'Waterworks Quarry' is the central crag of Hobart and after a stint in the ugly corner has come out looking quite good. Why? As of 2009 the place has been given a total overhaul, with a chest high fence with a gate just for climbers provided by the HCC. It has a flat area in front of the cliff (including mountain bike pump track!) for the kids to play, which is a rare treat for family climbers. Finally, almost all routes are nice and safe after having been retrobolted - well that is as safe as you can be on quarried rock. You can now easily do a few quick climbs after uni or work and be home in time for tea.

The trade route for the place is 'Serial Driller'. I quite like 'Death Unto Racists' and 'Bastard Cancer', both fun climbing. Paul Pritchard is a resident climber and in 2010 he and Duncan Meerding (legally blind!) added 'The Blind Leading The Crippled'. It is great to see that such a fine climber is out there adding to the Hobart scene.

It's marvellous to have a city crag where mates can meet and you don’t have to haul your ass to get there. I would love to know who has done all the routes here in a day? A reasonable challange for the gym buffed boys and girls. Check it out. DB

questões de acesso

The quarry is in a Hobart City Council park and the Council are supportive of climbing here.

acesso

Drive up Davey St in the city, continuing straight through the intersection with the Southern Outlet as though you were going up the mountain. Turn left into Lynton Ave, then right into Waterworks Rd. The quarry is about 500m up, right beside the road on the left.

descrição

Mt Wellington / kunanyi, the grand old lady of Tasmanian climbing. A series of buttresses and tiers that bring grown men to tears and where climbers make pacts with God, Neon or otherwise. There is a lot of history to this crag, listed in successive guidebooks, magazine articles and the web. When using guidebooks, past or present, read between the lines. Any route description which says "thought provoking," "bold" or "great if you're a percussionist" has a high chance of excitement.

The Mountain is the best of Australian suburban crags. It has an alpine flavour and with huge exposure – sitting on a lonely belay ledge, 1400m above Hobart, is cathartic. The rock, dolerite, has been lifted by volcanic processes, frozen by snow and baked by sun. It is friable, it is not uncommon to hear a hollow sound come from under your desperate paws. Visitors tend to stick to the classics because most of the bad stuff has been pulled off by some poor sod before you.

Many start at the Northern Buttress, others head to the Fiddlesticks or Moonraker for their multi-pitch fix, some seek out forgotten routes with rusted pitons and flaring cracks. The tiers through the middle have varied climbing on tall buttresses. Whatever draws you here, be sure to bring a helmet, a fleece, and your courage.

Arrive early on a sunny day as the climber’s carpark only fits about five vehicles - park to maximise this. Take care climbing in early spring as the snow melt and freezing over winter will loosen rock. Be prepared for all weather at any time. Most importantly, enjoy the Pipes experience – it's unique.

Climbing the Organ Pipes is a serious adventure! Occasional loose rock, complex route finding and a sense of exposure heightened by the kilometre drop down to sea level all contribute to a wilderness adventure.

Single and multi pitch sport climbing in a beautiful mountain setting.

descrição

Cathedral Rock is a jagged dolerite fin overlooking the Northwest bay river and the southern slopes of Mt Wellington. Some nice bolted climbing exists here but it's a steady slog to the top before you can get busy. It's well worth the walk though. There are a couple of two pitch routes and a handful of single pitch climbs that are all accessed by rap from the summit.

This info was gleaned from information on thesarvo.com - visit this website for more info and good topos.

This face has a couple of nice two pitch routes on it. To access the rap station head east (towards ocean) from where you top out on the walking track. The anchor is about 30m from this point (about half way to Bells Buttress). Next to the rough track a rounded boulder sits slightly down hill facing north. A cairn was in place at time of writing. The first rap station should be visible on your right. Rap 5m to large ledge and and another rap station. From here it is a 45m rap to the very bottom of the route where a DBBis located. You could split the rap in two using the DBB at around half height.

The rap anchors for Bells Buttress are found by walking east (towards ocean) about 100m from where you top out from the walking track. A small descent is made until you see a large triangular piece of protruding rock. The bolts are clearly visible on the northern face of this rock. Walk behind to access. A 15m abseil will land you on a ledge with two separate bolted anchors. From the ledge abseil (25m) from the anchor directly below the first to access the bolted anchor at the start of the three climbs. The bolts that are short distance to climbers left on the ledge are the ending anchor for The Bishop.

