Bee Crag 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 small crag on the banks of the river, downstream from Kambah Pool. Visible from the grid/gate on Kambah Pool Rd. Plenty of afternoon sun and a nice spot for a swim. An okay alternative to Kambah Rocks.

access issues

The resident bees seem mostly active in the warmer months. Regardless, climbing routes give them a wide berth.

approach

From Kambah Pool follow the Murrumbidgee Discovery Track north past the 2.2km marker. Look for the old half-burnt timber track marker a short distance after this (~30m) and, from it, walk straight towards the river - carefully over a steep loose step as you near the top of the crag.

There are sets of double-bolt anchors for top-roping. However, the single bolt placed several meters back from the edge should be used for a safety line and is not intended as a sole anchor.

Access the bottom of the crag via the wombat track to the left (while looking out).

RouteGradeStyleSelected ascents
1 Barete

To the left and down from Hivemind climb the obvious arete. Try to keep to the arete and not wander up the left. A nice and well protected sports climb with 5 bolts. Be careful not to drop rocks on your belayer. Belay back a bit and wear a helmet.

About 6 metres left of Honey and down the gully. Climb the crack up to the ledge and then up to the anchors. Be careful not to dislodge rocks on your belayer. Some gardening and cleaning has been performed, more may be required.
