This section describes the scattered buttresses located on the Trevallyn Reserve side of the South Esk River, downstream from the dam - and those on the opposite bank best accessed from Hoo Hoo Hut, extending as far downstream as Ramona Buttress at Duck Reach. These crags are described in McMahon and Narkowicz's 'South Esk Climbing'.
