Hidden Wall

A gem of a crag discovered by Murray Judge on an exploratory trip along the base of the Long Beach cliff line. Hidden from sight behind an elderberry thicket, it has produced a clutch of classic lines on mostly brilliant quality rock. It appears that the crag very seldom gets wet; consequently grit from the breccia walls above settles on exposed edges making the crag a bit dusty. The routes aren't particularly long but this shortfall is more than compensated for by marvelous climbing. Head into the macrocarpa forest via a track on the Sunny Side of the Pinnacle. Follow the track through the forest for about 150 metres (fluoro paint dots on tree trunks) veering leftwards towards the cliff face then drop down into the native bush, walking through a sticky bit of track, and turn right when you hit the base of the cliff line. Continue until the crag appears. The area is prone to the odd falling rock from the choss above, particularly when windy. Staying close to the wall and keeping your helmet on are good ideas.
