Barrenjoey - the other crags 16-Jun-2012 At 6:26:35 AM pmonks

My notes from 15-odd years ago are here (scroll down to get past SW Barrenjoey). WM's notes (mostly from the same trips) are here.

Of the non-SW-Barrenjoey climbs I only have memories of "The Holy Hour" - good, but hard and rubbish fixed protection (ancient mild steel carrots). At the time I didn't know the difference between a good bolt and a bad bolt... It's also not as high as SW Barrenjoey (despite appearances) - it's just more prominent since it's sticking out of waist high scrub.

I also remember walking around to Disorder Corners and thinking it looked alright - it's the only patch of even remotely decent rock on the entire northern side of Barrenjoey, and looks quite good. The problem is the fixed gear looked like absolute crap and there's no top access to top-rope it (steep loose hillside above). We also caught a couple "in the act" around there - thinking back it was a bit odd that they didn't move somewhere more secluded after we parked ourselves under the crag for half an hour (strictly to check out the ~~root~~ route potential, mind you!).
