Einschränk. übernommen von The Shady Side

Most climbs are equipped with their own DBB, which is the preferred method of descent to avoid raining terror down on to the tourist track. If scrambling around, please take extra care to avoid kicking down loose rock and other debris.

Climbing straight off the Tourist Track should be looked at as a privilege and not a right. Access could very easily be taken away. Please be good custodians for our sport by leaving enough space for walkers when belaying, and if bouldering - have a spotter manage your mats &/or keep them well off the main path. Preferably brush your holds of chalk once finished to maintain natural aesthetics, and for other climbers who follow.

Zustieg

Best accessed from above. Park somewhere in Trevallyn where you can access the fire trail that runs along the top of the gorge. Near its highest point, where a partly buried metal pipeline passes under the trail - drop straight down the hill to the top of the cliff. Rap from tree to access chains.

Access from below is off the tourist track. Locate an old fenced off lookout, and scramble up the hillside - veering slightly R. This access is steep and not really recommended. Please be careful not to kick rocks and crap down on the unsuspecting tourists below.

Other

• 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.

Access to the top of the cliff: park on the corner of South Esk Rd and Bain terrace. Walk up the fire trail, which takes a left turn. Follow the trail for about 500m, until you see a pipeline to your right, pointing downhill. There will be a cairn to the left. Go downhill and follow the cairned path to the top of the cliff. Use the tree to rap/scramble down to the DBB.

One of the best in the gorge. An incipient crack on the left offers good protection.
