Easby View Quarry

Map Reference: NZ591097 

This small quarry is about 320m S.S.E of Captain Cook’s Monument and few metres below the main footpath which slants down the hill (a small holly bush above the quarry is a useful marker). The routes reach a maximum height of 5m, and offer a few lower grade problems in a quiet spot with a superb outlook. Only the best of the many variations are included here. The climbs are described left to right.

 

1. Bewit   4m   VD

The slabby aręte on the left side of the quarry.

 

2. Lure   5m       VD

Gain the obvious shelf on the left side of the main wall and follow the ramp rightwards.

 

3. Hawkeye   5m   4c

Ascend the old peg crack with interest. Sandy jamming!

 

4. Falco   5m   5a 

Climb the wall and rock scar just right of Hawkeye.

 

5. Eyasses   5m   4c

The crack in the aręte.

 

6. Jesses   4m   VD

The aręte on its slabby right side.

 

Just to the right is Easy Crack, a convenient descent route.

 

A few metres to the right, is a smooth compact wall.

 

7. Gyr   5m   5a

Gain a small shelf then climb the centre of the smooth wall. Delicate.

 

8. Wild Side   4m   S

The awkward chimney.

 

9. Antz   4m   HS

Climb the wall to the right of the chimney.
