Description
Home to one of the best sport crags in the country and a whole host of adventurous multis in a fine position.
Access issues
Bare Rock is situated on private land, and access is through a road maintained by the local land owners. Please drive slowly and respectfully on this road. There is a donation box at the carpark, and everyone is asked to pay $5 per car for road maintenance.
Please also be sure to keep the neighbours road access clear at all times. This is essential.
Camping has been closed during the summer months.
Approach
Follow Legge Road (right turn as you enter the town from the west) towards the rock. At the end of the council maintained road sign, take a sharp left and follow to the parking behind Andrew’s property.
Be sure to drive respectfully, or the local landowners will close access.
Where to stay
Andrew has graciously allowed climbers to camp on his land up behind his house - and has even installed a toilet.
Camping here is closed during the summer months, but Fingal is an RV friendly town, and you can stay at the park with the dump point. It even has coin-op showers
