Only been to Speedy's once a about 4 years back. Had a few good overhung routes but most of it was nails on the fingers. Bloody coral or something. Taping up al exposed skin pads (and having it ripped off as a matter of course) for non-jamming is mayhem.

Just curious as one of the routes looked slightly similar. For my money, I reckon the Northern Apostles was one of the best for bouldering. Some decent climbing in there too though some of the other places have prettier rock and water to swim in...

For those that are looking for info on climbing in the NT there is a guide to NT (ie not including Alice Springs) climbing on Chockstone:

That is a pretty good start for climbing though it sounds like you might be able hook up with climbing NT types (for the local knowledge...).
