Didn't like it much
	25	★★ Rambo	Sport 15m, 5	Mount Wellington		topher	Sat 7th May 2011
Really fun moves, just too buggered to get it together
	24	★★ Phoenix (Pheonix) - with Bonanza Bros	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tom Reid	Wed 10th Dec 2014
Onsight attempt, got halfway round the lip (crux) but the headwall was saturated and I went for some air.
	22	★ The Pie Man - with Bonanza Bros	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tom Reid	Wed 10th Dec 2014
Slipped off the crux with a wet left hand, then climbed to the top. Sweet climb

Seems like someone ripped a good hold/ foot in the middle part. Don't know because I've never climbed it before. Boulder moves on holds that look better than they are
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Mega Classic	Tiburonny	Sat 5th Jan 2019
warmup
	22	★ The Pie Man	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	Average	Tiburonny	Wed 16th Jan 2019
sandbagged and weird. the only way I can explain this grade is if there would have been more holds previously that broke out

nuts and a bolt. Not my greatest day of climbing after a long night out but this route is worth coming back for sober

managed to get the the third draw on lead, but ended up seconding it to clean. first time upside down, keen to work on it
	22	★★ Rent a Forearm	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	o_g	Sun 11th Dec 2011
Tom was trying this. I had a go. Surprisingly I seemed to be able to select the right cam sizes first go. Took a rest. Enjoyed it.
	22	★★ Rent a Forearm	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Mount Wellington		o_g	Sat 4th Feb 2012
Placing the gear burned me out. #4c4, grey & green c3, wires, red c4.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington		o_g	Sun 19th Feb 2012
Warming up. Felt mega pumped on the headwall.
	22	★ The Pie Man	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington		o_g	Sun 19th Feb 2012
Had two shots, fell on both. Muffed the roof 1st time, and pumped out at the top second time.
	23	★ Fear Factory	Sport 10m, 4	Mount Wellington	★ Good	o_g	Sun 13th Jan 2013
Spanked by the traverse.
	21	Get A Grip	Sport 12m, 3	Mount Wellington	Don't Bother	Nick Morgan	Thu 30th Apr 2015
I found this horrible..sappy as on the top out!! Probs just not my finest hour..

All of my sports climbing fitness has vanished This alpine/trad climbing business is fun but not great for power endurance.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian - with Chris L	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Kim Walls	Thu 18th Oct 2018
Bit of a play in the warm rain. Wet out past the lip, so just had a few burns on the roof section.
	25	★★ Rambo - with Rye Stallard	Sport 15m, 5	Mount Wellington		Kim Walls	Thu 18th Apr 2019
Really nice moves! climbed upto just before the crux and fell off a couple times.

	22	★ The Pie Man — 2 attempts - with tink	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Kim Walls	Fri 24th Feb 2023
Hard for 22! Or maybe a combination of my lack of steep technique and strength. Cool moves.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian - with Tommathy swift	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Kat Hayhoe	Mon 2nd Jan 2023
someone needed to clean, i was there. good climb tho

	24	★★ Phoenix - with Caroline Chang, Jordan Edwards, Megan Ellis	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington		Josh Ellis	Mon 2nd Jan 2023
Cruised up to the lip, fucking heinous mantle, punted off. Finally pulled up on some weird nipple things/mossy slopers like a cat scrambling out of a bath tub. I feel like I missed something cause it was more desperate than “hard”. There’s also no anchors just a single bolt at the top but you’ve basically topped out by then anyway? 🤷‍♀️
	23	★ Fear Factory	Sport 10m, 4	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Josh Caple	Tue 21st Feb 2006
think this is what i got on??? solid as for the grade... i need to learn how to warm up!!
	22	★ The Pie Man — 4 attempts - with Megan Ellis, Josh Ellis, Caroline Chang	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Jordan Edwards	Mon 2nd Jan 2023
Big reach moves on roof! definitely not what I'm used to climbing, went well after working the beta. Had a hang dog attempt, tried to red point but couldn't manage 4th clip after the sequence. Good workout though!

way hard move over the lip

bucketing wet, slipped off into a tree

	22	★ The Pie Man - with adam bogus	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington		Chris L	Fri 10th Apr 2015
Fun and pumpy. Need to come back for the send.
	24	★★ Phoenix (Pheonix) - with Matt Hanney	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington		Brendan Heywood	Sat 28th Dec 2013
So damn close. Had about 4 burns, got it pretty dialed, last attempt did the crux super smooth, stood on the lip and my foot skated off. Exciting fall. Swinging out and then dogging up the tree to get back on is exhausting!
	22	★ The Pie Man - with Matt Hanney	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington		Brendan Heywood	Sat 28th Dec 2013
Much more sustained than Walk like an Egyptian, and the end is weird. Took a mega whipper clipping the 4th bolt and missed the slab by about half a meter. Was psyched out, but after a bit had a few more burns.
	23	★ Fear Factory - with Matt Hanney	Sport 10m, 4	Mount Wellington		Brendan Heywood	Sat 28th Dec 2013
Worked out all the moves. More sustained and hard than Phoenix. Crux for me is swapping body orientation on the good jug next to the 3rd bolt to link into the otherwise sorted traverse.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian - with Adam Bogus	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood	Sat 20th Dec 2014
Was a bit cold, flash pump at crux
	24	★★ Phoenix (Pheonix) - with Adam Bogus	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington		Brendan Heywood	Sat 20th Dec 2014
Wasted a bit of time through the roof and pumped at crux.
	24	★★ Phoenix (Pheonix) - with Adam Bogus	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington		Brendan Heywood	Sat 20th Dec 2014
Again to crux, pure stamina issue the moves are easy after a rest
	24	★★ Phoenix (Pheonix) - with Adam Bogus	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington		Brendan Heywood	Sat 20th Dec 2014
One last burn for the road, was feeling great, moved smoothly to the crux with energy to spare and then just completely shut down again. Couldn't even finish it this time was just pumped
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Ben Armstrong	Jun 2017
	22	★ The Pie Man - with Chris L	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Alexander	Sat 5th Dec 2015
