Gibraltar Rock,

Summit Road, Tai Tapu 8971

"Lovely native forest starting to reinstate itself again in the area."

"Easy access from the road to the rock with some nice scrambling areas to explore. A number of nice climbs available, mostly trad with the occasional bolt"

"Beautiful views, very exposed if windy so abit of care required. Short walk from the car park with a bit of climbing, well worth it for sunrise or sunset especially."

"Excellent views from this rock. Great photo opportunity unfortunately I forgot my camera/phone. Interesting to walk this when on the port hills as it takes very little time. The last part of the climb to the is steep and not simple but well worth it. The last time we did this it was very windy but the skies were very clear and you could see for miles, both North past Rangiora, South well past Lake Elesmere and West to the Southern Alps."

"gorgeous scenery after you reaching the top of the rock"
