Lat / Long: 1.361663, 103.773160

summary

The granite is smooth and hard, making smearing difficult.

Handholds and footholds are usually small and flat. Lots of crimps. Not unusual for features in the rock to be very negative.

An old quarry, Dairy Farm is located off Upper Bukit Timah Road.

The crag is comprised of a hill feature that has been quarried through the middle leaving steep cliff faces on two sides.

Quarrying activities in the area ceased relatively recently, leaving loose rocks in the area.

approach

The approach is a very easy 5 min walk from the car park at the intersection of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Dairy Farm Road.

Safety note

- If belaying from the ledge below "And Justice for all" or "Perverting the course of Justice" consider anchoring yourself to a tree or some solid rock - otherwise if the climber falls before the first clip they could stumble off the ledge and bring you both down. It may be easier and safer to belay from the ground rather than the ledge. Note that both of these routes have a lot of loose rock, a helmet should be considered essential for those on the ground here.

approach

Extracted from Dairy Farm Natural Rock Climbing Facebook Group on 18/03/19

A tree fell from the top of Rock Star area, above the routes "Short and Sweet" and "Hangover", and plastered these 2 routes with sand. Some rocks far above were also brought down by the tree. The area at the bottom has been cleaned up. But risk of rockfall still exists. Don't linger at the bottom if you're not climbing. If you are climbing, stay alert to the potential hazard above.

Be aware that in the gully above 'Short and Sweet' and 'Slash isn't real' there is a lot of loose rock held together with not much but sand and mud. Real chance of pulling down big chunks of rock here, so be very careful.
