<header id="1" name="Fortescue Bay" autonumber="true" camping="Pleasant and well-equipped campsites exist right next to the beach at Fortescue Bay. There are toilets, cooking facilities and water, including showers (paid). For tent camping, the Banksia campground next to the beach is very good, with car and caravan camping available at the boat ramp further up the road. Camping is about $10 a night and you should book ahead with Parks in summer as it gets quite busy here, especially on weekends.<br/><br/>If you're heading out to climb at the Moai, Golden Pillar or Bivouac Bay Crag, consider camping at Bivouac Bay. There are good tent platforms, running water (creek) and a toilet, all in a secluded setting only 10-15 minutes from the climbs - the walk into the campsite is ~1 hour each way along an easy formed track. Camping here is also free.<br/><br/>Make sure to buy a valid Parks Pass." walk="Up to 1.5 hours" sun="Mixed sun and shade" rock="Coastal dolerite columns, pinnacles and sea-cliffs" intro="There are many cliffs around Fortescue Bay, with the prime attraction in the area the triptych of dolerite spires; the Moai, the Candlestick, and the Totem Pole. Each is totally different from the other two, but they all possess an adventure-climbing flavour that adds to the appeal. These summits have retained an exclusiveness which is rare given the current popularity of rock-climbing, and a trip to any one of them is not just another day at the crags - but it is a day you will surely remember for a long time to come. Speaking of crags, the Canoe Bay, Sunny Gym and Bivouac Bay crags provide an excellent day out for those wanting a more relaxed experience." history="" acknowledgement="Original guide by Roger Parkyn, published in Craglets.

From the city, head to Sorell and take the Arthur Highway towards Port Arthur. The turn-off for Fortescue Bay is on the left, about 3km past Taranna and 4km before Port Arthur. From here there's about 12km of unsealed Forestry road to Fortescue Bay. All up, about 100km from the city centre. As with most roads in Tasmania, be careful of wildlife from dusk to dawn, as they seem to enjoy jumping into the middle of the road at unsuitable times. All of the spires and routes can be done in a day from Hobart. Choose a day when the swell forecast is low - information is available by checking the Bureau of Meteorology's website at: http://www.bom.gov.au/tas/index.shtml"/>
<text id="284" class="heading2">Safety</text>
<text id="285" class="text">It is worth noting there have been a increasing number of rescues and accidents involving climbers in the modern era, some of which involved inexperience as a factor, so it is important to factor in the exposed and inaccessible nature of all the spires in particular, which makes self-rescue much more difficult. The grade does not always reflect the serious nature of some of the climbing here - so read descriptions carefully and plan well.</text>
<text id="279" class="heading2">Quality</text>
<text id="280" class="text">Quality ratings of routes are always subjective, and the nature of climbing in the Fortescue area varies considerably (how could you compare any route with an icon such as the Tote?). Keeping this in mind, star ratings should be read in relation to the overall experience at hand (i.e. cragging vs. adventure routes).<br/><br/>*** A classic route. Iconic and mega, or otherwise excellent and consistent climbing up a prominent line.<br/>** Highly recommended. Great climbing and well worth seeking out.<br/>* A good route that's worth doing.<br/><br/>A no star route may not always mean it is sub-par. The FA may not have wanted to provide a rating for various reasons.</text>

