Access
From the Diamond Lake car park, walk the Rocky Mountain track to the first sharp bend. Head straight up a grassy hill and on to the ridge, then left towards the small rock buttress and up a gully, crossing a fence. From the top of the gully, cross a second fence and stay on the ridge heading for the right side of the cliff. Enter bush below the cliff just above a small swamp.
