A walk for those who love rock scrambling,pagodas in abundance, interesting slots, ramps, passageways and even squeezy bits! Needless to say this walk has all of the above including the Ultimate View and a place which will leave you breathing hard, the birthing canal pass! Actually for this trip I'll have a tape so if you don't want to experience the aforementioned pass you don't have to and you can climb down beside it. In any case you must be prepared for plenty of offtrack walking and some scrubbashing. Although this walk goes past the Citadel it's an optional climb for those who don't want to attempt it. In any case the views along Citadel spur will blow you away. Early meetup at Capertee is essential. rock scrambling Location: Mugii Murum-ban SCA Map: Ben Bullen 89314S Limit: 12. View
