Best climb in NZ!!
tried it day one of the big castle hill trip and was on it for over 10 mins, with no send. i was all in my own head, and couldn't trust my feet. after watching harry and Sam flash it and Al send it, it was in my mind that i could send it. We came back on the last day and i send it at night, with a head touch, feeling was unreal, what a fantastic end to the trip!!

Last climb of the night session. I initially took the finger too far up and struggled to cut loose. Taking it further down and smearing on the finger itself before matching helped.
