Mostly the area is known for being the home of the Sundance Crack, one of the best moderate finger cracks around! However there more than a few good boulders scattered through the surrounding hill side.

acesso

Park at the Bald Hill Campground and follow faint track south-west for 200m (behind the drop loo) through bush until a gully/small talus is seen, most of the bouldering is located here but you can find more scattered all over the place.

história

This bouldering area was probably found back in the day by the same crew who stumbled on the Sundance boulder, however with only rope glasses on they seem to have missed the potential for fun bouldering. Found and developed by a small crew a few years ago, most FA's have been done in this area (harder climbers may find more!), more can still be added but they would potentially be harder/hairier lines.

Not the worst crag in the Perth hills

descrição

Really needs a better name than "Quarry Creek" which implies it's a quarry which it is not. It is in fact, a rather high and impressive steep wall. Unusually good rock for a Perth micro crag and unusually high. Easy access too.

What’s the catch ? Not many routes and despite the wall being impressive, it really could do with some more holds. However it is 100% worth the visit. Especially if you continue down gulley to the boulders at Peak Discontent for a few routes.

Oh yeah, keep an eye on your cheese sandwiches and iPhone. As the local goats are keen on human contraband.

acesso

Follow google or your chosen equivalent to Quarry Rd Morangup. Drive down Quarry Road and turn rightward when the main road continues on as Forty One Mile Rd. This is just before the old airstrip (a big exposed grvael strip easy to see on google). Quarry Rd is gated at this point, just 100m or so off the main gravel road. Park here and avoid blocking the gate.

Walk down the continuation of quarry rd, down hill, for 20mins or so and take the first road on the right. Follow it for 5mins to a creek crossing at the bottom of a gulley. Head down the gully toward the Avon River, easy open bush for 5-10mins. You will see the impressive wall on your left soon enough.

Find your way to Quarry Creek, and keep heading down gulley, down stream and when it seems correct, head up right, steeply, to the big boulder. Keep an eye on google earth to guide you.

There are lots of other interesting medium sized boulders in the area. Some even have routes on them, long since forgotten by the Walyunga Druids Bolting Association. Have fun exploring.

sumário

Summer bouldering Only. In the winter the river will be flowing and will make the boulders unclimbable. When the river is nice a dry, the boulders are easy to see in the middle of the stream.

An isolated granite boulder located in scenic Helena Valley bushland. While relatively small, it features a decent number of short, moderate to hard routes to interest those looking for something different from the surrounding quarries.

acesso

From the roundabout at its intersection with Ridge Hill Rd, drive east on Helena Valley Road for 3.5km to the end of the bitumen, where you will need to park as there is a big new gate here. Walk a further 500m or so on gravel until the road degenerates to a tangled mess of intersecting tracks, none of which goes anywhere. On the south west corner of this area (the near right hand side) there is a white gate. From the gate, walk along the track that goes directly ahead (i.e., not the track that heads to the right) for 1.13km whereupon you will see Bridle Rock on the right hand side about 50m off the track itself.

ALTERNATIVELY: Can access the track via South Ledge Road for 4WD. Theres a steep little drop-in next to a locked white gate on the left of the road, you cant miss it. Also is super easy to hike in this way if you only have a 2WD, just dont block the drop-in.

Either way, get to the trailhead mentioned above and head downhill following good pink-marked trail for 5-10 minutes until trail opens up and splits in two.

If you head to your left past the cairn you will find 50-SOG, Throw Down Boulder, Frontline and Project Boulders. If you head right you will find the Main Area and Approach Boulders.

If you have a mountain bike and a compatible crash pad, you can shave a good half hour off the approach time, though there are some very steep sections where you'll probably want to push the bike.

A few years ago, Churchman's Brook was one of the most popular climbing locations in the greater Perth region. On any weekend, many individual climbers and would-be climbers can be found there, all vying for a piece of the cliff. These days it is a lot quieter. The area is well developed in terms of established routes. These range from beginner to hardman climbs, with the majority around the grades 14 to 21.

