Looming up a shady gully, this crag is perfect for when it’s too hot and/or you’ve worked through the other Mt Iron crags. It’s Next Level in terms of local geography and industrial cleaning techniques – fortunately Milo was well equipped for the latter.
Located off the summit walking track. From the Old Racecourse Rd track access, turn left, walk 200m and then turn right up the summit walking track. After some stairs, there is a right hairpin corner with two boulders on the left. The two boulders are the start of the climbing trail. Follow this left then turn up the gully – it is 6–8 minutes to Next Level from the DOC track.
DOC requires climbers’ access be not obvious to the general public, so it’s important that people don’t shortcut from below the stairs. Especially bear this in mind when descending as a short cut has built up that is tempting to take and has become visible from the DOC track. Please don’t use it.
