Hi hero
Just found this thread. Yes, there are one or two people still climbing around the Northern Tablelands and yes access has always been an issue. I'm just getting back into it after a 12 year layoff and knee surgery.
Anyone wanting to climb in the area should perhaps contact the UNE climbing club.
