Really fun climb. Just make sure you leave long draws otherwise the crux will become the rope drag

	20	Akhenaten	Sport 9m, 2	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Mon 17th Nov 2014
Short, but sure packs a punch. Sloper central
	21	Get A Grip	Sport 12m, 3	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Mon 17th Nov 2014
Weird knobs and nice move to anchors
	18	★★ Mindbeast	Trad 20m	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Vanessa Wills	Mon 17th Nov 2014
It's dirty and Manky but traverses outrageous steepness for the grade.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian — 2 attempts	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 26th Nov 2022
Logged as attempt because I was setting up and then taking down a rope swing for 10 children and only wanted to get to lip. Quite fun, will return when not raining to finish head wall.
	23	★ Fear Factory	Sport 10m, 4	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	topher	Mon 1st Nov 2004

	22	★ The Pie Man	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	Average	topher	Sat 7th May 2011

	25	★★ Rambo	Sport 15m, 5	Mount Wellington		topher	Sat 7th May 2011

	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian - with Kat Hayhoe	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tommathy swift	Mon 2nd Jan 2023
Good Lil roof with a cheeky finish and some deciving slopers
	22	★ The Pie Man - with Kat Hayhoe	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tommathy swift	Mon 2nd Jan 2023
This is a good rock climb
	21	Get A Grip	Sport 12m, 3	Mount Wellington	Average	Tomfoolery	Sun 16th Jun 2019
The last holds were wet so I hang dogged from the last bolt to the anchor. Ok warm up.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian - with Beny Wade, Ryder Jamson	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tomfoolery	Fri 8th Nov 2019
First climb in a couple weeks. Felt good to be back into it.
	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.
	24	★★ Phoenix (Pheonix) - with Bonanza Bros	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tom Reid	Wed 10th Dec 2014
Had a window of no rain and a good breeze, and squeaked it in second shot.
	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

	18	★★ Mindbeast	Trad 20m	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Tiburonny	Thu 8th Jun 2017
The difficulty comes from the weird and awkward compressed positions, specially for people of my height. Fortunate to get it dry. Good holds and gear
	22	★ The Pie Man	Sport 8m, 5	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Tiburonny	Thu 8th Jun 2017
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
	24	★★ Phoenix	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Tiburonny	Sat 5th Jan 2019
3rd go on this hip-breaking move to get out of the roof
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Mega Classic	Tiburonny	Sat 5th Jan 2019
warmup
	21	Tutankhamen	Sport 20m	Mount Wellington	Crap	Tiburonny	Wed 16th Jan 2019
the first hold bit my hand. tape on it and start climbing again. when the next foothold broke and I had a crumbly hold vanishing in my taped hand I decided to move on and try another route
	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
	25	★★ Rambo	Sport 15m, 5	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Tiburonny	Wed 16th Jan 2019
send until I didn't know what to do when the route turns away from the obvious line and goes under the roof (?) or what? the finish of a unsuccessful day with lots of laughter
	28	★★ Scandal Savage	Sport 15m, 10	Mount Wellington		Tiburonny	Tue 5th Mar 2019
couldn't figure out the boulder problem yet
	24	★★ Phoenix	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Tiburonny	Tue 5th Mar 2019

	22	★★ Rent a Forearm - with Stella	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tiburonny	Sat 18th Dec 2021
nuts and a bolt. Not my greatest day of climbing after a long night out but this route is worth coming back for sober

	22	★★ Rent a Forearm - with Stella	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tiburonny	Sun 12th Feb 2023

	26 28	★★ Lean Mean Fighting Machine - with Ewan Barry	Sport 15m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Scott Roberts	Fri 11th Dec 2020
A cool traverse into a couple of no hands kneebars then I had to go up the arete, there's no way I can pull on those holds covered in glue, not that I want to anyway, seems fairly contrived.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian - with Bonnie MacAdam, Timothy Tan	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Sarah Jessop	Sat 13th Apr 2024
V cool roof and some MEGA jugs. Perhaps will be a good winter proj. Had like 3 tries to get to the third bolt and then got a big flapper so came down.
	22	★★ Walk Like an Egyptian — 2 attempts - with Oscar	Sport 12m, 5	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Samuel Vella	Sat 2nd Dec 2023
It feels so good to be back on rock again! I hit the tree so watch out for that if you fall at the head wall. Very fun line.
