Trench town

Type
Part of

Walk along the road towards Port Tarakohe from the left end of the Seagrass Wall (see map) about 50 metres. At the huge yellow overhang over the road scramble up the bank and follow the cliff north for approx 100m until you come to a small gully between the cliff and a detached block. There is some interesting red rock and stalactites here.

4B Right -most line and the first you come to. Start on some slightly dubious rock at the bottom of the gully. Things steepen to a final groove. 4B and fixed thread.
