	Grade	Route	Gear style	Crag	Quality	Climber	Date
Trad
	21	★★★ Rambandit	Trad 12m	Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin	★★★ Classic	David Jefferson	Sun 23rd Apr 2023
Best hand crack in NZ! Took 3 goes to figure out the start boulder problem, then went to the top placing gear. Gets V5 on castlehillbasin, but I suppose that grade only counts if you do it without a rope!
	21 Hard	★★★ Rambandit — 8 attempts	Trad 12m	Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin	★★★ Mega Classic	Zane Wentzell	Thu 6th Jul 2023
The bottom is difficult but fun, being taller might help. I managed quite a few attempts and got to 'the hold' a couple of times before my elbow tendinitis got to the point where I couldn't even tie my shoes; can't wait to come back fresh and bag this splitter.
Sport
	19 Hard	★★ Manicure — 2 attempts - with Oscar Gatenby-Thomas	Sport	Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin	★★ Very Good	Sam Davis	Sun 7th Jan 2024
My intro to castle hill, great climb
Boulder
	V5	★★★ 3 The Great New Zealand Boulder Problem	Boulder	Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin	★★★ Mega Classic	Josiah Hess	Sat 7th Jan 2017
Probably the coolest problem I have tried. Came so close to the send but kept falling on the last move before the mantle.
	VB ~VB+	★★★ Rambandit Tunnel	Boulder	Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin	★★ Very Good	Zane Wentzell	Thu 21st Dec 2023
Didn't think it was as trivial as the grade suggests, but did think it was very fun.
