Monday Wall
So named when both Bryce and Michael threw sickies after a wet weekend. Perfect
weather, a new wall with five new climbs on it, and the fact that Cliff was stuck at work
after driving around all weekend in search of dry rock, left an indelible memory.
From River Wall follow the farm track along the river to a set of double gates. Monday
Wall is about 200m away on the left on the other side of a swamp. Monday Wall is the
East facing wall you walk up to.
