Flinders cave is a modern discovery indeed. The cave hosts a great deal of obscenely steep, hard routes. Nicknamed “27 Heaven”- the climbing is upside down ceiling thuggery- which translates to be very physical and relentless. 'The Secret Cave' or ‘Flinders Cave’ is sixty metres high, but from twenty to fifty metres overhanging with the main wall being about twenty metres height at 60°- 80°. As Cameron Fairburn writes- “We had found the steepest terrain in QLD, or I should say rediscovered. We found a line of old 8mm hardware down the right wall of the cave that belonged to Frey Yule. We think he checked out the cave about five years previously but then moved interstate. The cave is SSW facing, so no sun all year round and only a 40min drive from 'Brisbane'. Unfortunately, there is also the 2.5km, 40min uphill walk in as well. The rock is solid volcanic trachyte with formations uncommon in Queensland; it's a mixture of fused blocks, huecos, crystallised slopers and hard crimps - the holds can be quite sharp. Some of the easier routes like 'The Nightmare of Milky Joe' (23) and 'Never Ask the Moon' (22) are super-fun cut-loose jug fests. Early in the piece, Glen established 'Wet Jigsaw Puzzle' (25) a short pump fest that climbs out of the steepest part of the wall. To add to this he climbed 'King of the Mods' (27), adding to a huge range of 27’s to come. Then the numbers rolled, I freed my project after my food was spiked 'Like a Man on Pepperoni' (27), possibly the steepest climb in 'Queensland'. That was until Glen equipped his, an 80° blank arête project, 'A Space Odyssey' 25m 30 or 5.13c”. 'The Secret Cave' consists of two developed areas: the steep main wall and a right hand wall which, although not as steep as the main wall, offers some challenging climbing. 'Terminus of Desire' (25) climbs from under the large overhang. This route will be used to access the steeper upper wall which has the potential for a couple of super hard routes. With all this new development Ross returned to develop what he hoped would be a nice easy sub-20 warm up. He ended up establishing 'Finger Tips and Mountain Tops' (23), an intricate crimp-fest climbing above the lip of this right-hand buttress. Ross then established 'Song and Dance Man' (27) a steep juggy start into a hard crimper sequence. Glen the power monkey campused his way to glory on Backstroke of the West (27) while another buddy of ours Antoine Moussette battled scorpion-eating spiders on one of the best 5.12c’s or 26’s in Qld “The French Connection' . There is still so much more to do. Hard unclimbed projects, the undeveloped upper wall and the central cave section as well as some creative batman starts. 'The Secret Cave' has proved to be a valuable asset to 'Queensland' climbing, not only in the unique steep terrain, but also in the addition of ever increasing harder sport climbs in 'Queensland'. When to go: All day, any day. Providing you can handle the heat on the walk-in.

Dark side of the moon is the first crag to the south of Stone Temple. This is a highly featured 150ft face with amazing chert climbing!

Introduction: The Glen Lake crag offers relatively easy access, close proximity to Greater Victoria, and caters to beginner and intermediate climbers with routes ranging from 5.7 - 5.11- , from low-angle to slightly overhanging with at least one overhanging pump fest. The view from the top, back towards Victoria, is spectacular. The rock is good quality weathered basalt – lots of friction and many edges and flakes. It is located 5 minutes’ drive from the Westshore Town Centre in Langford, or 15-20 minute drive from downtown Victoria. Notes: • Hundreds of hours have been put in to the development of this crag. Yet, there are still plenty of undeveloped walls, ie. Black Beauty, at Glen Lake that we would love people to come out and develop. Our hope is that anyone wanting to put routes up here reaches out to us because we believe that we have a very good understanding of the area and could be of great help to you. • A helmet is suggested – the rock is great, but because the routes are new they still need some mileage. There is also a fair bit of loose rocks at the top, much like the South Cliffs of Mt. Wells. • The area is mostly East facing (slightly South-facing), and gets morning to mid-afternoon sun. • The routes with a star beside their name, are the best in my opinion.

