Nice warm up. Small boulder problem at start, then cruisey

 
18 Te Whanau - with Alexei Drummond, Aiden Drummond Sport 20m, 5 Motatapu Valley Very Good Fri 8th Jan 2021
Warm up - really fun line! Bouldery start to think juggy flake. Ledge in middle for no hands rest. Fun layback moves on second flake! ♡

 
18 Drop In, Drop Out - with Alexei Drummond Sport 15m, 5 Diamond Lake Very Good Sat 1st Jan 2022
Rest day climbing 😬 lol

18 Lucalucki - with Alexei Drummond, Villa Yan Sport 32m, 13 Wye Creek Very Good Mon 10th Jan 2022
Warm up

 
18 18/19 God's Teeth - with Alexei Drummond Sport 15m, 3 Britten Crag Good Fri 13th Mar 2020
Can be done as a sport climb. Is a bit run out, but juggy/easy after 1st bolt so whatever. Shares anchor with Brass to the left!

 
18 The Arches - with Alexei Drummond Sport 35m, 13 Waipapa Classic Sat 23rd Nov 2019
Super fun, deserves its * * * rating! Up the crack at the start, shifting hands upward and smearing feet against slick face (the feet follow the hands on this one - opposite of the advice I was given for "Easy Lay" haha). I try to wedge my left foot into the crack as I go for a little extra purchase, too (dunno if helps really). I actually moved onto the face after clipping 2nd bolt, grabbing little chalked chip/pocket with right hand and then putting right foot into little pocket too, stemming with left foot against side of other face, moving left hand into little slopey pockets on face too. After that it gets easier, with better and better holds for both hands and feet, as you go diagonally up/right and then fully horizontal to the right. Eventually there is a beautiful juggy flake just above each bolt as you shift along the long traverse. I kept ensuring I found solid feet to keep the pump at bay, and the only pump I felt was in my feet! Haha. The mantle onto the belay ledge was fine with the help of a high right heel hook

 
18 The Angry Sea and the Sky - with Alexei Drummond, Aiden Drummond Sport 20m, 5 Ti Point Classic Sat 14th Nov 2020
Not sure if I did the intended line (which was probably up the arête to the left tbh), but I ontinued following the crack line to the right after clipping the 4th bolt and it was super fun! Will probably start trad climbing soon to open up more cracks 😈

 
18 The Fang - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 5 Ti Point Classic Mon 3rd Jun 2019
18 Out With The Boys - with Alexei Drummond Sport 15m, 4 Wharepapa Rock Very Good Sat 25th Jul 2020
2nd warm up, nice and pumpy

 
18 Space, The Final Frontier - with Alexei Drummond Sport 23m, 7 Wharepapa Rock Very Good Sun 19th Jul 2020
Easy start leads to a fun somewhat overhanging but stemmy top

 
18 Power Pack - with Alexei Drummond Sport 8m, 3 Waipari Average Sat 30th Mar 2019
Super short, pretty easy slab for its grade

 
18 Canard - with Alexei Drummond Sport 25m, 10 Sheridan Hills Classic Tue 31st Dec 2019
Long, really nice line - perfect for warmup with stemming slab and jugs at start, a fun little mantle move into a scoop and slight overhang to the top of big bulge where the anchors are

 
18 Shane in the Red Balloon - with Alexei Drummond Sport 15m, 4 Waipari Wed 15th Dec 2021
Mini boulder and then over. Also, moist.

 
18 MUAC's Big Day Out - with Aiden Drummond, Alexei Drummond Sport 8m, 4 Waipari Average Sat 21st Mar 2020
Lots of lichen; I gave it a good clean with wire brush, but could use a bit more still.

 
18 Slab of Bolts/ Starting Small - with Alexei Drummond Sport 16m, 9 Waipari Average Tue 31st Dec 2019
So easy you could free solo the first pitch without sweating. Then a somewhat bouldery move over the bulge on the second pitch, very well bolted, but so full of lichen you have to poke/rub it off to find the holds. I used the right arête to pull over and then shimmied to the left which is jug city, (under the lichen).

