Blacks Ladder
[edit]I deleted this section as it is incorrect Blacks Ladder was first opened up to the public as a "tourist track" in 1924, then referred to as Devil's Hall.[1]
The name 'Blacks Ladder' has been applied to several passes in the area. From discussion on a bushwalkers forum https://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=18149 I believe the term used to mean any pass where a fallen tree was used to aid ascent/descent through a small cliffline.
The article linked to above is describing the area now known as "The Devils Hole" which (before the 1930s) required using such a fallen tree to get over a large boulder. The boulder was removed by blasting. Jonnosan (talk) 17:13, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
