Introduction[edit]
An interesting short fissure in the ground.
Approach[edit]
Head up the 'A' trail. You will pass through two gates (passing the giant 'A' created by white painted rocks). You will find the fissure right beside the trail.
Descent[edit]
Walk along the top of the fissure. It isn't long. At the end you can scramble in. It is probably easiest to traverse along the ledges on either side to avoid the scrub. You will pass under a large chunk of rock and then have the option to downclimb into the deepest section. The climbing is pretty straightforward.
Exit[edit]
Exit by reversing the way you came.
