NOTE: When accessing 'Steep Side', please use the newly installed stile and do not damage the fence where it attaches to the rock. There was a recent encounter with Northern Beaches Council, so please exercise respect and discretion.
And don't park contrary to the signs in the RMS inspection bay.

Approach from Sydney side:
About 2km North of the traffic lights at Oxford Falls is a Heavy Vehicle Inspection Bay - the sign reading Heavy Vehicle Inspection Bay 400m marks the first place to park and provides the most visibility for the long sweeping turn, the crag is located across the road from this parking spot. (Parking A on the map)
Approach from the Narrabeen side:
After passing the Academy of Sport on Wakehurst Parkway you will pass a Heavy Vehicle inspection bay on your right - parking just after this is the best parking for the crag(opposite the 400m to Heavy Vehicle Inspection Bay signage). (Parking C on the map)
The crag access is about 100m further on the left. People often park here but parking is limited and visibility is very poor when pulling out in front of hoon traffic coming around the long sweeping bend. (Parking D on the map)
Walking down the road towards Sydney on the left hand side, you will come across a chainlink fence, looking left at the start of this chain link fence you will see a small stile that looks like a wooden T going through the fence - use this to climb over the fence and then follow the obvious single track that heads up the hill for about 50m to the crag. Climbs are described left to right, facing the cliff. The first climb you will see at the top of the track is Oozing Confidence(20).
