CLOSED: Closed until further notice. Please do not climb here.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.
Lower Lip Wall- This section starts on the lower tier, just left of the
Coliseum
at the big overhang and finishes at the "Stairway to Heaven" access ladder.
This access point was established after one too many people got sick of just scrambling up the original fixed rope. It is an easy climb up fixed staples but for those who are unsure of themselves, feel free to place a few draws on the "ladder" rungs and treat it as a lead climb. There is a single anchor on top to belay from.
