Other Eastern Crags

Other Eastern Crags

This section contains information about other crags in the East of Tasmania for which we do not have full guides for.

Orford

Paradise Gorge at Orford has a number of established routes, but we don't have any details. Its surprising it hasn't been developed more as its only an hour from Hobart and extremely obvious. There are a number of short (10m or so) buttresses - next to the road, near the weir, and on the opposite side of the river. The most obvious buttress on the south side of the road has a couple of OK cracks and a hard face route with a carrot or two (or was it a piton?). Be very careful climbing near the highway - as there are plenty of loose rocks waiting to land on cars below.

Red Rock Point

There is a little bolted granite crag at Red Rock Point, which is about half an hour north of Bicheno. There are about half a dozen bolted routes here, but I have no details of the routes, or who developed them. Traveling north, go a couple of km past the Little Beach turn off until you see a fancy gate on the right with "Red Rock Point" on it. Go past this until the fence finishes, and turn right onto a 4WD track. Follow this down to a dam, and take the track down to the coast. The main crag is just to the south, and there is another route on a little pinnacle 100m or so north. The main crag is shown below.

South Mt Cameron

South Mount Cameron, along the (B82) road off the Tasman Hwy, between Derby and Weldborough, has quite a bit of coarse grained granite. There are some reasonable sized faces, but no known routes. You could be the first.
