Ascents in Ōtepoti / Dunedin

went back next day to kick this climbs ass (3 shots, mixed)

Would be nice with a bit of traffic. Needs a #4 and 5 up top, which were in the car.

Pretty cool climb, dbf climbing at that point, never went for the lead.

Very interesting shallow corner and bridging moves

first climb we did on the wall, some jamming

climbs mostly with right hand in the crack and left bear hugging the arete

1st pitch

great technical test piece

Second session. Genius beta from Oskar, including sneaky heel hook at the crux! Installed two new rings at the anchor.

First session, pulled through the crux moved but the real challenge is probably linking all of the lower section

Sport climbing, choosy and sharp rock, legs so cut up they might need to be amputated...

Even worse.

Such a good route

A touch easier than IAEIT but a few slightly more awkward moves. Very cool. Kinda a shame there are so many bolts on the lower wall?

Absolute sand bag if iv'e ever climbed one!! It must be a local joke to watch tourists kick the wall. When you think the steep start and two digit pocket crux was hard, think again, the top is a joke. Laughed hysterically at my tantrums once lowered to the ground.

A hard onsight and a fairly committing route, especially in the allegedly “easy” middle section. A fall here would not be pleasant.

Yes! A cosmic phenomenon indeed

One of my favourites climbs, here or anywhere! Love the acute corner, side pulls and lack of feet holds. And a crack that continuously opens and fuses as you go!

Nice stemming
