A close perusal of my topo indicated this should be accessible from Leonay, and indeed it was.
I parked at the cul de sac in Lapstone Place, then followed the very distinct but quite rough track that starts in the gap between the houses there and follows the river along to Glenbrook Creek. I have followed this path many times on caching business. There were a lot of lizards making the most of the late afternoon sun, and as I reached the rocks at the confluence of Glenbrook Creek, I saw what looked like an obviously fake green rubber snake lying on the path.
It blinked, then quickly slithered away.
I was a little shaken as I hopped over the creek, there I found a faint footpad occasionally marked with small cairns. Before long I was underneath a cliff line, where a log below a dangling nylon rope indicated a way up. Once up the rope, there was a bit of a scramble, then a metal ladder, then finally I was up at the trig. I admired the view, then retraced my steps.
Total trip time: 90 minutes. A good adventure.
