Great line, gear can be a bit fiddly at times but mostly not too small, sometimes bit sparse - better than I was expecting from climbnz description. Offset nuts useful.
Highly recommended half ropes as the gear/route does wander somewhat at times. Perhaps more of a solid 19 the way I climbed it, I can see going direct being harder- pretty staunch at a couple of spots though! |

First two pitches are the money ones (55m 18 first pitch + 1st grade 17 pitch), 3rd pitch and particularly top pitch are chossy and not that worth doing imo. Fun traverse on the 1st 17 pitch, 2nd 17 pitch is okay only one cruxy move with great exposure otherwise very easy climbing (watch for rope drag round the corner). Bring several extendables for pitch 2 and above or you'll regret it! Distance of last two grade 15 pitches estimates.