With arguably the highest quality rock of all Nanaimo crags, several fine, long routes and easy access, Northwood's popularity is steadily growing. A number of additional routes are under development. All routes are less than 30m except for Sunny Side Up which is likely 31m. Route grades still need consensus. Be aware that there is still some loose rock on the routes so be cautious belaying and please wear a helmet.

Newer crag with nice views of Silver star and the Monashees. Still quite a bit of shrubbery and dirt in some cracks but has some of the longest and best climbs in Aberdeen. 60 metre rope is fine but bring lots of big pieces including a #5 and a #6. Some routes have bolted anchors at the top such as Running Down And Dream, Dark Moon rising and Hand Bomb. Use the tree anchors for the rest.

For information and topos see www. Revelstokebouldering.ca The Hardman Boulders are a collection of roughly 60 problems located on the banks of Cranberry Creek. The boulders are a gneiss type rock similar to that found at the Hardman Bluffs and at Victor Lake Wall. There are a variety of grades present with the V4-V6 range especially well represented. That being said there are plenty of good moderates and few of the current projects should come in around V8. While the landings are not quite as nice as those at the Cranberry Boulders they are still good and are much better than those at Eagle Pass. This area is now more or less developed, however there are still a few harder projects waiting to be sent. It’s likely that the boulders have not seen a whole lot of traffic since the developers moved on, so bring a brush and expect a little moss.

Tall cliff with a lot of potential for future development. This cliff rises well above the forest but has a very shady base. Still very much an adventurous visit if you go there, but the climbs are great, if still a bit dirty. Bring a brush to help.

Was once a quite and secluded area from the main populace where you could find quiet and not many climbers ... ... Chippewa Creek Gorge was formed by glacier movements thousands of years ago. These glaciers exposed outcrops of Shale, Berea Sandstone, and Euclid Bluestone. In the late 1800s the Berea Sandstone and the Euclid Bluestone were quarried for use as building materials. This ended in the early 20th century due to a decreased demand for natural stone for construction. Brecksville Reservation was declared a public park soon after. In the late 1990s the first information about climbing in the park was posted to another rock climbing website. Problems were put up and documented by that generation of climbers, but not everything was posted back then, and the website ended up becoming defunct. Legal access to the park for climbing was problematic. There was a high risk of getting your gear confiscated by park rangers. Around this time, Jeffery Bonatti created a series of hand drawn “Ruff Guides” for the park, but they weren’t highly accessible. Due to this lack of organized information, each subsequent generation of climbers claimed FAs and gave names to lines that have likely been claimed and named multiple times before throughout the years. To add to this, the moss and lichen covers boulders that don’t see much traffic and makes it look like they’ve never been touched. The creek changes the sand bars and covers or reveals footholds and washes away evidence of being climbed. Currently, the park is more accessible and more developed for climbing than recent history. There is a trail being made by the park system going from the main Gorge Rim trail down to the creek where Pinch Arete and Keyhole are. Due to the volume of climbers that have been recreating in the park, it no longer feels sketchy to walk in with pads for a session due to power of the masses. On any pleasant day you can fully expect to see other people climbing. Work is being done to organize the lines into a definitive list with proper photos, names, locations, and grades. On the topic of conditions, many problems have had holds broken off in recent years due to being climbed when the rock is still wet. The boulders in the creek itself are much more tolerant to this due to many years of water erosion, but the rock higher up on the cliff line isn’t used to this kind of stress and breaks surprisingly easy. Surprising like, wow I’m falling but the hold is still in my hands, surprising. It usually takes a solid three days of dryness and wind to get back into shape after a good, longer in the spring and winter. The main parking area for climbing access is the Pavilion area at the East end of Chippewa Creek Drive. It isn’t the first lot by the waterfall, it is ~1000ft down the road, where there are four parking areas grouped together with a swing set and a pavilion. If you walk straight North from the swing set you'll find the chained entrance to the climbing trail with a sign that states “Stay on the designated trail.” Stay on designated trails.

