Far Side

Type
Sector
Part of
Motatapu

A high concentration of quality routes with a few slabs, but mostly on steep, good quality and well-featured rock. A peaceful setting for early climbing in the sun or to wind down away from the crowds in the evening.

Access

About 500m after the Motatapu bridge, there is a crag by the road and carpark on the right. This is Roadside Attraction. Cross the fence at the stile, and if you follow the trail left up onto the next terrace, Al Cove and then Farside are within 300m. See, not that far actually. They’re described from left (i.e. furthest from the road) to right. There is a toilet just up on the terrace 100m left of the stile. No camping and no fires are allowed.
