Description

These routes are all located on the cliffline just to the west of the new (2013) comms tower.

Approach

Take the last 4WD track on the right about 300m before the main tower. Follow this up to the top of the ridge where you'll find the tower. Talon Block is to the west. The obvious crack/corner with a spiky protrusion at the top is Talon.
