	25	Thunderpussy	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 15th Oct 2014
Dangle and thrash. Got up eventually, gardening on the way. Needs a serious scrub at top. One to work on.
	25	★ Ugly Murmurs - with Peter Mobberly	Trad 9m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 14th Jan 2015
Ugly indeed. Will loosen your hips up nicely...

	24	★ Chasing After Charlie	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 3rd Dec 2014
Dangle and thrash on top rope. Shut down at the side step to Bad Behaviour. Grrr.
	24	★ Chasing After Charlie	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 18th Feb 2015
Usual story on top rope. Bah.
	24	★★ Desolation Angel - with Grant Johnston, Angela Hewlett	Trad 10m	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Sat 7th Mar 2015
Hahaha. Fail.
	24	★ Melquiades - with Grant Johnston	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 25th Mar 2015
Got about 3 moves off the ground on top rope. Hard start!
	24	★ The Raven	Trad 10m	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 28th Oct 2015
Can get through the crux but need to work on the sequence above. Having to re-do the crux after rope stretch every attempt is knackering.
	24	★★ Desolation Angel	Trad 10m	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Sun 24th Jan 2016
On top rope with Blair coaching. Too knackered to get fully into the top crack but setup sequence improved.
	24	★ Sheerlux	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Sun 10th Jul 2016
Top rope. All fine until pitching off just below the roof, then too much trouble to get back on.
	24	★★ Chasing After Charlie Direct	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 28th Aug 2016
After watching Blair and Jason work out the moves. A fair bit of dangling but not much thrashing. Somewhat surprised.
	24	★ The Raven	Trad 10m	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 14th Dec 2016
Failed to sail up it. Stumped in the usual spot getting to the jug near the top. Hm.
	24	★★★ Porkland	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	Andy Baird	Sun 4th Dec 2016
	24	★ Chasing After Charlie	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 8th Feb 2017
A bit of hanging around through the crux but somewhat better than usual.
	24	★ Sheerlux	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Thu 23rd Feb 2017
Dangle and thrash at crux on top rope. Knackered, gave up.
	24	★★ Spanish Moon - with Andy Baird	Trad 11m	Mt. Eden Quarry		Andy Baird	Mon 17th Apr 2017
	24	★ Chasing After Charlie - with Grant Johnston	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sat 10th Jun 2017
Several rests.
	24	★ Chasing After Charlie - with John Pitcairn	Mixed trad 14m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Grant Johnston	Sat 10th Jun 2017
On top rope. Got up to the traverse right.
	24	★★ Desolation Angel - with antony guillemin, blair johnston	Trad 10m	Mt. Eden Quarry		Max Warren	Sun 1st Feb 2015
	24	★ The Raven - with Terry	Trad 10m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Max Warren	Wed 11th Feb 2015

	23	★ The Grip Goes On - with Paul	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Grant Johnston	Wed 8th Oct 2014
Boy this is hard. First attempt and very much dangle and thrash. Gonna take a bit more just to work out the bottom. Top is way beyond me at the moment.
	23	★★ Bad Behaviour	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 3rd Dec 2014
Been quite a while since I was on this. Semi-spanked.
	23	★ The Grip Goes On - with Grant Johnston	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 11th Feb 2015
On top rope, shut down getting past the bolt.
	23	★ Sneakeasy - with Grant Johnston	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 4th Mar 2015
Couldn't do the start on top rope. Feh. Have had various TR attempts since 2011. Always fell off somewhere.
	23	★★ Bad Behaviour	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 4th Oct 2015
Slipped off in the groove, took a rest before the block top.
	23	★★ Bad Behaviour - with John Pitcairn	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	Tim Swain	Sun 4th Oct 2015
Too buggered to finish
	23	★ Sneakeasy - with Paul Whitfield	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 11th Nov 2015
No problems with the start (another sign of improvement?) but came off after the move right, hard to get back on. Then struggled with the top but found a possibly more stable sequence using the arete.
	23	★ Sneakeasy - with Paul Whitfield	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 11th Nov 2015
Back for another go pre-pub. The arete sequence is easier with the initial grab a bit higher. The jug above is sharp, foot slipped, there was blood.
	23	★ Sneakeasy - with John Pitcairn	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Paul Whitfield	Wed 18th Nov 2015
working this one for the second week
	23	★ Sneakeasy - with Paul Whitfield	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 18th Nov 2015
The top arete variation turns out to be too compressed for me. Found a better sequence for the usual way, perhaps a lead is likely soon.
	23	★★ Bodysnatcher - with Grant Johnston	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 10th Feb 2016
Bloody sustained. Had a bit of a sit and regroup through the peapod bridging.
	23	★ Sneakeasy	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 22nd May 2016
Spat off at top but not too bad remembererering the moves.
