Description

Further up the road sits many formations with a handful of standout routes. All areas can be accessed by taking a main, albeit faint, foot path with occasional rocks framing the way. This path takes the most gradual incline to each formation. Check the photo map for easy access to/from Horizon Slab via the access gully.

Getting There

Beyond the Checkpoint Crags' climbing, continue up the road, beyond those formations, find the Sharon, and hit the small switch back to follow natural breaks and occasional rock-framed trail to desired formation, using map for reference.
