  <text id="4" class="Discussion">The area is really a collection of boulders on the way up to the main Mt Amos cliff. They are, in the order the track passes them: The Alps, South Park and the imaginatively named Mt Amos Boulder .</text>
  <text id="5" class="heading3">The Alps</text>
  <text id="6" class="Discussion">A complex area of boulders with very easy access from the Wineglass Bay car park. From the car park follow the Mt. Amos track for around five minutes, until a short section of wooden duckboard is reached. To the right can be seen a large triangular shaped boulder, Matterhorn Rock, 100m or so away. To get there continue on the main track until a boulder is passed just on the right of the track. Turn off here and work your way up Matterhorn Rock. There are a large number of boulders in this area that show some potential for development.</text>
  <text id="82" class="text">Matterhorn Rock&lt;br/&gt;The largest boulder looks like its namesake. There is a U-bolt belay on top.</text>

The further right you go the easier it is. A single bolt belay exists at the top (to the extreme right of the face). It's not possible to rap the route to clean it from this bolt if you want to pull your rope.</climb>

  <text id="10" class="Discussion">Ten minutes along the Mt. Amos track the path ascends some easy slabs. At this point traverse right to the large boulder. The following climbs are on the west face and are easily identifiable by their bolts. To descend from the routes, or belay a second up, have your belayer tie the rope off to a tree behind the boulder as there is no gear on top. It's not as epic as it sounds, apparently, but putting lower-offs on sports routes is not a bad idea.</text>

  <text id="17" class="heading2">Mt Amos North Face</text>
  <text id="18" class="Discussion">This is the obvious big cliff which can be clearly seen from Coles Bay. To get there go up the tourist route to the summit of Amos until you reach the level of the bottom of the cliff and then traverse left around under the cliff. The point where you leave the tourist track is marked by a very definite short corner (Dogstyle). It takes ~30 minutes to reach the cliff and you can descend at either end of the cliff. A most varied bunch of routes generally less than 60m high and well protected for the Hazards, with several that are absolute crackers.</text>

A lot better than it looks like it's going to be when you're standing at the start. Gear is spaced at times but the climbing is easier when it is most run-out. Take a big rack, especially wires and very small up to medium cams. About 10m from the top the crack fuses and you step left out of the corner via a hole on the white water-steak; go left and up from there. Save a mid-sized cam or two for the top few metres.</climb>

  <text id="66" class="heading2">Mt Amos East Face</text>
  <text id="67" class="Discussion">Just southwest of the saddle between Dove and Amos is a high slabby broken cliff which was first ascended in 1976. I have no record of this route. This cliff can be reached by extrapolating along either the Windy Hill route or the Amos north face route.</text>
  <climb name="Weatherman" id="68" fa="N. Duhig, P.Jackson, Apr 1986." stars="" number="56." length="80m" guide.type="climb" guide.page="0" guide.id="63" guide.action="submit" grade="18" extra="">Start down the slope past an obvious overhang on the right hand side of this cliff.&lt;br/&gt;1. 48m. Straight up to a small fractured cave. Pull out left and go up narrow ramp to the faint line leading up and then to the right. Up thais and continue on the edge of the face to the right finishing up a small right facing corner.&lt;br/&gt;2. 32m. Move right onto the face and go up to the overhangs following them diagonally up out to the exit - all very easy and pleasant.</climb>
  <text id="85" class="text">In between the Amos East face and North face lies a 15m tall vertical wall surrounded by slabs on either side. Best accessed from the top by following the Mt Amos track to just before the summit and then cutting down the hillside in the direction of Mt Dove’s Trig point. Rap in or walk down either side.</text>
  <climb id="86" stars="" extra="" number="57." name="Lumpy Space Princess" length="20m" grade="16" fa="T Fulton, J Riaz, Feb 2022.">Start beneath the obvious featured arete. Climb the RHS of the arete until the first rooflet. Turn the arete to the LHS and continue up the diagonal to the top.</climb>
  <climb id="87" stars="*" extra="" number="58." name="Wishful Thinking" length="15m" grade="18" fa="T Fulton, J Riaz, Feb 2022.">As for LSP but continue up the RHS to climb through the two rooflets and mount the jug. Sew up crack with your smallest wires before teetering up the arete using side pulls and chicken heads.</climb>
