There's one main, feature wall facing NW with some very nice slab/face routes relatively well bolted, but heaps of other routes. Best are grade 19-23 range?
I haven't been there since the fires so dont know how the rock was affected.
How the fires affected the strength of the bolts is unknown at all ACT crags?
Most bolts would have been dynabolts. I dont know how heating affects the temper of them or their brackets. It was certainly hot enough to rewrite the books which had assumed that erosion was due to freeze expansion (mountain style), whereas it now looks as though fire is really a major factor around Canberra.
Anyway its certainly worth a visit. Bit of walk uphill, but not as bad as Booroomba.
Even some new routes to do.
