First climb to the left. Start with glued holds and up the steep face

FA: Dave Macleod, 2010

Start up the broken rock left of the corner groove to the base of the steep crack. Make a hard pull up and left then straight p on small holds avoiding the loose rock on the left.

FA: Brian Hall, 2011

A great little climb up an open book corner with an interesting finish where Dave had to use some kiwi engineering.

FA: Dave Macleod, 2011

Start by climbing up a steep section right of an arete then up the tricky face.

FA: Dave Macleod, 2011

A fairly consistent climb that is better than it looks

FA: Dave Macleod, 2007

Crimpy and technical face climbing. Use the first bolt of route ´Not Mine’ to step on the short black slab.

FA: Guillame Charton, 2008

Tricky roof climbing where technique and strength are required.

FA: Ian Binnie, 1990

The name says it all! Nice climb going through a small roof. Use long draws to avoid rope drag.

FA: Ian Binnie, 1990

Start left of the boulder. Clip first 2 bolts to access the head wall. Watch out for loose rock.

FA: Craig Biggs & Pete O'Connor, 1995

(Was the) Easiest climb on this wall. Cruise and well protected.

FA: Ian Binnie, 1990

Nice climbing up the wall with lots of bolts. Prepared by Spoon, finished and climbed by Martin Hawes.

FA: Dave Macleod

Climb the ledge to clip 1st bolt. Straight up to the 4th bolt then left. Beautiful and consistent climb.

FA: Martin Hawes, 2008

Climb two wide ledges to scale the head wall, a last tricky move like a sting in the tail allows you to reach the belay.

FA: Pete O'Connor, 1995
