Wishbone Falls

Type

An amazingly scenic crag with great climbing on hard black rock. Many of the routes are multi-pitch, adding to the attraction. The cliff is exposed to the wind and it gets mighty hot in full summer sun.

Access

This crag is on private farmland. There is no vehicle access; don’t block the farm gate and do not disturb stock. Drive about 3km past the swing bridge crossing the river, until you spot the big split waterfall, south of the road next to a large hunk of roofy black and white rock. It’s about another 3km from here to the road end at Raspberry Flat. From the farm gate northeast of the crag, walk towards the waterfall for about 300m, and then up a short slope with boulders and scrub to the base of the cliff.
