A cave near the far (north) end of the crag.
The first nine routes on this wall have been erased because the Christchurch Adventure Park chairlift passes directly overhead, and the CAP operating procedures do not allow climbing below it because of the risk of an object (ie mountain bike) falling from the lift.
All hangers and anchors have been removed in this area, except for a couple of rusty hangers on the lower part of a route which cannot be easily accessed.
Do not climb in this area, and do not attempt to re-establish these routes, or set new routes, as this may lead to the ongoing closure of the crag for climbing.

Climb a steep juggy wall past a bolt to the right and up to a small roof. Pull through onto a slabby section (dirty and poor rock), and climb on to a short arete below the roof. Move right to clip the last bolt, which is totally hidden about a metre below the finish, and pull over for a surprisingly painless exit. Anchor rings. .

We're working on it but
We're working on it but nothing is open yet. Our focus is the left (south) end of the crag.
Hi Lindsay. I see that you
Hi Lindsay. I see that you have just made a number of updates to Transmitter Crag information, especially the Goat Cave. Does that mean there has been any word on access? Thanks.
