AS PER COMMENT RECIEVED IN THIS WAYMARKS' LOGS (Dated 12/19/2014 by Grahame Cookie) PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS AREA MAY BE UNACCESSIBLE.
The North face gives climbs of up to 20m or so on hard Hawkesbury Sandstone. It is also popular for abseiling. The waymark coords are at the access point near the road from which a track leads down to the base of the climbs. Anchor points at the top of the climb are readily available so that lead climbing is not necessary nor the need to carry chocks etc, and the climber can be well protected in the event of a spill.
The parking coords are listed perhaps a little further away than necessary for tackling the North face and parking for one might be squeezed within 8 metres of the listed GZ, but the visitor may be interested in the cafe nearby as well as lookouts and other climbing faces.
