Strangely enough, the Western End is some way west of the lookout. East of the West is just west of the rock fall, and West of the West is even further west, past the small waterfall. If directionally challenged or desirous of personal wellbeing, stay in the comfort of your armchair and muse over these historical curiosities of a bygone era.
Discretion ensured: avoid the prying eyes of the many tourists at the Fairfax lookout.
From the east, step discretely over the lookout railing and head west along a faint clifftop track. Detour widely past the dramatic, extremely loose, and shattered 2016 rockfall, and just past it, as the cliff decreases in height, attain the rusted remnants of a manky fisherman's descent just east of the small waterfall.
From the west, follow the wall from behind the bus stop near the cafe down to the edge, then turn left along the cliff top.
Apparently boltless pure trad heaven ... get onto them, if the climbs are actually not now a home to eager barnacles.
