Nodes in Lyttelton Rock

South Facing

Obvious corner with crack system. One of the best of the early lines, with good gear options

On the blunt arete left of Prophet of Doom.

climb up to underclings and large feet under the overlap feature, clipping a high first bolt and then pulling up to good gear in a horizontal. Follow the flake feature up and right with obvious but sparse gear easily to double modern anchor

Climbs the obvious crack dividing the two walls between Promised Land on the left, and Restless on the right

Climb Steppenwolf to the ledge then follow a faint weakness between Steppenwolf and Restless.

Boulder up the juggy wall & faint corner to ledge and corner crack. Crux near the top. Move left at the top. Double bolt belay. Good pro.

starts as for the trad route Envirnment centre, then out to 2 spaced bolts with maybe some supplemental gear.

Direct start into White Lies, toprope by preclipping first bolt, or else solo/boulder? up to it, possibly place some gear to the right, but why bother

Trad route starts with good holds up the overhang and plenty of solid gear. Above, the angle eases. There is a manky old rusty pin and some questionable other gear on the top half, but the difficulty eases substantially

Starts just left of Leaning Wall, on big holds to the first bolt. A fierce crux presents itself immediately off of the ledge, then eases to a juggy ramble. Join Leaning Wall above the last bolt.

Climb onto ledge then onto block, then ascend the steep featured wall, to the left of the vegetated crack.

Bouldery moves through the overhang to the right of Carbon Neutral. Above the roof, carry on up the arête.

Fierce crimping up the face of the overhanging pillar shaped wall. Small incuts past the first bolt to a rest out left and a trad placement, then up three more bolts on the headwall.

Climb Ground Effect to the second bolt, then join Victim of Ravishment to finish. Possibly the hardest line on the wall, though probably not harder than Raj or Ground Effect by a full grade.

What was once a very bold mixed line is now a fully bolted sport route. Start as for Victim, but follow the arching flake left at the 3rd bolt, the angle straight up at the 5th.

Once one of the most heads up routes around, this line has recently been retrobolted and is now a sport climb. Start up Victim but instead of breaking right at the flake, carry on straight up. Excellent, sustained movement and good rock.

Start up the cracks and moving left as for the Active Ingredient, then move back right off the big flake to the second bolt. There is a good cam placement after the third bolt, and the angle eases, but still exciting to the top.

Start behind the horopito tree to the right of the standard start. Move up the thin wall past 2 bolts then join the standard route at the 3rd. Pumpy if you avoid the rest left of the 3rd bolt.

rebolted by Tony in 2016, this is a great warm-up or a good lead for those breaking into 20 on lead. Climbs good flat holds just left of the vegetation and up into the quake scar at the top.

Climbs the corner just above the track, immediately left of Dr Strangelove. Originally attacked the corner directly, but broken holds necessitate traversing in from the left. 2 bolts and gear for the cracks above.

The line of 4 bolts immediately right of the Scratching Julius crack. Boulder up to the top of the shield feature, where you will find consistently engaging climbing all the way to the anchors, on some of the best rock in the Port Hills. This route is safely bolted, but prepare for air time if you come off!

The bolts are perfectly placed, as long as you don't fall at the start... or the end. Good climbing.

Start just right of Citizen Kane at the obvious fridge feature. Yes, it is possible to climb into the corner right of the bolt line for 24 points, but the better option is to take the direct line up the fridge, as intended. Some creative beta leads to better holds above the second bolt, to an easier but pumpy finish.

The line of bolts immediately to the left of Hornet's Nest. Ascend to a small roof where you can find the first bolt, then make big moves on mostly good but sometimes hard to see holds for the next several bolts.

Walk past Mr. Clean wall to get to this cliff with some gems hiding in the bush

Start between Minimal Disturbance and Funication, in the middle of the main part of the Year Right Wall. Climb the surprisingly technical slab, then surmount the roof following the v-groove. Execute a mantle and then ramble to the top, linking into the last two bolts of Funication.

Start in the largish left facing corner around to the left of Nanny State below the roofs. Climb up the corner and out to a ledge to the right. Then climb up the bulge and up and left on slabs to the anchor.

Up narrow dihedral section to high first bolt. Climbs then easily to rap station.
