Pohara: Trench Town

Walk along the road towards Port Tarakohe from the left end of the Seagrass Wall (see map) about 50 metres. At the huge yellow overhang over the road scramble up the bank and follow the cliff north for approx 100m until you come to a small gully between the cliff and a detached block. There is some interesting red rock and stalactites here.These two climbs are right of the existing two in Golden Bay Climbs. Soul Shakedown Party (22) 4B Right of Oogga Chakka. Start part way up the small gully—boulder to a high first bolt then up to the roof crux. Mark Brignole 29/12/04. Kaya (19) 4B Right -most line and the first you come to. Start on some slightly dubious rock at the bottom of the gully. Things steepen to a final groove. 4B and fixed thread. Simon Middlemass 29/12/04
