Charge down to Cape Shank. Located between Flinders and Gunna. Walk along the track towards Gunna. Walk 20 mins scale down 400m hilly cliff down. Follow your eyes you can see it from the top! Experienced only. If you hurt yourself you won’t be walking out. You will hurt yourself getting in and out, it’s hell. It takes close to an hour to get back to the car park...if you’re hurt you may have to be air lifted.... There is nothing around but cliff and rock. So have fun and charge hard.....
