Description
Only a little distance along the ridge from the stacked boulders of split cherry/#41/#42, this is a nice little set of boulders starring some good mid-grade problems and a lovely crack climb. Climbs at Sun Blocks tend to be a little taller than the rest of the Ridge, and more slabby/technical than some.
The boulders with climbs number 49 to 53 on them.
Access issues inherited from Cooleman Ridge Bouldering
Allowed
- Cooleman Ridge
- is CNP land, the Plan of Management can be found here. The entire reserve is classified as Zone 2, and will be managed to direct damaging activities to previously disturbed areas.
While recreation is considered a priority for Cooleman Ridge, care should be taken to avoid damage to the habitat of the vulnerable Pink-Tailed Worm-Lizard which likes the same areas we do.
- Table 7.4: Bouldering - Best Practice:
- - From the PoM:
- Do not create informal tracks or damage vegetation
- Do not move rocks or fallen branches
- Do not disturb plants and animals
- Keep group sizes small
- Be considerate of other users Take care of vegetation when placing mats for protection
- Brush any chalk off the rock with a soft bristled brush when you are finished
- Carry out all waste
- Respect regulations and closures.
Adherence to these practices should allow Cooleman Ridge to remain open and provide a low commitment bouldering area for those summer afternoons.
Notes:
Approach
Ethic inherited from Cooleman Ridge Bouldering
Well established
While some of the harder climbs on the ridge were created by chipping, where previously no climb was possible, please leave your chisels at home. There are not so many climbs at the higher grades that they should be brought down to lower levels!
