50m max drop (2x 60m ropes)

9-10hrs total: 2hr + 1h15 / 4-5hr / 2hr (Approach/Descent/Return)

Public Access

Long and scenic, with some big pitches. In some places open and sunny, in others narrow and dark. Well worth the long walk in.

The hanging valley above is rumoured to be the last place that kakapo were found in the wild in mainland NZ.

First descent (lower section): Will Hamilton and Jona Schmutzer.
First descent (upper and lower sections): Patrick Timm, Alex Motyka, Conor Handley, Sach Knight, and Christian Miller, Jan 2025.

The 3-4 big pitches above the starting pool are still undescended…

Thanks to Christian Miller for the topo and Patrick Timm for the images
