Summary

A cluster of several large boulders with some burly and cool lines on the other side of the river, just 200m upstream of Mr T Boulder.

Description

Across the river from The Secret Garden

Access issues

Accessible only when the river water level is low enough. Cross the river at the Mr T Boulder. Water levels rise quickly due to Hydro Station discharge, so keep and eye on it. When it starts to rise, cross back over. Usually a Sunday morning crag as that's the usual low level time of the week.

Approach

Access as for Mr T Boulder then cross the river just upstream of the boulder. Walk upstream to obvious big cluster. Access is dependant on river levels and the best time is Sunday mornings due to the lower levels, keep an eye on any changes in water level.

Ethic inherited from Barron Gorge

Brush holds, respect veg, wildlife, and the rock as much as possible. Take all that goes with you back out of the gorge inc. fruit scraps. Please also take any rubbish you find.
