접근

Access is by the Sea Level Traverse, or alternatively most people now approach from the Star Factory. Walk along the base of the Star Factory to the last routes and below the Men's Gallery. From the belay bolts used to get up to the Men's Gallery rap down to the slabs below and then make an easy but exposed scramble up the chimney crack, then around the corner to The Gonk.

Statewide ethics

• The operation and use of drones by park visitors on reserved land including national parks is not permitted

• Peregrine Falcons nest from July - December each year. It’s important that climbers don’t climb near active nests during this period. Known sites (non exhaustive) are: Sand River (Far East, The Panopticon), Bare Rock (R of the Boneyard, L of Bisso of Orange), Rocky Cape, Pubic Wall/Duck Reach, Hillwood, Gunners Quoin, Lowdina.

• 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.

The deep water solo. Climb the stunning flake on the west face of the huge boulder, at the southern end of the slabs below the Gonk.

FFA: Nick Hancock, 2003

Provides an easy, but poorly protected, climb to the top of The Gonk. Scramble up L of the long blank wall L of Dumpster, to belay below a short chimney.

  1. Climb the chimney behind the block and continue up the slab above to the scrub. Go slightly R through this to an easy crack leading to a tree belay on the saddle.

  2. Follow the crack above, then slabs up R to a DBB. Abseil off via On the Highway to Hell, double ropes required.

FFA: Nick Hancock & Jake Bresenhan, 2003

On the L side of the long wall L of Dumpster, climb via a desperate boulder problem start via 5 B to DBB.

FA: Ken Palmer Mar 2013

Follow 'Sealevel Traverse' until Flowstone Wall is first seen. This route is the short overhung corner.

  1. 20m. Up corner to a large ledge.

  2. 25m. Follow the flakes to other ledge. Abseil off.

FFA: Kim Carrigan, Mike Law & Greg Child, 1978

Pan-dimensional hyperclassic line and location. Not bad climbing either. The arête right of Dumpster.

  1. 18m 20. Climb the arête to the foot of the corner.

  2. 25m 24. Climb the incipient corner crack on small wires using bridging, layback, steep slab and even crack climbing. When the top of the corner can be reached, step L onto the face to clip the bolt, then tend L to the ledge. A bolt lower down protects the possibility of a hazardous fall over the arête.

FFA: P1, L. Bottomley, G Cooper, T Chappell '91. P2, M & H Jackson '94.

The direct finish to Where in the Stain is Snedn, up the amazing soaring arête.

  1. 20m 20 - As for Where in the Stain is Snedn.

  2. 30m 25 - Climb the incipient corner crack of the original, but instead of traversing off L at the second bolt, continue straight on up the flying arête via 5 more bolts, to a bolt belay where the angle eases.

  3. 30m 22 - Step L and climb the barrelling slab via 4 bolts to an easy runnel leading to a bolt belay at the clifftop. Double ropes are essential to rappel the climb.

FFA: Nick Hancock & Keiran Lawton, 2002

The awesome flake route right of Where in the Stain is Sneden (fully equipped, with DBB).

FFA: Doug McConnell, 2003

Spectacular, steep and sustained. One of the finest routes of this grade and style in Tasmania. (fully equipped). Start 25m right of The Meaning and climb the left trending dyke to DBB above pitch 2 of Highway to Hell.

FFA: Nick Hancock, 2003

Start as for Holly Grail and climb the thin crack to ledge and BB below The Hourglass corner.

FFA: Doug McConnell & Nick Hancock, 2003

At the very top of The Gonk is a spell binding corner. From the top of The Gonk rappel from a double bolt belay onto a ledge which is the top of The Life of Meaning. The crux is well protected by cams and the second half of the route is sparsely protected with small wires and potentially ball nuts if you have them.

FFA: Simon Bischoff, 10월 2018
