About Freycinet — The Hazards

The Hazards are the pink granite peaks above Coles Bay in Freycinet National Park, with long slabby multi-pitch trad routes up to 300m on the Hazards Main Wall. Walk 30–50 minutes from the Sleepy Bay car park. The walls face north and get plenty of sun, so the cooler months are best. The granite is never slimy, but polished rock is very slippery straight after rain; give it time to dry. Descents can be long, so don't get caught out in the dark. Some old bolts date from the 1980s and 90s. A Tasmanian Parks Pass is required.