<text class="heading1" id="3">Cape Hauy</text>
<text class="text" id="4">There are a number of interesting rock formations in the Cape Hauy area: The Candlestick, The Totem Pole, The Monument and assorted cliffs up to 100m high. It is a very spectacular spot and worthwhile even for just a look. Climbing on the Cape is usually epic and exposed.<br/><br/>The walking track to Cape Hauy starts from beside the boat ramp in the Fortescue Bay Campground, at the right-hand end of the beach as you drive in. The walk takes about an hour and a half. The track is well defined and in very good condition as it has been re-built as part of the proposed Three Capes Walk. To get to the abseil point for the Stick and the Tote, continue past the warning sign at the end of the formed track and follow a pad downhill. It is another 100m or so to the end of Cape Hauy. Follow a rough, slightly overgrown, and sporadically cairned track in the direction of Fortescue Bay along to a profile view of both sea stacks, at a level lower than the Tote's summit. From here you can traverse back across to a ledge within spitting distance of the Tote. Access to both stacks is by abseiling from a DBB here (about 60m).<br/><br/>Boat access to the base of the sea-spires is possible, but water movements through the channels and sudden surges make anchorage rather difficult. Kayaks can be z-pulley-ed out of the water to avoid damage from rock fall.</text>
<text class="heading2" id="7">The Totem Pole</text>
<text class="text" id="8">The Totem Pole is one of the most spectacular pieces of rock on the planet. It is a free-standing dolerite pillar spearing straight out of the water in a gloomy chasm infested with sharks and subject to volatile swell patterns. It is over sixty metres tall, but only about four metres wide at the base. It sways in the wind and shudders with the crash of every wave. The "Tote" is too slender to even be described as a phallic symbol, unless of course you've got a very skinny dick!<br/><br/>The prospect this piece of rock presents the climber is uncompromising and chilling. Equip yourself not only with the necessary gear but also a bottle of bravery pills. The challenge is psychological as much as technical.<br/><br/>See the Cape Hauy overview for details to get the the rap point. Fix a 60m rope to the DBB here and rap into the chasm. What you do next will depend on how big the swell is at the time...<br/><br/>In good conditions, it is possible to stand comfortably on the flat rock at the base of the Ewbank Route. There is a single carrot bolt at the bottom of route which can be used by the belayer for all routes on the Tote if that is the case. Even in moderate swell conditions, however it is subject to wave wash. (RP: I found that wearing bare feet and a waterproof jacket helped).<br/><br/>In more 'elevated' seas, a hanging belay is often employed at the start of the Deep Play Variant First Pitch, just left of the arete closest to the mainland. There is a spacious ledge about 4m off the water opposite the Fortescue Bay facing side that may be used as a base camp for the entertaining operation of penduluming over to the Tote. Taking a stick-clipping device of about 3 m length makes this crossing to this belay easy.<br/><br/>The easiest 'descent' option is to trail your abseil rope to to the top and use it to Tyrolean traverse back to the mainland. If you don't know what a Tyrolean traverse is, or how to set one up, then this is probably not the best place to learn how.</text>

