A red/orange crag typical of Central Australia. 10m-25m, some exciting lines, some loose rock. A good variety or grades and styles. Some climbs have rap chains, others not. Beware loose rock at the top but plenty of opportunities for trad anchors.
It is possible to walk up (from the left side facing the wall) to set up an anchor for top rope or abseil down to retrieve your gear.
Please be aware the crag is on National parks land and a courtesy warning before climbing to the onsite rangers is preferred. The rangers have been supportive of climbing in the past, please help keep the relationship happy.
As you drive to Ormiston Gorge (and the campsite) the crag can be seen easily on your right over the (generally) dry creekbed. Please park opposite the crag but well off the road to keep the rangers happy and the traffic safe.
Camping (not free, but good amenities) is available at the Ormiston Gorge national park campsite. Powered sites available down the road at Glen Helen.
