Introduction[edit]

Approach[edit]

Park at the locked gate at the end of Middle Ridge Rd in Mount Jerusalem National Park. Continue along the firetrail, then turn onto the first major firetrail off to the left that you see (Sand Ridge Rd). This goes steeply downhill and crosses a small creek on a derelict bridge. Leave the firetrail just after the bridge and follow the creek downstream for 200 m along an intermittent track, crossing as required. Skirt the plunge-pool to arrive at the top of the falls.

Descent[edit]

P1 (28 m) - TR, 2x carrot bolts perched back from the falls. Make sure you bring two hanger plates and carabiners to use them.

P2 (52 m) – TR, 2x expansion bolts with hanger plates. Ignore carrot bolts on TL. P2 would be approximately 32 m if P3 is done too.

P3 (20 m, optional) – TL, tree with sling 5m out on ledge. Not currently rigged, but would reduce potential for getting the rope hung-up on P2. P3 can be easily downclimbed.

  • Exit[edit]

    Up the ridge on the TL of the canyon just after the canyon end. If you round the bend visible from the bottom of the canyon, you've gone too far. There's no track, but visible evidence other people have exited the same way. You climb up above the top of P1 and drop down to the plunge-pool. Don't forget to retrieve your carabiners and carrot plates from the top of P1.
