Location of this crag was
Location of this crag was hard to come by. We accessed recently for a great climb.
There is a reasonably well trodden and marked track up the true right of the southern most branch of the south temple stream.
In the upper reaches there is also tape marking the route.
The crag is located on the northern most pk1975 (there are 2). The slabs are on the NW aspect.
There is a great bivvy spot where the drainage from Mt maitland and the tarns meet, below a waterfall at 1540m
