Balance Bridge Area

Type
Part of

Balance bridge offers the best "ground up" climbing in the gorge. The Corner- In between Red Block and the Main Wall is a short, steep and blank face. If the landing was better it would be a great boulder problem! The Main Wall- This one is fairly obvious..... it is the big cliff right along the water.

Access

Unlike the
White Horse Rapids area, it is possible to walk to the base of most of the
routes at the bridge (depending on how high the river is). It is also a bit
different as that the rock there is limestone as apposed to greywhake. The
bridge is located 6.6km from the start, and signifies the end of the gorge.