<climb id="15" name="The Ewbank Route (free version aka 'The Freed Route')" number="1." fa="John Ewbank, Allan Keller, March 1968. FFA: Doug McConnell, Dean Rollins, Jan 2009." grade="27" length="65m" extra="" stars="">All but ignored following the ascent of The Free Route, the original aid route to the top of the Totem Pole was not as impossible to free as many had suspected. It now provides quality free climbing of a more committing nature than The Free Route. Gear required: plenty of quickdraws, cams to #1 Camalot, with doubles from #0.5 Camalot down, 1 set of wires, 1 set of RPs. Double ropes recommended.<br/>1. 20m 25. Start as for The Free Route and follow it to the SW (i.e. right) arête. Instead of continuing R, climb the arête, face and hollow flake to the triangular alcove.<br/>2. 15m 26. From the alcove, climb up to the roof. Step L around the arête via spike to a thin flake (good medium wires). Climb the face and arête, trending R at the horizontal to the semi-hanging DBB. Consider belaying the next pitch from below the DBB to avoid a potential factor 2 fall.<br/>3. 25m 27. Up the L arête and crack/seam, past a bolt, to a stance. Continue up crack past rattling spikes to the upper alcove. Up thin crack, then R and up to finish at ledge (DBB).<br/>4. 5m 17. Climb the prominent crack in the summit block. A tricky start gives way to cruisy crack climbing (this 'pitch' was freed on the first ascent).</climb>
<climb id="16" name="The Free Route" number="2." fa="Steve Monks, Simon Mentz (alt.), Jane Wilkinson, Simon Carter, Mar 1995." grade="25" length="65m" extra="" stars="***">One of the most iconic and recognisable rock climbs in the country, this route spirals its way up the Tote, climbing on all four faces. Start on the rock platform at the base of the Original Route if the swell is low, otherwise set up a hanging belay at the start of Deep Play. Many ascents these days start with the Deep Play variant first pitch instead of the one described here.<br/>1. 25m 25. Up the balancey arete on the L until possible to traverse R (across the Original Route) to the R arete (bolts). Keep moving R around the pillar (bolt) and then head up short corner (2 fixed pins, and/or cams) to the ledge.<br/>2. 40m 25. This is a really superb pitch; long, sustained, interesting and well-equipped. Pure class. Most people go L for a few metres after clipping the third bolt, and the back to the arete. There are 10 FHs, with some natural gear (cams) required in the last 10m. Gear: cams from small to #2 Camalot (but #0.75 and #1 are not used on this pitch or "Deep Play"), and plenty of quickdraws (including a couple of extendable quickdraws for under the roof).</climb>
<climb id="17" name="Gallegos Route" number="3." fa="Gallegos brothers (Spanish aid hard-men) 1993." grade="A?" length="65m" extra="" stars="">No one seems to know anything much about this, except that it appeared in a Boreal catalogue. From fixed gear left behind, it appears that the first pitch goes out left from the start of the Original Route and up to the big ledge on the far side (this pitch has been freed and is now known as Deep Play). The second pitch then cuts back R across the Tote, following a thin diagonal hairline crack with 2 old pitons... to perhaps join the Original Route at belay two? It may finish as for that route, or it could continue up independently... no sé!</climb>
<climb id="18" name="Deep Play" number="4." fa="Gallegos brothers (Spanish aid hard-men) 1993. FFA: Steve Monks, Enga Lokey, Feb 1999." grade="24" length="20m" extra="" stars="***">A popular alternative to the first pitch of the Free Route, as it lessens then the shenanigans required to get your abseil/Tyrolean rope to the summit. This pitch was originally aid-climbed as the first pitch to the Gallegos Route. It has now been retro-bolted (with 5 fixed hangers) and freed to create a more direct approach to the ledge on the far side of the Tote. Take a set of wires, and cams to red alien.</climb>
<climb id="104" name="The Sorcerer " number="5." fa="Garry Phillips and Chris Coppard, 2015." grade="27" length="58m" extra="" stars="***">A mind-blowing line. The climbing is sustained and technically demanding. <br/>1. 10m 22 Climb up to the 1st bolt on Deep Play, clip this with a long draw then drop back down a few metres to the horizontal break. Traverse left and around the arête to a stance and belay on the east face. <br/>2. 15m 25 Blast up the face for a few metres then traverse onto the right hand arête. Climb this via a tricky and powerful crux sequence to the ledge.<br/>Note: stay on the right hand arête: if you head left at the top it will become way run out and even harder. <br/>3. 30m 27 Follow the finger crack (.5 .4 .3 and .2 camolots) to the left hand arête. Up this past 8BR and a few bits of natural gear to the traverse line that leads right to the ledge. <br/>4. 3m 17 The crack to the summit. <br/>Gear List:<br/>• Double set of cams from .2 to .5 camolots<br/>• 2x 30cm quick draws<br/>• 1x 60cm quick draw<br/>• 14x quick draws<br/>• single 60m rope and 1 x 120cm sling <br/>• A ton of Psyche!<br/> <br/> <br/></climb>
<text class="heading2" id="19">The Candlestick</text>
<text class="text" id="21">The Candlestick stands behind the Tote. The sea heaving and surging between them caresses the rock walls like a hot lover. The water isn't that hot though, pretty freezing really, but hey, you didn't walk all this way for some kind of disco-party. You lugged all that climbing junk down to this chasm of doom for something far more special - a climbing experience you can really launch yourself into ... bodily.<br/><br/>The crux of the Candlestick is the swim. About 10m of shark-infested, usually surging, water lies between the base of the Tote and the Stick. Send someone else into the water but first give them an end of a rope so they can rig up a Tyrolean. This will minimise the overall wetness of the party. I hesitate to state what should be bloody obvious but someone from Queensland wrote in to say that people should be advised not to swim around the Cape Pillar side to the Tote. Despite the sharp angle the 60m obelisk would put on their rope they were hoping that it would slide smoothly up the Tote as they climbed the Candlestick (until they would be high enough to simply flick it over). They appear to have been surprised when their ropes got caught!<br/><br/>Access:<br/>To get to the abseil point for the Stick and the Tote, at the end of the formed track follow a pad downhill. It is another 100m or so to the end of Cape Hauy. Follow a rough, slightly overgrown track in the direction of Fortescue Bay along to a profile view of both sea stacks, at a level lower than the Tote's summit. From here you can traverse back right across to a ledge within spitting distance of the Tote. Access to both stacks is by abseiling from a DBB here (about 60m). A 70m+ rap line is required to be able to access start of routes (or extend the 60m rope).<br/>There are two ledges on the Candlestick accessible by a short swim from the base of the Tote: (1) A small one to the north that has a double bolt belay with fixed hangers 3m above sea level. This is the start of the NW (The Corner)Route. Jump in and swim left to ledge with U bolts 2-3m above the water. Drag traverse rope across 15m gap and setup Tyrolean or swim.<br/>and (2) a larger one, with no bolts, that is about 20 m south of (1) in the direction of Cape Pillar, behind the Tote, and directly below the actual Candlestick summit.<br/>The Middle Way, the Original (1971) Route and The Wick (1981) start from the larger (southern) ledge. The West Wall is also accessible from here by climbing up The Wick a short way before traversing left.<br/><br/>Descent:<br/>From the summit rap down to the bolts at the bottom of the last pitch. The 40m Tyrolean back requires two ropes and involves a controlled descent as anchors are approx. 20m higher than mainland. It is also possible to rap down to the bolts at the top of pitch 2 of ‘The Original Route’ and set up a Tyrolean from there, although ropes have been known to become stuck from this point.<br/><br/>Loose rock is the norm on the Candlestick so take great care. Look out for those below you.</text>