Churchman's is located east of Armadale in bushland that overlooks the Roleystone Valley. Access is via a short walk from the end of Beeloo Close (dirt road), off Churchman Brook Road. The cliff is in two parts - to the west is a small beginners' slope, to the east is the main climbing area

The discovery of the Churchman's Brook cliffs in December 1975 by 'Mac' McArthur was a milestone for the sport of climbing in 'Western Australia'. Up until then, the only metro climbing areas were the quarries and several small cliffs in the Wungong Dam area. 'Mac' had known of the cliff for several years, but his furniture business had kept him from exploring it. When his busy schedule allowed, it only took half an hour of walking from Soldiers Road to locate the cliffs. Today's trails had not been formed at that time, and there was an abundance of vegetation at the base and top of the cliff. Mac was not the first visitor to the area, it is rumoured that local legend, bushranger Moondyne Joe, had a hideout in the cave near the descent gully

After the initial discovery, Mac led a group consisting of Mike Smith, David James and Richard Rathbone on the first CAWA look at the cliff. This group were responsible for most of the early routes. After a quick reconnoitre, all started up different routes in the centre of the cliff. These first climbs were slow affairs and saw several false starts because every handhold bigger than a thumbnail was covered in vegetation and dirt. Smith eventually led the first route, called 'The Sting' (14). The crux on this route was complicated by a hornets' nest which was not found until too late. Next to be stung was Dave James, while putting up the The Bite (16). 'The Fang' (16) by Mac followed

Climbs went up at regular intervals until the early 1980s, when CAWA went into a bit of a decline. During this period, a small but dedicated group including Ron Master, Warren Lees, Wayne Carroll, Mark Gommers and Mark Paramore, as well as some of the earlier climbers, continued to develop the cliff. Alex Oslow put up the classic Super Slab, a fine fingery 21 protected with the first bolt on the cliff. Paramore was responsible for the desperate Gates Of 'Mordor' (20R). Local climber Warren Lees freed the then hardest climb in WA, Up For Grabs (22) which is a brutal climb best attempted only after a long dry period

Follow your road map to the junction of Albany Hwy and South Western Hwy in Armadale. From here take the Albany Hwy for 200m east and then turn L on Carradine Rd. After 1km turn L on Canns Rd and after a further 3km turn L onto Churchman Brook Rd. Follow this for about 1km past a large paddock. Turn L into Beeloo Close, a dirt road with sign for Wungong Regional Park, Churchman's Bushland.After 500m park at a large cleared area before the gate (leave it clear). Leave nothing in the car, as break-ins have recently become common, in step with urban development in the area.

Track heads off to the right from carpark including many steps until reaching the east end of the crag. CAWA volunteers put in these steps and the ringbolts at the top of the crag. We hope that these actions will reduce erosion, increase your enjoyment, and encourage you to support CAWA.

Due to the large amount of small pebbles at the top, it is recommended that belayers wear a helmet here. Of course leaders are best served by wearing a helmet too - for example upside down falls onto this blocky cliff can be quite hazardous.

In summer, even early mornings can be very hot, but from mid-afternoon on the cliff is in the shade. Commercial abseiling is forbidden here.

Facing the cliff, the routes are described from L to right.

Darlington Boulders contains a large amount of sport climbing on boulders. The climbs are generally short and technical.

acesso

Parking is on Nelson Road next to the Darlington Estate Winery Entrance, there are two locked gates here.

Walk past the gate located at the end of the road and walk along the 4WD track for approximately 1.8km.

After approximately 1.8km you will come across a small clearing on the left side of the road. The trail down to the boulders begins at this clearing. It is a faint trail but is fairly obvious (you’ll know it when you see it). Click the link for a picture of the start of the trail: https://ibb.co/ZX3p0Dy

Follow the trail through the bush for approximately 100m.

This trail will take you to the ‘Ironing board’, ‘Solstice’ and ‘Pyramid’ boulders. All other boulders can easily be found from here.

Note the coordinates provided do not lead to this trail. Walk an extra five minutes or so down the 4WD track from where google maps directs you and you will find the trail.

Perth area's premier outdoor climbing crag with a large number of sport and trad climbs, close to the city with good parking.

descrição

Mountain Quarry is the Perth area's premier outdoor climbing crag. It is located within Greenmount National Park, north of Coulston Road. It is very well-developed with a large number of bolted routes, having first been visited in the 1960s and developed ever since. As well as many sport routes for all experience levels, it also offers a number of trad and multi-pitch routes.

questões de acesso

The gravel road into the quarry runs off the carpark on Coulston Road and has a combination-locked gate (normally locked), the code to which can be obtained from the Department of Parks and Wildlife Perth Hills District office (9290 6100). The quarry is also easily accessible on foot from the car park on Coulston Road. Don't leave valuables in your car.

acesso

The quarry is situated on the north side of Coulston Road. The entrance to the car park is about 100 metres past the junction of Coulston and Hudman Roads. If the gate lock combination is known, the drive into the quarry is straightforward in a 2WD vehicle. The walk up the hill from the car park is about 5 minutes. Don't leave your car unlocked even when you are climbing nearby, opportunistic thieves on motorcycles are known to visit.

história

When the quarry was first visited in the mid-60s, it was a forbidding, rock-strewn death trap ringed by loose and menacing boulders on the skyline. The place is completely different today. Development at 'Mountain Quarry' was slow due to the lack of naturally protected lines at the then current level of climbing.

