This is a small wall located at the far right end of Whakapapa Crag. It’s about a 15min walk from Whakapapa ski field base, and the wall faces ENE so sees good morning sun. It’s a great little crag for teaching/learning climbing, especially when combined with Halfmoon crag 100m away.
There are access bolts on a small but easily accessible ledge at the top which allow you to safely access most of the anchors for setting up top-ropes with groups. Just be aware as it is a narrow-ish ledge, but there are bolts you can clip into at the start of the ledge (the narrowest bit) which you can also use to access the bolts for Dissident. Even Flow has its own access bolts. All climbs are bolted for people learning to lead, and all anchors have lower off rings.
Climbs are described from left to right.
