Hi, I came across a cliff line the other day in my travels. There's some good high bouldering , but the main feature is a 10-15m high steep wall on variable rock. Looks like there could be some really fun routes on it.

Problems; It's in the middle of no-where. Off Heathcote road (between New Illawarra rd and Sandy Point), there's a massive quarry type area with loads of dirt trails. It's right at the end of one of these overlooking the George's River. Anyone keen?!

Yup. Semi close to home, on the way home from work. When can we check it out ?

Wow you're fast...

I'm very limited for time! Usually only Friday afternoon. But some Saturdays too. A few hours here and there. I'll try to keep you posted.

But if you want to go yourself (should be right...), here's a low quality map.

I think the coords are about -33.796924,150.9224.

Basically you want to find the place where the power lines cross the George's River. There's a big tower in a clearing along the trail, and if you follow the lines towards the river, you'll fall over the cliff line.

Otherwise, I'll let you know when I'm free. Sorry to be so unhelpful!

If you're climbing around the shire area and like bouldering, check out Alford's Playground. A funky adventurous bouldering area I've stumbled across recently.

That about sums up everything in Sydney!

Nothing a big wire brush and traffic can't fix. I'll get in early and add the stars now to get the masses queuing...
