Barden Ridge
A great little micro crag with zero access. Although the crag isn't that extensive, it does reach a decent height (about 12m) and is definitely worth a visit if you're after a pleasant day of easy to mid grade romps.
The guide for the area is the newly published Sun, Surf and Sandstone online guide book. This crag is described here.
Climbs described left to right (facing the cliff).
Let the Games Begin! 13m 18
Offers some great moves on jugs out the big overhang at the left hand end of the main wall. BR, 2 FHs (first is poorly placed - it loads the biner over an edge) then a mid size (#2.5 or so) friend for the headwall. BB and tree belay.
Gotta Love this City 12m 17
A good climb with some nice slab moves to start, some cool cranks over the bulge at half height and some nice delicate climbing up the headwall too. 3 FHs (optional cam after the first) to BB belay.
Budawang Barking Beetle 12m 16
Starts just right of GLtC. Very similar to GLtC but more fun because it's pretty much all on natural gear. Take some wires for some great placements just below the bulge, and small to medium cams for the rest. 1 BR protects the crux right at the top. BB belay.
Speed Zealot 12m 17M1 (originally graded 17)
It's got a heinous start for 17!! Probably goes free at about 21 or 22. Up slab past 1 FH and cams in breaks to cave. Swing over roof (FH) and up on jugs. Tree belay.
Her Name is Iris 6m 17
Start below rounded arete 15m right of SZ. Nice moves past 3 FHs (2nd looks a bit dodgy). BB belay.
