Description

Just 20m left of 'Rosies' is this vertical face, with some very impressive spotted gum trees. This is the best crag in this area for sub-22 climbers. The slightly harder routes L around the arete are fairly resistant to rain and seepage.

Access issues inherited from Nowra

This climbing area has recently become a focus spot for tension between climbers and the local Aboriginal community. Be informed and respect closures. Clean up chalk and rethink adding additional new routes to crags with access issues.

From the Northern end of Walsh Crescent walk though the clear bush track and down a gully to directly arrive at the wall on your right.

Ethic inherited from Nowra

Mostly developed as a sport climbing and bouldering area. Some trad climbing exists, mainly the pure cracks. If developing new areas keep an eye and and ear out for Aboriginal cultural heritage, including cave art.

Extra bolt added in runout. Add a little spice (and interest) to the climb with a more direct start - you don't need to do the big right hand easy move if you work out a little sequence.
