Access
From the Hospital Flat car park, walk east along the fence line for about 350m until you reach the access track for the Tombstone area. Walk uphill about 300m, passing all the big monolith boulders.
Caution! Access the upper routes by either a short, exposed scramble from the left of the crag, or an exposed, direct approach with a rope hand-line for help.
