‘Andy Macfarlane was on the phone, excited: “I’ve just seen the biggest unclimbed slab in Australasia and we’re going to put a route up the middle of it.”’
— Dave Brash, New Zealand Alpine Journal, 2001
This impressive feature of tilted greywacke is separated from the main wall at the top and is free of stone-fall danger except in the white corner and around the scree gully at its base.
Descent is possible from the top of the slab via fixed rap points (lower section equipped in 2021).
Access
The slab can be approached by climbing one of the two-pitch routes on the Half Moon Slab or via an easy gully in front of Half Moon Slab.
