<guide><header id="20" name="Gordons Hill" walk="2 mins" rock="Small sandstone blocks" intro="Another bouldering spot in suburbia worth at least one or two visits with a handful of good sandstone problems is Gordon's Hill Rocks." access="From Lindisfarne take Gordon's Hill Road and turn left onto Kent St. The exact place to park and start walking seems to change all the time, with the ever increasing encroachment of suburbia on the bush. At the time of writing the best place to access the boulders is the right of way at the end of the Avoca St cul de sac, between numbers 27 and 32. From here wander along the bottom fence until you see the boulders up the hill. DO NOT PARK in Avoca St as this has caused complaints from residents. Park further away in Kent St. "/><text class="heading3" id="5">Top Face</text><image src="Gordons Hillgh1.jpg" id="6"/><problem extra="(Stand)" grade="V0" name="       " number="1." stars="       " id="7">Blocky left arete then slopey topout</problem><problem extra="(Stand)" grade="V1" name="       " number="2." stars="       " id="8">Face through large hueco</problem><problem extra="(Stand)" grade="V3" name="       " number="3." stars="*" id="9">Up the blank middle of the top vertical wall, from an undercling to small double pockets to the top.</problem><problem extra="(SDS)" grade="VE" name="       " number="4." stars="       " id="10">Juggy face</problem><text class="heading3" id="11">Main Boulder</text><image src="Gordons Hillgh2.jpg" id="12"/><problem extra="(SDS)" grade="V1" name="No Entry" number="1." stars="       " id="13">Move up from the black cave via jugs to the top.
