The cliff remains dry for most of the year (except June/July) but comes into its own on the hot summer days when most of the paddock level crags are getting scorched by the sun. Trees at the base give shade from the summer sun.
Most of the routes are 25m plus on rock consistent with that of The Bakehouse cliff band with grades ranging from 13–22. Brummy boasts the longest paddock-level two pitch route in Wānaka. Bring 10 quick draws and a 60m rope.

Walking to the right along the base of the cliff and past the bivy cave until you can swing up and round to a grassy ledge where you will find A great beginner two pitch (13/17) climb.
