13 | Starseeker | 100m | Mount Wellington | Average | Wed 1st Feb 2006 | |||
a pipes 'classic', lots of loose rock and chimneying, more like a 15. the 'pillar of crud' is thought provoking

15 | ★★ Asterix | 27m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Sat 7th Jan 2012 | |||
Possibly a bit hard for the grade doing the direct finish, mostly because of the moss...

17 | FA ★ Manic Melancholy | 50m | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Fri 27th Jan 2012 | |||
Still a bit gritty and definitely has a few loose bits, but at least it isn't filled with trees! Climbs surprisingly well, and less escapable than you would think
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Punk | 25m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Thu 2nd Feb 2012 | |||
With Dave. Yep, the guide's right, definitely 3 stars! Beautiful crack, mostly fist, finishing with a thinner layback section.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Precarious | 40m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Sat 4th Feb 2012 | |||
With Dave. Nice, varied climbing. Went up and down the crux a couple of times, buggering up the sequence, but pretty straight-forward once it was figured out.

20 | ★★ Tsing Gai | 65m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Mar 2012 | |||
With Dave. Definitely deserves two stars, even with the loose rocks. Like a steeper, harder version of Moonraker.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ The Wizard | 80m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Fri 6th Apr 2012 | |||
With Dave, in two pitches. A pipes climb with two decent roofs, and the crux isn't at either of them! Awesome climbing on first pitch, mostly on hand to fist crack, but arm bars and knee locks aplenty. I found the old-school v-chimney/offwidth second pitch the crux, but Dave thought the first pitch was...
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Jelly Roll | 35m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Sun 23rd Dec 2012 | |||
First real climb in 6 months! Nice to feel up a bit of rock again

18 | ★★ Built like a donkey - with Deano | 22m | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Thu 27th Dec 2012 | |||
Really nice, just a couple of loose rocks detract a bit. Definitely deserves a star.
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Deano's new climb - with Deano | 20m | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Thu 27th Dec 2012 | |||
Looks like it has lots of ledges, but doesn't, and climbs really well with fun moves. Had to resort to using my first hand-stack!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Resurrection Shuffle | 30m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Wed 26th Dec 2012 | |||
Bugger me. Perfect re-introduction to crack climbing! Definitely wasn't keen to do another route by the time I reached the top...

20 | ★ Pommy Slide | 15m | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Sun 12th Jan 2014 | |||
It is run-out, just like the guide says. Not much point in taking anything other than a .75BD. Would be really good if it was three times as long. Probably a little soft for a pipes 20.

20 | ★★ Butt Funky | 110m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Thu 23rd Jan 2014 | |||
Climbed Acid Test to get to pitch 2, as first pitch completely overgrown. First 30m of pitch 2 is awesome, but maybe best for the rope to set a belay just after stepping around the arete? (Didn't take enough long slings...)

21 | ★★★ Left Out - with Jed Parkes, anna | 30m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Tue 19th Feb 2019 | |||
Great climbing and nice lead by Anna. Several cruxy moves, but lots of good rests and heaps of gear. Need to lead this when I get back.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ One Way to the Moon - with Jed Parkes, anna | 40m | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Tue 19th Feb 2019 | |||
Definitely a lot of loose rock in the upper half, and a little contrived, but only really needed to touch one loose rock. Some nice moves, and good small gear.
|

20 | ★★★ Icarus - with deano | 120m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Tue 24th Dec 2019 | |||
Lead p1, follow p2. Good fun, took all the 2 and 3 BDs we had. Pretty steep for the pipes
|

19 | ★ Ethnic Cornflake - with deano | 30m | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Tue 24th Dec 2019 | |||
Something new for Deano. Filthy, but actually quite good. Pity about the ledge part way, else it'd be pretty pumpy.