 
18 Spiral Staircase - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 7 Mount Iron Tue 11th Jan 2022
Warm up

 
18 Flight of the Kereru - with Alexei Drummond Sport 8m, 2 Frog Pond Very Good Sat 28th Sep 2019
Nice juggy flakes at start. After pulling up on them, get your feet onto them to prepare to step up hard on right foot to jug with grass growing out of it. This move is the crux and was assisted for me by a little but nice crimp on the left. Then basically jugs and good foot chips to the anchor

 
18 Henry the Eighth - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 9 Hospital Flat Very Good Fri 15th Jan 2021
Really nice warm up 👌 choice

 
18 Sylvie’s Blast Hole - with Alexei Drummond Sport 11m, 4 Maungarei Springs Very Good Sun 10th Oct 2021
Fun 18, more fun going straight up the crack. Warm up for Dodor!

 
18 Big Borrowed Boots - with Alexei Drummond Sport 14m, 4 Britten Crag Very Good Sat 14th Mar 2020
Great warmup crimpy slab

 
18 Dirty Dreams - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 8 Bivvy Rock Classic Mon 14th Sep 2020
Beautiful arête. Excellent warmup with slopers that don't hurt my skin like the overhung stuff to the left 😂♡

 
18 Duncan's Route - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 6 Bivvy Rock Very Good Sun 13th Sep 2020
Fun bouldery start with, as the description says in the guide, a crux just before the anchor But step out left foot to the left and it's not so bad

 
18 Big Boar - with Shamim Shadfar Sport 13m, 3 Britten Crag Thu 17th Feb 2022
for Shamim ♡

 
18 Calcium Snow - with Alexei Drummond Sport 23m, 10 Pakeho Very Good Sat 3rd Jul 2021
Second warm up, Alexei pushing his injured grade. Nice route 👍🏼

 
18 Funacation - with Alexei Drummond Sport 22m, 7 Lyttelton Rock Good Sat 6th Feb 2021
Fun and funky little warm up

 
18 Positively Volcanic - with Alexei Drummond Sport 45m, 12 Whakapapa Gorge Very Good Sat 21st Dec 2019
Really nice warmup - easy pull over a bulge, beautifully grippy rock!

 
18 Tuatara - with Norci Sport 12m, 4 Maungarei Springs Good Tue 23rd Nov 2021
Did this with Norci awhile ago and forgot to log it!

 
18 An Alien At My Table - with Alexei Drummond Sport 12m, 3 Baring Head Good Fri 30th Jul 2021
This was our warm-up. Nice route, felt soft for the grade. Could be 17 - at any rate, cruisey

 
18 Alloldtimers - with Alexei Drummond Sport 10m, 4 Frog Pond Good Sun 11th Oct 2020
Warm up. Knock on the flakes at the bottom before using 🙃

Fun slab! Crimps and side pull at bottom, jugs at the top

18 Purple Pincer Pocket Puller (Purple Pincer Pocket Puller P1) - with Alexei Drummond
1 18 27m lead by Alex Popinga
Sport 27m Eua Classic Mon 15th Jul 2019
Easy fun flake at the start, followed by slight overhang sustained to anchors (past the tree branch brushing the rock). There is a full body jam just before the pumpy part for a hands-free rest and plenty of juggy pockets though. A bit slopey pulling up to anchor but hidden pockets. Beautiful long, fun climb! ♡

 
18 Tavake - with Alexei Drummond
1 18 23m lead by Alex Popinga
Sport 23m Eua Very Good Sat 13th Jul 2019
18 Nasal Excavations - with Alexei Drummond Sport 14m, 5 Motatapu Valley Very Good Sat 1st Feb 2020
Juggy to 1st bolt, then a nice span on flake with juggy sidepulls. Can rest a bit midway through, then fight sustained pump on mostly good holds with slopers here and there

 
18 Temples Of Stone - with Alexei Drummond Sport 27m, 11 Paynes Ford Very Good Tue 1st Oct 2019

Warm up. Nice but quite chossy/hollow!

 
18 The North Face (Unamed #1) - with Alexei Drummond Sport 8m, 2 Waipari Very Good Sat 6th Jul 2019
Fun short climb with crimps on an otherwise pretty blank wall - really different than most of the pockety climbs at Froggatt!

