Nodes in Northern Tablelands

World class granite bouldering, epic gorges, decades of trad history and plenty of sport to go round

Park right next to the problem you're working

Drive in past the buildings, after the water tank turn left and drive until there is no more rock.

A large high boulder with a slight nose formation on its south east face. North face is home to a hard highball problem.

Up the prominent nose, easy but exposed all the way to top. Jump off NE2

Slightly harder face climb

Nice face climb

SDS, to pinch, under cling and then smear to top right

Start at horizontal crack, crimps and smear with good hold right at the back

Crimps up onto slab trending slightly rightwards via smallish hollowish flake system. Higher and harder than NE10 with awkward landing be careful.

Nice crimps up slab left of the blunt arete, definitive V0! For bonus points try the no hands bridging hopping problem stemming between Egor and the other side of the offwidth/chimney.

Directe up the blunt arete between Egor and NE10. Do not stray a foot left, do not stray a foot right, climb proud, straight and up! Has the most solid holds of the bunch on this side of the slab.

Climbs the slab right of the blunt arete next to NE10, bit harder and more sketchy than it's neighbor, careful with the landing.

Several mantle problems

Offwidth/chimney on the Ramp Traverse side of the "Cliffhanger" looking blocs, from standing.

The sit start variant of Cliffhangers' Gate. If you found the sitter tough; you are not alone.

Past Cliffhangers' Gate midway of the chimney, wedge-tail start with both feet on long low smiley moustache and both hands on the small ear at around waist height for the tick. Now press and worm your way up and out the chimney. Can be done from the ground bit easier with a chicken-wing start.

crimps, then verticle rail to top

Sharp crimps up arete then awkward mantle

Jump to crimps, traverse right and then mantle

Burly SDS to NE14

V shaped match then slap to top

Starts at what looks like a chipped hold

Thin ledges to shallow right pocket, left pinch and then up to the right

Loose easy flake - choose your own adventure

Hard thin over hung moves

Drive into the recreation area past the picnic area and continue straight when the gravel stops. Follow worn dual track straight ahead until you see the concrete water tank ahead on your left. You are now in the Central cluster, boulders are south and north of the track.

Lots of thin sharp stuff facing the wrong way and then a nice cresent way up high

Has 'Gents' painted on the rock

Start at flanged crack and reach up to cresent, don't use the jug to the right

Starts at the far left of the undercling. Use small edges and smear points to Traverse over the face. Finishes around the corner where the slab can be stood on.

Optionally complete the full circuit around the boulder. ~V0 for this part.

Aggressive shoes will help. Consider filing toenails more than usual as most footholds only allow for toe tips.

After the building turn right and drive carefully straight south

Nice holds, bad landing
