V5 | ★★ Eagle Eye — 5 attempts - with Alex Popinga, Shania | 6m | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Nov 2023 | ||||
Four or five goes. Had to watch Alex do the crux mantle to work it out. Two sketchy slab steps after the mantle make the ending spicy Cool boulder.

V6 | ★★ Dog eat Dog — 4 attempts - with Alex Popinga, Shania | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Nov 2023 | |||||
Had four goes on this one but I don't think my shoulders and fingers were fully warmed up so couldn't quite make the right hand side pull. Definitely keen to try it again some time.
|
|||||||||
V4 | ★★★ Curvature — 4 attempts - with Alex Popinga, Shania | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Nov 2023 | |||||
It took me about four goes to get the left foot established on polished feet, but then I proceed straight up to the mantle. The top-out is tricky and after floundering around up there I had to reverse down a couple of steps and use the mono pocket as right foot and largest pocket as a very high left foot in order to top out.
|
|||||||||
V6 | ★★★ The Unrepeatable — 3 attempts - with Alex Popinga, Shania | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Nov 2023 | |||||
Didn't try to work this out in any intelligent way. Just chucked my left heel up a few times and tried to press it out and ended up back on the pads every time

V6 | ★★ Dog eat Dog — 6 attempts - with David Jefferson | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | ★★ Very Good | Fri 15th Dec 2023 | |||||
Took more goes than I expected to repeat this again. But found out I can use the lower side pull and get my body further up and left in order to reach higher. Also avoided the small detached block at the start for slightly better style, although it doesn't change the difficulty.
