Penny Lane
This cliff offers a wide variety of climbs, although cracks predominate. Gain access from a short path heading north off the loop trail directly below Penny Lane (the climb that gives the cliff it’s name). From the east end of the cliff a gully gives access to Ronin’s corner, Fern Gully and Pink Cliff.
There are bolted rappell stations at the top of Quarryman, Up Up and Away and Witch Doctors Apprentice.
