Climbed Big Stone (lead 1st pitch, followed 2nd) then onsighted the last 19 pitch of this climb. Interesting climbing, I wonder how long the flake will last!!

Quite good, easier than Seriass and less sustained. Rapped with a 70m and had 4-5m of rope left either end, so should be fine to rap with a true 60m rope. As in an earlier description can protect moves upto high first bolt with a nut (I did not).

Very enjoyable, crimpy sustained climbing till it eases off. One particularly old rusty bolt felt a bit spicy. Stiff crux.

Great balancy climb, a couple of healthy run outs. A few alpine draws were very useful to avoid rope drag!

| 50m, 15 | Buck Rock | ★★ Very Good | Thu 17th Dec 2020 | |||
Very enjoyable, nice edgy climbing with some great holds and good rest spots along the way. Some heady runouts, good mental test. Counted 7-8 bolts for the top pitch (not 5 as it says on freeclimb guide). Top pitch isn't near as good but still nice to get higher.
First pitch is about 30m but I think the second pitch is closer to 20m? |

Quite good, some nice moves, bit pumpy for my warm up. Solid 19?

19 | ★ Rock Climb This You Bastards | 12m, 6 | Maungarei Springs | ★ Good | Thu 7th Nov 2019 | |||
I think I went a bit off route to the right below the 3rd bolt using some of the chossy, loose rock. Judging by the chalk it looks like a few people do that. Will have to climb again properly. Be careful of the loose rocks on the right. There is a bit of gorse growth at the top section.

Might be worth a star when its cleaned up but bottom half is rather chossy atm. Rock and moves improve in quality as you get higher. Anchor set up is a bit weird?

19 | ★★★ Ventura Highway - with Dani | 85m | Kawakawa Bay | ★★ Very Good | Thu 2nd Jan 2020 | |||
Nice climbing upto fantastic views over the bay. I onsighted the 2nd and 3rd pitch (linked nicely with some long sport draws and alpine draws). The 1st and 3rd pitch cruxes were particularly fun, exiting the chimney and pulling the roof feels pretty cool. The 4th crux is quite balancy. There's still some decent loose rock around so be wary of that.

Awesome climb, some great moves, bit heady. Lead it clean on draws that were left up. Wasted energy going up direct to first bolt (fun start though). Solid for the grade.

Traversed over from pitch 1 anchors of Psychedelic Freeway to pitch 1 anchors after I decided the super airy 2nd mixed pitch was too much for me after climbing past the two bolts and placing a cam.. another time! Pitch 2 and 3 climbed in the dark with headtorches - awesome experience!

Took a while to figure out the tricky moves, didn't help that it was damp as it was drizzling on and off as we climbed.

Quite a difficult scary feeling mantle, took a few attempts to get that. No falls but a rest below the mantle. Maybe more of an 18, though that mantle is quite difficult

19 | ★★ Bring Back Buck | 45m, 14 | Buck Rock | ★ Good | Thu 30th Jan 2020 | |||
Seconded clean with Shaun and Shannon leading. Found the 2nd pitch harder and pumpy but I think I made it harder then it can be climbed, better more on the arete than bridging so much? At the time was confused and thought this climb was JAFA cake but this makes much more sense now..

Awesome climb! Sustained and some pretty reachy moves. Feels under graded/ much harder than pigs in space.

19 | ★★ Polly Prissy Pants - with Charlie | 5 | Mangaokewa | ★★ Very Good | Sun 24th Feb 2019 | |||
Was going pretty good till I peeled off, falling just below the anchor (crux). Quite tough last few moves. Nice balancy climbing, crimpy holds and some quite slopey feet to keep things interesting. Was quite dirty so gave some of the holds a decent brush, needs more frequent traffic and it deserves it!! Anchor hangers are quite rusty.

Pays to read the description of this one or you'll feel like you are too far off route.. Couldn't remember and tried going straight up (substantially harder), much easier when going right out left. Still probably solid for the grade. Next time.. Average anchor set up, watch how the lowering biner is sitting on the two cables.

Another dog.. at least this one I was climbing better. Had one fall at the 2nd to last bolt argh, shouldn't have fallen! Sustained for sure but mostly sweet holds.

Fall onto the 1st bolt and the 4th. Kinda tricky climbing but nice. Variation with some jams to start, some jugs, some sloppers, and some smaller holds. I had a nasty fall on the 4th bolt where I was a bit negligent with where the rope was and consequently when I peeled off got flipped upside down with the rope wrapped around my lower leg.. yay for solid bruising and a sore leg! That was the days climbing cut short. I will be back!
