Chris and Suzie had been camping at Mt York and they invited Chuin Nee, John (and their baby, Jasper) and me to join them for some climbing nearby at the Land of the Giants crag, which is located close to Bardens Lookout.
It was a hot sunny day – but the crag was shady in the morning. In a small alcove at the crag is a topo and route descriptions. It is a fully developed spots crag.
I wasn’t able to get too many photos of the climbs there as I was either climbing or belaying, while Joh and Chuin Nee took turns to entertain Jasper.

Sun hit the crag around 2pm and it suddenly got too hot to climb. We retreated back to Mt York and the shade of the campsite. Around 6pm it started to cool off a bit – so we went to top rope one of the classic climbs at Mt York – “Aunty Jack” (19). We didn’t have much trad gear to lead it. Chuin Nee, Chris and John climbed the route while I took up a good vantage point and took photos.
More photos the names of the climbs are on my website here.
