Gold Strike

Type

Gold Strike is another large limestone outcrop on the other side of Mt Owen to Fyfe River Gorge. The approach is far less than the FRG, meaning there is no 'tramping' required to gain access to the crags. It has an abundance of tufas and flowstones and sports some of the best moderate limestone climbing in the country.
