Cranberry Crags

A very pleasant little crag located in the southern suburb of Loftus. The easiest way to get there is to drive to the end of Cranberry Avenue, Loftus, and then follow the fire trail down the hill until it forms a T intersection with another fire trail (about 500m from the end of Cranberry Ave). Turn left at the intersection, and then wander up to the crag about 50m further on.

Most of the best climbing seems to be towards the right hand end, although I didn't get much of a chance to check out the left hand end of the crag. There are quite a few initialed climbs here, although very few of them look leadable. The exception is a nice 8m corner crack about where the "track" hits the cliff. This is about grade 15 and makes a really nice lead to the top of the crag.

The crag faces primarily west, but is surrounded by thick bush, so its probably suitable for climbing both in winter (afternoons) and summer (mornings).

The guide for the area is the newly published Sun, Surf and Sandstone online guide book. This crag is described here.
