Eagle Gorge | Rock Climbing
Please note that the exact location can’t be given as access is extreme sensitive.
There are a about 39 traditional trad lines. Set in a very scenic wilderness gorge. There is full route guide that can’t be distributed publicly at this stage.
Access
The farmer does not want climbers they don’t know to go into Eagle Gorge without supervision. This means that climbers that have not been there a few times need to go with someone who knows the farmer. Please respect this & don’t take any chances, the farmers out here are not to be fooled with.