Establish oneself on the ledge after desperately grabbing the kelp and move left 3m into the corner.<br/>1. 30m 18. The corner, stepping right around the small roof at 18m. Up to a sloping ledge.<br/>2. 30m 17. Up corner crack and continue to loose vegetated belay ledge at top with slings around boulder. <br/>3. 25m 16. Up wide crack and through awkward chimney squeeze being careful not to dislodge loose rock. Take care not to snag the drag line on the arete to your right. An alternative is to climb the wall on the left which is ">gr.18., delicate and tricky". See 'The Pommish Invasion' film, 2016, at https://www.ukclimbing.com/videos/play.php?i=3400<br/>4. 20m 16. Move the belay back to the bolts across Thank Christ Ledge, and secure your drag line. Go up the crack to your left and follow the line to the top of the stick. Alternatively, and somewhat looser, follow a steep jam crack (~18), traversing left under a rooflet near the end of the pitch to regain the original line to the summit. Rap back down from slings to the bolts from slingswhere you left your fixed line, and set up your escape via Tyrolean.<br/><br/>Do not underestimate the serious nature of this route. Multiple parties have been injured requiring rescue due to lack of preparation of experience over the years.</climb>

Up this for 5m then traverse back left on the easy ledge to build a belay. This semi circle of a pitch could be completed direct on reasonable holds as a DWS at around grade 20-22, the described line follows the pro and the easier climbing. <br/>2. 25m 20 (crux) Launch up the obvious crack system that begins with #2s (save a couple for the next belay) and finishes with 0.4's and wires. Sustained and classic, just enough holds and rests when you need them. A belay is best made on one of the smaller ledges reached first as the pro is not as solid on the large ledge up higher (the higher ledge is also in the way of potential rock fall).<br/>3. 30m 18 Up the clean #1 size splitter and into the big corner system. Stem up this passing a death block around halfway (surprisingly solid) and a #3 - #4 corner crack to finish off. <br/>4. Continue up the remaining two pitches of the North West route. <br/><br/>A small rack of wires and triple rack from #0.4-#3 will make this climb a pleasant experience.</climb>

