There are many existing climbs on the granitic rocks in the Arthur’s Rock vicinity, and on Arthur’s Rock itself. Please stop by the visitor’s center to review the climbers guides (route guide and bouldering guide), or visit www.nococlimbing.org
This early summer some new routes were created with bolted protection and rappel anchors. Some of the routes are “mixed” (bolted and traditional protection) – stay tuned for more route additions this autumn!
Bring your crash pads, quickdraws and gear rack, there’s climbing for everyone!
