Burrinjuck Dam Mostly Trad climbing 10 routes in cliff

  • Grade context: AU

Description

On the foreshores of Burrinjuck Dam there are a number of climbs up to 25 metres tall - single-pitch. To get there drive to Yass and then turn off on the Wee Jasper road, then drive to the water skiing tourist resort at Goodhope, about 16 km from Yass. Boats can be hired. A deposit will most likely be needed.

NOTE: the climbs listed here are "currently" closed due to concerns about liability and insurance (currently being as of some years ago). This is not to say access cannot be negotiated in the future.

Access issues inherited from Australian Capital Territory

If you have benefited from climbing access and infrastructure in the ACT, please consider joining the Canberra Climbing Association (CCA). The CCA spends considerable behind-the-scenes time and effort managing access for the climbing community to ACT climbing areas.

Membership is inexpensive and provides a great way to keep up-to-date with access issues, codes of conduct and general goings on in the ACT climbing community. Membership also provides discounts for local outdoor retail and climbing gyms.
