	27	★★ Batman - with Aidan Sarginson, Alexei Drummond, James Wuu	Sport 12m, 6	★★★ Classic	Tom Buckett
Awesome technical climbing. Alexei's redpoint was just the push I needed today. 2nd bolt preclipped.
	26	★ Theropod - with James Wuu, Alexei Drummond, Tom Buckett	Sport 18m, 6	★ Good	Aidan Sarginson
Got surprisingly far accounted to all the on lookers. Super cryptic climb that would require some goes just to figure out the body positions
	27	★★ Batman - with James Wuu, Alexei Drummond, Tom Buckett	Sport 12m, 6	★★ Very Good	Aidan Sarginson
Worked the top move to understand the tension required. Just need to be sure of the lower crux and it's ready for send goes.
	27	★★ Batman - with Tom Buckett, Aidan Sarginson, James Wuu	Sport 12m, 6	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Red point! Not in the best style as the second bolt was pre-clipped, but very satisfying nonetheless. Awesome route. I definitely need to come back and do it with only first pre-clipped as I ended up resting at the second bolt clipping position anyway So fun doing this with Tom on the same day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7F1MYs9kqs

	27	★★ Batman - with Tom Buckett, Aidan Sarginson, James Wuu	Sport 12m, 6	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Second attempt of the day. Second bolt pre-clipped. One hang at 4th bolt. Fingers numbed out setting up for the move to the ledge.
	23 ~22	★★ Breaking Point - with James Wuu, Alexei Drummond, Tom Buckett	Sport 15m, 10	★ Good	Aidan Sarginson
Felt like a whanganui bay climb so points for that. Fun times. 22/23
	27	★★ Batman - with Tom Buckett, Aidan Sarginson, James Wuu	Sport 12m, 6	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
First attempt of the day. Just had first bolt preclipped but wasn’t recruited and the holds needed brushing.

Had a second tie-in with second pre-clipped to make trying the boulder a bit more pleasant. Definitely made some progress, but eventually just pulled up to jug and climbed to top to clean since wanted to get David on Dodor before it got too late.
	25	★ Hrgngh Direct - with David Jefferson	Sport 9m, 4	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Worked out some beta on the bottom boulder. Seems harder than 25, but maybe this is a V5 with good beta.

Very cryptic boulder problem that I came relatively close to solving, but alas, time was short. Reminiscent of Steaming Wally at Kangaroo Point, the other dingy urban quarry crag I’m familiar with.

First pitch can be considered a hard hike, second pitch is the money pitch - huge 3D chimney abundant with features. Final pitch is short and punchy with a nice steep finish on bucket jugs with the entire bay underneath your feet. Two 70m ropes allowed us to rap down in a single descent, a fantastic finish for this multi!
