   <text class="intro" new="false" number="null.">The bouldering here used to be quite good, but in winter 2006, the boulder collapsed. According to Mike Berry, "The entire boulder has dropped around 2-3 feet in the right hand corner. This means that all the routes on the vertical side are now less than vertical and a doddle. Gnarly Spider itself and all the ones on the front are completely different and your bum now drags on the ground. It happened (I think) during the really heavy rains earlier on this year. Anyway ... as a bouldering venue it is now worthless!"
This guide will stay here for historical purposes, but Gnarly Spider probably isn't worth visiting anymore, unless someone gets keen and excavates under the traverse, which will now probably be harder as the angle has changed. The slabs may be ok for beginners.</text>

   <text class="text" new="false">Access to this boulder is the same as for Monkeys Bum Crag. From the East Derwent highway about 5km along from the Bowen Bridge the road crosses a creek just before it sweeps around to the left. Park at the start of Cassidy Rd. Go up the valley, following the north side of the creek. The Gnarly Spider boulder is on the right side of a grassy flat a third of the way along the walk to Monkey's Bum (the climbing crag - see Craglets).</text>
