Wonderland - Difficulty 4-26 This is a one kilometre cliff line with many excelent climbs.The wonderland is located in close vicinity to the Fun Parlor and Sherwood Butress, between these three cliff faces most aspects of climbing can be explored. As the cliffs have an easterly aspect, climbing is best done in the shade of the afternoon.
Fun Parlour - Difficulty 8-23. Located in close vicinity to Wonderland, this was one of the first climbing sites in this group. The first route was completed in the summer of 1984 but many of the routes remained unclimbed until 1989. As with Wonderland, it is best to climb here in the afternoon.
Sherwood Butress - Difficulty 12-24. This is the smaller cliff face of the three in length with only 16 climbs being logged. The rock is quite flat on top, and the trees provide an adequate belay for most routes. Climbing is best done in the afternoon.
Fort Knox - Difficulty 13-27 This is a sport-climbing cliff. Most of the routes here are between 10 and 20 metres high, and most have chains or other types of protection for belaying. Fort Knox is a great location for top-ropers or abseilers. Fort Knox is sunny in the afternoon, so get as much in the morning as you can.
Music Wall - Difficulty 15-25 The Music Wall is located about 1.5 kilometres down the cliff line from Fort Knox. The Music Wall is a short length of cliff with only about 10 climbs located on it. The usual height varies between 15 and 20 metres. As with Fort Knox, climbing is best done in the morning.
Gods Cliff - Difficulty 15-22 This is a three teir cliff with much potential. Access can be gained by a zigzag walking track, and there are three chains set up for abseiling off. The first teir is 20 metres, followed by a 15 metre teir, and lastly an 18 metre teir for the third one. Camping is at the base of the cliff and this site has the potential for a great weekend.
Nymboida Gorge - Diffculty 12-22 This is a 6km long stretch of cliff faces in the Nymbodia Gorge. The height of these cliffs ranges from 18 to 180 metres high. It is wild terrain to get here, and some very serious climbing once you actually arrive at the cliffs. Most of these climbs are multiple pitches, and the ones short enough to climb in a single hit, make up for their lack of height with difficulty. The Nymbodia Gorge is for serious and very experienced climbers. If you are interested in seeing these cliffs, the best way is from the white water rafting boats that frequent the river.
