Access: Climbing Access in Dairy Farm

Latest update about discussions with NParks can be found here - https://www.change.org/p/national-parks-board-singapore-protect-rock-climbing-at-dairy-farm/u/30873370

If you are considering going climbing here, please understand, appreciate and accept the following -

  1. Dairy Farm (DFQ) is a defunct granite quarry that was blast-mined when it was active. As such, the internal integrity of the walls is unknown and rock fall has been observed by climbers through the years.

  2. DFQ is NOT a playground or a gym, where risks are minimised for you. Please ensure that you possess adequate outdoor climbing skills and are able to protect yourself.

  3. There is a chance that you might be fined by NParks for going "off-trail" under park regulations.

  4. Please practice good stewardship of the area and educate yourself on "Leave No Trace principles.

Grade Route

Unstable rock on the first pitch but fun climb. Two chains but some rusty anchors, and now obstructed by a fallen dead tree that needs to be removed. Second pitch is slabby, then vertical. Second pitch has no anchor and ends at a small bolt and impossible to retreat without leaving gear. Old aluminum locking biner there left by previous climbers.

Set: Chiew Sien Chew & Toh Beng Cheong

FA: Chiew Sien Chew & Melvin Chiang, 1996

From the far left of the step go up a set of twin cracks then bear right onto cleaner rock before going straight up to the anchors. Warning - this route has lots of loose rock and failure to bear right will lead to dangerous rock.

Set: Kahlil Lawless

FA: Kahlil Lawless

Warning Rock: Covered in moss and after the 3rd clip, there are significant loose holds.

FA: Chiew Sien Chew, 1996

Second pitch is overgrown and has lots of loose rock. No anchor visible.

FA: Lawrence Lee & Lau Yoke Fong, 1988

Runs up the ledges to the right of the main crack. Quite mossy. Guidebooks say Trad only but appears to be recently bolted.

Note: I think it's 11 bolts, but might have remembered wrong. Take a few extra just in case.

FA: Johnnie Hwang & Lim Kim Boon, 1988

FA: Lawrence Lee & Anthony Seah, 1991

Turtle is overgrown and now has a bees nest mid route, and those stings hurt. Give it a miss.
