Ascents in Waipari

Fell on the last move of the climb on the first proper go I have had

Not a great warm up when it's raining... couldn't feel the pockets I was in because of cold hands and fell off the start. Needs a good clean at the top, super mossy

Red point, second tie-in. Such a nice bit of bouldering on a rope! Glad we checked it out. #2ndGo

Flash attempt. Thought I had gotten through the first crux but let my guard down standing up after having done the hard moves and fell. I tried the start again but then hung at the second bolt. Then worked out the moves to the top.

Not the best idea trying to flash this for the warm-up. Fell in the crux around 4th bolt. Then pulled on and went to the top.

Traversed to Automatic Dour anchor at the end to clean it

Barefoot repeat for fun.

Super fun boulder.

Hung at first bolt. Then to top. Quite hard boulder problem for a 23.

Flash attempt. First three moves are fine. Then there are a couple of really hard moves. From first bolt it’s a walk.

This is one to come back to, surprised to unlock the first sequence.

Great boulder start. Got the beta wrong first attempts. Really glad I sent this by the end of the day.

Took several frustrating tries before I got the beta for the first boulder problem. Was hoping to come back to try more but didn’t get the time today.

Trickier than expected, good fun.

Quintessential pocket pulling! I really enjoyed this one, and the sunset provided a memorable backdrop.

Couldn’t find the right pockets on the onsight attempt so fell at the first bolt. Lowered and then sent to the top. Quite bouldery, with everything past the first bolt being several grades easier. Still a lot of fun though!

The layback tufa is super unique, so I’ll give it 3 stars. Felt pretty easy for the grade, but maybe just suited me.

Lovely warm up.
