Redledge Pass
|
Maps: Katoomba 89301S GR: 470 625 Track Notes: Comments: Redledge Pass was used by miners from the Glen Shale Mine to get to and from Katoomba. It is a long pass with several distinct sections. The pass descends a long slot from Narrow Neck Plateau into a hanging valley formed by Corral Creek. It crosses the creek and emerges from the western side of the valley onto a wide ledge. There is Log Book in a tin here. The pass continues west along the ledge for about 250 metres. There are some quite narrow sections of track in this section and some exposure. There are 2 possible routes through the final cliff line. The first route passes under a large rock and descends a well worn track through a deep, reentrant slot. The second route is about 25 metres further west and is very steep, also through a reentrant slot. Both emerge on the same ledge below the cliff line. Relics from the Glen Shale Mine are at the bottom of the scree slope below Redledge Pass. |
