Access

From central Wānaka drive 18km to Hospital Flat, then another kilometre or two past it to the bridge over the Motatapu River. Immediately after the bridge, turn left into a small gravel quarry and drive up the hill to a grassy field overlooking the river.
The furthest left of the crags on the carpark side of the river, the easiest access is by taking the track down to the river and wading up. Otherwise abseil from Riverside.