This a new crag with some ongoing development. As such, there are still a number of fixed lines about. Please be respectful and avoid the red tagged lines. This area is highlighted with a large amphitheater with several good lines already open and a couple more that are still being developed. Around the corner, left of the main cave is a shorter wall with a fair number of moderates of decent, if not overly spectacular quality.

'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.

These columnar basalt columns and crack climbs are perched above the Aberdeen Plateau (50.08.38.27N - 119.01.37.46W) about 20km south-east of Vernon, British Columbia. They face west at an elevation of 1350m. It is a short, 5 minute hike from 18km on the Aberdeen - Goat FSR to the crag. Developed columnar basalt climbing is somewhat unique in Central BC (and Canada) and provides good local training for harder crack climbing destinations. Aberdeen is ideal on hot summer mornings or spring and fall afternoons. There are now 130+ steep columnar basalt crack climbs ranging in height from 10m to 22m with grades from 5.3 to 5.11c. Most clmbs are in the 5.9 to 5.10 range. The rock is solid and provides quality cam and nut placements. There are no bolted climbs and most routes have been climbed onsite ground-up. Popular climbs are clean, less travelled routes may still have some loose rock and lichen. There are numerous bolted stations. The Aberdeen Guidebook is located under the Files section on the Aberdeen Columns group on Facebook for more information.

Aside from a couple of isolated moderates on the south face, the narrow tower of Blipvert is the sole domain of long 5.11-5.12 sport climbs, some of the best in Skaha. The lower half of the wall is sheer and fingery, but the upper face bulges, providing a burning forearm pump as the anchors slowly come into view. Of interest to trads is 'Max Headroom' (5.10c), an early Skaha route that's still worthy of attention. Conditions: Blipvert faces west and soesn't see the sun until early afternoon. Cold air trapped under the boulders at the base keeps conditions coolar than on other west-facing crags. It can be frigid climbing here in the shade during early-or late -season mornings.

The climbing is great, and the view from the shade under the overhang is superb. The base of the main (overhanging) face has been levelled to make landings/pad placement safer and easier, but there is still a danger of bad landings, or a roll down-hill. Liberal use of spotters is strongly advised. There is an easy walk-off the top to the East (climber's right). Please pack out any trash, and stick to the paths to minimize erosion. The area sees lots of use, so please be respectful of others.

A 15 meter high sandstone conglomerate cliff near the south end of Extension Ridge in South Nanaimo. Fairly solid rock by Nanaimo Formation standards, with micro-pebble style conglomerate similar to Sunny Side. Some sections of the wall are highly featured while others are completely blank, so there are very few moderate climbs. The crag base is situated very close to a popular, well established mountain bike trail, so do not leave gear on or belay from the trail. This crag is still under development, so please respect the red tags and keep off those climbs. Named after the long defunct Extension Prospect coal mine, the entrance to which lies 100 meters south of the crag,

Intro Slettafossen er et stort og utfordrende klatrefelt med ruter fra grad 5 og oppover. Flesteparten av rutene ligger rundt grad 6-7, og alle rutene med unntak av en er boltet. Feltet er todelt, med en høyre og venstre del. Venstre del har de letteste rutene. Høyre del er langt høyere gradert, og her kan selv den mest hardbarkede sportsklatrer få noe å bryne seg på. Feltet i sin helhet og rutene varierer i bratthet, men de fleste rutene har et litt under loddrett parti mot ankeret. Værforhold Beliggenheten nede i dalen gir ikke utpregede solforhold på feltet, men Slettafossen er i likhet med andre klatrefelt på Verma bortskjemt med et noe tørrere klima enn øvrige deler av Romsdalen. Dette gjør at man ofte kan oppleve tåke og regn på Åndalsnes, men flotte klatreforhold på Slettafossen. Veggenes noe varierende bratthet gjør at flesteparten av feltets ruter berøres av regn, selv om de er overhengende. Spesielle forhold Rauma elv og Slettafossen passerer under klatrefeltet. På noen ruter skal man skal bare noen meter opp i veggen før verbal kommunikasjon mellom klatrer og sikrer er vanskelig.

