Hey all,
I have been working down at Nowra today, and about to head off. Its dissapointing being so close to the crag but no one to climb with. Is there any good bouldering areas at Nowra that are not too hard. Or should I just try my luck and hopefully there will be someone at TP that will belay for me.. Ideas??? Thanks Bundy |

go down to cheesedale or any of the overhangs on bomaderry creek. the problems are hard but there are heaps of hold so just grab on and play. there may be someone down there but thursday in autumn may be lucky?

I went to TP car park, and there was a car there, so I went there to have a look, but no climbers. Oh well, just good to have a look around and find some projects for winter. There is just so many good looking routes, but so few winter weekends.

You now my thoughts on bouldering Rod.
I was working in the South Nowra industrial area, so TP was just so close. I am sorry, I will take your advice next time. By the way, if one was to get into bouldering, what is a good crash mat to buy, that does not cost the earth. |

There's some good problems around The Lot.
If you find a cheap crash mat, could you let me know where too? |

I just bought my online cost around $300 but its not that important at Nowra as most landings are flat and dont top out

Mr Hawk,
Thompsons Sunrise is pretty easy to get to. Just drive to TP as normal, but instead of parking down near the cliff park in the clearing 500m or so back from the cliff. There is a sign (I cant remember what is says) there on the edge of the clearing when you enter the bush, there is a path there at the sign, and follow this down to the crag. There is heaps of easy stuff there,and a good 18 (simimlar climb to Vanderholics and Diddy Kong), also a great 22. Some other climbs as well. I think Rod Y has put some more up but I haven't been back.. |

I should have read your post correctly.
I was working in the gong, and popped in the hangdog on the way home and had a climb with my mum. I was chatting to Rod, and he drew me a map and toppo with all the routes. But that was ages ago.. |

not that i am aware of. there has been a heap of development of the grotto cliff line since the last guide. there is some much rock around nowra though. just drive west and you find cliffs everwhere.

G-land been put up by Greheam Fiarbairn and associates, if my sources are right? If so all would be hard as hes been climbing with the Cossey boys lately, and i imgaine some of that hardman stuff has rubbed of on him.

gland is an indonesian surf spot, greheam is a made up word, and if i didnt have a shiteload of stuff still to do in the mountains i'd be happy come down to nowra with you- as it is, i have to finish off my nemesis bolt ladder, jack high. :rolleyes:
i am planning a week down at nowra first week of the school holidays though if anyone's up for that? |
