A variety of climbing styles can be found throughout the south coast of NSW. Sea cliff climbing and bouldering on quality sandstone with hidden gems located inland with the deep water soloing areas, and harder rock types found further south. With it's abundance of small towns and amazing beaches and a variety of other outdoor activities within the region it's a holiday paradise, but with plenty of routes and problems still yet to be discovered too!
The main area offering the largest number of routes is Ben Boyd National Park at the southern end of the NSW coast, also host to the Light to Light multi-day walk.
This area was ravaged by the 2019 Bushfires, so come with no supplies and spend up in the small towns where they really need it.
