Flare Boulders Guide

  • Grade context: AU
  • Ascents: 3

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.

description

A small cluster of boulders 200m South of the Trackside Boulder, with a prominent detached flake at the base of the largest boulder.

access issues

The majority of the bouldering and climbing at Yarrowyck is located on private property, and the land owner was a climber and has granted access to all climbers anytime, EXCEPT for all crags east of the ridge line which are too close to the land owners house and are off limits, in particular 'Captain Pugwash Memorial Buttress'.

Please do not leave garbage around, leave gates as you find them and do not harass stock. Climbing at Yarrowyck is a privilege, not a right.

The access tracks are in the Nature Reserve which is managed by NPWS which takes you to the Aboriginal Rock Art site. Bouldering or climbing in the reserve is not clear so please avoid this and check the boundaries when exploring.

approach

Sit start on the blocks at the base of the detached flake. Up and left-ish to the lip, then a fun mantle and wander up the runnels.

V2 Boulder 3m
2 Slap and Tickle

Stand start pinching the left arete. Some balancey, technical moves to get you established on the only feature on the face, then smear and slap your way to victory.
