These extremely steep routes are on good rock, but can be affected by water seepage and some grime. The crag is at its best (and driest) in summer. The river level tends to be lower then too. Avoid this area if you are hydrophobic.

Approach

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. Take the track down to the river from the carpark, and cross the river.
