Found 200 metres right of Punk Rock.
This crag illustrates the dangers of letting two under-employed local near-pensioners loose with a drill. Until this frenzied burst of choss removal and drilling the only noteworthy route on the crag was Ray's "Out with the Missus" although there were rumours of other developments. The archeological diggings did reveal hints of homo climberus activities but no clay tablets designating the routes were unearthed, so until proved otherwise, this will have to stand as the definitive document. All of the climbs are bolt protected and equipped with double bolt anchors. They are designed to be led as approach from the top is not to be recommended. Most of the climbs have had a second ascent to try to confirm the grades. The crag gets early sun and is sheltered from the NW and not too cold in a southerly.
Approach
Drive or bus to Sumner then take the first path to the Capt Thomas Track off Wakefield Ave. Where the track levels one gets a good view of the tree and slab. Cross the first fence at dug steps by a large pine and the next fence where it suits.
