Bare Rock at Fingal - New Access Details 16-Jul-2007 At 9:51:13 PM Tastrad

Message

Bare Rock at Fingal in Tassie has a new landowner. Andrew Martin and his partner Alannah, have recently bought the property below the cliff. They are climbers from Queensland. They have sent me an email with their requests and conditions regarding access to the cliff. So any climbers on road trips to Tassie and wanting to climb Sapphire Rose, Macdonagh, and other classics at Bare Rock, will need to abide by Andrews wishes. See email below:

Can you please indicate to the Tassie Climbing Crew that we are more than happy to have climbers access the land to climb at Bare Rock (Fingal), although we would prefer that people go up the side boundary fence (as opposed to the main drive) and then hook a right turn to the obvious parking area. We would also appreciate a quick call on 0418883418 telling us that you are heading up there... as we have neighbours looking out for the place and that way I can tell them of your intended arrival. The other number is not currently connected, but may well be by christmas. Either way the mobile is the way to go. Of PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE is the realization that the road up to Bare Rock is not council maintained, and in fact, is paid for and maintained by the 3 property owners (myself included). The other two have therefore asked that any climbers PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY as this seems to really irritate them (the road gets chewed up very easily, as well as noise etc). I know this is a very small ask, but keeping the neighbours happy on this one would seem to be the wise option. Other than that I hope you all enjoy climbing there as much as I did. I will be down from Late November through to late January... so if you are around then... pop in, grab a beer (if there are any left) say hello etc... we would love to get to know the Tasmanian climbing crew!
