I finally took the time to tick this one! Tried it a couple of times before, but always had one attempt each time.
Now it went, first go. The slab before the roof is a bit tricky, but it feels easy when you know what to do.
The roof is just finding the jugs and heels, lots of fun!
I think this is my favorite climb in Mt Alexandra
