Tutti Bouldering
Lat / Long: -41.889729, 145.583039
sommario
The Anthony link road is the alternate route from Tullah to Queenstown via lake Plimsol, Mount Murchison, the Tyndall ranges and avoiding Roseberry. The road is 38km long, winding through some of the most rugged and stunning scenery Tasmainia has to offer. The whole way is a veritable smorgasbord of conglomerate rock, the large walls of the Tyndall Ranges, Mount Murchison and many more, no doubt waiting to be discovered. All the way along there is hundreds of boulders of variable size and quality just waiting to be investigated.
descrizione
The boulders are all free standing, with good landings and plenty of holds. They generally don't need too much cleaning, other than knocking the loose looking pebbles away after which they are quite solid. Getting down is either a down climb or jumping off onto the mats.
As with any part of the West Coast the weather is very unpredictable and receives a great deal of rain. Best climbed in summer.
limitazioni per l'accesso
Access will vary depending on which area you wish to climb but there should be no major issues.
avvicinamento
The start of the road is about 1.5 - 2 hours from Burnie, 10 min from Tullah. Simply head towards Queenstown from Tullah via the 'Anthony Link Road'.
dove alloggiare
Decent camping spots can be found at Lake Plimsol, closest facilities being in Tullah.

storia
No doubt climbers have been aware of these boulders for years, potentially climbing a few, maybe as warm up's before committing to climbing in the Tyndalls. Since 2014 a few easy and easily accessible boulders have been climbed while driving through. In March 2019 the first concerted effort was made to put up a few problems on boulders in the one area.

sommario
The first area where multiple problems have been put up is at the base of the Tyndals.
avvicinamento
Simply head up the Northern of the two power line roads that lead to the Tyndal range walk. The first and best of the boulder's will be obvious on the southern side of the road, with the rest ranging to the north.

1.2. Red Hills Bouldering 10 routes in Field
- Summary:
-
Lat / Long: -41.850913, 145.603409
sommario
Red Hills bouldering is a new area just off the Anthony Link Road north of Lake Plimsol. Discovered by Adam Donoghue and his kids Ella and Jarrah in late 2022 development has only just started here but there is potential for plenty more. Freestanding boulders are spread up this valley so there is plenty to go for and it is very conveniently located off the highway.
avvicinamento
There is a short side road with a gate about 3 km north of the Lake Plimsol boatramp on the west side of the Anthony Link Road. If coming from the south the side-road is 23.6 km from the intersection where the Anthony Link Road (B28) leaves the Zeehan Highway (A10). Park here, walk through the gate and then continue across the creek and up the obvious valley to the north. The Gorilla Villa boulder will be hard to miss.

Some pretty good bandit camping down by the boatramp.
storia
Adam discoverd these boulders recently. Initial development only so far but looking forward to much more to come.
