5 minute walk in apparently. The date of the first ascent (early 90's) means the bolts will be very scary indeed! It had 7 bolts and a rap anchor that needed 'fixing' according to the description. It is located about 5km down Redmans Road on the left side just before Barbican Wall/Rocks (from Halls Gap/Dunkeld Road).

9 bolts, 1992 - see page 28 of the 2001 VCC SE Gramps Update #1: http://www.vicclimb.org.au/media/pdf/updates/se_gramp_1.pdf

As the comment in the guide that the anchor requires shackles, means you will probably be faced with a similar bolting atrocity like St Elmos Fur...

well, i can testify that the bolt on the crux holds a fall, so mikls home made hangers seem to be holding up ok. the anchor is bomber! 2 more rusted hangers, on bolts sticking out too far, one above the other, with the lower utilising some 14 year old webbing through the hanger and wrapped around the bolt head. i have a feeling that this lower bolt was the single rap point, thus allowing easy retreaval of rope post climb....

I have no memory of this one at all, I'm sure it's full of fearsome rust streaks and there are 9 bolt heads lying on the deck. I believe it will qualify for an alzhiemer's flash.
