Shheesh. Thats a bit harsh mate. Cant resist replying to "controversy"

i found the climbs short,
they are mostly 15- 20 m, about average for most sports routes Id say. The carroted routes are 30 metres.

often contrived
they all go straight up with no really stupid clips..... The lower 5 metres of most of the climbs are intersting, they then tend to overhung dinnerplate hauling. I wouldnt call this contrived.

wrongly graded.
well provide some feedback via thecrag.com or the ACA website or cragX website. There are problems with some grades, but it doesnt make the climb not worthwhile.because it is easier or harder than you were led to believe.

i found it a bit of a waste of time actually.
The climbings not epic but the location and camping experience are pretty nice

it's a pity there aren't many sport climbs under 20 in the mountains for
beginners to learn on.
well go to Nowra or start bolting rather than slag off at other peoples routes