A breakthrough arrived in March of 1988 when Mark Colyvan from Armidale NSW freed the old Michael Adams - Tony Fowler aid route Damper A2 at the new grade of 23. The line was renamed 'Skywalker' and it still stands as a strenuous test piece for the grade. It takes a left traversing undercling and jam crack at the most obvious roof in the Quarry (on the right as you enter). In April 1988, Mike Law made a whirlwind visit and created Fuzz Bucky, with a chip here and a chip there. This climb can be found on the blank low angled wall facing the entrance. Originally grade 24, now 26, as far as the author knows this climb has not received a second ascent. These visits sparked new activity by locals, now armed with bolt kits

The first of these 'new' lines was Urban Ethics (22), a good quality face climb by father and son team R & R Master. Others joined in with a number of good climbs in the 20 - 21 range. Harry Butler produced Vader (22), an excellent line that has dumped a few budding hardmen, and 'Power Play' (20), a gently overhanging flake crack originally done on aid. Ron Master with Michael Adams then put up Go For Broke (21M2), a route involving some exposed face climbing with delicate aid moves to finish. Other routes for that year were Butler's 'Chrysalis', an unrepeated loose face climb, and R & R Master's sustained Hang Ten, which the team later straightened out at grade 24.

Sporadic activity continued through 1989 - 1990. A shaded seasonably wet bay at the back of the Quarry produced Split Personality, again by R & R Master. This climb takes a flake, wall and crack system with 2 variants at grades 17 or 21. These two also bolted and climbed Mullup (21), a good quality route with a delicate but well protected crux. David Wagland appeared on the scene in April 1990 to climb the classic Barren Awakening (23M1). This line consists of a wall and open corner at the central end of the Quarry facing the entrance. The crux involves a bracket bending dyno past the first bolt. Attempts to free the aid have failed.

Progress continued and the first sports-type climbs appeared but not without some controversy. On entering the Quarry, a small bay to the left is encountered which contains a steep 10m wall, with an obvious gently overhanging thin flake crack. This problem was first climbed, on aid, by Peter McKenzie who took a ground fall when his pitons zippered on the final placement. Several years later, a visiting UK climber was witnessed successfully soloing the climb after several times falling from half height. Then three bolts appeared courtesy of Shane Richardson, who did not know the past history, and City Limits was given a grade of 26.

Gary Matier put up Sylvia (21), on an obvious granite buttress in contact with a dark collapsed dolerite dyke, and The Force (22); a good line with varied wall climbing. Matthew Rosser contributed a sustained and technical climb on compact dolerite at grade 22, this line is called Land of the Orange Druggie. R & R Master were back again in 1991 with 'Fringe Benefits' (23). This climb shares its start with Vader but instead of moving left to the arete, takes a thin seam and wall through the left edge of the 'Skywalker' roof. The team also climbed a sister route to Wagland's Barren Awakening, which uses the same upper chain anchor. Learning to Fly (23M1) contains sustained and technical cruxes, hence the name

Even more recent is Peter Koval's Month of Sundays, a weekend project that eventually yielded a well prepared and technical grade 25. A bolted line has appeared on the wall between Urban Ethics and Go for Broke, put up by Phil Calais, it is graded at 24 and known as Star Wars. This climb contains some dubious bolts and pitons, hence it is advised that gear should be checked before leading.

The sports climbing scene arrived into the quarry with a vengeance with Anthony Bell's 1993 effort Cranial Void (27), a route that seems to have all the good holds upside down! Hardbody boulderer Derek Toulalan then added Sweet Pea, originally graded 28 but now downgraded to 27. Bell replied with Black Ambience (29) but the softly spoken Gerard Chipper has had the last word with his desperate deeds on Cardiofunk (29). These are the hardest climbing routes near 'Perth' to date. Much cleaning of the dirt-covered City Limits wall by Logan Barber & Co. produced Space 'Monkey' (28) and there are two more projects nearby.

'Mountain Quarry' still has the potential for new lines and not all of them in the upper grades. However, effort will be required to remove loose rock and create the necessary bolt placements. 'Mountain Quarry' is now Perth's premier top end climbing venue.

