Ascents in Te Tihi-o-Kahukara / Castle Rock having Beta

Really good. Sustained.

Great sustained route. Technical traverse on marginal footholds. Excellent crack line above the bolts.

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

Went from the base of the crag and continued up past the ledge clipping the extra bolt to top out proper. Roughly 30m and feels like a 22 doing it this way.

Working route, slightly cleaned it up top. Bottom section good

Done as a sport route with pre-place gear

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.

just as much fun leaduing as going 2nd, this is a classic line

Fun and airy, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

Classic trad crack route

3rd pitch after hawk and arrow, also done in mountaineering boots!

classic steep crack climbing

A witch who lets you breath before you try some more

First serious rock climb with trad climbers

Clean, balancy climbing.

good if combined with hawk into a single pitch

didn't trust those pitons for one second, was so hot and greasy, finished up expedition crack

the 1st pitch before hangman, great climb just before the prize above

mind the pigeons!

brilliant climb feels quite exposed

Short bouldery route

yep classic, great position above christchurch

Beautiful late afternoon climb with the sun setting as long as one has sun glasses on, better than a winter indoor session

excellent fun

Guessing Michael led this one.

start moves becoming polished

Fell on the crux but some how reattached and started again. Made it clean but very hard work for me

another run up this

Great, in the zone for which is new recently

Access to Arrow, both done as single pitch

Awesome climb, finished right on dark

loved it

Enjoyable, fast up the face then enjoy though a bit worn

nice warm up, no gear though!

good if combined with eagle cleft into a single pitch

Probably the best trad 17 in the world..... It's that good

wearing a rain coat

classic crack climbing

Got spanked below the ledge, must have been the late night before
