It's given the name to keep you away, it's actually ok.

Access Issues: inherited from Grampians

National Park

Approach:© (nmonteith)

Above 'Slander Gully' and 'Curiosity Crag'.

Coming up from 'Slander Gully', the first thing you come to is a compact wall going back up the hill. The descent gully is at the upper end of this wall. The main prow is undercut by a large overhang which is also the bivvy cave. The first route starts just left of the cave.