Park on the corner of Glen Forest Drive and Jelicoe Road. Walk down the 4WD track that continues in the place of Glen Forest Drive. When you reach the end of the fence on the left turn left down obvious track. Turn right down obvious track just before the house. Once you pass the house on your left, after about 30 seconds turn left down faint trail at the grass tree. You'll pass an abandoned quarry on your left and come to the Fin boulders on your left shortly after. The trad lines are further on to the left.

A well-developed outdoor climbing site with a large number of sport climbs, close to Perth with good parking.

descrição

Statham's Quarry is a well-developed outdoor climbing location within Gooseberry Hill National Park with a large number of bolted sport routes. A lot of effort has been spent removing loose and dangerous rock, and routes for all experience levels are available. As well as climbing, the Quarry is used for other activities such as abseiling and hiking. A drop toilet is available at the site.

questões de acesso

The gravel road into the quarry runs off Ridge Hill Road and has a combination-locked gate (normally locked), the code to which can be obtained from the Department of Parks and Wildlife on 9290 6100. The quarry is also easily accessible on foot after parking on the closest corner when driving down the Zig Zag road. Don't leave valuables in the car.

acesso

If the gate code is known, turn off Ridge Hill Road into the gravel road and drive straight into the quarry. Note that the gravel road can become difficult/inaccessible to 2WD vehicles when wet. Alternatively, park at the carpark halfway down Zig Zag Scenic Drive (this is one-way, entered via Lascelles Road at the top of the hill) and then walk in via the track. This track is about 500m, and passes through an unlocked, labelled gate. Head toward the large boulder at the top of the quarry, then follow the path down to the left and around into the quarry floor.

A stretch of weathered limestone cliffs beside the Swan River, arguably Perth's best outdoor training site. Most opportunities for climbing involve traversing the several hundred metre-long cliff. However, there are a number of 8-10m faces above deeper water, providing an opportunity for soloing in relative safety.

The climbs are between 6m and 11m high, grades from 6 to 21 with potential for some harder slab problems. You’ll need about 8 quick draws. There are 3 main anchor points (fixed hangers). Bring some long slings/static cord and locking carabiners if you want to build lower offs, and thankfully leave your bolt plates at home. The crag faces west, best avoided in summer and after heavy rain.

Crag is at S 31°49’06.2” E 116°04’18.2” Park in the cul-de-sac at the end of Macham Road in Millendon. Follow the track that skirts Susannah Brook till it veers left at an orange gate (approx. 1.7km / 25 min) and crosses the creek. Keep going past the gate to the next remnant fire trail that turns off right up the hill to the south (good place for a dip when creek is flowing).

There are issues concerning the approach - the description in local guidebooks will take you across privately owned land that is indistinguishable from the surrounding national park, and the landowner is not happy about it. However, the approach can be made without encroaching on the private land. See the http://www.climberswa.asn.au entry for Fern Road for more information.

From Kalamunda, drive 5.6km east along Mundaring Weir Rd, then turn left into Fern Rd. Continue to the end of the bitumen and about 50m further to the signs indicating the Bibbulmun track; park here without obstructing any of the tracks. Walk downhill along fence past the farmhouses and continue along this bearing for another 300m after the fence turned right. (Note: at the end of fence, do NOT descend into the creek to your right, as this is still on private property, although unfenced. This descent is roped off and you should see a sign on a tree marked 'Private Property'.) Instead, keep going straight and you'll pass a tree with a yellow plastic bucket nailed halfway up the trunk. Descend the footpath down the hill leaving it to the right at the broad slab and after 30m you'll come to the creek (same creek which you did not descend) with the crag visible on the far side. The whole walk-in is about 1km or 15 minutes.

Travel south on the Albany Highway from Perth. About 4.5km past the Jarrahdale turn off there is a forestry track on the left hand side of the road at Lat/Long -32.338515, 116.223358. Apparently this was previously blocked by a log, but it isn't anymore. Maybe check with DPaW if it's ok to drive through here, otherwise it's a nice enough walk. This 4WD track leads uphill in an easterly direction for 1km where there is a crest marked by a cairn. On the left, a reasonably distinct foot track leads into the bush for about 80m to a small clearing with another cairn. Another track leads to the left (north) - it's pretty winding but it's also marked by pink or blue tape in occasional trees, so keep an eye out for those. Walk 10 min or so until you pass below the summit of Mt Randall on your left. Continue to the north for about 100m to find the main climbing area, which is somewhere off the path. Refer to the Lat/long on the location map for more precision. Wear long pants at least and probably long sleeves too. The bush is pretty scratchy here.

The routes are moderate, well bolted, sport climbs with hardly any smearing. A handful of quick draws is all you need for a great day out. A couple of routes need some natural gear and a stiff brush might also be handy for some of the routes near Big Man’s Rump, especially if they haven’t been climbed in a while.

