Ascents in Te Ika-a-Māui / The North Island as Flash

Big hold and mossy finish

Lots of good jamming - foot jams, hand jams, leg jams arm jams. You also don’t have to climb it like a crack, lots of jugs on the side of the crack

First time wearing crack gloves and cleaning trad gear. That double stack jam was so bomberrrrr.

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!

Start was funky if not using the arete. makes it a bit harder but fun variation.

Really liked the bridging through the chimney. Bit harder than 16 if done this way

Very cool movement. Few rock breaks while climbing so be careful

Fun, but felt a bit scared on the mantle despite all the jugs.

Very nice, incredibly secure climbing.
