Access issues inherited from Wharepapa Rock

The crag facilities take time and money to maintain. If you climb, you pay, no exceptions.

Recreational climbers do not need to call ahead before visiting but must pay the daily access fee. Payment is cash-only at the crag, or by bank transfer to account 03 1399 0073627 00 - reference: your name and "day pass".

Guided or commercial groups (including school groups) must book in advance by emailing wharepaparock@gmail.com.

The crag is on private farmland - please obey a few simple rules:

  • Ensure all gates are left as they were found and are properly latched. If you open a gate, you close it.
  • Do not climb over fences, this can slacken the wires.
  • Climb safely and responsibly.
  • Strictly no dogs.
