad climbing seriously at the time so the gear must have seemed pretty poor for me to consider putting in bolts. But in hindsight maybe not the most tasteful addition - the landowners can of course do whatever they want with it, including removal or a better name.

Body jam, chimney, stem up this wide crack. Lower off at top slightly right.

The fist crack on the south face of boulder. Bolt at top with lower off.

The large obvious square boulder sitting on top of exposed low angle slab. Directions as for the Donger boulders but once past the small dam walk up the slab to your left, the B-berry boulder is sitting on the top. Has potential for some top-rope problems as well as an easy crack climb up the south face, but the blackberry needs to be cleaned out of the crack first. Within 20m of this boulder are numerous others that have been cleaned a bit, but more cleaning is required. If you walk along the top of the slab eastward and into the trees there is more boulders as well. This line of boulders continues east for about 300m. You can also spelunk yer way under the B-berry boulder from north to south or vice versa. IMPORTANT: Just west of the Blackberry is a memorial to Louise Axelsen.

Right on crimp then hop to square crystal and up

Right on the 'microwave dial' then up

Two great holds and up

Up small thin stuff

From the Donger, head east past the shearing shed for around 500m through an open paddock. On the right is a large boulder. The route closest to the road is the coarse 'African Reef'.

Obvious crack on southeast face. Climb up or down it.

Start high in pocket/crack, pull up and mantel. Done

Start high in sloping dish, mantel.

Start high on big underlcing, up to sloper, mantel. Done

Start on right facing small corner, pull up and go.

Start on the large undercling, slap up this feature to horizontal cracks then up.

Up the shallow groove to the right of Cape Horn.

Using the shallow groove of High Times and corner of Mutton Bird go up between them.

The wide shield to the right of African reef. Wide span stand start then shuffle up the flake.

SDS then up!

High stand start to the left of African reef on the arête.

Head east from the donger and after about 400m you will see the Solitary Boulder and just pass this and up towards the fence you will see this boulder.

Climbers we seen around this boulder at the 4th Annual Festivus, not sure what was done though. Best options looked to be on the side along the fence.

Nice jams, then layback the flake to top. Pretty sweet

Standing start with sidepull/undercling on the left, straight up without using the flake at all (no handjams).
