Summary
Dolerite
One of the iconic climbing areas in Australia. Vertical dolerite columns with up to 120m in height!
Description
East
Climbing the Organ Pipes is a serious adventure! Occasional loose rock, complex route finding and a sense of exposure heightened by the kilometre drop down to sea level all contribute to a wilderness adventure. As Phil Robinson once said: "In terms of mileage of routes, skinned knuckles, expenditure of effort and annual traffic, the Organ Pipes is the major focus of climbing activity in Tasmania."

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.
