Description

A short cliff line tucked away behind the trees of Popplewell Park. This crag does seep quite a bit but the protection spotted there seems to be in good condition.

If the exposure of the eastern suburbs sea cliffs is a little off putting for you then perhaps this crag is your next best choice being so close.

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.

Approche

Drive along Malabar Road in South Coogee and you'll find the park between two unit blocks. Head past the trees and there it is.

Chalk up, climb on and live the dream!

Éthique hérité de Coogee

Discretion when sea cliffing to avoid the panicked attentions of the coastal walk crowds.

The climb is divided in two sections, the bottom part is a crack but the nature has reclaim it but the top part is climbable and some kind soul took the time to re-bolt it, the bolts are in good condition.

Recommended to approach from the trop and abseil the 4 meters that are climbable.

The climb itself is a boulder problem with 3 moves. You really use 1 bolt + the anchors.

There is some carrot bolts not in bad condition.

Very pleasant climbing. Holds look like carved in the rock by human hand with experience setting up routes at a gym.

Good finger training.

Someone re-bolted not long ago and bolts are in good condition, this is one of the few climbs that stays dry from the constant seeping.

Bolts are in pretty good condition as someone not long ago re-bolted it.

Unfortunately I've never seen this section of the wall dry, it seeps a lot.

Always we and very rusty bolts, probably nobody has climbed this after the war.

The route seems to follow the shape of a pipe carved in the wall, not sure what was there before but the whole wall has shapes like that.

Same than "Impossible Mission", super rusty bolts and always wet.

A few hangers to do this traverse. The bush is in the way so it could use some cleaning.

3 hangers and finish on a chain. The chain has a carabiner for easy descend.

Rock is sandy and the block you need to grab to start will break soon.

Very hard climbing with no foot holds.
