Description
This section covers the multiple buttresses on the southern (sunny side) of the gorge from the Duck Reach Swing bridge upstream to Ramona Buttress. This area arguably has the highest concentration of easily accessible, high quality routes in the gorge.
These areas are also covered in McMahon and Narkowicz's South Esk guidebook.

Ethic inherited from Tasmania
The operation and use of drones by park visitors on reserved land including national parks is not permitted.
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.
