Armidale Climbing

The Uncarved Block factory is located in Armidale, in the New England area of northern NSW, an hour north of Tamworth and an hour south of Glen Innes.  There is a lifetime of granite climbing that has been developed within an hours drive of Armidale and there is still a few lifetimes more climbing to be developed and or discovered.
