If you have benefited from climbing access and infrastructure in the ACT, please consider joining the Canberra Climbing Association (CCA). The CCA spends considerable behind-the-scenes time and effort managing access for the climbing community to ACT climbing areas.

Membership is inexpensive and provides a great way to keep up-to-date with access issues, codes of conduct and general goings on in the ACT climbing community. Membership also provides discounts for local outdoor retail and climbing gyms.

Acceso

Option 1: From Julius Caesar walk under the chossy approach slab and keep following the contour for 30m. You'll pop out on the slab above Astral Wall. Walk to the uphill end of the slab and scramble down to the right-hand end of the wall.

Option 2: From 'Zoo Fear' walk east-south-east, going diagonally downhill and left. There are a few alternative approach gullies. The right-most one is open but with loose soil; the middle one is full of nice ferns; and the left-hand one is a bit steeper and also ferny. Take your pick of these. After about 30m, at the bottom of the gully, turn left and contour across to the left-hand end of 'Astral Wall' proper.

Descenso

The best descent for the main wall is to scramble down at the far right end of the wall.

Ética heredado de The Cloisters

Although these days there are a number of excellent sport climbs, the original ascentionists were staunchly traditional, having this to say:

"We, as discoverers and first ascensionists, have not and will not tolerate the use of bolts, pegs, shady aid or chalk. Attempt to use any of these and be prepared to answer to us. We have respected the natural state of the area and expect that you will also."

The following three climbs are in one or other of the ferny approach gullies.

The left line in the Astral Wall approach gully with a hard start.

PA: John Smart, Norm Booth & Ray Lassman, 1978

Just right of 'Mandolin Wind'. Looks easy but is quite hard and technical.

PA: John Smart & Norm Booth, 1978

On the lower path. The obvious crack at the right-hand end of the wall, with the chockstone providing some interest.

PA: John Smart, Ray Lassman, Rohan Reynolds & Hugh Ward, 1978

The following climbs are on Astral Wall proper.

The perfect crack, almost certainly harder than 15

PA: Ray, John, Norm, Humzoo, Rohan Reynolds & Hugh Ward, 1978

Start four metres left of 'Zoot Allures'. Climb up the brushed wall on good flakes past three bolts to a slab ledge. Up onto the slab above past another bolt (crux), then walk easily up the moss to a tree belay.

PA: Mike Peck & Dave Sargent, 1988

Good. The leftmost of three lines on the second block up the hill. Nice bridging with an occasional fingerlock.

PA: Norm Booth, John Smart & Ray Lassman, 1978

The hand crack with the dodgy wedged pedestal at its base.

PA: Ray, John, Norm, Rohan, Hugh & Humzoo, 1978

The obvious chimney further right.
