new="false">Handsome Crag</text><text class="text"
new="false">Handsome Crag has quite a decent amount of reasonable sandstone. There is a quite a lot of potential here for bouldering, and there has been a rapid amount of development here since it was kicked off by Dave Humphries, Jon Nermut and Campbell Godfrey in May 2008. The crag faces north and gets a lot of sun, so is a good winter venue, but too hot in summer. It's high enough that it mostly escapes the New Norfolk fog.</text><text
class="text"
new="false">It is possible to drive to within fifty metres of the cliff. There used to be a locked gate at the bottom of the road, but this is no longer present. The crag is on Crown Land, administered by Forestry Tasmania. To get there head up to New Norfolk and cross to the northern side of the Derwent River. Head up river and take the first right, followed by a left. Follow this through the outer suburbs of New Norfolk to the T-junction: to get to the cliff turn right along Back River Road. The turn-off to the crag is about 2km along Back River Road from the T-junction. Turn right at the driveway to house numbers 658, 660 & 662 (this is the middle of 3 dirt tracks) and drive for another 1km before reaching where the locked gate used to be on the left. This is Handsome Caves Road. After a few kilometres of zigging and zagging up a steep, rough road, when it flattens out a bit take a track which turns off sharply to the left. The crag will soon be visible on the right.
The road is "good fun" in a 2wd - the extra clearance and traction of a softroader makes the drive a bit more comfortable. But please remember that other people use this road - use your common sense and don't hoon it, and make sure you park well off the road. No one wants the gate back on the road! The drive takes about 45 min or 40km from Hobart.</text><image

<text
class="heading2" new="false">The Stronghold</text><text
class="text"
new="false">This area has about a dozen beautiful free standing boulders with some fantastic lines. Good rock too. Continue on Handsome Caves Rd past the Main Cliff for another couple of hundred metres until you get to an area with a couple of free standing boulders in a flat area on the right, with a small cliff line behind. You should be able to spy some more boulders up above the left side of the cliff line - this is where the good stuff is. Park in a small sandy pull out, and head up the hill for 5 minutes. Once you are above the small cliff line you should be able to see the boulders.
The boulders are described pretty much top-to-bottom and left-to-right as they appear in the plan topo below.</text><text

class="text"
new="false">The Weakhold is a fantastic area with high potential for new problems of all grades. The climbing is varied, being composed of boulders from forty-five degrees overhanging to gentle slabs. The holds are typically quite slopey, however an assortment of pockets, crimps and jugs can also be found. The setting is quite beautiful, and the area tends to be a little shadier than The Stronghold. Contrary to the beliefs of some, the rock is typically good quality, however it can be quite dirty in places thus requiring intensive cleaning. The bulk of the problems already developed are of exceptional quality, with several being some of the best in the state. Having said this, there is definite potential for many more quality problems of various grades and style, so get out there and do some brushing!
Keep going along the road until a track heads off left, park just before this. Scramble up the hill to find a series of about half a dozen large boulders.From the GPS co-ordinates it looks as though this area is in the corner of the same Crown Land parcel as the Stronghold. You can easily walk here from the Stronghold by walking about about 500m along the the hillside, keeping to the same level as the Stronghold.</text><image
