INDEX Sydney – Eastern Suburbs Inner West Northen Beaches North Shore North West Hornsby and the North Hawkesbury River Colo River Sutherland and the South South West Sydney Southern Highlands Lower Blue Mountains Upper Blue Mountains Wolgan Valley (Newnes) Central Coast Hunter Valley- Watagans Port Stephens A rescuer’s guide to rockclimbing crags around Sydney MAPS The maps used were those in the operations room at CareFlight. The older style maps (Australian Geodetic Datum 1966= AGD66) are out by 105m less on the eastings and 190m less on the northings compared to the newer ones with the photo on the back (GDA94 = Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). This is close enough to 1 grid number less on the eastings and 2 on the northings. The exception to CareFlight maps is the Upper Blue Mountains which were mostly plotted by Mitch Warren on AGD66 maps. Thanks to Mitch. ERRORS I have tried for as much accuracy as possible using guide books for descriptions. This will give certain errors, sometimes significant. Plus the grid reference gives a 100 x 100m area, so it’s not that accurate anyway. Only GPS readings from the sites will improve this much. Lat/long readings were derived from grid references using the freeware AMGVG program. ? means I can’t exactly determine the map ref from the description. It is my best guess. ????? means I’m hopefully within 500m. May be way off. NOTES H = height Crag height is only approximate, in metres. Max height given. Beware in Blue Mountains, where climbs maybe short on large cliffs. TYPE Crag type refers to the style of climbing and fixed protection. The use of upper and lower case aims to give a brief idea of proportions at the crag. S = Sport climbing. Fixed protection (bolts, fixed hangers and ring bolts) for climbing as well as at anchors and rap stations. T = Traditional climbing. Not usually hardware though occasionally is. Quite variable hardware at anchor spots. Many crags still have bolted rap stations, but can not be relied upon. On shorter cliffs will include Top-roping. B = Bouldering. Ropeless climbing on small cliffs and boulders usually less than 5 m in height. Ropes rarely needed in rescue. Majority of injuries # ankles.
