Area description

Bombo Quarry is a basalt climbing area within the Bombo Headland Quarry Geological Site, a short walk from Bombo beach, Kiama. Climbing is mostly trad, with several bolted sport routes available. Many established bouldering routes are also available (not in this guide). ⚠️ Given that the crag receives low traffic, and is within a coastal area, exercise caution on all routes by checking bolts, gear and top outs and wearing helmets.
