Nodes in Backyard Basic

New lower mountains cliff under development. Is a good beginners crag on good rock.

This cliff is similar to the nearby birdwood gully walls and being in the lower mountains it contains some great rock and some sandy. All of the new routes have been bolted with beginners in mind and top ropes could easily be set up.

All the grades may be due to change with repeats??

The downside of it being a suburban crag is there is a lot of rubbish and a surprising amount of bongs at the base of the look out. We hope to be able to clean this up in the near future.

First route of the crag. Stem up the tree to start until you reach the good jug. Nice wall climbing with a reachy top. Grade 16 if you dont use the tree to start

Great crimpy wall on good edges until the top flake that isn't as good as you hope.

Super top moves that require a bit of thinking and crimping.

Some of the best rock on the wall with some sneaky pockets. Be careful with the top white jugs.

Good interesting climbing in and out of caves. The top is reminiscent of the descent gully walls at Nowra.

The left glue in carrot route to the chain. Details unknown? The hardest route at the crag, sequenced moves see you past the lower crux if you move your feet.

The right glue in carrot route, details unknown? Funk up the steep start to an easy finish. Home to one of the best holds on the wall.

Steep beginning to an easy top. Reachy moves to good jugs!

Soon to be bolted.
