About Poolside Crag:

The name says it all: A small, north-facing crag several minutes past 'Crowbar Crag' that belays directly beside the creek. The rock here is quite slick down low due to water-polishing and wear 'n' tear from 15 years of use. However, several metres up, the rock changes to a very grippy limestone that provides excellent purchase. The routes here are fairly short, but all are of good quality. Even on hot days, it is highly recommended to bring something warm to wear as the lack of sun and cool breezes can make it feel very cold, very quickly.
