Access

Access is by boat only. There is no beach and you require a calm day or winds from the north. In a howling southwesterly getting onto the rocks would be fairly treacherous. Nevertheless there are a few places you can pull your small tinny (boat) out of the water and onto the rocks. Crash through the bush to the base of the cliff, 100m from the lake shore. So why bother? Well, this crag is in a fantastic location overlooking the lake and central plateau with some of the best crack lines around.
