Description

One of the most popular routes at Kawakawa Bay, for good reason. The first pitch is nothing special, but the second, third and view from the top more than make up for it.

  1. Climb the dirty slab to the cave. Belay from the mouth of the cave. 17, 30m
  2. Traverse left through the cave. Climb out through the roof to a belay. 16, 12m
  3. Venture out over the roof and into steep terrain. 19, 18m.

Descent:

  1. Freehanging rappel into the gully just below the mouth of the cave. This rappel is long, a 60m rope barely makes it. Make sure you put knots in your rope.
  2. Rappel once more to reach the ground.
