Eldon is a small sandstone crag with some great steep rock. It's pretty limited in scope and won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it has the advantages of a flat 10 minute walk in, fun routes on steep & solid sandstone, and a pleasant sunny aspect. It's climbable in winter if the sun is out. There is quite a lot of other rock in the general area to be explored, for instance in the Rhyndaston Gorge and the Gravelly Ridge CA.
Please respect the closed projects.

The crag was found by Dave Humphries and Jon Nermut in 2013, and developed over the winter.

Eldon is about 50 minutes drive from Hobart via Richmond and Colebrook. At Colebrook turn right on to Eldon Rd, towards Tunnack. Follow this up over the hill and down the other side. At the bridge head left, onto the gravel road. Follow this until it turns back to bitumen and up the hill. Park on the side of the road just before the gate marked "Eldon Hill". The track starts 50m down the hill from this at a small rock shelf. Follow the red tapes up the hill until you hit an old 4wd track. Turn right on this and follow it out towards the ridge. Just before it heads back right inland, more red tapes head down to the crag.
The crag and access walk are within the Spinning Gum Conservation Area which is public land.
