A crag developed by Dave Barnes and friends in the 90’s. Sharp Brittle Mudstone that yeilds a handfull of worthwhile routes. A few bolted, mostly trad. See Thesarvo for more information.
Difficult, uneven off trail approach
Begin walk from fire trail gate opposite north Warrane oval on flagstaff gully Rd (parking in oval car park may be best). Cliff face can be sighted from here. Follow fire train towards cliff face until it ends, continue to follow gully until it ends at large eucalypt, follow arrow drawn on rock pointing to the left. From here you are own your own, bush bashing through scrub and chest high bracken, be careful of ankles. Is also possible to approach from top via different fire road.
Campfires remnants and caves/overhangs abound on this face. Use pre existing fireplaces if camping out here, offers good views of Hobart and the Derwent river. Great for multi day climbing adventures as is very rarely visited and has a long, tiring approach.
Use existing fireplaces, clean up after yourself (and some local yobbos who like to leave pre-mix cans around)
