Description:
Face Wet in rain Afternoon sun

A great sector with two distinct walls. The limestone is generally good quality. In winter the wall gets great sun in the afternoon, but ice cold in the morning. Certainly a nice place to finish the day. In summer, morning is the charm.

Access Issues: inherited from The Airstrip

Private Land.

Please observe the NZAC sign posted at the entrance to the farm. A $5 donation is suggested for bouldering trips.

Approach:

Ethic: inherited from The Airstrip

No Chipping. Chalk is OK.
