There are quite a few good problems in the Gorge at Launceston. Gerry Narkowicz recently identified around sixty problems that start straight off the tourist track on the shady side of the Gorge. The problems described here are based on the list in the back of the Cataract guide. On the other side of the river less than a minute along the zig zag track on the sunny side of the gorge there is a semi circular group of boulders. There are around half a dozen vertical and traverse problems here.
