Ascents in Te Ika-a-Māui / The North Island as various tick types as sport by Zachary Brierley

Fantastic climbing. Crux is getting onto the arete. Preclipped the 1st bolt for peter. He led the first pitch, I seconded and led the second pitch. Will need to come back and climb as a single pitch!

Climbed again, classic as ever.

Led by Rachael.

Seconded clean. Using the start as a dihedrala nd not a lay back makes it soooo much easier. Awesome climbing.

Finally managed to pull through the mantle crux halfway up. Then slipped off later on denying me a clean ascent. Still managed to finish. Top quality slab climbing with a groovy half-height crux.

Led first pitch. Rachael led second and third as a single.

Climbed in the rain.

top roped to clean anchors.

Such an awesome route with good length. Feels more on the hard side of a 17, but still fantastic. Has generous bolt spacing to add to the excitement. Deserves more stars

Done as a warm up. Dirty and nasty at the top.

Crux is heading for the first bolt. After that fantastic climbing on good holds. Just great!

Arguably the best line at kewa. Mega classic climbing on flow stone.

Put in draws for others to lead.

Generally the first climb to be done when you reach the Colosseum.

15 is an appropriate grade, although shorter people may find the beginning difficult.

Led with a fall in the dihedral, after the 3rd bolt. Awesome route. Tried to link up with 'Weapons of Pleasure', didn't make it through the roof though.

Warm-Up.

Easy big moves. A 21.

Clean lead first go. Rachael went first.

Classic Tricky route. Done as a warm up.

Rachael Led so she could use her new anchor gear to set up a top-rope. The moves require lots of balance as it is quite slabby with small holds. Potentially soft for the grade.

A fantastic little route that was more tricky than i imagined. Well worth the effort despite it being a 12.

Remarkably fun for a 12. Would recommend.

A nice climb for the short side! Variations can be made to make it more interesting.

Fun little route. Had repeated falls at the crux due to poor footwork. Other than that may be a little soft for the grade.

Clean lead. A couple tricky moves for a 16. The name doesn't tell the whole story, give it a go.

Nice short arete with a decent sense of exposure. Crux at third bolt where you lay of arete with smears for feet.

Crux is getting through and past the first bolt. Quite powerful.

Done as a warm-up

to clean anchors.

Seriously easy, with short bolt spacing. Nicky's first lead and a good one for it.

Awesome Roof! Tried to link with 'When Cavers go Climbing' for a single route. Was unable to make it past the first draw as i made it to the second one but was too pumped to make the clip.

Couple falls at the second bolt trying to figure out the mantle. Other than that, and easy problem.

Finally led it clean with the correct beta. Nice short climb with a single mantle crux.

bex and lindsays first lead climb.
