The Lost World

  • Grade context: AU

Description

One of the most significant areas at Harvey's, with potential for thousands of high quality problems and with a sense of adventure and exploration.

The Lost World refers to all areas on the east face (facing toward Townsville) of Andromeda and stretches to the escarpment edge. It is an enormous area, and hours can be spent exploring it. Some outstanding problems established but the real treasure lies in the 1000+ problems to go. Adventurous bouldering with a wild array of big boulders scattered into steep, rugged terrain. The outer edge of Harvey's Marbles with a suitably frontier feel to it.

Access issues inherited from Harvey’s Marbles

Stay well away from the rifle shooting range (http://www.tmrc.com.au/). This is private property and potentially extremely dangerous.

Ethic inherited from Harvey’s Marbles

Please respect the local ethics and at all times, look after the environment. This means definitely no chipping, use your wire brush sparingly and only on the holds that you are using, leave the trees alone (it is often possible to pull them aside temporarily if they are covering a problem), and of course take out everything that arrived with you. The rocks are covered in beautiful paint-like lichen that for the most part doesn't interfere with climbing. If you need to clean lichen from a problem, remove only what is essential, and preferably as little as possible.

Harvey's has innumerable very high lines, such as Spenser's "Deliverance" and "Walk The Line". Despite this, Harvey's Marbles remains a bouldering crag and therefore no bolting is allowed. Top roping is fine if you want to do something that is too high for you to boulder.

This is private land and we are very lucky to have permission to access it please follow some simple rules:

  • No bolts
  • Keep to the walking trails where possible.
  • Take all rubbish with you.
  • Protect the environment; try to leave as much of the moss growing on the rocks as possible.
