White Rock Conservation Area
Varied bouldering on rough sandy sandstone. *DO NOT CLIMB ON WET SANDSTONE!! (It breaks holds and destroys problems). |
The Board Walk
A selection of boulder problems on the small cliff faces directly below the Bluff Lookout. This is one of the Old School Areas, people have been bouldering here since before the 90's. |
The Board Walk |
V0
★ A Nice Walk
Improbably worthwhile slab opposite Chicken, Brie, and Avacado on the other side of the track. Do it with no hands (not even pressing against the rock!) to add a grade or two and get an awesome lesson in balance! |
V0
Chicken, Brie and Avacado
VE Stand start on the left hand side of the small boulder, just to the left of Grovel Train. Short easy warm-up |
V0
Grovel Train
Start in middle of small face, then head right into wide crack and grovel your way to victory. |
V2
★ Slap-a-crack
Sit-start at the bottom of the crack using obvious block. Head up left, following the crack and making use of good features on the face. |
V0
★ Reach, flex, repeat
Stand-start using big flake, head up and left using more big flakes to finish at the break half-way up. |
V2
★ À Demain
The Sit start to Reach, Flex, Repeat. Start sitted with RH on arete pinch/sidepull and LH on incut pinch and obvious feet. Two big moves into the flake. This sit start breaks the sandbag of Reach, Flex, Repeat. Finish matched on large obvious crimp. Should top out but it’s way too dirty above. |
V3
★ Tic-Tac Low
Start as per Hockey Stick. As you round the corner, stay low instead. Move left to small feature pinch with a low shouldery crossover crux to good hold at low on crack (rock on ground is out for feet). Move diagonally up (left of crack) using small left sidepulls and right slopers to finish. |
V0
★ Hockey Stick
Next to the Crack, a nice long slabby line. Start inside, next to the crack, moving left, get onto the shelf with your feet, and tuck yourself inside the overhang. Follow the line around on the shelf on good holds, heading up and across after you move around the corner, then continue across, with the traverse ending about where the tree is. |
V4
★★ Tech Arete
Stand start the base and balance up the arete to jugs, make your way towards lip building courage as you go. Hidden holds lead to mantle. Top inspection and a clear head recommended. |
V4
★★ Crack
Stand-start using the right leaning crack, head straight-up to finish with a big move to the hold under the roof. One of the classic problems of the area. |
Crack Extension
Continue left at the end of crack via the pockets beneath the roof. Keep going till your standing on top of Gaston the Grey. |
V7
★★ X Front
Climb up the start of Y Front, trending right through the crack and into slopey crimps. When you reach the slopey dish dyno for jug blocked against roof, roughly 1 and a half meters from the finishing jug of Crack V4. |
V7
★★ Y Front
Start as The Crack but carry on up obvious line to finish. Technical and very sloppered crimps define this face climb. Unrepeated |
V6
Culture Vulture
Stand start with positive crimps in the break 2m left of “Gaston The Grey” and good RF. A long lock off to crimps straight up. Either dyno to the lip for V6 or cut right into GTG for V5. |
V5
Gaston the Grey
Stand start on the grey streak, just left of the large block. Move up via gaston or dyno to a good crimp rail then mantle onto ledge and out. Multiple holds have broken since the FA. It's likely the problem will need an upgrade. |
V0
★ Short and Crack
Up the obvious wide crack in the corner, bridging on some nice percussive rock. |
V2
★ Rock-skating
Stand-start using flake, then straight up with some nice footless sections. |
V3
★★ Iron-stone crimp technique
Stand-start on small iron-stone edges and ok feet, straight up. |
V5
★★ Mullet Mayhem
This techno, crimp-ladder begins as a sit-start on TTA. Pull on and move up, stepping left, finishing up ISCT. |
V4
★★ Tarte Tatin arete
Sit-start on the arete and finish right. |
V2
★★ Edges like a babies bum
Stand start on good edge, head straight up on decent holds. |
V1
★ European Cave Man
Sit start at base of obvious flake, up flake trending left to top out. |
V4
★ The Look Of Silence
Sit-start of “ELABB”. Commencing right on the obvious honeycomb pocket and sidepull crack (same as Hotel Rwanda). Move up and then crimp across left to gain the large edges of ELABB, finish as per that. All of the crack and boulder to the right are out. |
V1
★ Hotel Rwanda
A direct version of European man cave, sit starting left on a good RH sidepull and cool LH pockets. Joins EMC at the massive jug flake 3/4 of the way up. |
V4/5
Ollie's supersonic scrubber
Stand start up crack then head right to mantle obvious overhanging shelf. The boulder and wall to the right are out. |
V2
★ The Cut
Squat start on jugs either side. Use the cool arete and then up to a break. The crux is the mantle, slapping the right hand side of the bloc; compression. The slab/wall on the right is all out. |
V0
★ C'mon more energy!
Stand-start on the left hand side of slab, straight up in a test of your single-leg strength. The wall to your left is not in. |
V3
★ Slab-n-pop
Stand-start on right hand side of slab using obvious foot, straight-up. |
V7
★★ Rise With The Fallen
Start up And Better sit start, traversing left without stepping in the cave into Tree Fall. This boulder combines the three most difficult lines of the wall. |
V4
★★ Tree Fall
Crouch start using high RH side pull and LH undercling moving up to a break then into a very powerful crux. Classic of the area |
V5
★★ And Longer
Start as for "Tree Fall" and traverse delicately to top out above "It Gets Better". A plethora of feet prevent you from stepping in the cave without contriving the problem. Unsuspectingly compelling and technical movement. |
V3
★★ And Better
Stand-start using good edges and big foot above the left hand side of the small cave. Trend up and a little right. |
V6
★★ And Better Sit Start
Sit start to “And Better”, starting direct under AB on the sloping rail LH and RH on right positive slopper- with heel hook above the small cave. |
V1
★ It Gets Better
Stand-start on the right side of the small cave- left of The Downfallen. Head up and slightly right on good holds. |
V3
★ And Best
Sit start as for The Downfallen. Climb straight up until reaching a line of crimps below the lip. From here, make a technical traverse left to top out as for And Better. |
V1
★ The Downfallen
Sit start on the right side of the little cave. LH on slopper pinch jug- right on sidepull crack- feet start on dish underneath the RH crack. Ascend |
V0
Big Triangle
VE Squat start with hands on good edge, up and mantle. Easy, somehow fun |
V0
Flakey
Sit start at the bottom of the left leaning crack, then head up and left. |
V0

