19/20 | ★ Out On A Limb
FA: John Birch, 1990 | 18m, 5 | |||
21 | Into The Trees
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 FA: Ton Snelder, 1990 | 18m, 2 | |||
27 | Prize Fighter
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. FFA: Owen Davies Set: Tony Burrell | 18m, 8 | |||
21 | ★★ Leaning Wall
Climb onto ledge then onto block, then ascend the steep featured wall, to the left of the vegetated crack. FA: Tony Burnell, 2013 | 20m, 7 | |||
19 | ★ Carbon Neutral
FA: Grant Piper, 2013 | 20m, 7 | |||

FA: Tony Burnell, 1997 | 20m, 8 | |||
25 | ★★ Ground Effect
FA: Tony Burnell, 1998 | 20m, 6 | |||
25 | ★★ Effectively Ravished
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. | ||||
22 | ★★★ The Active Ingredient
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. FA: Roger Parkyn, 1985 | 23m, 6 | |||
22 | ★★★ Bodies
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. FA: Ton Snelder, 1985 | 23m, 7 | |||
22 | ★★★ Victim Of Ravishment
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. FA: Ton Snelder, 1985 | 23m, 5 | |||
24 | ★★ Victim of Ravishment Direct Start
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. | 6 | |||
21 | ★★ Buddies
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. FA: Tony Burnell, 1998 | 20m, 8 | |||
Mr Clean Wall | |||||
21 | Drop Out
FA: Tony Burnell | 18m, 6 | |||

32 | ★★ Dr Strangelove
FA: Derek Thatcher, 2018 | 14m, 6 | |||
26 | ★★ Fillet of Arnold
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! FA: Ton Snelder, 1989 | 19m, 4 | |||
23 | ★★★ Getting Rid Of Mr Clean
The bolts are perfectly placed, as long as you don't fall at the start... or the end. Good climbing. FA: Ton Snelder, 1984 | 19m, 3 | |||
26 | ★★★ Citizen Four
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. FA: Derek Thatcher, 2018 | 19m, 5 | |||
23 | ★ Sting
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. FA: Tony Burnell | 16m, 5 | |||
Year Right Wall | |||||
18 | ★ Zombie Fodder
FA: Grant Piper, 2015 | 17m, 5 | |||

20 | ★ Minimal Disturbance
FA: Grant Piper & Dave Van Der Kraben, 2014 | 23m, 6 | |||
24/25 | ★★ Arm & Hammer
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. FA: David Jefferson, 21 Feb | 18m, 6 | |||
18 | ★ Funacation
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. FA: Grant Piper, 2014 | 22m, 7 | |||
17 | ★ Wiki Leaks
Up narrow dihedral section to high first bolt. Climbs then easily to rap station. FA: Grant Piper, 2011 | 20m, 5 | |||
18 | ★ Nanny State

23 | ★ Grace

22 | ★ Hyperspace
FA: Ton Snelder, 1991 | 18m, 4 | |||
24 | ★★ Arms Race
Starts in the corner to the left of Layer Cake and joins this route in the overhanging chimney. FA: Tony Burnell, Dec 2017 | 12m, 6 | |||
25 | ★★ Layer Cake
At the left hand end of The Thunderdome, goes directly up through the groove in the roof to the left of Gone Bimbo. FA: Tony Burnell | 12m, 6 | |||
27 | ★★★ Gone Bimbo
The obvious line on the L end of the roof. Often wet. Pull to the fourth bolt then traverse R along the crack. Previously required a cam at the end of the traverse; now there's an extra bolt. There's also a new anchor to the left of the original anchor, which has rusted badly. Numerous variations exist. FA: Ton Snelder, 1989 | 12m, 7 | |||
25/26 | ★ Gone Bimbo Direct Finish
Climb the standard version of Gone Bimbo, but at the first permadraw on the traverse, instead of continuing right go straight through the roof on good holds to finish at a separate anchor. Using the original (low) beta to get established on the traverse gets you 26 points, whilst the new (high) beta only warrants 25. FA: Peter Carter, 1990 | 12m, 5 | |||
28 | ★ Alternative Traverse
FA: Andy Cockburn, 1993 | 12m, 6 | |||
27 | Gone Bimbo Direct Start
FA: Lionel Clay, 1989 | 12m, 5 | |||
27 | ★ Carnivore
FA: Peter Taw, 1993 | ||||
27 | ★★ Mysterious Swine Disease
Gymnastic and steep moves almost directly out the wall, going slightly left to finish at top of Gone Bimbo. Good edges if a bit sharp, and plenty of bolts! FA: Pete Taw, 1992 | 12m, 7 | |||
26 | ★ Swine Fever
Start as for Mysterious Swine Disease. At the second bolt, instead of breaking out left, continue straight up over the roof and into a right facing corner. Surmount another roof to reach easy ground and the anchor. FA: Tony Burnell | 11m, 5 | |||
27 | ★ Pump Cake
Climb Mega Pump but instead of going straight up at the left end of the Gone Bimbo traverse, continue left to link into Layer Cake. | 8 | |||
29 | ★ Kublai Khan
FA: Sefton Priestley, 2004 | 15m, 4 | |||
28 | ★★ Creatures of Power
Start in the permanently oozy, mossy corner to the right of Kubla Khan. Surmount the first roof by pulling a hard boulder problem, then continue up and slightly right past two additional overhangs. Easier but slopey ground leads to the anchor. FA: Peter Taw | 15m, 5 | |||
26 | ★ The Power of Khan
Climb the first 3 bolts of Powerless Creatures, then traverse left across Creatures of Power to finish up Kublai Khan. | 6 | |||
26 | ★ Powerless Creatures
An easier variant start to 'Creatures of Power' Start in the corner right of the aforementioned route and boulder your way up through 3 bolts and turn the lip off the roof. From here, join 'CoP' and finish as for that route. NB This is not the route's original name, which appears to have been lost to time. FA: Michael Karnick, 2010 | 15m, 6 | |||
25 | ★★ Powerless Jockey
Climb the first 3 bolts of Powerless Creatures, then head right, clipping the first bolt of Scud Muscles, to link into Jug Jockey at its crux. Combines the best parts of both routes. | 8 | |||
24 | ★★ Jug Jockey
Steep and hard before you get to the jugs and then easier terrain. A spicy final jaunt leads you to the anchors. FA: Tony Burnell, 1997 | 12m, 4 | |||

FA: Damian Carroll | 10m, 5 | |||

27 | ★★ The Lyttelton Arms
Climb the crux of Bridging Over Lyttelton, then at the second bolt above the roof, head left to pass the final two bolts of Location… and finish as for that route. More sustained than the original, with a sting in the tail! | 18m, 7 | |||
26 | ★★ Bridging Over Lyttelton
FA: Rod Newburn, 1996 | ||||
26 | Michael Karnick Mystery
FA: Michael Karnick, 2010 | ||||

20 | ★★ Disillusions of Grandeur
Follow line of bolts up the (very) vague prow towards the right of the face. After a spicy run out to the third bolt, and a bit of grovelling to avoid the guano cave, you reach the chains. FA: Grant Piper, 2011 | 18m, 7 | |||
23 | ★ Name Unknown
FA: Tony Burnell, 1996 | 5 | |||
23 | ★★ Salome Maloney
