Comments: There is a sport bolted crack to the right of "The Apple Bites Back".... I believe the climb described here was retrobolted.

Comments: As of 4/28/13, the anchor has only one hanger and is not equipped for rappel (except for my friend's bail biner). Be careful out there, folks!

Comments: Second bolt would be pretty scary if you're 5'3" like me. You'd have to pull some committing moves with ground fall potential. I was happy to be on toprope for this one.

Comments: September 21, 2008 two Japanese climbers were stung extensively while doing the original route (not the "50 Crowded Variation".) Apparently there is a beehive in the chimneys, though they didn't say which pitch. Beware!

(If you must stop in Mot, there's a darling little independent theatre, I think it's called the Gecko or something like that.) You'll go up and over the Takaka Hill (bring water for your radiator if you car is so inclined). Driving time from Nelson is about ... more >>
