Split Rock

Split Rock  - Mount Hobbs 

Tuesday 22 September 2026 

 This walk was from near Levendale and up an old logging road where there was plenty of evidence of past logging, but the forest had recovered fairly well. The road got steeper in the upper part of Mount Hobbs until the junction to Split Rock was reached.   At this point the understory was not thick and passage along a clear pad, marked with ribbons, was easy. It ended at the split with one end relatively easy to enter and the other end is a tight scrambling heave. The floor of the split seemed to be more of a slope than on the previous visit in 2023 and the squeeze to get out harder.
 
The summit of Mount Hobbs was not far away, and we went there after but was not an attractive sight with numerous communication towers.
 
 
It was 8.7k for the day and took 4:20.