	23	Diddely Dick	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	Average	John Pitcairn	Sun 10th Jul 2016
A bit of a thrash around working it out. A couple of the best holds below the first bolt are really rather loose and may make a lead a scary proposition. Top sequence is quite ok.
	23	★★ Bodysnatcher	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 28th Aug 2016
Warmup (ha) through the first section to the start of the bridging.
	23	★★ Bad Behaviour	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 28th Aug 2016
Perhaps not as close to a lead as might be hoped. Blair made it look easy of course.
	23	★ The Grip Goes On	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Tue 22nd Nov 2016
Got a couple of moves off the ground, not quite to the "jug". Bah.
	23	★ Sneakeasy	Sport 11m, 3	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 1st Feb 2017
Had to work out the top again. Ant did it better. Guess my strength is returning.
	23	★★ Bad Behaviour	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 8th Feb 2017
Testing placements. Arsed off at the low crux.
	23	★★ Snatchbender Direct	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry		John Pitcairn	Wed 8th Feb 2017
How have we missed this? It's great. Close to nailing it first attempt but bollocksed up the move across to the top block. Fun.
	23	★ The Grip Goes On	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sat 11th Feb 2017
Not quite to the first low jug. Getting hot and greasy. Feh.
	23	★ The Grip Goes On - with Grant Johnston	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Mon 5th Jun 2017
Top rope. Mostly figured out the bottom, had a good go at the top but ran out of steam after the bolt and lowered.
	23	★ The Grip Goes On - with John Pitcairn	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Grant Johnston	Mon 5th Jun 2017
Got maybe 2m. Other climbs I should work on before this one.
	23	★★ Bad Behaviour - with John Pitcairn, steve	Mixed trad 14m, 1	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	Grant Johnston	Sat 10th Jun 2017
Happy to top out. With running beta from John and lots of rests. Good climb with lots of different moves in it.One worth working on.
	23	★★ Snatchbender Direct - with John Pitcairn	Mixed trad 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	Grant Johnston	Sat 10th Jun 2017
On top rope. Got up to the roof. Missed the undercling and gave up.

	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry		Xavier Wilson	Tue 13th Apr 2010
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle - with Steve	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	Grant Johnston	Sat 11th Oct 2014
With Dave instructing. Long time since I've done this one. Will be trying this one again.
	22	★★ Gothic Groove - with James Mitchell	Trad 15m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 28th Oct 2012
John & James' man-up day. Took a good fall at the crux then got it. Look for the foothold at far left and your life will become easier.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara - with John	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Grant Johnston	Wed 5th Nov 2014
One fall on to the first bolt. I note that this is down as a "mixed" climb. I would say it is "sport". 2 bolts. No gear of any use below the first bolt. Doubt there is anything above the second bolt but you don't need gear there anyway.
	22	★★ Banshee - with Grant Johnston	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 26th Nov 2014
Dunno what it is about this but the top just spanks me most attempts. Maybe I should just get on lead to focus the mind.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 21st Jan 2015
Fell off, twice.
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle - with Grant Johnston	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 25th Feb 2015
Short fall onto blue alien at the crux. Must do better.
	22	★★ Banshee - with Ronnie	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn	Sun 31st May 2015
	22	★★ Banshee	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn	Sun 12th Jul 2015
Bit warm. Arete crush is avoidable.
	22	★ Stem The Evil Tide	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 12th Jul 2015
Bridge until top drill hole is reachable
	22	★★ Banshee	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn	Sat 22nd Aug 2015
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 30th Sep 2015
Crux on 4th attempt
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 7th Oct 2015
Lost count of crux attempts.
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 7th Oct 2015
Couldn't get past crux, hands wouldn't stick
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 14th Oct 2015
Only 6 attempts at crux
	22	★ Stem The Evil Tide - with Grant Johnston	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sat 17th Oct 2015
Placing gear makes things rather more difficult. Think I would like a grade or two spare before leading.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 21st Oct 2015
Still took multi attempts at crux, will go next time...
	22	★★ Gothic Groove - with Grant Johnston	Trad 15m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 25th Oct 2015
Short plummet sorting myself out after the move left.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Sat 31st Oct 2015
Crux in 3
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara - with Angela Hewlett	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 4th Nov 2015
Almost clean, slipped at crux
	22	★ Stem The Evil Tide	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 15th Nov 2015
Clean until the top drill hole, then lost it all crossed up.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara - with Angela Hewlett	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Wed 2nd Dec 2015
Haven't climbed for a month so forgot lay back at crux
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Tim Swain	Tue 29th Dec 2015
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle - with Grant Johnston	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 24th Feb 2016
Off at crux onto good gear.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara - with Angela Hewlett	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 22nd May 2016
Sort of direct up the buttress without stepping right to ledge at start. Lots harder. Wouldn't want to lead it like that, long way to the bolt.
