Descrizione

This outcrop lies on the hillside between the North Jawbones and the Gorge and is easily seen when walking in to the later. The buttress is about 40m high but the climbing potential is limited, despite its impressive appearance. The rock is not the best here and the routes fairly insignificant, although there are a few quite hard problems still to be done. All the climbs were done some years ago by the usual farty school boys. Who did what is now almost forgotten.

Avvicinamento

As for the gorge until opposite the crag (about 450m from the car). It has a prominent set of overhangs at about one third height. Head down the hillside, cross the creek and trodge directly uphill to the base. Takes upwards of 30 mins. be prepared for prickly bush.
