There is a mix of fully bolted, fully natural and mixed routes, with all bolts being P‐bolts. There are double Pbolt anchors on top of each boulder for belaying. The rock is granite, with 3 separate boulders, up to 10m high. Currently (Apr 2012) there are 12 completed routes, ranging from grade 15 – 21, with a further 10 projects already bolted.

Approach

Head out of Perth on Great Eastern Hwy, then turn right at The Lakes roadhouse onto Great Southern Hwy. Turn right onto Yarra Rd, then left onto West Talbot Rd. After 9.5kms turn right onto Kent St (@ S31 57.688 E116 30.867).

After 3.5kms turn right onto Deefor Rd (@ S31 59.381 E116 31.264). After 3.2kms turn left onto Nuytsia Rd (@S32 00.506 E116 30.034).

Drive 1.7kms along Nuytsia Rd and turn left into a small track which leads to the parking area about 200m into the bush in a small clearing (and only 50m walk to the crag).

The crag is somewhat 2WD accessible (do not bring a 2WD vehicle your aren't happy to get a little bogged / scratched up), although 4WD is preferred as there are some rutted and sandy sections, and trees are frequently down across various roads.

Climb on the crack only (without using opposite wall to chimney). Its quite strenuous and sustained with the some great moves especially the top half.
