Access issues inherited from Mt Yarrowyck

The majority of the bouldering and climbing at Yarrowyck is located on private property, and the land owner was a climber and has granted access to all climbers anytime, EXCEPT for all crags east of the ridge line which are too close to the land owners house and are off limits, in particular 'Captain Pugwash Memorial Buttress'.

Please do not leave garbage around, leave gates as you find them and do not harass stock. Climbing at Yarrowyck is a privilege, not a right.

The access tracks are in the Nature Reserve which is managed by NPWS which takes you to the Aboriginal Rock Art site. Bouldering or climbing in the reserve is not clear so please avoid this and check the boundaries when exploring.

Long sequence of technical moves to top

Burly start easing to top

Heads right from start hold

Long sequence of technical moves to top (Not!)

SDS from detatched flake and dyno to lip via pinch rail before topping out.

A right hand hold below the pinch rail has broken, leaving the problem a little harder. It still awaits a post break FA.

SDS at pointy jug with detached block for feet, climb right and up on crimps.

The start flake has recently broken off, leaving the problem much harder. It still awaits a post-break FA.

Up groove from edges to slopers

Dyno to sloping lip from large edges

Up from glued sidepull to long edge then left to hold at lip and mantle.

Obscure and crap, intensely reachy.

SDS. Follows obvious crack to the left and up, either staying underneath on slopey holds or trending high and using underclings.

Start as for 'L'envers du decors' then up to crimps at break and on to the arete to finish up 'Thumb Power'
