Beginners Crags? 1-Sep-2013 At 10:52:38 AM Snacks

Message

Mt Alexandra at Mittagong would have to be one of the most beginner friendly crags I can think of that roughly fits that description. And it's only an 75 - 90 minute drive from Sydney depending on where you live.

The grades are a bit higher than the 11-12 you're after, but since they are bolted sport climbs the 12 - 15 range don't fit the mega choss death description you're worried about it's a good trade off.

It has a short walk in from the Mt Alex car park. 4-5 minutes walk-in.

Top ropes are easy to setup by someone with a bit of abseiling experience.

And I'd say one of the best things about it being a beginner crag is that you can talk climbers that are climbing grade 22-26 into going as there is quality stuff in that range. Handy if you want a bunch of top ropes setup for the kids quickly.
