This place has possible new route potential if you are climbing overhanging granite. While the rock looks impressive, it is of variable quality and has many loose flakes and large crystals because of the arid climate. The flakes are also home to a large number of lizards and smaller rock dwellers. Please respect this reserve and only place glue in bolts WITHOUT fixed hangers and be aware that Peregrine Falcons nest in some of the nooks up on Suicide Rock.
This area is in a nature reserve and contains some rare and endangered flora and fauna. It may look pretty scrappy, but please take care and look after this area if you visit.
Turn onto Suicide Rock Road. Follow and park just before the gate, which will be about 100 metres from the base of the cliff. Choose your own adventure through the light bush to the base of each climb, though there are some faintly established tracks here and there.
Descent for climbs on the main block (Grasping at Immortality through to Touch me I'm Sick) is via walking off the back and east (left) going the easiest/ safest way possible. Once off the block a track takes you back down to the base of Grasping at Immortality.
Trad as well as bolted sport routes. There is a mix of carrots and fixed hangers. Glue in bolts without fixed hangers are preferred as they reduce the visibility of fixed hardware.
