Party - Bob, Dave
Above - The Grose Valley, looking towards Perrys Lookdown
Above - Bob on the traverse which follows a ledge of shale (the
Wentworth Falls Claystone)
Above - Thinsg get interesting at the westen end of the ledge - a
deep gulch - the "Devils Throat" must be negotiated. There are
several ledges at different levels that lead into the chasm, but
only one of these leads to a negotiable ledge out.
Above - this gulch is probably a dyke
Above - a nice pool of water
Above - Bob looking into the Devils Throat
Above - We eventually work out the right way to go - and find a
logbook left by Springwood Bushwalker Phil Foster.
