Dwarfland

This area doesn’t rate alongside the main Glasshouses, but not being part of any of them in particular, needs its own section! Located in the State Forest south of Mt Tibberoowuccum, this is a pure sport crag of diminutive proportions. Gym climbers will be accustomed to the length of the routes. The routes are all quite taxing despite their small length, and are well bolted to prevent your legs snapping off in the event of a fall. The rock is very hard Tibrogargan-esque trachyte with various features including edges, slopers and pockets.

How to get to the carpark
Turn L off the main Glasshouse road at the Rest Area (marked 'Forestry Nursery') as for Tibrogargan. At the railway bridge, turn L and follow Caves Road (signposted) for 2.5km to the Tibberoowuccum turn off, but don't take it. Continue for precisely 500m past it, and park off the L side of the road.

How to get to the rock
Walk L through a small swathe of pine trees, then trend up parallel to road for 50m or so, then head further L (away from road) into the scrub along flat, grassy ground. Locate the two hills ahead of you. Your goal is to continue walking south into the valley between them until spotting Dwarfland high up on the R hill (not the first bit of rock you see down low). Walking time 15 minutes.