<text class="text" id="26">This large sea-stack is just off to the south of Cape Hauy (clearly visible from the track) was first climbed in 1970 by a Climbers' Club of Tasmania group. This sea-stack is much less popular than the others in the area, perhaps due to the fact that it is not as dramatic looking and is only about 50m high. However, since it is about 100m off shore, it is not any less of an mission to reach the top. Indeed, the tale of the first ascent is yet another grand CCT epic spread over a few attempts.<br/><br/>Prior to the successful attempt, Mendelt Tillema had already swam out to the stack, though his companion (Peter McHugh), who planned to follow in a rubber dingy was not able to make it out to the stack due to the swell. Mendelt swam back to shore and the attempt was aborted. The next time, Mendelt again swam (trailing a rope) to the prominent ledge on the NE corner of the stack. Mike Emery and Ray Lassman tied in the middle of the rope and followed, while Col Hocking held the other end and waited on the mainland should things get messy. McHugh contributed to proceedings by tumbling down the cliff as the start of the day, leaving blood stained rocks as markers for the path to the sea.<br/><br/>From the ledge, the team took the prominent chimney in the corner. This was an 80ft (or 25m) pitch at a grade of "VDiff" (now considered about grade 12-ish), and then a scramble to the top. Upon erecting a cairn they donated some green tights for a flag, though it appears these have long since blown away.<br/><br/>Most (all?) subsequent ascents have utilised a vessel of some sort; either a kayak, or a motor boat (including the second ascent, where they hitched a ride out to the stack on a fishing boat, and flagged down another boat to get a lift back a few hours later!). These days, the sea-stack is perhaps best approached by a kayak launched from Fortescue Bay on a calm day; unless you like swimming, that is.</text>

<text class="text" id="34">The following route climbs the steep cliffs overlooking the Candlestick and the Totem Pole, and is accessed by rapping down the route. To get there, follow the Cape Hauy track from Fortescue Bay as for the Totem Pole. At the "Track Ends 50 metres" sign, do not turn off left (as for the Tote), rather go to the end of the track to the rock edge/lookout on the R. Rap bolts are located on the L (looking out), just over the edge. TODO: GPS co-ords.<br/><br/>The raps are: (a) 25m from top (DBB) to a ledge (2 rings + 1 FH), (b) 30m to 2 rings, (c) 30m to 2 FH, then (d) 15m to the bottom ledge, which is huge. NOTE: rap (b) does NOT go directly below the bolts, but instead goes off the other side of the ledge (towards Cape Pillar).</text>

<text class="text" id="40">Rarely visited - situated in a small inlet about 0.5 km from the end of Cape Hauy, are some superb dolerite sea crags discovered in March 1989 after a huge swell aborted a Candlestick attempt. To get there leave the Cape Hauy track (as marked on the map) and walk along the ridge line to the coast (downhill from the ridge the scrub is horrendous!). As you get to the coast you have to bash through some pretty thick stuff for maybe 100m 'til you arrive at the crag. (Editor's note: a boat sounds like a good alternative. Has anyone got one?). Routes are from L to R. The hard looking arête makes a good point of reference.</text>

<text id="275" class="text">This section of the guide covers the cliffs and crags within the sheltered area of Fortescue Bay itself. There are a couple of pleasant crags within an easy 20 minute walk of the campsite that provide a fun and relaxed day out.</text>
<text class="heading2" id="50">The Sunny Gym</text>
<text class="text" id="51">The original crag in the area (previously known as Fortescue Bay Crag). A quiet, sunny heat trap, right on the sea and with a pleasant rock platform at its base. The crag is about 15-20m high, and the rock is fairly typical of Tasman Peninsula, generally okay but take care of friable rock. Climbing is generally on cracks and flakes. The cliff faces north, and is a warm winter crag, particularly if the sun is shining. <br/><br/>Approach from Fortescue Bay and walk along the Cape Hauy track for 5 minutes until it begins to leave the coast (don't follow it inland). Drop down to the shoreline and follow it for another 15 minutes. You will come to the top of the crag - you can't miss it. Either abseil from gear or trees, or continue through the scrub to a tricky down climb near the far end.</text>

