Routes as sport in Waitaha / Canterbury

The top of this climb extensively damaged during the earthquakes. It is possible to climb to the fifth/ sixth bolt then run it out across death choss blocks to the anchor of ‘ The Subterraneans’ but not this is not advisable.

Starts from big sloping holds to a small pillar, finishing in the scoop. Finish straight up for a slightly harder variant.

Same start as 10mm FMJ but continue straight up the wall.

Very steep route following a groove and crack line rightward, on the right side of the cave. Technically easy but you need a certain amount of strength. Three bolts and anchor bolts.

Staunch pulling over the roof and up the arête at the left end of The Alcove. Head left for a start, then clip the first bolt and move right to the arête and up. Climb the easy face to a steepening exit beside the bush, with surprisingly tricky moves on the slopers to top out. Five bolts and anchor rings.

Another one a couple of metres right. Straight-forward climbing until the wall steepens, with a slopey top out requiring a move to the right. Four bolts and shares a double chain anchor with the next climb. .

In the centre of the brown wall is this direct route over a small roof and up a steep headwall. Hard pulling over the roof, then a rest before a steep exit on the upper wall.

Impressive line finishing up the high prow. Step carefully up and right to the second bolt (run-out), then move leftward past the third bolt. The route steepens above the fourth bolt, with tricky moves on to the "Pizza-eating Ledge", left of the fifth bolt. Climb up and step right for the move to the chains at the lip. Seven bolts, and abseil chains.

Just right, at the right edge of the overhangs. Start as for the next route, but move left (committing) and follow four bolts up the wall and through a small roof (either left or right of the fourth bolt) to a lowering bolt. There's also an abseil station above.

Climb the steep wall beside the right arête.

Starts just to the left of Arriba! and shares the anchors for Andele!

Starts just right of Tres Estrellas De Oro. Climb the face up to the second bolt, then continue up the arête to a single bolt anchor.

Starts just left of a corner and below an obvious roof at the very left end of the Shelf. Climb through the roof and up a blunt arête with the pink lichen patches to the second bolt. Move left around the roof and on to the wall, and then back right to the third bolt on the arête (take care). Climb up onto easier ground to a single bolt anchor.

Start at the bulging prow on the right of the gully.

Climb through a small roof on the right side of the wall.

Right-leaning crack about 5m left of the fence. Pull through two roofs and then trend right to a crack.

Climb under the overhang, squeeze out left, use crack system and follow line of bolts.

Bouldery start on slopers to easier finish.

Cool route up overhang.

Shares first bolt as Cold Ground before moving directly up above ledge. Crux fall could land you on ledge.

Damaged during the earthquakes.

First to Third bolt on Quacker then third and fourth on Peggy Peggy Phew then across to rongbuk then finish on the anchor for The Glimmerman

Could use a cam to protect the first move.

The left most route on the right side of the cliff. Climbs through light coloured rock on generous yet possibly temporary holds.

About 15 meters after the start of the first pitch of Nicked Extension, traverse left below the first horizontal white roof to find a double-anchor belay station. From there, climb directly up through both roofs and meet the anchor of Nicked Extension after 10-15 meters of easy climbing without bolts.

Start the 2nd pitch of COG following bolts left to finish as for Crown of Thorns

Climb the front of the doggie flake, with lots of quickdraws!
