Any details about the difficulty of a Rum Jungle descent via Barney Gorge given the landslide. I’ve not done Barney Gorge before and it’s a route I was planning to do in a few weeks. Up Logan’s down the Gorge. But I’ve read a couple of comments online of a significant landslide in the Gorge in early 2018 as has been mentioned in this thread. Any comments appreciated.
Hard and scary. The steep slabs are scattered with precarious boulders the size of fridges, just waiting to come down. If you are comfortable rockclimbing, the eastern part of the gorge offers cleaner and more protected going but you'll need to negotiate the dogleg of the gorge and that is basically scrambling up the landslide dirt, trying to avoid dislodging boulders. That was last year so things may have stabilized now, but I found this section the hardest to climb on any Barney routes so far, given the landslide. But the rest of the route is pleasant and very scenic. If you're looking for an alternative, I suggest Rocky creek from East-North peak saddle.
