BLOCKBUSTER BUTTRESS

From the Rock Guide by Chris Baxter

Pitiful outcrops between the Tower of Paine of and Wild Flower Wall. Not a destination
crag. From NW corner of Halls Gap camping ground, follow the walking track past cliff on
Mackeys Peak and the track joining it from summit of Mackeys Peak. Atop a set of stone steps in the track the track turns L (250 m S of turn-off to summit of Mackeys Peak). Leave the track here and go 80 m up R to the blocky crag visible through the bush. Cliffs face E. Walking time 30 minutes.
