The Fortress
We went climbing last weekend at The Fortress, a small granite crag on Corin Road, in the Australian Capital Territory. This is a classic granite tor that has a nice variety of interesting, though small, climbs.

We were interested in the crack climbs, and ended up climbing Sentry Duty (15).

The Sentry Duty crack lays off to the left, leading to a 'sentry box' ledge just past half way. This allows you to get some good protection in before you lead up out of the sentry box, which is the crux. There is a big juggy hold just up to the left as you come up out of the sentry box, then onto the top is easy.

The Fortress is a great place to climb on Summer mornings, and looks like it will be great for warmer winter afternoons. The access is also fantastic, as you can drive up a forestry road right to the crag.
