Part of

The Little Eiger Wall is a 10m Eiger N face look alike, containing the first five routes listed. Just around to the right, but included in this section is Dwarf Wall, with three routes, the last being Cattlestop Cowboy. Immediately right of this, and also included here, is Will and Dave's Wall, named to commemorate two mountain guides. Will and Dave's Wall is in two sections - the first above a large boulder, and the second to the right on a green lichen-covered wall immediately behind the now redundant Christchurch City Council sign. Each section of this wall has three routes.

Hi Lindsay, I’ve been putting a full guide together for Britten, but for Dwarf & CPW I am only putting a Topo and will add them to the Cattle Stop Guide next update.

After Justin added some routes here under the above name as part of Cattlestop, not realising that the crag was listed for Britten Crags under the Dwarf Wall name, I decided to redraw the boundary at Couch Potato Wall.

I’ll try again without the history background, maybe it would be better if Dwarf Wall and Couch Potato wall were integrated into the overall Cattlestop area and not the Britten Crag area?

This wall, as shown in the picture above, is actually part of Dwarf Wall and forms part of the Britten Crag section, some of the trad lines were climbed by Joe Arts, Lindsay Main and Marcus a few years previous to the date of 2016 as indicated above.
