Waimak Whale Crag

Part of

Whale Crag is located 2km west of Anti-Crow Hut, on the true-right of the Waimak, below point 951. The crag offers nice slab and shallow crack climbing with low grades. The setting is very beautiful and it escapes some Divide weather. The lower routes are surprisingly sheltered from the wind.

I strongly suspect that this crag is NOT on the true right of the Anticrow River and is actually situated below spot height 951m, 2km west of the Anticrow hut and 600m west of the Anticrow river.
