A Climber's Guide to the Glasshouses

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. About 400m past this, there is a Forestry road on the right, with a small trail bike track directly opposite on the left. Park here.

How to get to the rock
The bike trail leads up a low hill. I would recommend walking up this for 100-200m then peeling off left through the bush. Expect knee high grass, small water courses and tree trunks to negotiate. Head in between two low hills for 300-400m until you pass the thick scrub and enter a fairly clear grass valley. You will clearly see Dwarfland up on the right hillside. Walk is 15 minutes if you don't get lost.
