Gecko Wall Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

approach

Park at the Echo Valley campsite (the access road is on the limit of the ground clearance for a standard vehicle). Walk towards the campsite bathrooms and pass the windmill to find the start of the trail which leads into the valley. Approximately 5 mins along this trail a sign marks where you turn right to head up the ridge line, following a vague path, guided by fairly regular cairns. Towards the top of the ridge, the path moves left over the rock bands and onto a fairly steep slope. Continue following the path, and when you crest the top of the slope, the crag is visible to your right.
