Fun slab climbing right next to your car!
Previously known as "Suicide Slabs", but renamed due to the stench that wafts up from the toilet block whenever the wind blows the wrong way! This is a great little north facing crag, offering probably the best friction climbing in the Sydney region, on generally good rock and with zero access.
The crag is superb in winter, but is a bit of an oven in summer. The main attraction is the huge slab of rock leaning up against the hillside, which offers five superb bolted slab routes (with grades between about 14 and 18) and a stack of top rope variants as well. The routes in the centre are generally easier, with harder routes to the left. There are also two routes on the right hand side of the block, one on the left, five routes on the smaller block behind the main block and a project (by Julian Anderson) on the wall behind the blocks. Unfortunately none of these routes compare in quality to the routes on the main slab.
There is also some bouldering on the wall to the right of the main block.
If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales.

Pacific Highway (NOT the F1) to the Brooklyn exit. Take this and follow the signs to Brooklyn (about 10km). Once in Brooklyn, turn right onto Bridge St, left onto George St and follow it to the end (to the Parsley Bay boat ramp). The slab is obvious up and to the right. The crag is also easily accessible by public transport - the Hawkesbury River railway station (on the Newcastle line) is only about 300m from the crag.

The crag was originally developed (sans bolts) by the incredibly prolific Wondabyne Climbing Club in the mid-late 70s, but was rediscovered and the bolts put in sometime during the 80s.