	22	★★ Banshee	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn	Mon 6th Jun 2016
Spent too long finding the secret sidepull at the top and wilted off onto the #1 nut at my feet, stopping somewhere below the halfway ledge. Took a few minutes for the fingers to recover then up and completed it. #1 needed a bash with a rock to retrieve. Bashed my finger too. Ow.
	22	★★ Banshee	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn	Fri 22nd Jul 2016
Off onto the top nut again, a very long fall with a very soft catch, meeting my lightweight belayer somewhere in the bottom third. Back on and completed it.
	22	★★ Banshee	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn	Wed 9th Nov 2016
Wilted off the top twice. Numb finger. Bailed.
	22	★ Stem The Evil Tide	Trad 14m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 16th Nov 2016
Struggled up on top rope, then attempted a direct finish over the bulge at the top of Suspended Animation. Got to the fissure hold beside the bolt, then, ummm ...
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Tue 22nd Nov 2016
Left foot refused to get onto the crux hold. Rope still very stretchy.
	22	★ Biggles Sucks A Kumara	Sport 14m, 2	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Alastair McDowell	Sat 17th Dec 2016
Nice slapping
	22	★ Barracuda	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 21st Dec 2016
Top rope, placing gear. Bloody glad I didn't just get on lead. The gear is tiny, fiddly and totally in the way. I'll want a couple of grades leeway before attempting it I think. I wonder if those who downgraded it from 24 to 22 actually led it placing gear?
	22	★ Fuck-Knuckle - with Grant Johnston	Trad 16m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 21st May 2017
Failed and lowered from the crux on top rope. Grant put me to shame by scampering through easily.
	22	★★ Gothic Groove - with Grant Johnston	Trad 15m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Mon 5th Jun 2017
	22	★★ Gothic Groove - with John Pitcairn	Trad 15m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	Grant Johnston	Mon 5th Jun 2017
Oh dear, Major problems. I need to learn this again.
21
	21	★★ Green Groove - with Grant Johnston	Trad 11m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 9th Nov 2014
The wobbly block is really quite wobbly, don't sling it for pro. A bit of a scary shambles with a back-off and hang at the crux, gear thrown up, then got through it. Maybe clean next time.
	21	★★ Green Groove - with Grant Johnston	Trad 11m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 4th Mar 2015
So ... I think it was Angela sandbagged me into this as a "warmup". RP in the bottom then two nuts in the eliminate crack. Placed a #3 ball nut in the final groove before the crux but the rope across the groove becomes a real barrier. Sat on the ball nut, got a second rope thrown up, tied in and clipped that to the ball nut then completed it on doubles. Not sure this is better than protecting the eliminate and slinging the block. And what an arse to clean on abseil. Hardly my finest moment...
	21	★★ Thimblerigger	Trad 12m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sat 6th Jun 2015
Bolloxed it up and fell from above onto crux cam, a good 5m, time enough to think on the way down. Got Anthony airborne. Climbed back through and finished it.
	21	★★ Green Groove - with Paul Whitfield	Trad 11m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 18th Nov 2015
All going well until nasty tricep cramp at crux. Managed to downclimb, rested on the rope to massage it out, then completed the lead. Not warmed up enough I guess.
	21	★★ Principles Of Lust	Sport 12m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 25th Nov 2015
Fell on the arete after the first bolt, numb fingertip, rope burn behind knee. Wrote the evening off.
	21	★★ Green Groove	Trad 11m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 3rd Feb 2016
Dropped out of the crux. Found a better sequence - left foot compressed to block, then extended right-hand push on arete allows both feet to be repositioned.
	21	★★ Thimblerigger - with Angela Hewlett	Trad 12m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Sun 14th Feb 2016
Spat off onto the crux finger size cam again. Need to consolidate a bit on this, solid 21.
	21	★★ Principles Of Lust	Sport 12m, 4	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Wed 19th Oct 2016
Peeled off the arete hard onto the first bolt again. Numb finger again. Sulk.
	21	★★ Green Groove - with Grant Johnston	Trad 11m	Mt. Eden Quarry	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sat 8th Apr 2017
Sat on a brass offset at the crux several times remembering what to do. Suck it up, mostly.
20
	20	Kamikaze Krack	Trad 15m	Mt. Eden Quarry	Average	John Pitcairn	Sat 10th Oct 2015
Argh. Barely off the ground.
	20	Kamikaze Krack	Trad 15m	Mt. Eden Quarry	Average	John Pitcairn	Sat 17th Oct 2015
No higher. 20 my arse.

Hauled up the start, work in progress
	19	★ Orangutang	Trad 12m	Mt. Eden Quarry		Tim Swain	Wed 7th Oct 2015
Close to getting crux start, next time...
