Abseil into Harwoods Hole

Produced by New Zealand Geographic

Named for the original landowner, Harwood’s is a 176-metre-deep chasm, that falls like a well into the marble heart of Takaka. The caver must ease themselves into the steep entrance, then transfer from one rope to another—while suspended over the hole—before beginning the long, slow descent.