The Flatirons are synonymous with Boulder and the history of rock climbing in North America. It would be hard to find another location in the country where such an extensive variety, from scrambling to hard "Head Point" routes exist so close to a major metro area. They form the backdrop to Boulder and are the centerpiece of Boulder's Open Space system. There are three main areas: Flatirons North: This area includes classic rocks such as the First, Second, and Third Flatirons, along with the Amphitheatre in Gregory Canyon. Climbs here range from short newer-age sport climbs to long trad routes, including some of the longer trad routes in the area, the whole face of the 3rd Flatiron, which is about 1300 feet and the Direct East Face of the 1st which is about 1400 feet. Hard conglomerate Fountain Formation sandstone is the medium for your rock craft. Flatirons Central: There are many rocks to explore in this area. The "Central" zone spans Bear Canyon to the Ironing Boards (just South of the 3rd Flatiron). Slabmongers can have many field days exploring the numerous smaller Flatirons, and there's a good amount of trad and even sport among these rocks. Have fun in this scenic setting. Flatirons South: This section of the Flatirons holds some of the best climbing in the Flatirons, but it seems to be less crowded. Great rocks such as the Maiden, Matron, Devil's Thumb, East Ridge, Nebel Horn, Seal Rock, and The Goose offer slabs for beginner trad leaders and also more challenging trad lines. Excellent sport routes also can be found, some several pitches in length. The longest climb in the area is here. There is plenty to explore here. (Note: Various of the Flatirons are closed for falcon nesting from Feb. 1 up to July 31 and for bat nesting Apr. 1 to Aug. 31. Historically, some of these have included The Matron, Towers of the Moon, Jam Crack Spire, Devil's Thumb, Nebel Horn, Jaws, The Fin, Sphinx, Medusa, Fern Canyon, The Goose, The Goose Eggs, Bear Creek Spire, Harmon Cave (bats), East Face of The Hand (bats), East Face of The Finger Flatiron (bats), East Face of Der Zerkle (bats), Dreadnaught, Achean Pronoucement, Skunk Canyon Ridge 2 & west, Sacred Cliffs, East & West Ironing Boards, The Third Flatiron, Queen Anne's Head, occasionally Gregory Amphitheatre, and possibly others.)

The Cavorite Boulder (named for a fictional material from "The First Men in the Moon") lays immediately behind (North) of the SME Boulder. The far left (West) side of the boulder was unearthed after heavy rains to reveal the interesting hanging feature found there, and volunteers recently flattened a small platform for pads to allow it to be safely climbed. Please pack out any trash, and stick to the paths to minimize erosion. The area sees lots of use, so please be respectful of others.

Large beautiful buttress in the la ventanas de Mina area.

Niagara Glen is the largest developed bouldering area in Southern Ontario. While it's just a few miles from the touristy chaos that is Niagara Falls, it's a world apart. Hundreds of boulders lie clustered between the cliff and river in a serene setting. With over seven hundred established problems, ranging from easy to V ridiculously hard, the Glen will have you coming back again and again. The Glen offers a mix of pocketed overhangs, thin crimpy faces and slopey sandstone. The rock quality and landings vary greatly throughout. The area has been climbed for decades and unfortunately the dolomite polishes easily, so many of the classics will feel nearly frictionless. See [Niagara Glen Climbing](https://niagaraglenclimbing.ca) for more info, particularly for those looking to make their first visit or still relatively unfamiliar with the glen. It is recommended to purchase the [Niagara Glen Bouldering Guidebook](https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6002-426/Ontario-Bouldering-the-Niagara-Glen) for the easiest navigation around the crag, as the free topos can be quite confusing if it is your first time out. Free online guide: http://www.topout.org/static/pdf/NiagaraGlen.pdf Conditions Reports: https://www.facebook.com/groups/181846299284018/ ACCESS NOTES: Permits are mandatory. Park staff are monitoring daily. Limit your group size & keep your belongings neatly collected to minimize impact on areas surrounding boulders. Stay on trail - no shortcuts, please!