V0
A little more action

V0
★★ toddlers traverse
Around the corner from quit tennis approximately 10 metre from the corner of the cliff edge A good one for beginners Standing start using obvious jugs half way up to the crux from here traverse to the corner of the high boulder using undercling's and side pulls before using the corner to top out at 4m |
★★★ Project
Start under the huge bulge and make a long move to a decent hueco, supporting crimps will get you in to position for the tiny face crimp over the bulge, from there make a huge move to a decent crimp on the face and continue crimping powerfully until victory jugs await you. Some holds have broken off this recently |
V6
★★★ Perichoresis
Start on the slab, up to the large jug rail, big move up to crimp and top out. |

Little White Rock
A collection of small cliffs and large boulders found behind Little White Rock. Also known as Antiquity, after the classic V5 put up by Rob Saunders, originally done as a V8 straight mantle. At the back of Little White Rock there's an old sign pole with no sign. At the pole head off the main track(away from little white rock). Follow track around for approx 80m's. Behind little white rock, off the main track ahead (away for lwr) and around the right hand side of the small cliffs and boulders. |

V4
★★ Numbers Game
Sit start very low in the middle of the boulder with LH on a positive rail and RH in a shallow 2 finger pocket, with feet on the shelf. Do some serious body English to reach a high RH crimp flake, then hit a good LH crimp before mantling out. So named because it feels like V7 initially, but climbs more like a 3 or 4 if you figure out the body positioning. |
V2
★★ 12

V1
The Hideaway
Stand start and ascend the arete |
V7
★★★ Antiquated

V5
★★★ Antiquity
The original line. Sit start on jugs in the middle of the wall. Head straight up and mantle out. Classic |
Antechinus
An eliminate route. A "J" style problem in the tradition of Joshua Tree. Jump from the ground to the sloper where Antique Roadshow tops out, muscle up and top out using ONLY this hold. A little contrived, but a lot of fun. |
V10
★★ Antique Road Show
Sit-start on barely there holds, moving left into mono's and finish on jug below ferns. |
V12

V1
★ Jump'n'Hump
Be aware that there is a rare plant that calls the boulders we climb home. It is in our interest to accommodate it. More details can be found on the ACAQ web site: http://www.qldclimb.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/White-Rock-Rare-Plant-Notice-4Sep13.pdf |

V2
★ Yogitoes
Sit start up through slopey rail to sidepull and mantle. |
V1
★ Cheese Curds
This slabby problem stand-start’s on two underclings with obvious huge footer at the far right of the boulder. A balancey move to start, gains a large sidepull, then to a cool small RH pocket, directly up to a cruisey finish. Cynthia named it after Pountine, she's Canadian eh! |
V1
★ Cheese Sandwich
Sit start to the right of Cheese Curds in two opposing sidepulls with good feet on the low rail. Make a big move and top out to the right side of the boulder next to the arête. |
V1
Modern Art
Far left problem on the separated boulder (crack on right is out). Sit start on a peanut pinch LH, RH on a decent crimp, LF smearing and RF on good footer. Straight up to the great horizontal slopper break and big holds on the finish. |
V3
★★ Jeans Recommended
Start inside of small cave on a massive ledge, work outwards and into the crack. Head to the start of the cave and finish upwards. Be careful of spiders and other deadly creatures dwelling in the hole! |
V4
★ Contemporary Art
A squat start on the lip of the cave on good holds leads to a couple of powerful moves. This line eliminates the arete and the crack on the left, by just climbing directly the face. |
V3
★ Face crimp line
Sit/Stand start on good jugs or edges on R arete of boulder. Up and L to low face crimp then up to sidepull flake and mantle. Footwork essential. |
V8/9
★★ Crimp Dyno
Squat start on two crimps in the scoop. Crimp up the face to a big dyno. Classic |
V4/5
★★★ Rocket Boy
Sit start as for Repeater, but head left to a good LH Pinch and RH flat hold, and dyno to the prominent bump on the lip and top out. Will be a V4 for shorties. |
V2
★ Repeater