The cliff faces west and is very pleasant in spring and autumn. After rain, in the cooler months, the cliff is best avoided because it is not quick drying.

Echidnas, wallabies and Alcoa blasting teams can be seen by the soft footed. The crag has over 20 routes, mostly fully bolted. They are all reasonably good, long and sustained for Perth slab routes.

Don’t let the word slab put you off. There is not much smearing, and maybe the routes are better described as off vertical face climbing on small holds. The rock is very featured with crimps, pegmatite crystals and grippy granite nubbins. It is great rock to climb on.

The crag was originally found by Derek Shaw and Chris Swain in the late 1990’s. An attempt on the Full Monty version of Big Man’s Rump (crack) was made. Since then it has lain dormant until the spring of 2014…..

Drive approximately 46 km along Albany Highway from the traffic light intersection in Armadale. The Cooke Pine plantation is on the left (eastern side) of Albany Highway. Turn left into a gravel track (at the ‘Water’ sign) about 50 metres beyond the southern end of the Cooke Pine Plantation. There is an area to park behind a stand of Marri trees 50-100m down the track. Here your car will not be visible from the road. If you get to the power lines crossing Albany Highway you have gone too far.

Walk in:

30mins walk from the car to the crag / picnic rock. From where you have parked the car, walk back up the track and cross Albany highway. Follow another gravel track (blocked by logs) through to an old gravel pit. Follow the track through the old gravel pit which is populated by many young banksia trees. At the end of the gravel pit go through 100m of bush and cross an old road, then head through the bush again aiming for a rocky slope. Cross the creek and zig-zag up the rocky slope (hill). Go through the bush to the top. Follow cairns and pink marker tap. From the top descend through patches of open scrub and granite until the top of the slabs are reached. Descend the gentle slabs, aiming for their north end where you should find a large flat rock wedged against some trees. This is the picnic rock and a great spot to leave your pack and watch other climbers. The crag is divided into three climbing areas:

Big Man’s Rump
Yaganing Slab
Sensible Sock Slab

Big Man’s Rump is on your right (looking down) and not obvious. Yaganing Slab is to your left (looking down). And Sensible Sock Slab is further left past Yaganing slab.

A small isolated boulder field North of Bells Rapids, in a picturesque location. The approach is long and the area's potential is limited, but on the slopes of the hillside, there are a few projects and boulders that could possess some hidden gems.

questões de acesso

Access is through Bells Rapids Park and Jumbuck Hill Park. Respect the local vegetation.

acesso

Approach from the carpark is around 40 minutes.

Park at the Bells Rapids carpark, cross the Bridge and follow the obvious hiking trail North. There will be a junction where the path forks (-31.770608, 116.064346), with one path going North-West, away from the river, and another continuing directly North. Stick to the North path, keeping the river on your right.

Alternatively, an easier route is to descend to the lower track that runs along the riverbank. This is flatter and cuts out a lot of elevation gain and descent, however, you'll eventually need to reconnect to the higher track.

Either way, head North and follow follow the trail for 30 minutes until you reach a second junction at (-31.755020, 116.066803). From here, you should be able to see the boulders on the hill to your left.

At the second junction, continue North for 5 minutes. At a bend in the path, just before a gully with a dried-up creek there will be a cairn (-31.752948, 116.066881). From here, head directly West, off the hiking trail, uphill for 5 minutes. You'll arrive at the 'Goat Boulder'.

There is a mix of fully bolted, fully natural and mixed routes, with all bolts being P‐bolts. There are double Pbolt anchors on top of each boulder for belaying. The rock is granite, with 3 separate boulders, up to 10m high. Currently (Apr 2012) there are 12 completed routes, ranging from grade 15 – 21, with a further 10 projects already bolted.

Head out of Perth on Great Eastern Hwy, then turn right at The Lakes roadhouse onto Great Southern Hwy. Turn right onto Yarra Rd, then left onto West Talbot Rd. After 9.5kms turn right onto Kent St (@ S31 57.688 E116 30.867).

After 3.5kms turn right onto Deefor Rd (@ S31 59.381 E116 31.264). After 3.2kms turn left onto Nuytsia Rd (@S32 00.506 E116 30.034).

Drive 1.7kms along Nuytsia Rd and turn left into a small track which leads to the parking area about 200m into the bush in a small clearing (and only 50m walk to the crag).

The crag is somewhat 2WD accessible (do not bring a 2WD vehicle you aren't happy to get a little bogged / scratched up), although 4WD is preferred as there are some rutted and sandy sections, and trees are frequently down across various roads.
