Boomerang Slabs 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.

descrição

A nice slab with 6 bolted climbs in the low grades. The rock is volcanic and generally good but watch out for the odd hold that tries to escape. All routes could be top roped if you pay attention to extending the anchors. The slab stays in the shade until midday. Climbs described left to right facing the cliff.

questões de acesso

If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales.

história

Originally set and bolted by Ian Boyle (1980's), an outdoor educator who grew up in the first house built on Boomerang Beach. The slabs are nicknamed the 'Dogs Ear', due to the shape of the headland. Climbing has been established here since the 70s/80s with a few routes rebolted and a few more added.
