Murrin Park: old routes north of Lakeside in Woods

[smallman]

Currently rescrubbing a cliff of moderate routes (est 5.6 - 5.9) just east of the north end of Lakeside in the Woods across from the Reachround which does not appear in any of the recent guidebooks. This area has obviously has established routes as in the course of recleaning, evidence of previous cut stumps have been found. We also found sheet metal tags folded in the tops of some of the cracks. Does anyone have any knowledge of this area?

Regarding the metal you found. I have heard of climbers laying zinc strips at the tops of crags in an effort to kill the moss on the wall below. Could explain what you found. Kudos on the cleaning.

Thanks Aaron: I didn't think of that. It did not seem particularly successful in this case. I think lots of traffic is a more successful tactic.
