Questões de acesso herdado de Kaputar

The road is suitable for 2WD vehicles but is steep, narrow and winding with part of the road gravel.

The area is a biodiversity hotspot with much endangered or rare flora and fauna. Do not alter habitat. The “ snow daisy” Coronidium kaputaricum grows in cracks at altitude and must not be damaged.

Acesso

Park at the West Kaputar Rocks lookout, and roughly 5-10 min walk to base, or the top to rap down.

Ética

Kaputar is first and foremost a Trad climbing area, although in recent years some controversial bolting has occurred. Climbing on natural gear is always preferred, however the addition of bolted lower offs on more popular climbs is convenient.
