not many people seem to be coming up to the mountains ever,its really good.
theres lots of trad routes up here as well and youll have a heap of fun.

theres a guide book as well, it pretty shit though but youll get by.

What's the deal with climbing in NSW...isn't there some crap rule about getting a permit?

someone is definitely spreading this rumour. i meet an american climber who had been told that he had to get an $800 permit before climbing up here. i quickly put his mind to rest. but it seems that the rumour has spread further afield now

With regards to recieveing a permit to climb in NSW park lands, you will find documentation either throught the National parks or NSW climbing clubs. Being from NSW a climber and user of the cliff faces. It's my understanding that a previous rule meant that you did require a permit / authority to climb in NSW National parks, but only recently this was changed to the following, (PS my own understanding)
NSW Parks contain Managment Plans, within that plan is a list of activities that the park can allow, if climbing is listed on that list your good to go, BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE GIUDLINES ' IF ANY'. As the Parks will still have the authority to remove you if you don't follow their managment plans. I'll do some research into my resouces if you wish to know precise info.
Cheers Timbo
