Graffiti Cave 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.

access issues

Rainfall/Flooding/Raised Water Levels

'Cedar Creek' is prone to flash flooding after heavy rainfall and general flooding or regular high water levels during/after rainfall which significantly impacts access to boulders and areas.

Check local community pages if unsure.

Private Property

Toward the end of Cedar Creek Rd are several private properties inaccessible to the public. Ensure no gates are passed (even if open).

ethic

'Cedar Creek' has been in the news due to its popularity with the public; namely rubbish and conflicts with landowners. As climbers we must set an example for ourselves:

  • Respect the landowners
  • Take your rubbish (as always)
  • Bring containers for removing public rubbish if you can
  • Do not contribute to the graffiti
  • Bring poo-bags for your crag pup

9 Quit Your Job

Sit-start this one move wonder, with LH low on lip crimp and RH high on good crimp. Left foot high and right foot in the big crack. Straight up to a vegetated top.

FA: Jimmy Blackhall, Jul 2020

V1 Boulder 2m

This little rock is on the opposite side of the river to the cave, a meter or two downstream.

11 Pebble Wrestler

Sit start with small crimp and slopey sidepull. Big slap up and over the top. More moves than it looks. Is graded with using the chockstone for feet. Probably still stiff for the grade.
