This past weekend I was urban cragging at Kangaroo Point in Brisbane. Brisbane is Queensland's biggest city and on my first visit to the city I discovered it has a great climbing area right in the city limits. So on my second visit to the city I brought along a rope and some draws (maybe a couple of cams or stoppers would have been nice as well). The crag is located at Kangaroo Point and the 15 meter high cliffs along the Brisbane River is in clear view of about a million office workers who occupy the skyscrapers just across the way.
On the warm winters weekend Melanie and I visited the crag it was like opening day of a salmon run.
climbers were shoulder to shoulder spinning out line to the climbers on the wall. We chatted to a bunch of local climbers and found them all to be friendly and informative. We even had a couple of climbers check back in with us to see how our day at Kangaroo Point was progressing.
After finishing our last pitch of climbing we joined friends at the base of the cliffs to enjoy a picnic, beers and the most popular activity at Kangaroo Point watching the rock climbers.
