A varied set of climbs moving right from the "camping caves" on the eastern side of 'The Fortress' block.
While some of the climbs are good and the setting is fantastic, there is a liberal selection of "Campbell Mercer Specials".
Full descriptions of most climbs are not given as the area needs to be revisited and sorted out. However, the relative locations of climbs are here.

Approach from the 'Victoria Range' Road. FRom the end of the old 4WD track follow the walking track steeply uphill to the caves. These are not a good campsite as there is no water.
