Northmead Quarry

Bouldering

Introduction

One of the earliest bouldering crags in Sydney, Northmead Quarry seems to have faded into obscurity over the course of the 1990s. Despite this, it offers a wide selection of good, generally hard problems, with excellent flat, grassy landings (although be careful of broken glass). The crag is covered in detail in the 2001 Sydney Bouldering guide.

Access

The crag is located in Charles Herbert Reserve, on the eastern side of Whitehaven Rd in Northmead.
