Hi,

Looking at visiting here this weekend, but just read somewhere it is closed for climbing, is this true?

Any good suggestions for lower grades well protected routes around the area. Is it all trad or are there sport areas?

Options at the moment is the upper gara gorge or Yarrowyck, which is best?

Cheers

Iain

last I heard Yarrowyck was closed (maybe someone more local can confirm?). The climbs I did years ago
at Yarrowyck were easy but very runout from memory - so I thought Gara Gorge was a better crag
anyway.

Yep, Dalai is right.
Email Uncarved and Gordon or Ben will point you in the right directions.
Mt Y is not off limits, at least the main area near the carpark and the classic trackside boulder.
Have fun, the best granite bouldering in OZ.

jac seems to agree with me. Even if she is a little confused about jimbo's sexuality.

come on james... i wanna hear some good old state rivalry. I'll start the ball rolling.....

QLD is such a bore. Most of em are so sick of frog butress that they need to resort to novelty type routines. How many times one must try to climb 3183 meters of filthy cracks in a day... barefoot... balancing a dodo egg on one's head ?

Too much sunshine and sugarcane i think.

So does this mean the few of us based over here can get away with more once you've crashed out for the night?
