Rocky Tom Sobre todo Escalada en tope rope 104 vías en escuela

Access to Rocky Tom requires a ten minute drive and then a 30 minute walk.

NEW ACCCESS: Park at the end of Geilston Creek Road (~ number 85, at a Y intersection where the sealed road ends). Follow the marked walking trail through the reserve, following a mixture of walking tracks and fire trails. As the fire trail sweeps around to the right at a small bridge, a newly formed walking track heads left, up the slope.

Follow this until in hits a fire trail, then push steeply up the hill to a saddle. ~100m further on, turn right and trudge up the hill, following a light track if you’re lucky. At the top of the hill Castle Rock is on your left, Shadow Buttress is on the other side of the hill on your right.

OLD ACCESS: From the city centre, head for the eastern shore via the Tasman Bridge and head for Sorell. Leave the highway 4 km from the bridge at the B33 exit (Mornington, Warrane, etc), turn R toward Flagstaff Gully and park 5 km further on, past the first entrance to the Quarry, at the Flagstaff Gully Reserve, before the entrance to the Quarry proper. Note that the gate at the bottom of the initial hill, by the reservoir (800m from the end of the road), is locked after hours, so it is advisable to park in the area provided just outside the gate. The gate is open: weekdays 6am – 4pm; Sat 6am – 12 pm; Sun closed. The walk has been considered by some to be steep and exhausting, but it is short and along a well defined track. From the car, walk to the end of the bitumen road. Follow the 4wd track (now very rough) which leads down left from behind the tree in the middle of a parking bay. This soon crosses a creek and then heads uphill. After ascending for about ten minutes, the track veers R and a walking track heads up to the L. Follow this for 200m up to Shadow Buttress. The buttresses and climbs are described in the conventional L-to-R ordering. Note that the track first approaches Shadow Buttress, then crosses the hill to Hanging Buttress, before swinging east past the rest of Castle Wall, Square Buttress and White Stump. The Bastille and Lone Tower are approached from Shadow Buttress by deviating from the normal track.
