Area description

Boars Head, part of the wider Rhum Dhu cliff line, hosts several classic multi-pitch routes with a novel abseil approach through a giant slot feature.

Access notes

Paid parking due to its proximity to Cahill Lookout (high tourist traffic area). Both the slot abseil and Shandy are popular guiding routes; be respectful of any guided tour groups and understanding of any potential delays to access the slot abseil.