<text id="174" class="heading2">Canoe Bay Crag</text>
<text id="175" class="text">With the relaxing setting, easy walk from Fortescue Bay camp-ground and an abundance of good routes all virtually next door to each other, these cliffs provide a popular day out cragging. There are large wave-cut belay ledges facing the Hippolytes and Cape Hauy to bask-on, and it's a great spot to have a swim on a hot day. <br/><br/>The rock quality is generally good, though it is friable in places. The top-outs are loose and scrubby - so use the lower-offs. The crag goes into shade in the afternoon but is good year round. Some seepage occurs after consecutive heavy rainfall. Routes listed with a ≈ symbol are best climbed when the tide/swell is low (<0.8m tide is ideal). <br/><br/>Access is from the Canoe Bay walking track (the same one that goes towards the Moai). From the car park, head North along the beach, then follow the track to Canoe Bay for ~15 minutes.</text>
<text id="176" class="heading3">South Cliff</text>
<text id="271" class="text">The South Cliff gets more sun than the North Cliff and has a nice big amphitheatre of rock to bask on. There's a handful of nice sport routes here and a few excellent trad lines. Cut-off from the track down to the point on your right (locate a small cairn at 43 deg 7.8327’ S, 147 deg 57.5309’ E), immediately before Canoe Bay at around the top of the hill. Rock-hop around the water-line towards Canoe Bay and you will come to the southern crag.</text>

<text id="273" class="text">The North Cliff loses the sun around midday and is slightly taller. The rock is arguably of better overall quality here as well. There's plenty of excellent trad and mixed lines, and one hard sport route. Locate a small cairn (at 43 deg 7.7088’ S, 147 deg 57.4739’ E) next to a big tree as you walk down the hill to Canoe Bay, then cut right down to the waterline and traverse the shore towards the South, away from Canoe Bay. If the tide/swell comes up during your visit, it's possible to escape back to the track by climbing a grade 6 exit scramble right of 'Bogans in Boats', then walking shortly through the scrub back to the track.</text>

<text class="heading1" id="64">Bivouac Bay & Cape Nola</text>
<text id="250" class="text">The area around Cape Nola and Bivouac Bay has a range of attractions, most notably The Moai - perhaps the most achievable of the three spires. You can either walk-in to do your chosen route(s) in a day from the car park, or as a more relaxed trip by camping at the Bivouac Bay camp-site. There is good water access and a toilet here, along with tent platforms. <br/><br/>- The Moai is ~10 minutes’ walk away from the camp-site.<br/>- The Golden Pillar a further 10 minutes from this. <br/>- The Bivouac Bay crag is about a 15 minute walk away from camp.</text>
<text id="254" class="heading2">Bivouac Bay Crag</text>
<text id="268" class="text">The last of the trio of crags in the bay also boasts the best routes. The crag is just over an hours walk from the campground, or a 15 minute walk away from the Bivouac Bay campsite. The rock here is water washed and of very good quality, and there’s a variety of grades and styles. The crag faces South and doesn’t get much sun, so it’s great on a warm day in summer, and chilly in winter.<br/><br/>Access is simple. At the small bay just South of Bivouac Bay proper, two meters past the small rocky bridge, cut from the track on the vague trail (GPS code FTS031) and head easily down the small gully/dry creek bed to the water. At the stony beach, walk Southwest (towards Canoe Bay) along the shoreline for around 5 minutes until you see a cairn at the tree line. Start heading uphill past this, following the orange tape along the rough bush track until it leads to a descent gully. Down this and walk to the right (facing the sea) to the main cliff. <br/><br/>It’s very easy to reach the crag by Kayak or boat, with good landing locations right next to the crag if the swell is low, which it usually is. If you own a kayak, this is the recommended approach.<br/><br/>Be wary of how you store your food. The resident raven knows how to open zips, and has a penchant for power bars.</text>

