UPDATE: Cancelled until further notice.

The Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service is hosting a feedback session on the latest draft PWS Rock Climbing Policy for CCT members: Wednesday 3rd June, 5-6pm at Lands Building (134 Macquarie Street, Hobart)

This policy mostly relates to the placement of fixed anchors on PWS managed lands. The revised PWS draft has already been sent via email to all CCT members (including legacy thesarvo members). Send us an email if you want a copy.

Important: Please arrive by 4.50pm sharp. Front doors will be locked at 5pm and later arrivals can not be accommodated. Online attendance is available, see comments below for link.

Weather permitting, Hydro Tasmania will undertake burns in Poatina starting May 4. The burns will temporarily affect access to Blackwood Rocks and the nearby bouldering during this period.

The burn is a low intensity fuel reduction burn, and is unlikely to affect climbing anchors mounted in rock. Regardless, climbers in the area post-burn should inspect the integrity of anchors before use, and report any concerns to the CCT or the relevant crag stewards.

North Esk - Riverbend and Crystal Palace closed to climbing June 1st - October 31st.

These crags are situated on private property and are closed annually during this period for the lambing season. There are no exceptions to this rule. Please climb elsewhere during this period, so as a community we can maintain good relations with the property owner and help secure climbing access into the future.
