<guide> <text class="heading1" new="false" id="1">Other Eastern Crags</text> <text class="text" new="false" id="2">This section contains information about other crags in the East of Tasmania for which we do not have full guides for.</text> <text class="heading2" new="false" id="3">Orford</text> <text class="text" new="false" id="4">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.</text> <text id="37" class="heading2">Bay of Fires - Binalong Bay</text> <text id="42" class="text">There are a few smaller climbs on the excellent granite of this area.</text> <climb id="38" stars="" extra="" number="" name="Ashley Big Fat Crack" length="7m" grade="18" fa="Ashley Mason, 1990's">South of Binalong Bay in Humbug Point Reserve at Grants Point. Go past a massive Australia shaped boulder, that you can just squeeze under if you are that way inclined, to a large buttress facing out to sea, with a wide crack, climb this crack. GDA 0611976 5432247.</climb> <climb id="41" stars="" extra="" number="" name="Gorky's Zygotic Mynchki" length="7m" grade="18" fa="Nick & Heather Hancock, 2007.">200 m south of Grants Point is a collection of boulders half in the sea. At the northern end of these and back a bit from the sea, climb a north facing vertical seam to a horizontal, then a difficult bulge to finish. GDA 0612082 5432057.</climb> <climb id="39" stars="" extra="" number="" name="If Fingers Were Xylophones" length="7m" grade="22" fa="Nick & Heather Hancock, 2006.">At Skeleton Point climb the south east facing short finger crack over the bulge.

">Just south of the turn off for Sloop Rock, head down to the coast at the sign, Gardens 6. On a massive orange rock half in the sea. Abseil or scramble down to the seawashed north end and climb the lovely slab past 2 glued carrots. Mind numbingly thin for the grade! GDA 0607672 5436423.</climb> <text class="heading2" new="false" id="8">South Mt Cameron</text> <text class="text" new="false" id="9">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.</text> </guide> |