<text id="243" class="heading2">The Moai</text>
<text class="text" id="65">The Moai completes the trilogy. No aid, no swim, just quality routes - uncompromisingly modern in style - in a wild and scenic location. The Moai is a lone column of dolerite beside the sea, north of Fortescue Bay. Amidst the walls of rock along the coastline it stands apart, resting upon an altar formed by a rock platform, like a discontinuity in the time-space continuum. Its spiritual significance is obvious. Rock is not simply the medium for the sport, as only climbers know, the rock is sacred and the Moai is a shrine to the Rock Gods - a place of worship. (Editor's note: Moai is the name of the monoliths on Easter Island, pronounced "mow"-"eye")<br/><br/>To get to the Moai, walk along the beach from Fortescue Bay and onto the track to Waterfall Bay. About 1 hour 30 minutes of walking takes you to Bivouac Bay (good camp site with toilet). From Bivouac Bay, continue along the track for about 10 minutes until the crest of the spur is reached; there are two sawn stumps (approx. 40cm diameter) on the track here. Another 20m (approximately) along the track a small cairn marks the route to the abseils. Additional cairns and faded yellow (i.e. white) tape marks the route. Finally, climb around a large boulder to reach the abseil anchors (a U and a chain-link about 100m from the track). The first abseil is 15m (grade 16 if you want to climb back out). There are then two more of similar height off trees (these two can be done together as a 50m abseil and are about grade 12 if you're climbing out). Alternatively, a 60m rope fixed from the top anchors will just reach the bottom. From the bottom of the abseils it is relatively straightforward to scramble down to the rock platform. At most times, the rock platform is unthreatened by waves, but in certain heavier swell conditions waves do occasionally sweep across. Take care if the sea is rough, especially on the scramble to the platform.</text>

<text class="heading2" id="81">The Golden Pillar</text>
<text class="text" id="82">Located about 10 minutes’ walk further along the track from the Moai turn-off is a large orange arete (GPS code FTS010), visible from the track at the first lookout you come to. This is a big, exposed cliff, and starting your route at the lonely ledges below is cathartic. For the full experience - pull your ropes! But don't underestimate the serious nature of climbing here, walking out from the base would be a real PITA.<br/><br/>Although the routes to date have been extensively cleaned, The Golden Pillar is known for having some friable rock, and the quality on the routes can vary anywhere from very good to very shit - so wear a helmet. Potential routes to the right of the Golden Pillar have been investigated, but the rock quality starts to deteriorate significantly.<br/><br/>The Pillar is located only a few metres from the track. It is well equipped with DBBs at the top of the cliff for getting down to the routes - check the individual route descriptions for details.<br/><br/>Be wary of how you store your food. The resident raven knows how to open zips, and has a penchant for power bars.</text>

Abseil with a 60m fixed rope, or, if brave, abseil in three pitches, from double bolts, using a single 60 metre rope. <br/><br/>Gear - You will need eight hangers and a dozen draws, a medium wire (No.5 Rock) and Cams 0.4, 0.5, 0.75 & 1 (BD C4s). The route is equipped with a mixture of stainless expansion bolts with hangers and (bash-in!) stainless carrots. The route is somewhat run-out in places, so pack your bravery pills. There could be another pitch below.<br/><br/>1. 25m 24. Move up a slight flake crack on the R, via the 0.4 and 0.5 camalot, and pull left onto the arête at a fixed hanger. Climb with increasing difficulty via carrots and some fixed hangers to a slight runout to the belay. <br/>2. 25m 24. Continue up the arête on slightly worsening rock , where a #5 Rock eases tricky moves up to a short crack. Again there is a slight runout to the belay, but a 0.75 cam helps. <br/>3. 10m 19. Climb the groove to a carrot, step R and go up a solid hand crack past a second carrot to the top.</climb>
