Summary

Fun west facing wall right near some great swimming. * UPDATE 21-OCT-2020: SIGN SAYS "PRIVATE PROPERTY.. NO CLIMBING.. DECLARED ABORIGINAL PLACE" * Presumably erected by Christian Camp.

Description

Compact orange sandstone wall, just west of Camp Wanawong (a private Christian camp). This cliff is used as a kids absquealing area occasionally. Rebolting in mid 2015 has brought this crag into modern times.

Access issues

Keep a very low profile and never walk around on the top of the cliff. The land above (and maybe the cliffs themselves?) is on private property.

Approach

Approach by walking upstream on the eastern side of Loftus Creek following walking tracks.

Ethic

Any bolts added here should be low profile.

History

History timeline chart

History is a mystery. Old rusty carrots (80s) are on a few walls and belay bolts are along the top. Glen Short rebolted and possibly added some new routes here (90s??)

Great easy route climbing the subtle right arete of the wall. Stem up tree on far side of crag until you can reach rock shelf. Up and left on good holds to airy finish and anchor.
