'Kangaroo Point', affectionately known to locals as 'KP', is Brisbane's outdoor climbing gym. It is one of the most user-friendly crags around, with gigantic concrete bollards at the top of the 20m high cliff face for setting up anchors. Perfectly flat grass awaits your bouldering falls. Free barbeques lay in ready for your post(and pre?)-climb feast. Night lights allow you to climb into the wee hours of the morning. The river awaits your...hmm...actually, don't worry about the river. Caked-on chalk, climbers on top-ropes galore, a few chipped holds and bolts, bolts, bolts. Get it into ya! Since almost every square metre of 'KP' rock is utilised, the routes are of widely varying quality. The crag is most popular with top roping beginners who do low quality routes in the 14-17 bracket. Most of the better climbing is found on grade 20+ routes. The rock is Volcanic Tuff (like Smith Rocks in the US). The majority of routes are bolted face climbs. There are a few cracks around, but they are rare and not particularly inspiring. Generally, the rock has a quarried texture and is often sandy. The main wall of 'KP' is one long continuous face without any easily definable sections, the exception being the creekbed, bridge and vegetation of the waterfall which divides 'Left Main Wall' from 'Right Main Wall'. One quick way of orientating yourself is to use the numbered lightboxes spaced along the base at regular intervals. The climbs have been grouped into sections based on these lightboxes. Climbs in all areas are listed left to right. Many of the bolts at 'KP' are newer ring bolts (RB in the descriptions). There are also fixed hangers (FH), as well as some carrot bolts (BR) for which bolt plates are required. Most, though not all, of the sports routes have double bolt belays (DBB) for lowering off. Bollards and rings at the top allow for easy top roping, although a large section of the 'Right Main Wall' is inaccessible due to thick vegetation. Of note if you're planning to lead rope solo, there are bolted ground anchors at the base of 'Pass The Bosch', 'Prickles', 'Kiwi', 'Idiot Wind' and 'Pterodactyl' . There's also a bolted belay halfway up 'Kass' for practicing multipitch. The bolts are maintained by the volunteers of Safer Cliffs Queensland, funded entirely by donations from climbers. The cliffs face northwest and become scorching hot when the summer sun hits them mid morning, so climb early or in the evening under lights. Outside the summer months climbing is pleasant all day. The rock dries quickly after rain due to the direct sun. It's easy to be lulled into a false sense of safety at 'KP' with such easy access and all its facilities. However, it is still a cliff and falls of (often large) rocks occur not infrequently. Serious injuries have occurred. Treat 'KP' with respect and always wear your helmet.

Head to www.revelstokebouldering.ca for free downloadable topos. This is a small area, but what is lacking in quantity is more than made up for by the classic problems on bullet proof rock. The majority of the problems are harder and fall between V5 and V8, however the Boxcar Boulder hosts a number of excellent moderates and is within spitting distance of the parking lot. If you can pull down on double digit problems, this is the place for first ascents! There are many amazing looking lines that are clean and waiting for a send

Le Dôme possède une roche particulière, grise pâle, parsemée de trous et de fissures, semblable à celle retrouvée à Kamouraska. Ce massif a peu d’angle (dalle) mais à droite complètement, il se redresse pour faire place au secteur des toits, majoritairement surplombant. Il faut remonter à 1970 afin de connaître la première ascension par la voie l’initiation. On compte présentement 64 voies et la plupart ont plus d’une longueur. La montagne ne compte que sept voies sportives. C’est donc la protection naturelle qui domine. En plus des protections habituelles, il s’avère utile d’apporter des tricams Camp pour protéger les trous à rebords positifs. De plus, grâce à leur double axe, on peut également utiliser les Camalots BD en position ouverte après les avoir entrés dans les trous. Plusieurs vielles voies n’ont pas de détail, car très peu répétées et parfois sales. Il reste encore bien des itinéraires évidents à ouvrir, surtout dans le secteur de King Can et le secteur des toits, pas trop sales puisque l’angle du mur est plus apic, alors avis aux intéressés.

A steep face visible from the road offering hard(ish) climbing on glassy (or chunky) quartz mix. The landing was built in 2020 and while there are some established lines there are a few project lines still to be taken down in the double digit V range.

The south face of East Portal rises proudly above the trees opposite Doctor's Wall but, despite its significant size, it sports few routes of quality and sees minimal traffic. Most people visit to climb one of Skaha's best gear routes, 'Double Exposure' (5.9), but 'Intimate Stranger' (5.12c) is excellent and deserves more traffic. The mandatory gear placements at the start discourage many potential attempts. Conditions: East Portal faces south and gets plenty of sun throughout the day, but a number of very large trees cast shade on portions of the routes as well as the base area.
