WARNING 8 September 2016 (copied from post on Christchurch Climbing Facebook page): Notice for climbers about Hanging Rock, South Canterbury.

There has been a significant outcrop collapse at the east end of the outcrop row on Gould's property at Hanging Rock. Advice from geologists is that the rock fall has not yet finished, and may have rendered other nearby outcrops dangerous as well. The climbing areas known as 'East End' and 'Jungleland' is now very unsafe for climbing, or accessing at all - including walking below or above the outcrops in the area.

PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THIS AREA AS IT IS VERY UNSAFE.
