new="false">There is a very small dolerite crag called Fool's Paradise across the river at Broadmarsh - you can see it from the road. Pretty damn worthless.</text><text

class="text"
new="false">Cape Pillar is a huge dolerite sea cliff on the Tasman Penisula. There have been several routes put up there, but its big, remote, and scary. Several routes have also been done on Tasman Island. If we get details, we'll write them up.</text><text
class="heading2" new="false">Chauncy Vale</text><text
class="text"
new="false">Chauncy Vale (otherwise known as Chossy Vale) is a sandstone valley near Bagdad, about 30 minutes north of Hobart. The road to the start of the walk is sign posted from the main road in Bagdad. Climbing is currently banned, however a couple of bolted routes were put up in the late 90s. To find them, head up walking track that goes up the hill, after about 10 minutes it passes under the first buttress. There is a big roof crack at about 22, then a nice route with about 5 bolts at grade 20. Further right is a good bolted arete. More cliffs were explored and cleaned, but the vast majority of cliffs in the valley are total choss.</text><text

new="false">Meehan Range</text><text class="text"
new="false">There is an obvious mudstone/siltstone cliff on the Meehan Range that is visible from almost anywhere. It has half a dozen or so sport routes, but was burnt pretty badly in 2006. The rock is covered in charcoal now instead of lichen, but there are actually some solid sections in between the chossy layers. To get there walk up one of the fire trails on the ridges either to the left or right, and then across to the top of the cliff. Walking up from below is awful. Details of the routes, or who put them up, are not available.

new="false">The big ridge of Mt Oakleigh is a classic alpine jaunt. You can make it easier or harder by avoiding some of the gendarmes. Allow a full day from New Pelion hut.</text><text

new="false">Richmond</text><text class="text"
new="false">There are two cliffs at Richmond, in the same general area. Drive right down Henry street and you can see the obvious Barwick's Rocks. Spice Cliffs are further around the hill (apparently). The rock is loose sandstone, and its on private land.</text><text

new="false">Shag Bay is a pile of choss, but apparently "was climbed out by phil steane in early eighties". No further details are available.</text><text
class="heading2" new="false">Sorell Creek Crags</text><text
class="text"
new="false">There are three different small dolerite cliffs at Sorell Creek which were developed in the 1970s. They are in the gorge that the road which heads south from the Sorell Creek township goes through. They currently languish in obscurity, and will probably stay that way. But if someone is super keen, there are descriptions in the CCT circulars in the State Library.</text><text
