Description:	The ultimate urban training ground... the climbing is crap and the rock even worse, but we're lucky to have it. Real rock at a reasonable height, right near the heart of the CBD. There are concrete bollards at the top of the cliff for top rope anchors. Taps, BBQ's and toilets close by. Bright lights along the base of the cliff also make night climbing possible. During winter the best time to climb is any old time. During summer unless you're ultra keen avoid climbing from 11:00am until about 3:30pm.
Location:	The cliffs are located right beside the river, just below River Terrace, Kangaroo Point. When it's not busy (during business hours) you can easily park at the base of the cliff. Failing that you can usually find a park up top on River Terrace. The nearest train station is South Bank, which is about a 15 minute walk away. The nearest bus stop is over on Ipswich Road near the traffic lights. The nearest ferries are a 10 minute walk along the river in either direction.
