Ascents in New Zealand Buttress

Such an enjoyable traverse! A few paper wasps.

Only half way

FFA.

I don't know how ranger dave did this without a pad!

A bit run out and hard to see the next bolts. I needed to replace my headlamp batteries.

The dust makes it slippery but the traverse is very satisfying.

Fun route

Worked to the roof, but the roofs going to be hard.

Free to the roof, fell, had a play and it got dark.

Hard move at the roof stumped me a bit. Another day when I am not soo tired. Bottom climbs nicely.

Stupid hard at the top or death choss if you go L as suggested in the old guide. May need to move the anchors to suit the current state of the holds - ie complete lack of any in the top 3m.

The description is right this is pretty solid for the grade and probably more like 24!

Solid start but quite fun.

Nice feature! The traverse is also possible without the undercling. Very crimpy and technical this way and worth a try!

really spaced out

Super Satisfying to finish. Shake the pump out!

worth doing if your running up the hill or as a warm up before tackling the classic climb "Vision". Yup... don't climb before 2pm - The sun is a killer!

fun. Pitty about the ground.
