About 25 min walk from the entrance to Barnett Park taking the true right of the stream and following the track along the side of the hill. This wall is just past The Other Cave.

Set in a lovely spot looking down over Lyttelton Harbour and Governors Bay. The crag is sunny until early afternoon, is sheltered from the southerly but not so if from the North-West.

A recently developed wall currently sporting four bolted routes. Names, grade, FAs unknown. Easy slab climbing likely in the 9-12 grade range.

Shares first bolt as Cold Ground before moving directly up above ledge. Crux fall could land you on ledge.

Destroyed during the earthquakes.

Cool route up overhang.

Bouldery start on slopers to easier finish.

Climb under the overhang, squeeze out left, use crack system and follow line of bolts.

Start as for ‘XX’, after staple 3 step L into a short black groove, go up the groove & across the slab to the roof below the central groove, hard moves into & out of the groove to land on a ledge with an old lower off.

Start immediately right of Ground Zero, with a staple for the first bolt. Follow a line of FHs up a series of ledges to reach a hanging scoop. Surmount the morpho crux and continue easily to the Ground Zero anchor.

Start up ‘Ground Zero’ for the first three bolts then break left onto the blank wall.
