The Overhangs Guide

  • Grade context: AU
  • Ascents: 89

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.

access issues

If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales.

ethic

Respecting the enviroment and keeping crags clean will maintain a healthy and important relationship between the climbing community, local councils and National Parks. Carry out what you take in and enjoy what the North Shore has to offer.

If you come across an area that is being developed or you think could be under development, please show all due respect to the developers and do not climb the projects listed on thecrag.com.

RouteGradeStyleSelected ascents
1 Minuteman

Lip Traverse from the obvious horizontal break right of the roof all the way along the lip to finish in the wide corner crack.

V7 Boulder
2 Minuteman Direct

A more logical finish. Start as for Minuteman and finish up 2.

V7 Boulder
3 Campus Problem

Two feet right of '2'.

Stand & grab first crimps. Campus your way up until you run out of cliff or your feet stop dangling.

FA: Some old fella, 1800

V3 Boulder 3m
4 2

Starts by underclinging a large flake just right of the big corner crack. Right to a large pocket on the arete and then up.

V5 Boulder
5 2a

Contrived. Start: Undercling the large flake and go straight up to a match with both hands in the thin break.

V4 Boulder
6 3

The corner crack.

V0 Boulder
RouteGradeStyleSelected ascents
7 4

The best problem on this wall. From the wide corner crack traverse left keeping below the roof to finish at or near the crack.

V1 Boulder 6m
8 5

Centre of the wall, there's an old (ex?) carrot and a drilled pocket. Up and right from here.

V2 Boulder
9 6

As for '5', but haul up left on slightly less dodgy holds.

V3 Boulder 5m
10 7

Crack. Yuck?

V0 Boulder
11 8

Flake system through the roof.

V3 Boulder 4m
12 9

Light coloured scoop further left of '8'. Standing start trending left.
