Abseiler hurt on Bluff Mountain, Warrumbungles 14-Jun-2016 At 3:58:59 PM rocksinmyhead

Hi all,

I spotted the article this morning, it states that there was an accident at the Warrumbungles on the weekend.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-13/two-abseilers-rescued-after-spending-night-on-mountain-ledge/7505190?section=nsw

Ok, so I'm hoping for a speedy and complete recovery for the injured party, and would like to send a big thank you to the those involved in the rescue.

But now I'm wondering if it's a just a case of climbers being called abseilers, or if there really is an abseil route down Bluff mountain. I can't see anything noted on The Crag, and I always thought you walked off,

If there is, does anyone know where it is, and how often is used? Given Bluff mountain's height and it's reputation for loose rock, I'd hesitate about heading up any route nearby when there was a party heading down.

cheers

Pete
