Rick's Cafe Guide

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 slick white wall with a different climbing style to the other areas, mostly climbing on pockets and large flat edges. Some of the best rock at TJF.

access issues

BOLTING IS BANNED to the left (south) of the lookout and 100m right of the lookout as this is National Park land. Please avoid climbing on the cliff directly under the lookout, not only will you probably get a rock or beer bottle thrown at you from the tourists, you'll also attract unwanted attention from the authorities! Do not build new rock cairns - apparently there is an $11,000 fine if you do.

approach

In the middle of the Amazon jungle, roughly the middle of the entire TJF cliffline. Walk down past Chunder's Glen and keep following the cliff left past a bit of a scramble down and past some chossy walls to find this grid bolted crag. Routes are described from right to left.

ethic

Lots of bolts in this region. Most development has been done after the 1980s.

3 Bionic Latte

A proud line that shares the start with 'Double Decaf' but when DD goes left BL goes rightish, stay direct thru the awesome bulges. The 2016 guide has Emporium in a similar position.

4 Double Decaf

5 Doppio

Tricky moves to start then power up thru 3 little rooves.

6 Espresso

A fun little route that you do more for the moves and the great little holds than the mountain wilderness experience, hence the close bolts.

Start: As for Short Black on the really great orange rock.
