Crags on the Bogong High Plains 23-Jun-2013 At 9:53:29 PM Justcameron

Does anyone have any idea about directions to get to this crag? (craglet)

I regularly visit the Bogong Rover Chalet (near Cope Hut) each winter and have spied the large outcrop near Strawberry saddle from a distance, but never been there. Going to the chalet in 10 days time but there doesn't look like being much snow around so considering going for a bit of a climb....

Any tips on how to get there (where to leave the road,) route/cliff description, protection would be good - since I will be carrying my gear in from Falls Creek. Probably have a few people - is the crag big enough to warrant 2 topropes? What's the gear like - big/small cams, hexes required? Any thoughts on toproping? Need a long static or just a short one?

The area is listed on thecrag (or I presume it's the same area) but very minimal info.
