Being in the narrows of the gorge and directly above the water, the GYM is excelent for those hot days, especially so as the main pool is deep enough to jump into from the rocks

Approach
As at 2020 the agreed approach is through the Tegwan Country Getaway farm. The owners are climbers so if they are around, be friendly and say hi - better yet, stay there!
From the designated parking inside the main house, follow the signs to a path which loops around the small dam beneath the swimming pool and up to a quaint section through fruit trees to a small gate.
- Go through the gate, keeping to the high trail
- At the fork take the left path (Restaurant / Waterfall) heading down toward the stream
- The path doubles back near the river then splits again
- Take the right hand split to gain access to the top of the cliffband staying on the same side of the river as Tegwan
- The Crags are all reached from this path starting with the GYM
