Curse of the 27 strikes again. Taped up my finger from yesterday's split only for the next finger along to split in the same place. Managed to do almost every move. Fun climb
	25	★ Power Curve - with Jess Cotton	Sport 18m, 5	★ Good	Kyle Johnson
Repeat from yesterday, put the draws up for Joe and Jess to try it. Jess did way better and did every move.

Great, good warm up too
	27	★★★ No Sweat - with Jess Cotton	Sport 21m, 6	★★★ Classic	Kyle Johnson
Swear I'm cursed on this route. Every time I try I split my finger right on the first pad crease. Made it to the crux but didn't bother trying it.

Great route, always a fun warm up
	25	★ Power Curve — 3 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 18m, 5	★ Good	Kyle Johnson
Should have got it second go, made the dead point to the jug but brought my foot too high for the next move and it pushed me off. Went 3rd go no problem, fun big moves. Will definitely be harder for shorter people.
Tue 23rd Apr 2024 - Mount Iron
The Next Best Thing
	20 ~21	Rubber Monkey 2	Sport 10m, 5	Average	Pak
Seems like some hold before the last bolt was broken.
	20 Hard	Rubber Monkey 1	Sport 10m, 5	Average	Pak
Mind the hold, it spin....The rock is really bad, anything can break anytime. Belayer must wear helmet.
Mon 22nd Apr 2024 - Hospital Flat
Highside
	23	★★ Daydreams & Fantasies - with Jess Cotton	Sport 26m, 11	★★ Very Good	Kyle Johnson
Annoying fell at the start on very easy climbing, didn't set of right. Came down and did it
	28	★★ Malomodo - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 10	★★ Very Good	Kyle Johnson
Great route, maybe a new winter project, did most of the moves and some good links. Need to figure out the middle section before the big diagonal crack and the very last moves

Awesome climb

Sat 20th Apr 2024 - Hospital Flat
Sunnyside
		Unknow	Sport 20m, 6		Pak
I thought it was the 19 but cannot even pass the first bolt then I realized it is not 19 and not in the guide book. Seems like 25+ to me.
	24 Hard	★★ All That Remains	Sport 21m, 6		Pak
Cannot find a way to pass the 3rd bolt on the face. Moved left to the ledge, then move right again to get to the good hold on top of the next ledge.
Sat 20th Apr 2024 - Wharewerawera / Long Beach

Tricky start
	25	★ G-Dub - with Monty	Sport 15m, 5	★ Good	Ben Mitchell

Was a bit wet, definitely made the onsight abit more challenging
	24	★★ Fire on the Mountain - with Jess Cotton	Sport 28m, 12	★★★ Classic	Kyle Johnson

Riverside Kerfuffle Wall
	17 ~20	★ Get Kerfuffled	Sport 20m, 8	★ Good	Jason
big sandbag. you will get kerfuffled if you think this is a 17. it is simply not a 17 - at the very least not by the standards of the other 17s right next to it by the same FA, one of which I lead happily in jandals, this had me swearing.
Mon 15th Apr 2024 - Hospital Flat

Suprised myself with this one. Definitely got stuck on a few moves in the middle
	20	★ Hoover - with Jess Cotton	Sport 15m, 5	★ Good	Kyle Johnson
Fun route, definitely got a killer reach move which will stump the vertically challenge 😅
	22	★★★ AP32 — 2 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Classic	Kyle Johnson
Awesome jug pulling, definitely not warmed up enough for it, got pumped out staring at the chains. Didn't help I had to flip one of the permadraws round. 2nd try it went and I didn't even get pumped 😅 shows how warming up is crucial

Whale Watching
	25	★★★ Moby Dick — 3 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 8	★★★ Classic	Kyle Johnson
So so close, can't believe I dropped it on the last attempt, wasn't pumped or tired just didn't have enough body tension for the move I find hardest. Should have sent. Sick climb though. Should go next time.
Wed 3rd Apr 2024 - Kingston

Tue 2nd Apr 2024 - Wye Creek
South Side Main Wall
	21	★★★ Dream Thing - with siâny	Sport 15m, 8	★★★ Classic	Slackaction
Megafun! Glad to get the onsight! Wasn’t elated at first cos I felt the rope when I cut feet at the lip, so did it again just to prove to myself that I didn’t cheat it.
	16	★★★ The Mission - with siâny	Sport 28m, 9	★ Good	Slackaction
Pretty cool, not super.

Sun 31st Mar 2024 - Diamond Lake
Pencil Dick Wall
	26 Easy	★★ Reach for the Purple Love Truncheon	Sport 20m, 8	★★ Very Good	Tom Hill
Quality techy vert crimping. Requires you to think a bit but not too much. The line of chalked holds up and right from the last bolt and then back left to the lower-off seems like a bit of a cop out? Going up from the big side pull on crimps then a lash for the victory flatty was one of the best bits!
Sat 30th Mar 2024 - Hospital Flat
Warm Leatharête
	24	★★ Edge of Reality — 2 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 8	★★ Very Good	Kyle Johnson
Should have sent 2nd go, messed up my hands in th crimpy section, very frustrating! Fun climb though

Fri 29th Mar 2024 - Wye Creek
South Side Harold's Wall
	24	★★ Nu Energy — 2 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 8	★★ Very Good	Kyle Johnson
First attempt was basically to try and get warm after having a break, 2nd go went well. Definitely lanked one move which I could have climbed nicer. Fun route though
	26	★★ The Prophecy - with Jess Cotton	Sport 18m, 7	★★ Very Good	Kyle Johnson
Tried this about a year ago and couldn't quite get the crux, the whole climb felt much easier. Could only get one try as had to leave but will definitely try it again next time
Fri 29th Mar 2024 - Wharewerawera / Long Beach
The Caves
	20 ~21	★★ Cave Woute — 2 attempts - with siâny	Sport 15m	★ Good	Slackaction
Some nice moves down low, but travels through some of the worst rock quality on the wall. Got tricked into going high at last bolt
	22	★★ The Overhangover - with siâny	Sport 15m, 5	★★ Very Good	Slackaction
Traversed in from left for onsite attempt, fluked the jumping direct start on red point
	17	★ Big Easy - with siâny	Sport 12m, 5	Average	Slackaction
More like the big dirty!
	18	★ Purple haze - with siâny	Sport 10m, 3	★ Good	Slackaction
