Fixed Gear: Sharp old bolt next to fifth U bolt on Dildo Gaggins which has the potential to snap a rope.

Left of the 5th U bolt on DG there is a sharp single bolt protruding with a sharp nut like thing on the end. When working the Moves above it with no bolts above 5th clipped, if you fall the rope can wrap around the old bolt and tear it apart and potentially even snap it. Will post a photo of what it can do as it just nearly snapped my rope.

  • The operation and use of drones by park visitors on reserved land including national parks is not permitted​

  • Peregrine Falcons nest from July - December each year. It’s important that climbers don’t climb near active nests during this period. Known sites (non exhaustive) are: Sand River (Far East, The Panopticon), Bare Rock (R of the Boneyard, L of Bisso of Orange), Rocky Cape, Pubic Wall/Duck Reach, Hillwood, Gunners Quoin, Lowdina.

  • Please note that Tasmania has notoriously patchy phone reception for particular service providers. Telstra is the most reliable. An emergency Personal Locator Beacon or similar is recommended kit when climbing in remote locations.
