Description

A small and fun boulder directly next to "Dorito Boulder"

Access issues

We are climbing on Darkinjung land. Take your rubbish with you and respect the rules of the 2020 management plan.

Climbing is permitted under the 2020 plan of management. It is imperative climbers adhere to a code of conduct. Groups of more than eight people need a permit from the NPWS. https://acansw.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/code-of-conduct-2019.pdf

Approach

Head up Hawkes Head Drive, the sealed road turns into a bumpy sandy road. Drive past the first, second and third parking area (clear areas on side of road) and park on the side of the road near the corner of where the location marker is. Now walk off the road at the corner and head down the levels of rock until you reach a large flat rocky area. Head down the side of this and you will be at the base of "Chocolate Bloc"

Now keep walking to the left of "Chocolate Bloc" and past "The Wedding Cake" until you reach a new little area on the bottom of a small cliff where you will find both both "The Dumpling" and "Dorito Boulder"

(If you cant drive your car over the bumps, park at the end of a sealed road and walk up)
