The Devondale Bouldering Area

A very picturesque bouldering area, perched up on top of the cliffs and facing the Shipley Plateau. Its located just past the Hydro Majestic, at Medlow Bath. Because of the number of tracks criss-crossing the plateau here, it's probably better to read one of the two guidebooks for the area for exact directions.

The crag is a bit reminiscent of Sissy Crag in Sydney, being quite overhung for most of its length. The rock, however, is quite different, being much more gritty and having horizontal slate intrusions here and there. Unlike Sissy, there are also many easy problems to warm up on.

The crag is capped by quite large rooves, so its great on those sunny summer afternoons when most of the other Blue Mountains crags are baking, and is probably also well protected in the rain.
