History

The area was first approached from Booroomba Station. However, it was not until Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, and the associated Apollo Road, was opened, that the area became feasible as a climbing area. Booroomba's first climb was the solo Aitchison's needle, climbed in 1966 by Peter Aitchison.
