I will happily admit to being a Trad' rat but sometimes a change can be nice. Maybe retreating from Coral Seas in a full on thunder storm a while back wasn't so great, although it was memorable but some recent trips to Horseshoe have been good.
The current highlight of the trip tends to be newt watching but the climbing is good too. Plenty on main wall to go at, some esoteric multi-pitch over by Barney Rubble (aptly named, you've been warned) and even a family friendly beginners area up in the top quarry.
Enterprise Wall is a good place to make the transition from climbing wall to rock sport. At 6m or so the climbs are probably going to feel hard for the grade, especially compared to the wall. But with 3 clips to a lower off on a slightly less than vertical wall, what a great place to learn the tricks of the trade.
