Didn't actually make it to the crag, writing this for future people trying to acçess as we found it really hard today, as the directions to get to the crag parking are quite bad and we wasted lots of time trying to find the correct place. You want to drive on old Christchurch road to these coordinates -42.7330466, 171.2097620 then if coming from hokitika turn right onto a gravel road. This road will take you to the weir at Kawhaka intake. You can also access old Christchurch road from Arthur's pass. From here the path is pretty obvious, it says follow for 5.5km but we found that using the bike track km markers it was more like 4.5km, the turn off track onto the old mossy road is now marked with a small cairn we made and is after the 53km marker, if you get to the 54km marker you've gone to far. This walk is probably 45 mins. From here there is a trodden path up to the clearing where another cairn is and you can see the red marker to start the next section. This doesn't take long. This next section is super steep and the closest thing you could get to bush whacking without the whacking, it takes around 2 hours and is pretty strenuous. Once you get to the top of this section you will be able to see the crag in the distance, we ended up having to stop here as we reckoned the traverse to the crag would have taken another 30-60 minutes and it was getting late in the day and we did not want to attempt the descent in darkness. Overall I reckon the entire approach would take between 3.5-4 hours. The view from the top was incredible so glad we did the hike but definitely wished there were some clearer approach notes for this crag! I think being tourist not knowing the area, it was hard to pinpoint the parking location as nothing comes up on Google maps. Also knowing the rough approach time would be helpful. I hope this is informative.

Was raining hard at this point and this route doesn't stay dry, unlike the others to the left. Had to pull through the crux as the key holds were wet
