A tasty little gem hidden amongst the bush with awesome steep, juggy climbing. (about 10 metres high) a few hundred metres up the Punakaiki Valley Road of immaculate compact limestone complete with sheltered grassy belay ledge. It has a northwesterly aspect for warm, sunny climbing. The crag was discovered in 2008 by Jack Grinsted and Lindsay Main.
