This crag has a good selection of routes, from slabs to wildly overhanging. The rock quality is good, but the cliff is by nature gritty and crumbly in places, with the potential for some big bits to be pulled off. Helmets are recommended.
From the access gate, walk north along the fence line for about 200m, until you reach the crag entrance for Ironside. Then walk uphill about 50m.
