Sent, but with the first bolt pre-clipped then led to the top from there, so a tick rather than a red point? Who knows, who cares. There’s fuckall gear beneath the bolt, so not really a safe lead. Actually pretty enjoyable pulling over the roof though.

Great route, very different to anything I've climbed in the Port Hills. Slopper city from start to finish. Quite balancy with some tricky feet thrown in the mix. Climb like you're on European or American limestone. Had to fight real hard to bag it #2ndGo.

Awesome, Chamonix style climbing. Techy traverse followed by great gear and finger jams in the corner. Cam placements: Red #1 and yellow #2 in the corner, then green #0.75 to protect the mantle onto the ledge. Broke a hold on the onsight attempt and came off, sadly. #2ndGo