 
18 Logographic - with Alexei Drummond Sport 12m, 5 Maungarei Springs Sat 9th Oct 2021
Second day of authorised lockdown rock climbing

 
18 Unknown - with Alexei Drummond Sport 10m, 5 Waipari Good Sat 17th Apr 2021
Nice warm up

 
5.10a Oh, Happy Day (Happy Day) - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 8 Squamish Very Good Thu 15th Aug 2019
Fun route, walking up the crack with little finger jams and slabby finish

 
18 Bigger Than Big - with Alexei Drummond Sport 28m, 8 Wye Creek Very Good Tue 28th Dec 2021
Warm up for the day. Hang dogged this about a month after I started lead climbing a couple years ago - fun to easily tick it off now

 
18 Andele! - with Alexei Drummond Sport 15m, 5 Britten Crag Good Fri 22nd May 2020
Another warm up, should have been a flash but I slipped at the bottom

 
18 Gauche mais pas Maladroit - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 10 Waipapa Very Good Sat 19th Dec 2020
Had tried this one a long time ago and actually went through the crux (bottom to 3rd bolt, basically) but made a grave route reading mistake and tried to go right of the 3rd bolt instead of left 😂 (it's pretty blank to the right!) Went down easily this time, as I'd remembered that fateful onsight attempt, and gosh is the sequence fun up to the 3rd bolt!! Can't wait to start trad climbing so I can get more of this crack flavour (shut up), jamming and stacking my feet into little dihedrals, etc.!

 
18 Terror Incognito - with Alexei Drummond Sport 25m, 10 Waipari Classic Sun 27th Oct 2019
Finally came back to send this beauty! Nice cruisey slab for the first half, then onto the pumpy section with a few slopers in between the solid as jugs. Crux between the seventh and eighth bolt for me just because of fighting the pump (this is where I took a whipper months ago) then go from the arête left into a stem to shake out the forearms and back onto the arête to finish!

 
18 Eyeline Sport 15m, 4 Waipari Good Fri 18th Jun 2021
18 Muzzifunsta Sport 10m, 4 Mangaokewa Very Good Sat 25th May 2019
I slipped off the dusty slopey ledge right at the anchors on the first attempt- doh! - but if you go slightly to the left of the last bolt and look over the top there is a nice rock for either pinching or underclinging to pull yourself over Nice stem at the start makes it good for warming up!

 
18 Birds Can't Fly on One Wing - with Aparajita Chakraborty Sport 7m, 3 Ti Point Very Good Sat 26th Jun 2021
Had tried this loonnng ago as a baby climber and was too weak lol. Easy this time 👍🏼

 
18 A Carp Died for This Climb - with Alexei Drummond Sport 11m, 4 Maungarei Springs Classic Sat 15th Jun 2019
18 Scrack (Flippant) Sport 12m, 6 Maungarei Springs Classic Sun 9th Jun 2019
18 Elvis Lives In Takaka - with Alexei Drummond Sport 18m, 5 Paynes Ford Average Sat 20th Apr 2019
Smooth wall in the middle with a couple of crimps and slick feet, nice jugs after

 
18 Dogs Breakfast - with Alexei Drummond Sport 17m, 7 Waipapa Very Good Sat 9th Nov 2019
Derped halfway through and took a hang XD oops! My brain usually doesn't work super well on the first climb of the day, which is why we do warm ups!

Note: We both skipped the totally unnecessary and weird 4th bolt which is way out right from the rest of the line for some reason.

 
18 Supertwitch - with Alexei Drummond, Fábio Kuriki Mendes Sport 12m, 5 Waipari Average Thu 25th Apr 2019
Quite slick in the autumn morning before the sun hits it!

 
18 Cowabunga - with Alexei Drummond, Fábio Kuriki Mendes Sport 12m, 4 Waipari Very Good Sat 19th Jan 2019
Strong move over the bulge, past the bulge it becomes easy slab toward anchor, some sharp pockets

 
18 Ambrosia - with Alexei Drummond Sport 26m, 8 Pōhara Very Good Tue 1st Oct 2019
Flash pumped! Guess I'm not strong enough for this to be my warm up climb just yet

 
18 Powder Queen - with Alexei Drummond, Fábio Kuriki Mendes Sport 20m, 7 Waipari Good Sat 13th Apr 2019
Really fun stem up to the bulge, then I accidentally went left and ended up finishing Tulsa Time instead

 
18 Reflective Times - with Alexei Drummond Sport 10m, 4 Wye Creek Sun 2nd Jan 2022
Got confused, went the total wrong way and ended up on the top of Pierre (25) like a dolt 😂 Was fun though! And it looks like I saved my rope heaps of rope drag that I would have had continuing up the actual line lol

Not sure what to call this but "ghost" sounds funny and I definitely ghosted the rest of the route 👻
