3 Aug, Sat 8:00AM				Red Ledge Pass – Devils Hole Track
Grade:4/6		Length	9km	500m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Date Changed) Red Ledge Pass is one of the many scenic passes off the Narrowneck that are worth a visit but still pose a bit of a challenge as it's steep in parts with a rough track only to the top of the pass with a bush bash down into the valley. Then it's a walk along to Devils Hole, which is very scenic with its small stand of rainforest and giant chockstone. Off-track and scrambling.
