Pinnacle - Lower Sunnyside

Type
Altitude
1m

Still the epicentre of Dunedin rockclimbing, a serendipitous combination of superb microclimate, white sand and easy access to consumer classics attracts hordes of top-ropers on a sunny weekend, while the rest of the crag can remain deserted.
DDB’s service nearly all the climbs. Usual access to the top is via the Overkill or Rhubarb gullies or the Seabird arete. If you solo these access routes to set up top - ropes, remember that these are all graded climbs on often less than perfect rock. The Sunnyside is continually shedding rock, especially from higher up - helmets are a very good idea when there is heavy traffic on the crag.

Just right of the start of Aliesha is this ideal first lead or top rope climb.
