Please do not climb at Mangaokewa until further notice. Negotiations are under way with DOC and Iwi, climbing while the crag is closed will jeopardise any possible future access. Thank you.

Wall of Teeth
This section, on the second tier (just left of the Colesseum), has the highest
concentration of stalactites for the whole cliff. It starts just right of the top of
"Stairway to Heaven" and continues until the drop off at the Colesseum. It can
be accessed by climbing either "Punk Rockers" or "Diamond in the Rough" or
by using the access ladder (StH) just left of the Lower Lip Wall.
