Alicedale | Bouldering
Please note that the location given on this site is just in the town Alicedale. Rather make contact with local boulderers & go to there with them. They will be happy to show you arround.
Alicedale has 918 recorded boulder problems. There is still plenty of potential for new problems. Lots of hard highballs & projects waiting to be opened.
Geoff Howarth, 6C Day & Candy Cave
Nic Telford, Fat Fanny Freedom
Quartzite-sandstone boulders set on a relatively bushy hill with a huge variety of problems of all grades. Reasonably easy & short walk-ins.
There are fantastic bushman rock paintings hidden among the boulders. Please take care to not disturb them.
