Early mornings do offer a little bit of shade, but not for long - best wait for cloudy / cold days to venture here.

All of the routes require an abseil access, so be on the lookout for abseil points.

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
  • 300m past the GYM you will arrive at The Time Bomb Block - a volleyball-sized seemingly detached section of the cliff face.
