30m (15) - Slightly thought provoking moves off the deck but it eases up after that. Be careful of rock fall as the seconder, some choss about. Belay in corner at top of crack on solid gear.

25m (12) - Push up to the left around corner to large bushy ledge with crack in back right corner. Use tree belay or gear in good crack.

35m (14) - Money pitch! Arcing hand crack with windswept jugs whenever you need 'em! Crack widens close to the top and turns into boulders. Belay off good boulders or trees on large bushy ledge.

40m (-) - Bush bash up through scrub heading right before a small 3m scramble off the the left leads to the base of an awesome chimney with questionable rock quality.

30m (13) - A surprisingly great finish to the climb! Despite the poor rock quality at the base, this pitch has solid gear with a small crack running up the back of the chimney. Push up the chimney , enjoy the musical tones of your hexes clanging on the ironstone rungs and squeeze past the final boulder protecting the exit.

Mega four to five pitch multi up a king line in the middle of the Mount Edwards East face. Will be awesome with more traffic. Features one of the best pure splitter hand corner cracks around! Excellent rock quality other than some blocks that would require trundling and some thin pieces of rock. Half ropes recommended if combining pitches 2 & 3. Single rack to #4 camalot, recommended double cams + hexes if combining pitches 2 & 3.

Start approx' located at: (-28.014207, 152.545096)

  1. 35m Start at the base of the mildly vegetated corner featuring a hand crack to the small tree to start. Some truly awesome moves involving crack and chimneying. Belay on large ledge with tree to sit on, belay in cracks.

  2. 20m Up the corner crack with wobbly blocks on the inside of the crack. Up this for 5 - 8m then move left up ramp and push behind and past the small tree. Up the splitter corner crack to a stance with cave on the left. Cam belay in crack or combine with the third pitch for a mega line.

  3. 30m A 3 star pitch on it's own. Climb past dead vegetation in crack (to be removed). Take a deep breath and punch through the relentless corner crack to a rest in a cave at 3/4 height. Continue up the crack to the roof. (There is a large somewhat secure but hollow block at this roof, be cautious of placing gear between it and the wall, would be good to get trundled at some point). Move out left onto the face and hanging belay in cracks or punch upward to the large tree.

  4. 25m Push upwards from the tree and up vegetated chimneys, towards the right generally and belay on large ledge/wherever possible.

  5. 30m Roped scramble to the top of the cliff

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
