Resumen

Ignimbrita

Once permission is obtained, drive past Waipari (Froggatt Edge on Whataruri road) we are rapid number 544 and Dairy # 74667, on the right hand side of the road. Stop at the house for instructions.

Descripción

How far you walk Depends on the track conditions and your vehicle. At the most it is a 20 minute walk to the nearest cliff. In the dry summer with a AWD car I let you drive within 5 minutes of the crags. An easy bush track follows the Waipari Stream to get between cliffs. There is a long drop toilet near the picnic / swimming hole area. Normally I like to show people the way if it is your first time.

Restricciones

You will need to be a bit organised to climb at Shawthing Rock… Ring/text at least a day before to book in (not after 9pm please), it’s a working farm; there may be hazards to tell you about.
