Description Suggest change

This prominent rock can be easily seen from the road. It is just 100 yards are so south of Black Dog Rock. There is a well marked trail linking the two adjacent rocks, and each rock has its own approach trail.

This crag is included in the "Rock Climbing Guide to Matakat Road", a pamphlet style guide that is available at climbingpamphlet.com.
