Summary
Plenty of rock on both sides of the river near the old abandoned Maldon Bridge.
Description
Climbing on both sides of the river. North side: A cutting on the now abandoned north side of Maldon Bridge Rd. Its a small crag (approx 8m in height) with super easy access & 5 min walk down to the Nepean River for a quick cool off in summer. Maldon weir (spillway slide) is also located just 250m upstream. South side: scattered boulders.
Access issues inherited from New South Wales and ACT
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. For more information, including donation details, visit https://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting/
Approach
5-10 min
Park at locked gate at end of Wilton Park Rd. Walk down road towards old bridge.
The Weir Boulders can be accessed from a scramble down the hillside off the road (when the weir comes into view).
The Main Cave and Environs can be accessed heading down the road to the bridge where there is a footpath (rightside). Head down this then find path of least resistance heading off right (easterly direction) towards the river. The cave is where the river bends towards the south.
There is plenty of rock on the north side of the river (including the cutting), which can be accessed by crossing the river. Potential access from Maldon Bridge Rd depending on activity of the quarry?
Ethic inherited from Illawarra and Shoalhaven
Lots of bolts in this region. Most development has been done after the 1980s.
