About Blue Mountains — Mount York

Mount York is a peninsula of sandstone cliffs above the Hartley Valley near Mount Victoria, with many short crags along Mount York Road, mostly trad with some sport, and free council camping. Because the peninsula juts out, it has a sunny side and a shady side, so you can pick your conditions in any season, and the exposed position means it dries well in the wind. The area was burnt in the 2019–20 bushfires and reopened in 2021; take care with loose rock and fire-damaged trees. Wait at least 24 hours after rain on the soft sandstone.

Region: Blue Mountains
Rock type: Sydney Basin sandstone
Aspect: mixed-facing
Altitude: 950m
Exposure: high
Seepage: low
