PUMP ROCK
To find this crag follow the walking track towards Sundial Peak for about 15 minutes from the car park. A few hundred metres past the rocky outcrops high on the right, the track opens up at a sandy area with a couple of rock steps. Turn right into light scrub at a prominent boulder. Walk across the shallow valley and two ridges to the 15m leaning grey wall that faces Mount Rosea (about 500m off the track). I wandered around here and the only crag I found didn't appear to have any bolts and the descriptions couldn't be made to fit any of the features.