Looking for old school, technical, thin, sandbags? Barrier is the place for you! An original hotspot of climbing in the area. Mostly bolted, although the odd trad or mixed line still exists.

Limestone sport crag located roughly 10 miles south of Benson, AZ, and north of Whetstone, AZ. Over 100 routes and still more to be developed. Some excellent 12's and 13's. Huge cave. Cliff is entirely south facing and gets full sun. Is good if its too cold at The Farmhouse. Free BLM camping is found along the approach jeep track off highway 90. No services. Better camping is found in Las Cienegas NCA a little further south along route 82 closer to The Farmhouse.

First area developed at Duke Point. Great for endurance training on the massive traverse. Most climbs here are eliminates due to the nature of the rock, but many of them are still high value.

Center Stage: A long sandstone cliff with a great landing and tons of climbing opportunity. Most climbs here are eliminates due to the nature of the rock, but many of them are still high value. Stage Right: A small group of sandstone boulders just South of Center Stage. Estuary Roof: Some of the highest value climbs. A small sandstone shelf located down the beach from the main bouldering area.

Montana doesn't strike many as a go to climbing destination (mainly cause it isn't) but locals have found a vast amount of small areas with some high quality lines. Anywhere in Montana you visit, reach out to the local outdoor stores and find what climbing might be in your area. You'll likely be pleasantly surprised how much bouldering, trad, and sport lines will be nearby. Many more areas still have more potential and many areas have yet to be found. You never know, you might find the next king line just around the corner.

Keystone has a great collection of climbs. The rock is excellent, only downside is the crag is pretty short. But the routes are still excellent, if they were longer they would be outstanding.

Source: http://hongkongclimbing.com/guide/cape-collinson/ Cape Collinson features approximately 55 sport routes distributed over 3 sectors. The crag is located south east of Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island. The cliffs face a variety of directions therefore it is possible to remain in the sun or the shade throughout the day. Aside from Bunker Wall, which is non-tidal, access to the main cliff (The Beach) is affected by the tide. The special ops cave on the main cliff is cut off at high tide and whilst the main cliff can be escaped from, by using the hand-line, your choice of routes will be limited. The Zawn is only affected by isolated high tides at certain times of the year however climbing is still possible on the non tidal area below the access point. Tide times and heights can be easily checked at The Hong Kong Observatory – select tide predictions for Quarry Bay. Cape Collinson will appeal to the broader climbing community as the majority of routes are in the low to mid F6s with a handful of routes in the mid to upper F7s. The area and the climbing have an adventurous aspect and attention is drawn to the fact that as a new climbing area, small amounts of loose rock may be encountered. Climbers and anyone else in the vicinity of a climbing area are recommended to wear helmets. Routes have been equipped with safety and convenience in mind to ensure that climbers will enjoy the area and can attempt harder routes without needing to abandon gear should it not be possible to gain the anchors. Routes are equipped to prevent the creation of dangerous run outs between bolts that could contribute to a ground fall. Additionally the intention is to provide another climbing area in Hong Kong which has routes suitable for climbers learning to lead.

The wall is in the middle grotto of Mt. Grotto, the same canyon as The Playground. Most of the climbs are less than 30m and a 60m rope is sufficient. The wall gets direct sun from mid-morning right till sunset for most of the year. This makes Apocalypse an excellent shoulder season option as it is one of the warmest crags in the valley! Most of the climbing is 5.11 to 5.14-. As with any brand-new routes/crags, helmets are strongly recommended...especially considering the rock is suspect in areas. On June 18, 2022 a massive landslide from above took place and cleared the slope just in front of the cave. Luckily nobody was hurt and none of the routes were damaged (that's correct, even The Pillar has been verified to be completely intact - see photo on its page). You may still wish to use caution in the area, however.
