Description

This is the closest area to the road and the start of the boulder field. There is an obvious cave at the lake end and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly boulder is obvious towards the mine.

Access issues inherited from Mt Lyell

This is an alpine area so follow all leave no trace principals, keep cleaning and clearing to a minimum and when possible toilet before or after climbing or follow the Tyndalls guideline. Please keep an extra eye out for King Billy pines and other native Tasmanian trees.

Approach

From the creek crossing head up and slightly in the direction of the mine until you reach GBU, the rest of this area is then heading towards the lake.

Ethic inherited from Mt Lyell

Cleaning of loose or dangerous rock is essential here and some of that requires a bit of force and maneuvering but please avoid chipping or comforting of holds.
