Hey, I grew up down there, and still spend a fair bit of time around tilba. Umm.... little drom...... there would be some potential there..... have heard of guys absqueeling off there - perhaps there may be some bolts floating around up there. Keep in mind the actual cliff face is much smaller than the whole outcrop - bit less impressive than first glance from the highway hahaha Acess is across private land -if you go from the highway the farm owner lives opposite the tilba-tilba turnoff. Access from round the back is a bit more complicated............

Out along ridge road about 2 clicks from tilba you can see the BIG lump of granite that is called seamark. Access is across farmland - Owners live at the MASSIVE dam. Have a chat to them, they are pretty cool, just dont be a knob - leave gates and pretty much everything as you found it. Not sure what would be out there - used to go there as a kid, lots of slabby stuff - couple of real wide chimney offwidth things too from memory.......

There are a few boulders near the watertank at tilba, up on the hill, and also the quarry just as you leave town. Could be a fun little playgound......... though Im not sure exactly who owns it....

The granite here is really crystally though - you would loose alot of skin. But think of the friction hahaha

Some fun deepish water soloing on the cliffs below the mystery bay campground. Some REAL sweet jumprocks too hahaha

Now i dont want to give too much away here on a public forum........ but there is one place on in the area that has got some pretty special rocks - if you know of them you will know what im on about - DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT CLIMBING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you get spotted by anyone.......... well....... you have been warned. It is NOT a climbing area!
