Introduction

Three small crags located along the cliff-line below Stanwell Tops, overlooking the lush forests and beaches of Stanwell Park. Stonehaven is a rap in and climb out affair. Rebolting in recent years has made this crag more accessible, but it still needs some traffic to keep it clean. There is loads of rock and potential for more development, particularly at Stonehaven.

Access

Park at the end of Stonehaven Road, Stanwell Tops. Access to The Lookout and Hargraves Wall is via the Wodi Wodi walking track. Follow the walking track (extension of Stonehaven Road) past the Tumbling Waters retreat, along its fence line, cross a creek and head up the path. At the 1st T-intersection, go left to the fenced lookout area above The Lookout and Hargraves Wall. It is possible to catch the train to Stanwell Tops as the Wodi Wodi track continues down the hill for 1km to Stanwell Park railway station. <br/> To reach Stonehaven, go right at the 1st T-intersection (heading away from the Hargraves fenced lookout area). Take the next left path, then the next left again and follow the white, sandy leafy path for 80m (if you are on a yellow, rocky path you have taken a wrong turn). 10m before this path ends at the cliff face, take the right hand 45 degree turn off (heading south). You will soon see a large rock outcrop (with views of the beach) move to the right of it down the hill past a mtb "berm". Pass over 3 natural rock steps and 30m on (at right angles to the track you are on, 14m before the end of the track) there is a path heading east - follow this tree marked path to the top of the Stonehaven climbs.
