Kangaroo Point is Brisbane's outdoor climbing gym, with gigantic concrete bollards at the top of the 20m high cliff face for setting up anchors.
Because almost every square metre is utilised, the routes are of widely varying quality.
Popular with top roping beginners who do low quality routes in the 14-17 bracket.
Most of the better climbing is found on grade 20+ routes.
The majority of routes are bolted face climbs. There are
probably over 250 routes graded from 3-26.
Flat lawn awaits your bouldering falls and lighting allows you to climb 24 hours a day.
