access="Take the turn-off to Lost Falls, 3km E of Kalangadoo on Lake Leake Highway and drive for 5km, following signs to the car park (LF000). Follow the sign saying "Rock Pools" to the creek (LF010), then down creek to top of falls (LF020). Total walking time is about ten minutes. Find a TBB here near the edge and abseil 26m to TBB, then 50m to TBB, then 20m to the base.<br/><br/>This place accommodates two parties without too much discomfort thanks to the triple bolt belays. Any more than two groups and things would get a bit crowded."

intro="This area is definitely different to your typical crag. The surroundings alone make the trip worthwhile, the routes are weird but fun - if you take the attitude that dried slime and other waterfall debris are all part of the adventure! Both routes share the top pitch, and both are fully bolted."
