Flinders Island
| |||||||
Introduction | Mt Killiekrankie is a large granite crag on Flinders Island in Bass Strait that has more than 200 climbs on excellent rock. It has mainly been developed by Victorian climbers. The rock and climbing is superb. The new guidebook should bring more visitors and development. | ||||||
Access | On the north east coast of Flinders Island, which is in the middle of Bass Strait. There are flights from both Launceston and Melbourne that arrive in Whitemark on Flinders Island. You can hire a car on the Island (expensive) or try and get a ride up to Killiekrankie. There's a new road that comes into the north of the cliffs, and its about a half hours walk from the end of the road along the shore. The cliff is set back about 400m from the coast.
Camp at the shore below the middle of the cliff, with water from soaks. |
Guide | Climb Northern Tasmania by Bob McMahon and Gerry Narkowicz contains a comprehensive guide to the island, including both Killiekrankie and the other crags on the island. |
