Access
The upper crags are slightly more quickly accessed from the right (looking up from the carpark) side of the Highside Loop Track, but if wet or for the descent many people prefer the drier and less steep left side. Take your pick.
Caution If kārearea (falcons) object to climbers during spring, they will be nesting, so please choose a different crag.
