Description:

This isn’t the super high quality, compact Grampians sandstone people know Australia for, but Whiterock is high quality for Queensland standards most definitely. The rock is very sloppered and hueco’d- with a lot of people saying it is most similar to Font in style as well as stone. Many classics litter the areas with a lot of them having mantel cruxes on sweet nothingness.

People have been bouldering at White Rock conservation park for the last 30 years. The park covers a huge area with a multitude of areas scattered throughout.

This is Brisbane’s closest premier bouldering zone. Be aware of critters, like snakes and spiders! This is the full Aussie Climbing experience.

Slab Land for the technical affectionate, Tattoooine for the burly powerful, Underground for the horizontal roof monkeys and the board walk for old classics.

Lots of the areas can be accessed by a mountain bike. On a bike the half hour walk to White Rock is reduced to about 10 minutes!

Development so far, has mostly been concentrated on the easier accessible areas to trails. This park still has a huge amount of potential and undiscovered areas. So get out there brushing!
