<header name="Wood Hookers" id="1" walk="20 Metres" sun="Shady" rock="Sandstone" acknowledgement="" intro="Wood hookers is part of the Mt Hobbs permanent forest production area and is a small area comprising a series of outcrops. The lower outcrop is undercut with 2-3m roof while the top outcrop is mainly off vertical. The area is Bluff River sandstone, which tends to be friable and is easily broken when wet.<br/>" history="" access="The most straightforward method is to drive to Buckland, about 60km NE of Hobart on the A3, then turn left on the C318 (Buckland Rd).<br/><br/>Follow the Buckland Rd. until about 1.5km past the Cutting Grass Rd junction. Watch for the dirt road branching off on the left just after a small rise.<br/><br/>Follow this road into the trees for about 1 Km, take care crossing the rock filled ditch at 800m then park off the road and admire the majesty of Wood hookers, well at least the proximity." camping="" autonumber="true"/>

<text id="7" class="text">A memorial to Hobart City Hall in the 70’s, where big burly blokes feigned contest to delight and enrage the crowd. Many may feel the same about the bouldering. <br/><br/>After an epic cleaning effort this area has produced a range of quality problems. Despite the epic clean the featured nature of the wall means that after rain sand can accumulate on some holds so bring a brush. <br/><br/>The obvious independent straight ups have been done with all problems having a stand start that goes at least one grade easier. There is scope for a range of linkups and variants due to the highly featured nature of the rock.<br/><br/>The problems are typically physical.</text>
