Big Overhang Access: Route C
Approach: Follow the same route as for Bald Face, until about 15m before Porcupine Col. Branch off right and follow the descent path for Bald Face, until it is possible to traverse easily across giant ivy-covered boulders to the base of the cliff.
The approach is the longest and hardest of any of the cliffs at Luskville. Allow 30 to 35 minutes, plus lots of effort, from the road.
Character: Big Overhang is, as the name suggests, an impressive piece of rock. It is situated immediately to the right (east) of, and above Bald Face.
The routes are described from left to right. They are all quite obvious, by virtue of their abundant fixed ironmongery.
