Access is from the same track as for the Pacifica wall. At the entrance to that track, turn left immediately and follow a vague track south through the bush then west down an obvious drainage line.

The left of two excellent routes on this aesthetic undercut wall. Both routes start from the same belay on the obvious chockstone feature, ~18m abseil down at the base of an obvious pillar (ignore the old anchor out to the side, which will be removed at some stage). From the belay, climb up to the peapod feature. Above this, increasingly difficult moves build to a staunch crux, with a few more tricky moves just below the lip.
