OPEN: Access is at risk.
Updated 5 October 2025, by Richard Thomson.

Mangorewa Gorge is open to climbing. The Rotorua Climbing Club and ACAT are working towards reaching an enduring agreement with DOC and Tapuika iwi. Please keep to the crag behaviour guide. Do not install any fixed hardware, and note any safety/hardware issues.

Left of the Chickenator. Start above the chain and climb though easy ground to the roof. Look for bolt over the roof to the left. Climb up towards the overhanging prow (crux) finish right at the shared anchor as the Chickenator extension. You can clip the Chickenator anchor and avoid the top moves for a grade 20, but you will miss the fun...
