Boar’s Head Shandy is the perfect trip for adventurous climbers of all levels looking to experience the dramatic landscapes, vertical exposure, and classic rock climbing the Blue Mountains are famous for — all in one incredible outing.
We’ll meet at our Blackheath office to prepare your climbing gear, pack your lunch, and provide a briefing on the day’s plan. From here, it’s a short 15-minute drive to Boar’s Head, where the adventure begins.
The journey begins with a short walk to Boar’s head. The descent starts with an abseil into a deep gully. You then scramble down and traverse into a jaw-dropping, bottomless chimney. From here, you’ll abseil three more pitches inside the vast chasm of the Boar’s Head formation — a truly unique experience. After a short but exposed walk along a ledge system, we reach the base of the climb.
The climb begins on a ledge high above the valley floor and starts with two exposed but accessible pitches (grade 7), followed by a striking traverse across a big ledge. From here we hike up to the exit and finish with a scramble over Mushroom Rock, popping out on top with unforgettable views and a huge sense of achievement.
