Classic crag, most of original problems are now broken/chipped. But the rock is still really nice and holds lots of potential for new routes. Lockdown project perhaps?

Northmead Quarry, now located in Charles Herbert Reserve, was one of Sydney's first bouldering areas. According to the old guide books it contains one of the longest single sandstone walls in Sydney and is one of the most accessible crags in Western Sydney. Lots of problems and landings are beautifully flat and grassy.
A bit of tlc is still needed to bring this classic crag back to its former glory.

Storia
The 2001 Sydney Bouldering guide contains more detail on this classic crag.
One of the first bouldering areas in Sydney, Northmead Quarry was largely forgotten in the 1990s. As of 2020 most of the original climbs are chipped and the Hyper classic arete described in the 2001 book has fallen over. But the rock is still really nice and holds lots of potential for new routes. Lockdown project perhaps?
