Introduction
Red Hills bouldering is a new area just off the Anthony Link Road north of Lake Plimsol. Discovered by Adam Donoghue and his kids Ella and Jarrah in late 2022 development has only just started here but there is potential for plenty more. Freestanding boulders are spread up this valley so there is plenty to go for and it is very conveniently located off the highway.
History
Adam discoverd these boulders recently. Initial development only so far but looking forward to much more to come.
Access
There is a short side road with a gate about 3 km north of the Lake Plimsol boatramp on the west side of the Anthony Link Road. If coming from the south the side-road is 23.6 km from the intersection where the Anthony Link Road (B28) leaves the Zeehan Highway (A10). Park here, walk through the gate and then continue across the creek and up the obvious valley to the north. The Gorilla Villa boulder will be hard to miss.
Camping
Some pretty good bandit camping down by the boatramp.

Gorilla Villa
Start on the jugs at the left of the main wall and move up to the two good holds on the first rail. From here just tack up and over the arete as best you can. Best warm-up here and good fun.

Some tough moves between the breaks lead to a congealed conglomerate jug and from here it will scary to the top.
Project
Up to the right of the crack avoiding using it to top out up a groove.
