Red Arm Creek Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

sommario

Just like the magical Fontainebleau Forest, this area is home to a maze of scattered out crops and small cliffs and visitors can become lost amoungst the valleys and gently rolling countryside. Unfortunately this is where similarity ends - the rock is typical Southern Highlands sandstone with the inherent dangers of snappiness, moss and drop bears. (But at least the chances of finding a Frenchman pooing at the bottom of your route is much reduced.) The area has the potential for loads of routes both trad and bolted. Keep the cracks natural and get exploring the exciting possibilities that lay scattered across the forest.

descrizione

Lots of cliff to develop. A mixture of trad and bolts.

limitazioni per l'accesso

Clip the first two bolts from the ground to avoid swinging. Heel hook for all you are worth. Avoid anything that is not a massive hold (everything else my well give way!) and thug your way to the top. Enjoyable, surprisingly.
