Essential crag checks
Access, closures, permits & safety
From Booroomba Rocks carpark, the public track climbs toward the top of the rocks. CCA allows about 30 minutes uphill to top camp, followed by more walking to the crag bases. The signed lookout walk is 2.5 km return; climbing access takes additional planning.
Booroomba Rocks carpark is the start for the 2.5 km return lookout walk. An alternative walk from Honeysuckle Campground to the carpark adds 9 km return.
ACT Parks lists the Booroomba track open. CCA’s 27 September 2026 update reports Booroomba Rocks Road reopened on 25 September after delayed maintenance. Check ACT Parks alerts for new closures before travel.

About this crag
Canberra Climbers’ Association describes an uphill walk to top camp followed by further access to the cliff bases. It suits independent climbers with their own trad equipment; the public lookout walk is not a substitute for a climbing approach or descent plan.
Recommended equipment
Bring equipment appropriate to the climbing style and local conditions. A helmet is strongly recommended.
