  <header name="Township Creek" id="1" walk="" sun="Mostly Sunny" rock="Dolerite Crags" acknowledgement="By Gerry Narkowicz" intro="The crags of Township Creek lie in a deep gorge in the valley immediately to the east of Bare Rock at Fingal. The cliffs were discovered by Robert McMahon and Gerry Narkowicz in September 1984, and several trips were made resulting in 25 trad routes on 3 different crags. For descriptions of all the routes from the 80’s, see  the Climb Northern Tasmania guide by McMahon and Narkowicz. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thirty years later in September of 2014, Gerry Narkowicz along with Ingvar Lidman and Andrew Martin, made another trip to the area and cast a fresh eye over the cliffs for sport climbing potential. The result has been 22 additional routes, mostly superb bolted faces and aretes. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The landscape in the area is breathtaking with the crags situated on the summit of the hill above a gorge with a lovely creek and its wide aprons of smooth water washed rock, swimming holes and waterfalls. Access is a 15 minute flat walk from the carpark. The gravel road is accessible to all vehicles, however care should be taken over the last 3km as the road becomes a bit rockier. As a guide, Ingvar’s matchbox car, a Hyundai Getz, makes it all the way, with some careful nursing over a small ditch at a creek crossing near the cliff. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;" history="" access="You need a gate key to access from Avoca, as the area is used by forestry. If the gates are unlocked on the way in, there is no guarantee that they will be open on the way out and several people have been locked in. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;From Avoca it is 51km, allow 55 mins to drive. Turn right at Avoca and go 18km to Royal George.&lt;br/&gt;From Royal George, keep going 3km to Merrywood Rd turnoff on the left. From here it is 30 km to the cliff. Turn left into Merrywood rd and after 3.3km turn left onto road signposted T.P.F.H private road, St Pauls Rd. This road eventually goes up the hill, follow what appears to be the main road at intersections (2 sharp right turns). There is a locked gate after 6km (open and shut it after – we have permission to access) then another locked gate after 1km. After the 2nd gate follow the main rd (Mt Foster Rd) for 14.5km along the top of the range. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;After 14.5km, turn left up a hill at a Y intersection (tag on tree and cairn) and follow this for 4.6 km to a clear felled logging coupe where a large cairn and tags on the left hand side mark where to park the car. There is the remains of an old campfire just off the road at this spot. 800m before the car park is a concrete ford over a creek, and just before the creek is a good campsite on the right. Drive slowly across the ford being wary of a ditch on the other side. From the car park, you can see a forest at the northern end of the coupe which has been spared by the Gunns arseholes. Walk in a northerly direction through the coupe on a vague vehicle track to locate tags marking the path to the crag. &lt;br/&gt;" camping="" autonumber="true"/>
  <text id="2" class="heading2">Waterfall Buttress</text>
  <text id="3">An adventurous day out with a great climb in a glorious landscape. Access via a 40 minute rock hop down the creek from the campsite. Straightforward approach, though depending on water levels in the creek, you may have to wade a few shallow pools. On the left of the creek beside a waterfall is a magnificent large buttress.</text>
  <climb name="My Back Pages " length="30m" grade="21" stars="***" fa="Gerry Narkowicz and Andrew Martin. 6/11/16" id="4" number="1." extra="">The prominent corner of the buttress with a terrific finger crack. Lovely fingerlocking on smooth rock with some footholds for respite. Belay on ledge, then scramble (stay roped up) across flake to the right and downclimb small pinnacle. Abseil from tree near the edge.</climb>
  <text id="5" class="heading2">The Necropolis</text>
  <text id="6">About 10 minutes into the approach walk from the road are some cairns which head off to the left. These lead to a large buttress on the rim of the gorge. A small tree with a pink tag on it marks the top of the cliff. Abseil to the routes from 2 bolts near the edge. Another bolt exists just over the edge if you want to short fix the rope to avoid rubbing on the edge. Fix the line as there is no way out from this cliff other than to climb.</text>
  <climb name="The Golden Necropolis " length="30m" grade="26" stars="**" fa="Ingvar Lidman. October 2014" id="7" number="2." extra="Þ">The line of bolts up the face to the R of the big jam crack.

A fine climb. Sustained jamming varying from fingers to fists, with a definite crux about half way up where the crack fuses, forcing the climber onto the face for a couple of moves.</climb>

A superb and varied climb with 3 distinct sections; technical face climbing (crux), a substantial roof and a spectacular knife edge arête to finish. 16 bolts.</climb>
  <text id="10" class="heading2">Township Crag</text>
  <text id="11">About 15 minutes walk on the pink tagged track takes you close to an open cliff edge and spectacular views down the gorge towards Fingal. Below is the neat main amphitheatre of Township Crag, first climbed on in 1984 by Narkowicz and McMahon. Rap to the climbs from bolts on the edge.</text>

  <climb name="Troubles " length="15m" grade="17" stars="" fa="Robert McMahon and Gerry Narkowicz, Mick Ling. 30/9/84" id="71" number="5280." extra="">A short distance to the L of Amundsen. A wide crack up a face leaning back a little off the vertical. At the half way point you can go either up the L or R crack. On the first ascent Bob wrote: I take the right, a hand crack. With only a couple of moves to go to the top the whole left edge of the crack in the form of an 8ft long tooth of rock begins to detach itself with me attached to it. It is the most fearful moment of my climbing in the last 10 years. I keep the detached tooth in place and at the same time back climb removing the 3.5 friend in the crack. Everything just hangs together. Both Gerry and I would have gone. I switch to the L-hand variant and tremble to the top.</climb>

Takes in a right slanting diagonal crack and starts in a rectangular box corner with a small roof at 3m. Some exciting moves going past the roof.</climb>
