interesting, see the ladder up the side of the hill. wonder why?

Myron Caldwell
Pam Englefield-Absolum possibly because someone wanted to climb it. They did not have theorists back then...they just did things

Trish Rennie
Myron Caldwell looks like near the start of the gorge…can see the creek bed to left of the pic

Pam Englefield-Absolum
Myron Caldwell climb to shift rocks that might fall

Bruce Whitfield
Pam Englefield-Absolum may have been to check for any rocks in the bushes, or even to dislodge them for safety reasons. Just imagine the hard labour involved in this road formation.
