    Never heard of any routes up there, if anyone would know it would be Bob McMahon. The Western Tiers always had the reputation of being low angle, chossy, and shitty approaches. But its all probably worth another look in the age of sport climbing and bouldering - i.e. Gerry's new cliff at Cluan Tiers.
    There's bands of sandstone all through there as well as the dolerite. I wonder if there's any decent bouldering?

      Thanks Jon, ease of access is the main problem. There looks to be some excellent but serious routes in the area. Hopefully i can shed further light on the prospects soon when i get back up there.

      In regard to the sandstone belt, from memory there is a very prominent belt on some farmland near Jackeys Marsh or at least south of there. You would have to get permission from landowner/s as it looks like it is on private property or you would have to cross private property in any case. The cliff looks to be quite substantial, at least in height anyway.

      Regards,

    See Attached,

    Has anyone checked out Liffy bluff? I've been thinking about making a visit up there to check it out but haven't gotten around to it. I have only seen it from the road, my memory is of overhanging dollerite.

      It certainly looks good on the map and from a distance.

      Let me know if you get there.

    Speaking of the very rough general area, there must be some exposed limestone somewhere at Mole Creek? Cave entrances?

      There looks to be a sizeable chunk in the vicinity of Croesus cave on the upper reaches of the Mersey river. You can see it from the lookout across Echo Valley. Looks to be a reasonable cliff just above the river.
