A great large boulder sitting proud at the very top of the valley. A great location to climb with views of Frenchmans Cap and the lighthouse at Strahan on a good day. A good range of problems with good rock and a nice angle.
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.
Head straight up the hill behind High noon for a few hundred meters. If you come straight from the car to here it feels like a long way, over an hours walk.
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.
Rock climbers please contact the Crag Steward (westbouldering@climbersclubtas.org.au) if you have any queries or concerns regarding social or environmental impacts of rock climbing at this crag.
