Description

Decent climbing on schist with fantastic views of Lake Wakatipu. Grades 5.6 - 5.10c are available at this wall. There is a lot of loose rock here, helmets are recommended.

Getting There

The approach is short but steep. The approach begins on the Arawata Terrace trail—typing "Arawata Track" in Google Maps will take you straight to the trailhead. Parking is available on Moss Lane. From the Arawata Track sign, continue on the trail for approximately five minutes until you see a trail that branches out and upward to the right. You'll know you're on the right path when you pass a powerline box with a Deuter sticker on the side. The trail will take you directly to the crag. For moderately paced hikers, the approach will take around 15 minutes. Once you reach the top of the trail, Lower Tier is the crag to the left.
