Steep

These crags give a wild sense of adventure with minimal effort of approach. They all feel exposed, especially the abseil-access routes with a host of forgotten gems as far as good quality climbing goes!

Other than The Gym, the entire Triple Tier is fantastic for those cold days where lots of sun is in order.

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
