Mt Horrible is a small but quality trad crag close to Timaru. The basalt here is of good quality, and the climbing has an abundance of cracks of all sizes from fingers to off-width.
The crag is almost exclusively trad, with very few bolts, and the cracks being quite parallel tend to lend themselves to camming devices and not so much to nuts
The landowners are Penny and David Seyb, though the land is currently leased and managed by Geoff Hayward. They have kindly granted climbers access and there is no need to contact them before climbing but please observe the usual courtesies and show respect while on their land. Please do NOT climb here during lambing season (Aug-Oct).
Search for Mt Horrible Road (which is a long dead end road), drive about 5km (up the hill and a few hundred meters after the seal ends) until you come to a gate in the middle of a tall tree hedge on your left. Park your car off the side of the road, being aware not to block the gate. Walk southwest-ish for about 500m through farm paddocks (please stick to the fence lines and do not walk on the crops) and head for the pine trees which mark the edge of Mt Horrible. The climbing is under one significant large pine tree.
