Type:
Wall
Aspect:
West
Access:
Access is from the top. The only easy way to the top is at the far left-hand end of the crag, from
here make your way back along the top to the end paddock. A rough track, which starts
by a couple of Manuka trees, leads out onto the top of the buttress. Either abseil in (DBC
belay) or make your way down the access gully past Supa Mira Fiori and Slacker, and
around to the front of the buttress. The climbs are described from the far left hand end

On an early visit to the area (before the track was cut), and after an hour of
struggling through the gorse, box-thorn, and blackberry, soloing a grade 14
chimney was a very attractive means of escape. A nice chimney, but unprotected
except for the first couple of bolts of As Good As It Gets.

Go for a heinous dyno to start - if the ground erodes you can add a grade or two!

A prominent corner and slab 50m to the right of the gully. So called when a supposed easy slab turned into something harder. Bolts??