This info was gleaned from thesarvo.com check this website for more info and good topos.

acesso

The track to Cathedral rock's summit is popular and a well established track exists all the way to the . This website gives detailed information on track access http://tastrails.com/cathedral-rock/ Once at the top find the bolted anchors and away you go.

Picturesque Dolerite cliffs set in a river bend. The river runs along the base of the cliffs and can make for some fun belay challenges. Check water levels before you head (water.dpiw.tas.gov.au - search for "North West Bay Rivulet At Margate"), readings should be below 1.0 cubits if you want an easy climb. Can be good summer swimming.

The buttresses are listed in order, left to right.

acesso

Access is via the stretch of Sandfly Rd between Margate and Sandfly, and a 20 minute walk. Park at the side of the road by the blue and yellow "Nandroya Vineyard - 200m" sign which faces traffic from Sandfly. From here walk 200m down a semi-sealed road to the river. Head upstream, staying on the left side of the river. There's a walking trail that runs along this side, which follows the river 800m (20 mins) to the cliffs. The trail can be poorly defined in some places so it may be tempting to cross the river. Don't. There is nothing but pain and eye-level branches on the right side of the river.

história

Pete Woolford, Duncan Brodie, Simon Mentz and Grant Rowbottom are names mentioned in the development of this cliff. They're responsible for the strange canine obsessed route names. See theSarvo for the full history.

questões de acesso

Access may be difficult with high river flows. Check flows at water.dpiw.tas.gov.au - search for "North West Bay Rivulet At Margate". It is suggested that flows higher then 1.0 cumecs will make access difficult, because crossing the river will be difficult. This level is a guess, feel free to update if wrong.

acesso

Head to the Sandfly cricket oval on Sandfly Road (C622) and enter the grounds on the left side. Park by the wooden gate under the 'Sandfly Preserve walking track' sign. Follow this trail. 10 minutes walk will bring you to an electric fence, take a right and keep walking along the fence. 20m along this you will see an easy path to the river. The crag will be visible to your right, on low flows you can rock-hop from here.

descrição

This crag has a high occurrence of visits by Scout groups and school 'adventure eduction' classes. The reason for its popularity with novices is pretty obvious when you visit, as it is one of the few cliffs in the Hobart region with a predominance of excellent easy routes. It also contains its share of good hard routes. Rocky Tom's popularity is also boosted by its closeness to town and a sunny aspect. The climbs at Rocky Tom are usually top-roped which is quite easily done (many have been soloed and, to my knowledge, no-one has ended up like Russel Chudleigh yet). Stainless steel bolts provide anchors at the top of some of the more popular routes, and trees are otherwise plentiful. However, there are few gear placements for those who would want to lead. Most climbs are about 8m high and all are on sandstone.

acesso

Access to Rocky Tom requires a ten minute drive and then a 30 minute walk.

NEW ACCCESS: Park at the end of Geilston Creek Road (~ number 85, at a Y intersection where the sealed road ends). Follow the marked walking trail through the reserve, following a mixture of walking tracks and fire trails. As the fire trail sweeps around to the right at a small bridge, a newly formed walking track heads left, up the slope.

Follow this until in hits a fire trail, then push steeply up the hill to a saddle. ~100m further on, turn right and trudge up the hill, following a light track if you’re lucky. At the top of the hill Castle Rock is on your left, Shadow Buttress is on the other side of the hill on your right.

