Location:
34°38'21.15"S 150°33'31.90"E
Access: Refer to
Google Earth for location. Drive along Belmore Falls Rd until you
come to a creek crossing, Park your car here and walk down the creek
to the to the top of the waterfall. From the edge of the waterfall
you should be able to see to two ring bolts in the wall about 1.5m
below the look out.

Anchors: On the
Southern side (the lookout side) there is 2 glue-in ring bolts in the
wall 1.5m below the look out, use the 2 ring bolts on top and the
hand rail as your back-up. From the lookout you should be able to see
3 ring bolts in the wall opposite. To access the northern side, walk
back up along the road until you see an obvious clearing with a
massive tree (5m around), this tree will be your back-up anchor and
your rappel anchor for setting up the line. There will be a cleared
path that leads toward the edge, the anchors are about 1m right of
this clearing, and about 3m down the wall. Take lots of slings and
extra static ropes for this line. You will need an ascender and
foot loop to climb back up from the line!!
Linking: Take a
slingshot, throw line or bow and arrow, it can be difficult to get
the line from one side to the other. It’s probably easier to get a
line from the lookout to the water fall, and one from the north side
to the waterfall, and then have someone tie them together in the
middle.
Remarks: This is
a difficult line to setup but it is definitely worth the effort. Take
extra static ropes and slings.
Make sure that you
have ascenders and that you know how to use them!
