Knuckles Traverse Pass

This is not an obvious pass in that it crosses the escarpment at a very low lying, grassy plateau that is dwarfed by the Devil's Knuckles themselves, yet it does cross the range and the border.  The summit of the pass is labelled as 1 in the photo below taken from Tarn Cave:


The summit of the pass could be reached through a number of approach routes from the valleys below, but an established track leads to the summit by traversing below the Knuckles - hence the suggested name of Knuckles Traverse Pass. Very roughly speaking the track runs at the height of the label 1 in the photo.  It wasn't a well worn path when I did it, more of a track, but definitely an established route and easy walking. The route is very scenic and can easily be combined with one of the other passes around the Knuckles as a day outing from Tarn Cave.

There are more than just two... I've done this route a few times and don't think I've ever stuck to one path, just go with whichever looks stronger until it dies, then look up and down for the next best path.
Lots of livestock wander around there, so it can be quite a maze, but it's not difficult to see where to go as long as you have some visibility.
When in doubt stay high as some paths would lead to the lower berg
