Land of the Overhangs

Land of the Overhangs was most recently discovered by Ash Sankey. It is just south of the summit aerials. Drive over the top coming from Harcourt and turn right heading towards Dog Rocks. Shortly, turn off the road on the righthand side near some aerials/buildings to park in an open area. Walk into the bush, perpendicular to the road. The approach to the first problems takes about 5-10 minutes.

The boulders are scattered across the hillside.

Traverse all the way avoiding the other boulder and tree to top out just around the corner.

A contrived start out right leads to a span left to the arete which is climbed to the finish.

An amazing line and a 3-star classic! Start low (where it says "start here" on the photo) and climb leftwards before topping out at the highest point. You can start even lower...harder but about the same grade!
