Summary

The distinct ‘finger’ of granite which extends out of the slopes above Eagle Rock.

Description

Currently The Finger has only one long traditional route up it’s slabby face but has the potential for several hard traditional lines on its overhanging face. It’s understood some of the low-angled slabs around The Finger have been climbed by Peter O’Neill and party.

Access issues inherited from Borland Valley

From early May to mid October, the road to the Borland crags is closed. Though winter here is not suitable for cragging due to seepage. But for those determined enough, a bike can be ridden up the road.

Approach

As for Eagle Rock, then up tussock slopes.

Ethic inherited from Borland Valley
