Barrenjoey Heads is on the northern beaches of Sydney and contains plenty of beginner-intermediate grade sport (pre-placed bolts and protection) and traditional climbs (place and remove your own as you go). Most of the routes are in the difficulty range of 10-22 (US 5.5-5.11b) making them a great place to find your feet climbing outdoors. We found Boxing Day to be a little crowded but the bucketing rain early on New Years Day seemed to discourage just about everyone which meant we had practically the whole (dry) crag to ourselves.</p> <p>I present to you the photos, starring Jono, Chris B, Chris C, Naomi, Damien, Edwin and Harold the lizard:</p> <p><a href="https://images.wordspeak.org/climbing_at_barrenjoey/">image gallery</a> (shots by Edwin, Chris B, Chris C)</p> <p>So, who's for <a href="http://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/moonarie">Moonarie</a> in Christmas '07?</p></div>PhotographyRock Climbinghttps://www.wordspeak.org/posts/20070104rock-climbing-at-barrenjoey-christmas-06.htmlThu, 04 Jan 2007 11:36:06 GMT
