Approach
10-20 min
From Trackside Buttress (located on the zig-zag track), jump the fence via the stile and head directly downhill to the top of the cliff. Fixed hangers are located here to facilitate abseil or top roping (bring a length of static rope). It is possible to scramble easily to the base of the climbs via either end of the buttress.
Descent notes
Rap from bolts or descend to the base of climbs via either end of the buttress.
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.
