Don’t attempt this type of cache unless you are experienced
with abseiling gear , and able to deal with heights.
As with this type of cache all care has been taken , but the
responsibility is totally up to you .
The only Equipment needed is a harness and a carabiners ( no
ropes needed ) to clip into the pulley on the tyronlean traverse
.
This destination will take you to one of the best sport climbing
areas in the blue mountains .
The reason for the name , comes from the movie . you know the
part where the rescue team are using a tyronlean traverse stretched
over a huge canyon .
This is what awaits you. ( minus a helicopter )
This is the only parking area , usual you will see a quite a few
cars here , they will be climbers ( winter only ) From the car
parking spot walk west 100m up the road to a fire trail. This is
the start of your adventure.
From here follow the newly graded trail for 25 min till you will
see the cairn ( small pile of rocks ) on the left hand side.
This is a single trail track heading west ( well walked ) follow
this for 5 minutes or so till you get to a small cliff . a quick
rock scramble with a rope in place to assist .
Continue for a short while the track drops down on the left and
follows a over hung cave , at the end of this ,there will be a rope
to assist a 2 meter rock scramble down to a track which will follow
the base of the cliffs.
The tyronlean traverse is a couple minutes from here , the cache
is on the other side up the hill.
All in all should take 45min to 1 hour each way if on foot. Or
if on mountain bike around 30min each way . only ride the mtb on
the fire trail .
