Where the trail first meets the wall.
Closer to the car park and a shorter approach than the cave, the Thunder Dome and surrounding walls have many great routes from easy to hard, on vertical and overhanging faces. The route lengths vary from 10-30m with great technical face climbing and steeper endurance routes.
Wear a helmet and be aware this crag hasn't had a heap of traffic. Keep to the one trail and pack out what you take in.
Where the trail first meets the walls you will come to the Two Towers area, all other routes are further up the hill trending right if you're looking at the cliff.
Please respect the local roads and residents, keep gates closed at all times. Do your best to car pool as much as possible to reduce traffic and impact to this area. Tread lightly and stick to the trail on the way to and from the crag.
Drive: From Brisbane head out on the Centenary Highway, turn south at Ripley Rd. After about 10km this turns into Undulla Rd. After a further 7km turn right onto Mount Elliott Rd. On Mount Elliot Rd you eventually come to 2 sets of gates. Go through the gate and close them behind you. At the second set of gates, the right one is clearly someone's house, take the left gate. Drive to the end (bumpy dirt road) and park somewhere without blocking the final locked gate or the road.
Walk in: From the carpark, follow the forestry track around for about 15mins total walk time to The Sanctuary turn-off path;
Pass two sharp bends:
Continue on till you arrive to The Cave turn-off - a right hand bend in the fire trail with a faint path turn-off on the left (by one of the yellow SFT markers):
Sanctuary - The Cave - turn-off path
Walk another 100m or so, to arrive at a faint left turn-of by the twisted fallen tree, follow this to Sanctuary:
From here, it is about 200-300m to the first crag: The Two Towers. The path is well worn enough & easy to follow up the slope, right trending, up to the clearing, across this & up to the first wall.
If bolting new routes please avoid squeeze jobs, linkups or variant starts/finishes. There is enough rock for heaps of independent lines. Go for a walk! If your proposed line comes within 3m of an established route, please ask the person whose route it is so as not to devalue their original vision. Avoid damaging any vegetation in this area. The developers took great care in directing and constructing the track.