OLD ACCESS: From the city centre, head for the eastern shore via the Tasman Bridge and head for Sorell. Leave the highway 4 km from the bridge at the B33 exit (Mornington, Warrane, etc), turn R toward Flagstaff Gully and park 5 km further on, past the first entrance to the Quarry, at the Flagstaff Gully Reserve, before the entrance to the Quarry proper. Note that the gate at the bottom of the initial hill, by the reservoir (800m from the end of the road), is locked after hours, so it is advisable to park in the area provided just outside the gate. The gate is open: weekdays 6am – 4pm; Sat 6am – 12 pm; Sun closed. The walk has been considered by some to be steep and exhausting, but it is short and along a well defined track. From the car, walk to the end of the bitumen road. Follow the 4wd track (now very rough) which leads down left from behind the tree in the middle of a parking bay. This soon crosses a creek and then heads uphill. After ascending for about ten minutes, the track veers R and a walking track heads up to the L. Follow this for 200m up to Shadow Buttress. The buttresses and climbs are described in the conventional L-to-R ordering. Note that the track first approaches Shadow Buttress, then crosses the hill to Hanging Buttress, before swinging east past the rest of Castle Wall, Square Buttress and White Stump. The Bastille and Lone Tower are approached from Shadow Buttress by deviating from the normal track.

ética

As top-roping is the status-quo, the climbs have been graded for a top-rope ascent.

From Hanging Buttress head east along the jeep track for 300m until the track heads down-hill to the R. The buttress is 30m down L. The rock on the buttress is fairly brittle, so leading is less desirable here than elsewhere. Nevertheless, it does provide very steep and strenuous climbing and provides the longest climbs in the area.

THESE BOULDERS NOW OCCUR IN A NEW SUBDIVIDED BLOCK AND ARE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY Quick access bouldering right in the suburbs.

descrição

THESE BOULDERS NOW OCCUR IN A NEW SUBDIVIDED BLOCK AND ARE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY - Unfortunately a new house has been built on Avoca St (19A) and new fences with "keep out - private property" signs have been erected near the boulders, and a house has been built approximately 50 m away. At this stage, access would be considered trespassing.

Not the greatest crag, or the most pristine, but worth a visit if you have spare time. And hey, it's only a few minutes walk.

questões de acesso

Please don't park in Avoca St as residents have complained. Park and walk the extra 30 seconds from Kent St.

acesso

Turn onto Kent St from Gordon's Hill Rd. Park and walk up Avoca St. Head into the bush to the right of 19 Avoca St, following the fence of 19. A minute in you'll see a boulder through trees to the right, walk towards it.

ética

There's some garbage around from the local hoodrats. Take a bag and grab some when you go; good karma.

These nice boulders are one of the best spots for after work bouldering in Hobart. They also stay reasonably warm on winter afternoons, but seep after heavy rain.

Be careful of the rock here after rain - quite a few holds have broken off when they have been damp.

The small boulder to the left of the main face has a couple of short and very easy problems good for absolute beginners or kids.

Please wear appropriate footwear (climbing shoes or soft-soled shoes). Boots and crampons will scratch the rock.

acesso

Follow the map and park where marked, at the gate off Aruma St. Walk up the road to the reservoir. Skirt around on the left and follow some dirt tracks to directly behind the reservoir. The top of the boulder is another 20 - 30 meters just before the hill drops off, facing down the hill towards the highway. The rock is a little sandy in places, but the access is very easy, so its worth a look.

Drive over the Tasman Bridge to Rosny. Just after you pass the shopping centre you will reach a roundabout. Turn left at this and continue past a couple sets of traffic lights, then turn right onto Quarry Road. Drive to the end of this road and park at the gate of Waverly Park. The boulders are visible up the hill on the left. Walk up the track for a few minutes and then turn left onto another track just before a large stump. This track goes pretty well straight to the boulders and takes about 5 minutes. Follow the line of boulders to the left to the obvious overhanging prow on the first topo. There are a few more easy problems on the aretes and slabs up to the left.

A small dolerite cliff in a nice setting by the water, home to seven bolted climbs and a handful of boulder problems. The cliff dries very quickly after rain, gets afternoon sun, and is a very pleasant place to enjoy a few climbs. All routes have bolted lower-offs. The cliff was extensively cleaned to remove loose rock before being developed but care should be taken as there will still be the odd bit that will come off.

Head north and scramble down and back around to the south to reach the bottom of the cliff. The boulder problems are just below and to the north of the routes.

acesso

Follow the Knocklofty walking track from the top of Poets Road for 100m. Once you reach High Life wall, look up and to the right and you will see a line of cliffs running along the hillside. Walk up the hill opposite High Life wall to the cliffs and go 10m back towards the city and you will reach the Wall of Feckless.
