About Lost World (kunanyi / Mt Wellington)

Lost World is a dolerite crag on the east side of Mount Arthur on kunanyi / Mt Wellington above Hobart, with steep crack climbing plus arêtes and faces on columns up to 30m, trad and bolted (about 80 routes including New World, Test World and Micro World). From the small Big Bend car park, about 9.5km up Pinnacle Road from Fern Tree, it's a fairly flat 15-minute walk. It faces east and gets the morning sun, is often warmer than the Organ Pipes and is relatively sheltered. At 1,100m, be ready for any season: sleet, snow and cold southerlies can arrive quickly. Don't descend the central gully, which is loose and eroded.

Region: Tasmania
Rock type: Dolerite
