I would suggest Gibraltar Peak or Kambah Rocks.

Gibraltar Peak is mostly single pitch leading and toproping on granite. Routes such as 'juveniles and geriatrics' 15 and 'skippy's slab' 14 would be good toproping/top belay options. See 'ACT Granite' Guidebook (can buy from Mountain Disasters on Lonsdale Street Braddon).

Kambah Rocks is really only toproping (leading is bit contrived and desparate) on a good 10-15 metre high rhyodacite (volcanic) cliff next to the Murumbidgee River. Grades Mostly in the low 20's but a good 14 and I think an 18 or two. Again, have a look in the guidebook. If it's a good day there is swimming in the river. Short walk in near town too.

Cheers

Cam
