Accès: Waitawheta track access closed due to rock fall

The crown tram track up the Waitawheta gorge that is the usual access for the Gorge climbing area is closed due to a significant rockfall. Locals still use the route (a couple gates to jump and slip to scramble over) but could be risky in rain or wind. A high route exits on the true right bank - take the windows walk track and find a small steep track 50m before the first 'windows tunnel'. This joins a good traverse track that goes under the Khan buttress and comes out at the Prelude Buttress under the route 'Shade of things to come'. Update: The windows track is now reopened, hopefully permanently, making this the easiest access.

description

This route routes breaks through the overhang above the pipeline at the last bend before the bridge. Aid the overhang using 2 bolts. Once a second overhang is reached climb directly up on good gear. Follow grooves and slabs by the easiest line until you can move left onto a ledge. This is shared with the top of the second pitch of Berkeley Square.
