Kura Tāwhiti is a place that seems to thrill the human heart. It has long been a site of spiritual significance and artistic inspiration. In more recent times, it has become a magnet for rock climbers.
Climbers are like water in reverse here, slithering and flowing against gravity, so much so that climbing the limestone is often referred to as an art rather than a sport.
