NOTE THAT THIS CRAG HAS BEEN CLOSED BY THE LANDOWNER.
MANY OF THE CLIMBS HAVE HAD HANGERS REMOVED TO DISCOURAGE CLIMBERS FROM NOT OBSERVING THE CLOSURE.
The crag is located on the south side of the Summit Road in a gut overlooking the Governors Bay Road. The main wall is around twenty metres high and the rock is typical Port Hills volcanic rock, lichen covered, course grained and fairly compact. The West (main) Face is not too steep but as you go towards the south end of the main face the crag changes in nature becoming undercut & then overhanging around on the South Face. The majority of the climbs were done by Simon Courtois & Tony Burnell.
