Redledge Pass
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.
