Bridgewater Park
A disused quarry surrounded by yuppie apartments. Fairly public. Some clean streaks down the wall offer easy highball or toprope problems on sandy rock (bring your brush). BBQs and play equipment too! To get here park at the end of Margaret Street Rozelle and walk down the stairs to the park. Routes described from left to right.

PUMPY! Start at the hidden under cling 30cm to the right of the hand rail and perform a small dyno to begin the problem. Traverse all the way to the the brown wall, round the corner while standing tall on your toes and step off onto the cement cover. Minus points if you touch the brown wall with your heels.
