Shakey Town

(9 routes)

Slightly overhanging to vertical rock, the southern aspect protects it often from rain. The rock here is very suspect and must be treated with caution.

Mt Cook Village, start as for the Red Tarns track but instead of crossing the bridge follow the Black Birch Stream for about 2 minutes (stay on the true left of the stream). It's the same place as the Shaky Town Traverse.

Tricky start move leads to fun climbing on some of the better rock on the cliff, although that doesn't say much. There is a half way anchor often used for SAR training.
