Resumen

Closest crag to Devonport with a mix of grades, well suited to top roping and trad with several bolted routes. Specific routes can be found in Climb Northern Tasmania by McMahon and Narkowicz

Descripción

Conglomerate walls mostly trad with DBB most with chains. Loose rocks and concerning flakes should be expected as such helmets are a smart choice.

Restricciones

Located on state forest in areas with extensive walking and mountain biking development with the area almost unknown to the locals outside of the climbing world

Acceso

5-10 min

Park under the powerlines at the Morgan skyline trailhead. Walk up the access road to tower before heading south into the trees, follow the eastmost trail following the crest along the clearly marked trail. The orange triangles mark the location of tops of climbs, except for the second orange triangle next to a small cairn marks the best decent gully
