I had to visit the upper mountains for other reasons for a couple of hours this day. So rather than waste my time in the mountains, I figured a revisit of this route the opposite way round to the last time I did it was in order. The Devils Hole is a steep narrow clevis in the cliffs, with some large rocks forming a roof. It is probably the quickest way into the Megalong Valley from Katoomba. I was fascinated to find some water flowing out of a cave in the wall of the 'Hole', see the picture below. Navigation is a little tricky after emerging from the Hole, there are several tracks that peter out, otherwise it was straight forward, if a little steep, made a bit slipperier with the misty rain on the day.
