©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.

Park at the Orroral tracking station site, and follow the 'Granite Tors' walk. It's 7km return, on fire trails and good tracks, but there is 400m of elevation to be gained.
A few hundred meters from the laser building is a track on the left leading into the boulders, follow this. The courtyard is near the top of the hill, and has a large hanging boulder that marks it easily.

There have been several visits to the place over the years, leaving the odd cairn, but no one could be bothered to map and write them up. As soon as the guide was done there was a bemusing scramble to claim first ascents; such are 'secret' cliffs.
