Description

The first area on the sunny side of the cliff line, basically one of the lowest crags. I think the only crag that comes close is sunset wall which is a northish facing wall.

Great rock, great stuff to be found at this wall. Many people give it a pass due to it being usually a bit busier and has less in the higher grades. However, I would say this is a very worth crag in it's own right. The stone is excellent and the routes are great.

Getting There

After the initial turnoff, you will get to the riverbed. Follow this up to a set of cairns on the left which will go into some trees. Once there are stump (man made) steps, you are there. The wall is very long.
